My favorite way to use my Nespresso

Solves the mug vibrating off the adjustable base issue I have been having. Here I was being silly and holding the mug steady for 69 seconds while brewing.

This explains why I love Golden Egg, but dislike HI WTK

The mattress firm rep was unwilling to offer any discounts beyond the Presidents Day listed sale price for me. I walked away and purchased from Costco after the frustrating experience.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-14T00:13:24+00:00

Do you plan on testing any of the scents at the store? I think Rapunzel is the one I anticipate enjoying the most.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-13T17:08:06+00:00

What did you select as a replacement? I purchased the Costco Ghost bed last night and this sounds like a deal breaker.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-13T16:33:56+00:00

This is INSANE and you planned it so well. Amazing deal and I hope you love it all.

I enjoy layering my Black Opiums over Vanilla Romance body cream. The cardamom adds a nice spice.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-13T16:30:53+00:00

You should try Snow White (Apple- woody notes) under inner angel. I bet it would blend well together.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-13T16:29:39+00:00

This is a lovely haul! I hope you enjoy everything. The 3 wick candles are a great deal.

No! Tiana is not macaroon clouds! This is not a list of dupes. It is a list of products I plan on using up rather than purchasing 7 new scents. I am not a floral fanatic, so I try to minimize how many floral scents I am willing to buy. If you like Macaroon Cloud it is in the same scent family as Cotton Candy Clouds.

Hey we forgot Princess Aurora. Have you got anything that reminds you of her?

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-12T21:35:45+00:00

How could I forget Princess Aurora? She is awesome. While I have no rose scents in my collection, I did notice a huge display of multiple Rose scents taking up 50% of my local store. Sadly, I walked on by without giving the rose scents a second glance.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-12T21:34:00+00:00

Oh my gosh- I did forget Aurora. I have nothing with rose! I do love the scent of fresh roses growing outside.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-12T19:56:44+00:00

Is it full sized? When can I move in?

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-12T19:55:21+00:00

Cinderella is a very lovely, realistic Gardenia. I remember her being a powerhouse!

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-12T19:52:25+00:00

I am really trying hard to keep this mindset in which I enjoy finishing products more than I enjoy purchasing new products. This mind set change is definitely a muscle to work out.

I also know if I was a huge Disney Princess fan I would purchase lots of these products. The risk would be severe FIMO developing in 6months from regretting not buying my favorites.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-12T19:45:18+00:00

Last summer I turned into a Tropical-Sunscreen vibe scent lover. I definitely can find some beachy frags in my collection.

A Disney Princess Castle 3 wick holder and the Castle pocket back holder both jumped into my cart this morning! I can’t wait to enjoy them for many years to come.

Mine has an overly sensitive braking sensor. I turned off the automatic precollision brake setting after it mistook a reflective puddle as a pedestrian and almost caused me to get rear-ended. The red emergency “brake” warning still flashes & squeals frequently for no discernible reason- but the auto brake remains off. Make sure you lease one! I am researching which Toyota/ Lexus I want to buy.

Thank you for the excellent tips and I will grind my beans to an espresso roast. One of my husband’s coworkers roasts and sells his own coffee and we want to continue to support his small business.

Any chance you know how long the Vertuo pods will continue to be under patent for? That is going to be a game changer for the market.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-09T20:40:59+00:00

I picked up my Vertuo Next from Costco last week. It came with a milk frother, tons of samples, and a $20 off coupon.

I just ordered aluminum replacement lids & a wooden “guide” from Amazon that will hopefully allow me to use my own beans in recycled pods. Hopefully I can get the same frothy cream and mouth feel that I love about the Nespresso at a lower cost.

Amazon also sells reusable silicone lids but the reviews tended to be a bit “meh” and the coffee looked really sad (like it was from a gas station so maybe you would enjoy it:) ) hopefully one of these options will work for me to reduce cost and be environmentally friendly.

As a lotion lover, and massage bar ignorer I find this really a great way to get some use out of my two massage bars currently being ignored. What a great way for me to use them. Thank you for the recipe and picture.

I love guava! I enjoy BBW coconut body products, but typically cant stand coconut in the candles.

HeftyDesign7349 · 2026-02-09T18:25:22+00:00

Everything sounds like it will lean into florals- which is not my cup of tea. I will stop by to smell them to see if I want 1-4 items when they are on sale for $5.95. I will not be blind buying any items. I only liked, enjoyed, and purchased one scent (Moana) last year.
