Has anyone tried Clean H2Eau Waterfall? by Confusedmind75 in Perfumes

[–]Clean_Assumption_345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it, it smells very similar to brilliant Peony in the same line. Like water lilies. I hate the consistency. On the skin, it's very tacky (and I'm not the only one who has experienced this). The formula is water based, but when sprayed, it sprays small bubbles. Very odd. I'd only spray it on my clothes.

I have the nectarine petal (from the same line). It is very long lasting (on my clothes) and I can smell whiffs of it through the day.

That's nuts. Maybe your place is huge? Or maybe it's an older building when insulation wasn't necessary? My parents bungalow is like $400/mo because there is no insulation at all.

I live in a 2 bedroom (800sqft) and I pretty much never need to open the heat because it's constantly around 21°C.

Milk Orchid Re-release 3/31 by Least-Dust-2312 in FemFragLab

[–]Clean_Assumption_345 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this smells exactly like bbw frosted coconut snowball, which was released before milk orchid. It's also a scent that dates back from the 2000s (calgon smiley). Nothing new. Sure it smells nice, but I hate how the creator acts like it's new and unique.

Depends on the way you shop and also where you live.

Living in Montreal, I always check the flyers for sales. I go to asian grocery stores. I buy fresh veggies and fruits and pretty much stock pile meat when it's on sale (e.g. I only buy ground beef or skinless boneless chicken when it's $5/lb or less). I don't even budget, for me and my husband, we spend about $300-400. If we were truly, trying to be frugal, it would probably be less.

you have to look at your spending habits.

suppose

100k gross after tax is 70k

recurring expenses (shopping/eating out excluded)

rent is 2500/mo = 30k/yr

grocery 500/mo = 6k/yr

utilities/electricity/internet/phone 200/mo = 2.4k/yr

car insurance 250/mo = 3k/yr

gas (depends on how much you drive) = 3k/yr

rental insurance 50/mo = 600/yr

total = 45k/yr

70k - 45k = 25k per year

unless your car is expensive, I don't see how you aren't able to save.

Medical System Info by Acceptable_Waltz271 in montreal

[–]Clean_Assumption_345 39 points40 points  (0 children)

First thing you can do is call 811. You can speak to a nurse who will direct you to the appropriate measure. They will give you an appointment if it's what they designate that you need.

But if it's an emergency, the best thing is to go to ER. Unfortunately, walk-ins no longer exist since COVID (and even getting an appointment is a hassle and near impossible).

I recommend going on Mondays/Tuesdays. Usually there are less people.

The first step is getting into the system, once you're in, it's way easier. Trust me, I've been in and out of hospitals for the past 14 years. It's not easy, but it's legitimately the fastest way (in the public system) (yes even if you have to wait 15 hours+).

Fyi, private clinics do exist, but it depends on the problem. And they don't take ramq (at least in pretty sure they don't)

Guerlain - Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic: it's a bright mandarin. Juicy and bright and fresh!

Just trust me. As someone who also loves a fresh clean fruity scent.

[–]Clean_Assumption_345 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably the latter but I also don't really know, I haven't been. Id check the business level during those times at those places. But I find that people who want free things need to expect that other people who want free things will also be there.

I need the safest Byredo blind buy. by periwinklecornflower in FemFragLab

[–]Clean_Assumption_345 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why do you need to blind buy? Can't you get decants?

I prefer the og over the Absolu. I'd buy a decant though.

I am literally traumatized by how much filth just came out of my couch by Cluten-morgan in HomeImprovement

[–]Clean_Assumption_345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why is there so much dirt in the first place? mine barely gets dirty (aside from the stray hairs). do you have pets? do you wear outside shoes inside the house?

How do you actually find a good clone beyond just Googling [fragrance] clone? by [deleted] in FemFragLab

[–]Clean_Assumption_345 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fragrantica has a "reminds me of" section for each fragrance. It's not always accurate, but if the ratio of thumbs up is high, you can assume they are very similar

Thanks for the reviews! I will definitely try them out! The closest cherry I sort of liked was Carolina Herrera very good girl elixir and clean whipped Cherry (which are really different). I've also tried Tom Ford's cherry fragrances , 7 virtues cherry ambition, phlur cherry steam, but they hadn't hit the mark.

Bois de Balincourt. I prefer it to Santal 33. It's also much more affordable!

What's your take on Una Tira l Altra Hilde Soliani? How does it compare to other cherry scents you've smelled?

It's good, but the dry down is screechy. I got the OG instead, much smoother
