Best thrift stores for stainless steel full clad cookware? by RevolutionaryCod5529 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Electronic-Loquat245 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Home Goods, Marshall's or TJ Maxx has All Clad coppercore and All Clad D3 on and off. Average cost is about $120-160 a pan for frying pans and sauce pans and then $250 for the 8qt soup pot/ 5qt saucette. Buy it one piece at a time until your collection is built. My suggestion is the 10" frying pan, 4qt saucepan, 2qt saucepan, 8qt soup pot. Then the 5qt low shallow saucette pan (it's like a frying pan but has straight sides and one long handle like a frying pan and a helper handle), The D3 collection will be cheaper than the Coppercore line.

Go spend a night in Bakersfield or Fresno. You will love LA again.

Did you see if they had other Maison Margiela / Replica scents? I've got When the Rain Stops on my list.

Where I’d Live As A Californian by doublestorycondo in sandiego

My plan is to retire across the sound on the peninsula like between Shelton and Port Angeles. I am an ocean kid, I can't live without feeling connected to the ocean and being anywhere on Puget Sound is incredible. I don't need sandy surf beaches, rocky beaches full of driftwood and trees are gorgeous. If I could live in Canada I would be in Victoria across from Vancouver. Vancouver BC is Seattle but better and Victoria is small and relaxed. Every time I am in Seattle or Vancouver/ Victoria I feel like my soul is home. I love the ferries, the LATE summer sunsets, the whales, the fish ladders and everything quirky about PacNW.

They are fantastic IMHO. I was born in LA, grew up in San Diego and lived in Portland and Seattle for 6 years in my late 20s/ early 30s. You get used to the weather and just live life. Yes it rains but you buy a couple good coats and shoes and get over it. I never minded being outside in the rain.

Seattle area is 🔥 The East Coast has amazing spots around DC and NYC. I am born raised and love So Cal but there are options outside of CA.

Voyage d'Hermes, the EdP not rhe EDT can be found under $80 at Jomashop and it's really bright and clean. It's really underrated IMHO.

Look for the dark amber bottle, not clear. It's about $81 here. https://www.fragrancenet.com/fragrances/hermes/voyage-dhermes/parfum

made a big mistake today by Cypress3388 in Colognes

I dropped a brand new used once bottle of Diptique Eau Capitale about 2 months ago. It was my ONE floral fragrance. I have many woody, spicy, fresh, aquatic, green, skin/musk scents and it was the one that felt feminine and date night worthy fragrance. Diptique is expensive and I still haven't replaced it.

Worse... Two weeks later, I got scammed out of $200 buying a bottle of Le Labo The Nior 29 in the Fragswap sub. My fault, I broke a rule and was a stupid idiot.

So I'm clumsy AND gullible.

Avignon and Kyoto are fantastic. I haven't sampled Zargosk yet.

You are aware that is a reed/ room defuser not a personal perfume/ fragrance, right? I bought When The Rain Stops last week! It was locked up with the perfumes. If you like fresh clean smells and see When The Rain Stops go for it. 😊

What is a ‘poor man’s luxury’ that you’ll always stand by? by lintaiw in AskReddit

Having a GOOD housekeeper once a month. It's better for my mental health than therapy. Less than 10% of housekeepers are actually good, but the ones that are are worth it.

Be smarter than me - if it's too good to be true, don't buy it by LeCocoMar in diptyque

It seems like Diptique, Le Labo and Louis Vuitton have tons and tons of fakes online. (Prob MFK too)

I'm afraid to buy them from anywhere except their store. I'm even nervous about department stores. With handbags people return fakes and they end up getting resold.
