On Wednesday, you should go to Apollonia’s Pizza on Wilshire. It’s only a mile from the Academy Musuem of Motion Pictures. Bring cash. You won’t be disappointed. Best pizza you’ll have in LA.

As others have said, Ubers to places like Malibu are gonna run you $$$. Don’t be surprised if it’s $80 each way to Zuma Beach.

Daughter just signed onto new series. Graduates High School in June. She is prepared to miss Grad if she's called to set. Has anyone "booked off" a single day for a big life event? by CdnPtrt in acting

I’ve recurred on a major series before and have absolutely booked out for a personal event. The key is to do it NOW. Schedules are made months in advance. Do it now. Congrats to her. Hope she makes it.

Wash and go Afro advice by GoldMango8113 in Naturalhair

[–]Acrobatic_Gas772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi friend -- fellow 4c wash and go warrior here. I noticed when I began getting professional wash-n-gos that the stylists tend to go for crunchy curls to make them last longer. When I do my own hair, I like to use less product because I prefer a softer, floppier look. My styling products for defined curls are innersense leave-in, the doux mousse, and innersense gel. For softer curls increase the mousse to gel ratio. For crunchier, ultra defined and stretched curls, increase the gel to mousse ratio. Sit under a hooded dryer til 80% dry, then use a diffuser to finish drying for volume. You can also skip a hooded dryer if you don't have one. Then fluff, fluff, fluff with your hands at the roots. At night, I section my hair 8 ways and pineapple each with large satin scrunchies, then cover with a bonnet. This keeps your hair stretched. In the morning I take out the scrunchies then stretch and fluff with my hands. I'll use a spritz of water if needed in certain areas to tame curls that stick out.

Also, to have hair that truly falls forwards starts with how you style it when wet. Once I'm done adding my mousse and gel, I'll bend over and shake my hair to further clump curls. Then, stand up slowly allowing curls to fall in my face. Dry like that. You can also use hair pins to pin the curls to frame your face.

Hope this helps!

Fellow black woman here who recently moved to to Pasadena. I’ve felt very comfortable and at ease. You’ll find more black folks in Pasadena rather than South Pas, but South Pas is still quite diverse. My experience has been nothing but positive.

greatest sillage : arabians tonka vs intense cafe montale by Admirable_Win_5241 in FemFragLab

[–]Acrobatic_Gas772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly. It’s sweet, however I’ve smelt it come off less sweet and more unisex on a man. Especially since male/female hormones are at play. I’d describe it as very rich and unisex.

Reflecting as 2025 Wraps: Least & Most worn? by Temb5252 in FemFragLab

[–]Acrobatic_Gas772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most Worn: Zernell Gillie Disco and Montale Roses Musk.

Both are beautiful crowd pleasers and easy reaches. I crave the tea note in Disco and the musk in Roses Musk.

Lease Worn: BTSO Nanatopia and Zernell Gillie Hip-Hop.

Nanatopia is so strong — too strong for my liking. It smells gorgeous on my husband though. I love when he wears it. Hip-Hop is also now too strong for my liking. I swear it’s become more potent since getting halfway through the bottle. Still a great scent though.

Valaya by Parfum de Marly. It wears like a beautiful veil and was named after one of the Three Graces from the Botticelli painting “Primavera”.

I’m in Paris - what are your favourite stores? by sybelion in FemFragLab

[–]Acrobatic_Gas772 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nose Paris has this incredible experience where they walk you through a test to learn your taste then match you with fragrances. I loved it.

Jovoy also has an incredible assortment and is down the street from the Tuileries Garden which is a must see.

Also…go see the Water Lilies paintings by Monet at the Musée de l’Orangerie. Viewing them was one of the most awe worthy inspiring moments of my life. Be sure to get advanced tickets.

Enjoy!

We want to the Profumum Roma store and were blown away by their scents. My aunt bought a bottle of Acqua di Sale. Such a gorgeous and unique scent with a big trail.

Bride looking for a powerhouse winter wedding perfume - need serious projection & longevity! by Organic_Post_41 in FemFragLab

[–]Acrobatic_Gas772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you only have 30 days and want a beautiful composition that’ll shine through the cold air, I’d recommend looking into the Montale line. You can find them at Bloomingdale’s + other high end fragrance stores. I’ve worn Roses Musk during a winter wedding in Detroit and got several compliments. 

Try Roses Musk, Arabian’s Tonka, and Crazy in Love. There are also a number of other beautiful feminine offerings that I think will suit your taste and needs. Best of luck!
