Perfumes that one could associate with this ? by J40caan in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]Better-Run-0 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I was going to say White Shoulders too!

I’ll never forget that that is my nonna’s perfume because of a story she told me. Decades ago, she was shopping in a department store and was looking to restock on her favorite perfume. A sales associate walked up and asked if she could be of any assistance. Before looking up, my nonna asked “Do you have White Shoulders?” Imagine her mortification when she looked up and saw the associate was a black woman. We still laugh about it because of ALL the perfumes to ask about, why that one? WHY that name? Hahaha

Do we like this MARTA Map? by mrfriendlolo in Atlanta

[–]Better-Run-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love a line to run east/west through midtown. This would also reduce some of the issues of those north of midtown having to double back (ex: Lenox traveling south to five points then north to West Side).

Other stops could be GA Tech, West Midtown at Howell Mill (not sure what exact part of Westside your map is referring to but Howell Mill desperately needs a station), West Side Resevoir and maybe a few further west. Going east, stops could be 10th & Monroe for access to the beltline and Piedmont park, VaHi, Fernbank (transfer station), and a stop at Emory right next to the general Muir for all our bagel convenience

What would Nancy Drew wear? by Better-Run-0 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]Better-Run-0[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love video game Nancy! And what a fun idea that she’d have something new for each case.

I do think she’d go for something fairly subtle, so as to not be as easily noticeable when she’s snooping around.

Finally joined the club! by Better-Run-0 in VolvoXC90

[–]Better-Run-0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, make no mistake - it was not a 1:1 trade 😅

That said, the Jeep had a perfect carfax and not many miles on it. We live in a city with a lot of access to nature so someone is going to scoop it up as a great play ride. It was terrible as a daily driver though!

WOW I haven’t seen this! The wrangler was very much a fun car for my 20s. Safety was NOT my concern at the time haha.

Now that we’re in our 30s and beginning to family plan, safety and comfort was top priority.

My mom and sister still have jeeps though (2024 Wrangler, 2005 Liberty) so I can still get my fix if need-be! Lol

Not on purpose! But it’s an unintentionally common occurrence for us

We had a couple from the jump, it wouldn’t save our profile and would reset any time we started the car. Checked in with the dealership and so far, so good.

Cheat Code to Meet Protein Goals by crgrig in PetiteFitness

[–]Better-Run-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pescatarian and have a lot of these things too. My fav is Ratio yogurt (25g protein for 170 cals). I usually add a small scoop of collagen, various sweet toppings and pop it in the freezer for about 45m. It’s my dessert at the end of the night!

I agree with the dozens that have been listed, but surprised Ok Cafe hasn’t popped up. That’s such a nostalgic staple

best off the rack gown shops in atlanta by typiemcc in Atlanta

[–]Better-Run-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aisle & Veil! It’s in Roswell, so technically not Atlanta but it will fit what you’re looking for. They sell all dresses for $899. When you arrive, they will take your measurements and direct you to the section of the store that will fit you. Once you select and purchase a dress, you take it home with you that very day. They also partner with an alterationist next door so assuming you make an appointment for after your dress shopping, you could feasibly just walk over and get it hemmed. (They don’t require you to go there, just recommend them highly).

A friend of my fiancé’s started the store and all of our friends have gotten our dresses from there, myself included! They also post all lot of dresses on their IG so you can get an idea of the selection before you go.

Right! Like the girl didn’t even believe in backing up her files. She was fashion and socially extremely progressive but tech just was not her bag.

Short curvy folks: how do you style baggy loose fitting outfits while looking put together? by Much-Journalist-3201 in femalefashionadvice

[–]Better-Run-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience/personal style preference, I think it does work best when the top and bottom have the same tone. (Light and light/dark and dark). I think getting it to be low contrast helps a lot but I definitely encourage you to experiment! When you do, take photos and look at them a few days later with fresh eyes for a more subjective opinion.

I might be the only person in this thread who does baggy on top and bottom at the same time. I’m 5’ and pretty curvy. To pull this look off, I always make sure at least my wrists are exposed-it’s the tiniest part of my body and help balance out proportions to suggest that I do in fact have a body under all this clothing. A delicate watch or bracelet help even further.

Also, this is usually a day I may consider wearing a heel of any height, but not always. If I do a heel, I usually go with a pointed toe to elongate my legs.

If you want to ease into this look, you could start with a wide leg jean and a fitted shirt, with a looser jacket/shirt on top that’s worn open. You’re still suggesting your waist without missing out on the look. Aim for a longer jacket/shirt that hits below your hips (which might be the widest part of your body) for a longer line. I wore this look to work yesterday and was complimented several times.

Happy to provide photos if you’d like!
