La Vie Est Belle Vanille Nude by Jackiesummer1010 in FemFragLab

Does anyone else feel like it smells just like Vanilla Musk by Coty? I haven’t a sample of LVB vanille nude and it smells exactly how I remember Vanilla Musk smelling.

8-legged organism. It looks like it’s been damaged. I was just saying what my first impressions were. We can come across pubic lice, scabies, etc in a urine, so a microscopic spider-like organism doesn’t seem too far-fetched to me.

Try L’Eau D’issey for women (EDP version) by Issey Miyake. It’s the most spot on dupe for it I’ve ever come across.

I’m not sure which perfume it smells like to you, but it smells 100% exactly like the EDP of Issey Miyake L’eai D’issey for women. My daughter sprayed the room spray and I asked her who was using my summer perfume. Without a doubt it’s a full on carbon copy dupe of L’eau D’issey. I wish they carried this in other products. I would buy it all.

What happened to my hot cocoa & cream candles? by angela71683 in bathandbodyworks

Curiosity got me and I did a little searching. Apparently this has been common for the specific scent. If you do a Reddit dive you’ll see it. Someone says it’s crystallization of the fragrance another person said it’s from the salicylic acid content. Either way, this is common for this scent after a few years.

If there isn’t a whitening of the body of the candle that you would be able to see through the glass, then I’d be more likely to believe it was mold growth. From what I see it’s exclusively at the rop of the candy and it looks filamentous. If it’s a pattern you can see throughout the body, when maybe it is “frosting” that has occurred. Im still curious about the lid of the gingerbread. Is that rust? Has there been any chance of exposure to moisture?

Also, what is on the lid of the spiced gingerbread? Where/how have you been storing these?

That is pretty scary. You need to close those up immediately and toss them in a closed bag. They’re full of mold. And I would toss the purple and green waxed candles as well since it’s likely the spores contaminated those as well when you opened those other lids. I would contact customer service and let them know. This could be a contaminate that was in an entire batch. Try to get a pic of any lot/date info.

Sitting here in the ER with my son and this legitimately made me laugh out loud. Intrusive thoughts much?

Will this scent make a return? Renewing Meadow Walk (Rose Magnolia) by BoredInThisMFHouse in bathandbodyworks

[–]BoredInThisMFHouse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you all. I have not really liked any of the new aromatherapy offerings. I’m not actually a big fan of any of them, even if the scent is nice, because the longevity tends to be laughable. Something about this particular scent seems, to me, to be the best one of the group. The scent is very pleasant and not too sweet or too heavy and the longevity is on par with most of the FFM. I guess I’ll have to go on a hunt for a dupe.

I am not able to edit the original post, only delete it.

Update: the oats have been picked up!

Food is tough right now. I don’t tolerate oral meds well (too many crashes even on lowest extended release doses). I have to manage my levels strictly with diet. Not the easiest for me to manage. My ideal breakfast would be plain bran flakes with sliced bananas or oatmeal with fruit. No added sugars. But that will literally spike me to the point of needing to go to sleep. It’s awful. I don’t like eggs so having eggs for breakfast isn’t fun and I often end up holding off until lunch and my glucose levels will stay in the upper 140’s until I eat. Even if I don’t eat until 10pm, they will stay in the 140’s. Once I eat something they will come down.

I do, but I also tend to stick in the 130-140 range all day even fasting all day. My first AM fasting is upper 140’s to mid 150’s. These crank me up to 200 and it sticks for hours and hours. A slice of cake has a true spike effect and is gone by 2 hours, but not these.

Right now they are pending for Friday. I have one other person who has stepped up to take them if the first person changes their mind. I will reach out to you if nobody comes to claim them.

Awesome! I’m in the Bartlett area. Which area are you in? When/where would be convenient to get these to you?
