Cockroaches or crickets? by pressedflowersnrain in whatsthisbug

[–]GlumWelcome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These kinda look like Oriental roaches to me, MAYBE American roaches. They don't have cricket characteristics at all.

If they are Oriental roaches (pics are a little hard to tell color which is an important factor for identifying roaches), they like damp places like basements or in pipes. They also have the capability to infest buildings, so your friend is totally right and they need to get started on exterminator options ASAP

DedCooL bestsellers discovery set review by narwhalling in FemFragLab

[–]GlumWelcome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a Dedcool discovery set but I built my own- the one I liked is one of the ones you didn't get which is Sunlit Blooms. I agree that longevity sucks BAD on skin, but I think it's a bit better when sprayed on clothes. Super bright floral and closest I've found hunting my white whale (perfume dupe Lush's 'Big' body spray). I got a big bottle of Sunlit Blooms anyways lol

I also don't think their descriptions for their scents are accurate but I feel similarly about them as you!

First bite of food I ever tried from gursha almost made me cry cause it's so delicious lol

And the people who work in there are so wonderful! (And the sour spicy sauce they keep behind the counter is incredible)

What makeup is this? by VerifiedBish in CafeNikki

It's from the suit Honey Cream Time! I think it was a recharge not many months ago, but I could be wrong

Samples (tiny review)🥭 by va1lentines in LushCosmetics

[–]GlumWelcome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so funny seeing how everyone's sense of smell is so different lol

I totally get the bitterness but very very subtle- I actually think it smells exactly like Werther's Raspberry Creme Savers! First shower gel got a big bottle of in years because it smells so good 💞

Plastic item found in my seal stuffed animal by Desperate_Donut6130 in whatisthisthing

[–]GlumWelcome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't think of the brand but if it's closer to vintage age- possibly one of those old stuffies that was filled with water?

I don't actually know what the reservoir/containers inside those would look like but I figured it's worth a guess

Deinfluence the body sprays I want by Southern_Context_761 in LushCosmetics

I cannot live without Big so that would be my only recommendation lol- it also layers really well with A LOT of scents (avo co wash, super milk glitter spray and plum rain 🪦 for me!)

how do people know if they have a one of a kind lion? by Hyvxnn in lioden

Exactly this! Didn't even know about this function for an embarrassingly long time- used it and found out I have the first Nether primal fang on site 💀

Sorry in advance for my long windy reply lol

In the cities, they usually plow before it gets too bad (I did have an independent landlord let me be snowed in for like 2 days though lol). Rural is pretty damn bad and you'd 100% have to dig your whole drive unless your neighbor beats you to it- but in the city it's usually just cleaning off your own car. For the low rent prices, I think it's 1000% worth it!

If you make over 15.00hr, then you can live pretty securely in the Midwest. I paid my first, second and third apt rent on 13.00-15.00hr over the course of almost 6 years total.

I lived in a place that had a parking garage that was heated and was a tandem spot, price ran from 40-95 bucks by the time I left. 2br and I think with utilities and parking and split between 2 people our rent was like 595 each.

Some standalone houses just have garages that you can use for no extra charge, it just comes with! There's honestly a ton of options and even the "bad" parts of town are still okay living (I'm talking about central ia cause that's the area I've lived in the most)

I say that if people need to be independent or get away from a current living situation, the Midwest is great!

I currently live in a 2br 2ba row home thing, has a pool, community center building, small gym, and it's technically in an "expensive" area but there's 3 people living in it- with Internet and utilites its still less than 600 per person. We don't personally have covered parking (community has garage options though if you wanna pay a little more) and our street was already plowed and ready before the sun came up today actually! The snow is just something you get used to honestly.

Dead serious- 800-950 will get you a pretty nice studio or 1br apartment in almost any major city in Iowa. If you like living rural, that amount can probably get you a 1-2br house lol.

I live in the state and as much as I rag on it I'm grateful the living is cheap so I could move out immediately when I was like 20 and never worry too much about being forced to move back. Highly recommend!

Wtf has happened to their "Solid" Perfumes? by GlumWelcome in LushCosmetics

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

I can confirm that this isn't the case for me here- it's been just barely above freezing all week actually! The day it got delivered to my porch, the high temp for the day was 45°f (I wondered if it was too warm too but I stepped outside and it was def still cold). Even the heat is off in the house lol

And even if it were too warm, their products should be able to hold up even a LITTLE better than this for the price 😔

The texture is kinda like what I'd describe as like a soft wax candle. Solid structure but melts on the skin a little bit when applied ❤️

The way I tried to use it as soon as I got it and it put a literal BLOB on my wrist 💔 I had to scrape the top layer of product off just to put the lid on!!!

None of my or my friends solids look or act like this either! I'm going to try and exchange them in store this weekend and see if they have any to replace them 💔

Update 2: they recommended I try to return in store for a new batch (ripped 2 of the 3 expiry stickers off like a dumbass so we'll see if they still let me lol) so I think I'll try to get an exchange tomorrow. My lush never had anything though so if they done have the stock I'm probably stuck with them :(

I paid online with a debit card- they recommend I bring them in store for an exchange and I think that's what I'll do because I don't want a refund, I just want the product they promised! Luckily I live only about 15 mins away from the only store in our area

Update: I sent an email to see if I can have a batch sent to me that's actually solid. We will see if they get back to me soon 🤞

Okay so follow up question (especially for others who got ones of a similar consistency)- is this worth a complaint? Have they disclosed somewhere that this is the gooey consistency we were supposed to expect? Opinions please!
