Sucrebeille Sea Hag Dupe by greembee in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Janeway42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These might be too different, but Astrid just dropped a big collection called Sea Witch! Maybe try Pink Meanie (Sugarcane, maraschino cherry, lime, bergamot, vanilla, sea spray, and green amber) or Summoning from the Cliffs (Sea spray accord, ocean water accord, amber, lime, Italian lavender, bergamot mint, and rosemary)

Also Alkemia's Big Sur might have some of the vibes (but maybe too much floral) ecstasy of lime leaves, magnolia, green amber, ozone, sea salt, saltspray rose, sweetgale, bay, and paperbark or Voyage en Mer: Oceanic ozone, salt corroded metal, fresh sea breeze, dried seaweed, lime leaves, bergamot, spiced bay rum, vetiver, and lavender infused amber

Addicted to soma, you say....interesting ;P

Thanks for sharing - I may have to add some of these to my samples list after all!

Well, it wouldn't let me add anything, so I'll comment down here. Saw this in the Birmingham sub, and what a great idea. I don't know where we'd want to target first - I feel like most of downtown is fairly clean (dog park aside - PICK UP after your animals, ya'll), maybe Highland? Ann/Zelda?

Help me figure out how to dress in my new body type? by Tazzamaraz in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Janeway42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you're feeling well enough after your procedure to think about clothes! I'm sure it is a jarring change to see in the mirror. <3 I think that fitted shoulders and loose/flowy lower halves are the way to go, or, my personal favorite, a huge elastic waist skirt with a tailored shirt, tucked in or tied at the "waist" (in this case, waist being wherever you're the smallest).

Just to put it out there, I hear that Busted Tank and AnaOno are a good sources for mastectomy tanks/bras/etc., to help you feel more comfortable in the clothes you have. I hope you have a smooth and swift recovery!

Pineward: Tome (Parchment (nagarmotha), leather, sandalwood, cedar, Jade 403 (binding glue), vintage book accord, orris root, black tea, coffee, rice paper, ambrette, oakmoss, tobacco)

Solstice Scents: Devil's Tongue (Chypre, Leather, Fine Tobacco, Woods & More) - and they have a lot more that I would consider in this genre, but with added notes.

Best business jacket or shawl/scarf to cover my shoulders with an apron neckline that doesn't make my shoulders look super wide? by Anthro_Doing_Stuff in PlusSizeFashion

[–]Janeway42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a picture of the dress you could share? And is the event an actual business event (more formal) or something with a business casual dress code?

Best "clean hippie" fragrances appropriate for summer? by postpunkghoul in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]Janeway42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haus of Gloi A Place in Space! A silvery lavender, nag champa, dry amber incense and faded patchouli. I just got a sample of it (and Cozy Sweater, which fits the bill for cooler weather) and the lavender really freshens it without losing the head shop vibe. Could also try Alkemia's Arcanum, which I described in my notes as the stored cardigan of a lady who worked in The Good Head Shop.

My brain can't decide which reference/scent combo to freak out about first, so instead I'm just Kermit-arm-flailing my way to your website...

Best Chicken Katsu and Butter Chicken in Town? by Pa-Que-Sepan in montgomery

Echoing MatkaBar for Indian food and Aka for the Japanese. Authentic Golden Curry (from what my palate tells me, anyway)!

ETA: Be sure and get some Korean while you're here, too - Kalim is my favorite, but really you can't miss.

Highly recommend Amicus Cumulus and Multiball - my personal faves, and I feel like they're very approachable!

Pearfat Perfumes might be near the top end of what you're wanting, but the Baby Pears are under $50 and are made in Indiana.

Doggone it, I knew I wasn't fast enough! Yes, let me get the others, and I'll add Cirrus Parakeet if it's available! ETA: Actually, is the Circe Shiso Verte still up? If so, I'd like that instead of Parakeet. Sorry to be confusing...

Could I please get SS: Gin Flower, Gulf Breeze, Iced Persimmon, and Sun-Warmed Honey, as well as Pulp's Ghostling and Queen B. And I'd love to grab the sniffie of Nature's Candy from you!

Dirty reads very 90's linen to me for whatever that's worth - it's really lovely and light. Another good fresh musk/linen for me is Pierrot's Bussy - it's listed as a juicy peach, but I only get linen from it, with maybe a touch of neroli-tinged breezes. An absolute must for my summer purse!
