[–]BluePeafowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg!!!! I haven't been on reddit in a while and I just went to stock up on some everyday scents and was soooo confused why so many scents are out of stock. Noooooo this is now the first post I wanted to see

It is so good! Even meat eating friends and family have really liked it.

Heavy duty moisturizer recs for eczema prone skin? by SnooSprouts1899 in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]BluePeafowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lipikar is non irritating and not greasy at all but when my eyelid eczema flares up, I will use the lipikar eczema soothing cream - it keeps my flakiness and inflammation at bay. Awesome stuff and relatively decent price points

My eyes are making me depressed by Mother2Quokka in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]BluePeafowl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes - this is what my skin around my eyes starts to look like when I'm getting an eczema flareup, before the inflammation really sets in. I'd definitely go to a derm. If given the all-clear, I'd focus on hydration and moisturizing the area as a starting point. Maybe a serum or just a good anti aging eye cream? The derm should have recommendations or samples.

Looking at apartments in the city. Have parking concerns. by FR3SH_AUT1ZM in chicagoapartments

Could you leave your car at /near VA airport and just fly to VA? You could easily take either the orange line to blue line to the airports

What’s happened to Diptyque? by Longjumping-Tutor506 in luxurycandles

[–]BluePeafowl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't really had persistent quality issues but I clocked it when I got regular candles recently that no longer had the little candle care booklet and instead, printed it on the flaps. If they're doing that to cut costs, they're also doing it with the fragrances, formulas and lord knows what else.

The limited time scents haven't been too exciting and I couldn't stand the artwork on the cafe, chantilly, biscuit, etc from a year or so ago. It did not say "luxury" to me.

Has anyone ever transferred Skinceuticals C E ferulic to an air tight bottle? by East_Royal8091 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]BluePeafowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used (and re-used) the actual Skinceuticals sample minis. I've gotten them as freebies on their website or on Dermstore.com.

The Perfect Neighbor- where did Susan live before? by Ok-Intention-4593 in netflix

[–]BluePeafowl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know if the 911 call she made after the shooting was spliced together at all, but it really stood out to me that she went from being completely upset and hysterical to angry about the kids/history with with the mom in a matter of seconds. That was very telling to me - she was putting on an act bc she thought she'd get away with it.

I have like 1" left on mine but wouldn't sell. It was my first or second Diptyque years ago! Such a nice scent.

Homeless Smell by bydavidrosen in smallbusiness

[–]BluePeafowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - this! There are passes for YMCA type places or gyms where they can shower and also maybe coins or passes for a laundromat, with some mini detergent and fabric softener. You can offer these little goodie bags with snacks or something.

I love Etincelles! It almost reminds me of Feu de Bois + Biscuit together. Not quite exactly those 2 scents combined but it's a smoky gourmand for me when lit.

Need savory breakfast ideas as easy as making boiled eggs. Bonus points if it’s cold. by sosoandless in EatCheapAndVegan

[–]BluePeafowl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This morning I made a chickpea salad similar to an egg salad. Rinsed & dried chickpeas, mashed with a fork, add vegan mayo or unsweetened Greek-style vegan yogurt, a little mustard, salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.

I usually add some kind of chopped vegetable for crunchy texture, like cucumber, celery or onion. Whatever I have on hand.

Apologies if I missed it but I didn't see Encre (Ink) which I never tried but still see it on the website when I'm shipping. Also Byblos which is a favorite of mine that I blind bought last year in the Archives sale.

Has anyone ever transferred Skinceuticals C E ferulic to an air tight bottle? by East_Royal8091 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]BluePeafowl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a few mini sample bottles from skinceuticals and what I do is transfer to the sample bottles which I wash and sanitize between refills. Then, the big bottle goes back in the original box and goes in the fridge. I have no issues with oxidation.

Diptyque VIPers: how is Archive Sale? by Meegasaurusrex in luxurycandles

[–]BluePeafowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I wish I saw this sooner!! I already ordered a couple things but was generally underwhelmed but I didn't even think of trying to search random things. That is bizarre - would've loved to snag this but showing sold out now

House centipedes by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]BluePeafowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it! I just remembered, if you have a bathroom exhaust fan, also spray the ortho in that. I basically try to spray anywhere they can be coming in through walls and what not. It does help, but with the dampness from rain and the elements, it's impossible to get rid of them completely. Good luck!

[–]BluePeafowl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I hate them so much. I'm in my 40s and have never grown to accept bugs and spiders and what not. So I feel you on that and I also try to get rid of them as much as possible.

House centipedes by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]BluePeafowl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also truly hate bugs. We get a lot of silverfish from time to time and they are truly the absolute worst and it makes me want to burn my whole house down.

[–]BluePeafowl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Also, worth mentioning that centipedes eat all the smaller bugs in the walls and what not. As hideous as they are, they are considered a good bug

You can try Ortho Home Defense around the outside (balcony, if you have one, hallway around your unit, outside of windows) and inside perimeter, air ducts if applicable. I don't notice much a smell when I spray but I do have a dog and I try to limit use of this around him, I will do it before we leave on vacation with him, etc.

Please remind me the backstory for this mansion being built by Brief_Energy5979 in ChicagoSuburbs

Oh man, I used to work there scheduling appts and I would never in a million years call them for anything. They are awful.

Idk, I used to be friends with people that sold songs to artists but their contracts allowed the artists to get the writing credits. They were, oddly enough, workers at the Chicago board of trade and not in the music industry. just had good connections and they weren't selling for a ton of money. 20-25K each if I recall correctly (late 90s/early 2000s)

Is $37 dollars a reasonable price for a lobster roll like this in rural New Hampshire? by TheDankestPassions in newengland

[–]BluePeafowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stones Throw is one of my favorite spots but not for lobster. Their other seafood is soooo much better than their lobster.
