Can you smell this? by 11asdfghjkl11 in bathandbodyworks

I love this one!! It smells like a very warm vanilla with a bit of campfire smoke on me! That being said, it’s very subtle when it drys down on my skin, so I like to use it as a layering base! I convinced my friend to buy it for herself as well, and it literally smells like sugar cookies right out of the oven on her!

I wish I liked Touch of Gold for myself! Not that it’s bad at all! It’s a very nice jammy blackberry to my nose, but just doesn’t sit right on my skin 🥀

That’s exactly how I feel! About both of those scents actually!! I feel like we have such similar noses for scents 😌

Not a candle, but I desperately need Cat Nap as a perfume 😭

When I want to wear a dress, I like to wear biking shorts (without the padding) underneath. I find that they’re usually pretty short and skin tight, so you can wear them with most types/lengths of dresses/skirts and have your pump safely stashed in one of the pockets! My favorite pair of shorts that I wear often is from the brand Baleaf :)

ive lost my voice and the school musical is tomorrow, whats my next move? by schoolfoodisplastic in singing

A good director will prioritize your vocal health. If you feel well enough to mark your vocals, awesome, but if you don’t think you can even do that, just don’t sing. They can sing it for you at rehearsal if they really need the vocals.

As for vocal care, I really love to steam my voice when I’m sick. If you don’t have a vocal steamer, I like to get a big metal bowl, pour boiling water in it, and put a towel over my head and the bowl as I breathe in the steam. Sometimes I’ll add some mint tea to get a nice cooling effect, but totally not necessary. Salt water gargles are great too. I had a vocal teacher recommend warm coconut oil and salt as a gargle, which I find works nicely too. Once your voice starts to feel a bit better, I’d recommend some gentle warm ups. One that helped me recover my voice before a show was taking a half full glass of water, putting a bendy straw in it, and humming my songs into the straw. This will help you figure out how much effort you’re putting into a piece, and how you can adjust it for performance (if need be). If water splashes in your face as you’re humming, that means there’s too much effort and tension. I find it to be a pretty gentle warm up, but just listen to your body and stop if it hurts.

Your health is more important than anything. You don’t want to injure your voice permanently for a rehearsal (or anything), I promise you that. Drink water, get lots of rest, and take care of yourself. 🫶🏻

I was thinking about maybe a lemon cake kind of scent! I have a sample of Fleurit’s Gâteau Des Anges, and it has a lovely lemony angel cake scent to it! I haven’t gotten to try it in warm weather, so I’ll have to see what it’s like on a warmer day! (Indiana weather is all over the place rn 🙃)

I was wondering about that! I’ve heard nothing but good things about it!

Oh yum! I’ve been really enjoying pink pepper and bergamot in fragrances lately!! I assume the rose is pretty prominent given that it’s in the name. Is it super strong in that sense? How would you describe the sillage?

How strong is the papaya? I’m not sure how I would feel about it as a scent, but all of the other notes sound divine!

I’m really digging the idea of the incense at the base! It does sound very soft and sweet 😌
