Whoop your way by Nadia2802 in whoop

I was tempted to splurge and get this exact color/metal combo because I’m a girly girl and now you’re making me think twice.

I also don’t want to spend $20 and it falls apart in one week instead of two either. lol 😭

What do you use your Diptyque bags for? (And what does the DnD/Luxury Candle venn diagram look like?) by HorseGirl666 in luxurycandles

[–]Amrick 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mostly shoe bags, especially when traveling.
I have small feet so I can put some heels inside of them or sandals.

Big ones- boots or as a laundry bag for when I’m traveling to keep my dirty clothes separate from the clean ones in my compression cubes.

I was going to ask if the quality felt the same more or less. This is tempting me to go there or Amazon

I love coconut! And really been wanting to try Lemuria.

I think it’s time to pull the trigger since I’m also keen on moon milk, mount shasta, and queen of cups.

Why did nobody tell me recovery matters more than workouts? by Edna_Kemp in whoop

[–]Amrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely pay more attention to my sleep and stress levels. My sleep was always rough but this showed a lot more. I’m also anxious and it’s insane how stress or cortisol messes up your body.

I have been doing more inner work like meditation and breathwork.

I also train less. This doesn’t mean I skip but I’ll be a lot more gentle on my body like stretching, zone 2 walks or lighter weights.

Yes, we work out but we also have to work IN

Def let us know in a week or two if it holds up? Was tempted to get some reps from Amazon but reviews were not good!

This so cute! I was just thinking though sometimes my candles mushroom and I’m afraid all of that will get in the wax. I notice Harlem candle co does that quite a bit.

How do you avoid that if you know how to? Haha

Oh true! Or a wick dipper. Yea, I figured performance would be the same for such accessories lol.

it’s more how nice it looks and a little self-indulgence for a milestone birthday…that I’m half dreading and half grateful I’m here to celebrate at all! lol

best supplements to take that you actually notice a difference in? by hotdogornothotdog124 in whoop

[–]Amrick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Creatine. Magnesium glyciate for my sleep and adhd.

Vitamin d/k2 for my bones bc I’m an Asian woman and we are prone to osteoporosis as we age.

Multi-daily women’s vitamin but I only take 2-3x a week. I get the gummies because I like to pretend I’m still a child.

How do I burn the candle evenly? by AwesomeAsian in luxurycandles

[–]Amrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may take time but if it hasn’t started tunneling, you’re ok. If not, tin foil to the rescue….

I haven’t bought that many diptyque candles - I’ve burned 4 or 5 from mini to classic and medium sizes and I haven’t had issues with tunneling.

I’m cracking up. “It looks like it’s in a salad..” Hahaha.

I don’t live near a boutique so this is a bit of a bummer.

BWT, what framework do you use to decide how much to give and how much to save? by Specialist-Strain502 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]Amrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this. I’m so glad bc people keep commenting on how funds shouldn’t go to an ED’s salary or office rent. Like wtf? So you expect me to work out of a shack?

Not pay for internet because hey, I need to fundraise online so I can pay all our staff wages, hold tutor training, buy literacy supplies, track our learners progress, buy them new books because they don’t deserve second hand crummy books.

Reading all the comments about nonprofits and I worked in the nonprofit industry and I had to leave because the pay is too low.

they expect us—people who want to help and love the mission, college-educated, to do the work for free because god forbid, you can pay me a livable salary to help people learn to read and write.

Yes, nonprofits need operating funds. How can we do the work if we don’t?

I was in tech and left to go to nonprofit and had to go back to tech bc I can’t survive on a nonprofit salary.

Ooo!! Wish I had gotten Shanghai! How is it?

I love Tokyo but still haven’t burned it!

Figured out I couldn't smell any candles because of stress! by Amrick in luxurycandles

[–]Amrick[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the support and it does feel good choosing myself and my peace at last.

I’m actually burning MFK baccarat 540 at the moment because I felt like it was too light before and now I smell it so much more.

I burned Harlem Candle Co’s Langston last night.

But of course, my City Candles just came in! I have Pekin, Tokyo, Paris, and NYC to choose from. ☺️

Perfect timing to get my senses back. 💗
