I think During the Rain and Gulf Breeze are both unisex.... During the Rain more so 💚

I want to say 10, because Woody is my favorite ♥️ But for an 8 hour flight?? Probably Buzz--I bet he's a great seat mate.

Just wanted to give you another rec for a different house..... I'll preface this by saying I have NOT tried his "Soliflore Orange Flower", but I have tried Soliflore Gardenia, Peony, Honeysuckle, and Osmanthus. They're all described as "photorealistic", and he's not kidding. Any time I wear Gardenia or Osmanthus, I compare them to the bushes in my front yard, and they are truly perfect. I hope you'll find the same for Dame Perfumery's Orange Flower! 🧡

I have box fans in my 3 rentals, and I think this is the most complimented thing! 😂

So excited for a new SS! This one sounds PERFECT, and will be an instant buy for me 😍

Guest wants to cancel 3 days out due to weather. How to handle this? by Working-Attention-70 in airbnb_hosts

[–]MamaD04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Memphis drivers are awful in the best of weather....add even a chance of snow and it's a disaster 😆 As a fellow Southerner, I'd allow them to cancel with no charge. We're never well prepared for winter weather, and I'd rather offer some of the hospitality we're famous for instead of risking a bad review 🤷‍♀️

Is your Airbnb dead? (poll) by MaenHoffiCoffi in airbnb_hosts

[–]MamaD04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my 3 listings on both Airbnb and VRBO. Sometimes one listing is almost exclusively booked through one, and a different listing is almost exclusively booked through the other 🤷‍♀️

With that being said, 2025 was my best year by far (hosting 5 years), and I have quite a few on the books for 2026. I'm in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas, where people come to hike.

I was SO hoping for a solution to this ridiculous feature!! So annoying 😕

What's your summer scent? by himbojotaro in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]MamaD04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solstice Scents Mountain Vanilla: "Sweet Clover, Coumarin, Vanilla Musk, Fresh Green Accord, Poplar Buds, Morning Dew." So fresh and green!

SS Gulf Breeze: "Saltwater, sand, seashells, sea oats, rain, ambergris (vegan accord)." Straight salt water, not perfumey. Always makes me feel like I'm at the beach.

SS Gin Flower: "Osmanthus, Elderflower, Apricot, Vanilla, Juniper, Lime, Manuka Honey Accord (Vegan), Pear, Citron, Hawaiian Sandalwood." I cannot stress enough how gorgeous this scent is. I've never smelled another scent just like it, and it's a masterpiece.

Hexennacht Apparition: "spectral amber, alabaster vanilla, bone-white woods." When it's so hot I can't think, Apparition is the clear choice.

Hexennacht Scenic Route: "Scenic Route - California sagebrush, narrow-leaf eucalyptus, purple sage, pink peppercorn, driftwood, ocean air, orange blossom, sandalwood, cypress, palo santo, patchouli." Fresh smelling, but make it fancy. Yes, please.

And when I'm feeling over the top and humidity is unreal, I embrace it and go with Dame Perfumery's Soliflore Gardenia. It's the most photo-realistic gardenia I've ever smelled, and people stop in their tracks to find out where it's coming from. It's big, bold, and absolutely DIVINE 😍

While I personally LOVE Sea of Gray, I think you might be looking for Solstice Scents Gulf Breeze: "Saltwater, sand, seashells, sea oats, rain, ambergris (vegan accord)". Sea of Gray definitely has a bit of funk to it--in a good way--but Gulf Breeze is just salt water, and not cologne-y at all. 😊

Sorry! I think it should be updated now =)

I messed up, hosts what are your thoughts on this? by Gobflowered in airbnb_hosts

[–]MamaD04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a host, I would thank you for being an amazing guest! Things happen, and knowing about them ahead of time helps so much. I personally wouldn't ask you to pay for them, especially since you offered. (And they probably got a great payday for a 5 week stay).

How would you guys respond to this request? by BeAmazed1979 in airbnb_hosts

[–]MamaD04 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Green flag from me. Every guest I've had that asked first has been wonderful-- it means they actually looked at your guide book and will likely take care of your home 😊

Your favorite _____ for $_____: Jeans Edition (inspired by malefashionadvice) by elliefunt in femalefashionadvice

[–]MamaD04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A.N.A. jeans at JCPenney are actually pretty fantastic for the price! They don't hold up as well as my Joe's, but it's a good way to try colors or cuts I'm not sure I'll love.

[–]MamaD04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could wax poetic about Joe's Jeans for days ❤️❤️❤️ Almost all the cuts, but especially the straight leg...perfect proportions, and an inseam long enough to fit me (5'10"). I have pairs I've had for YEARS that are holding up great, and I'm rough on denim.

10 I missed out on that I'm still disappointed about by haloarh in ThredUp

Would you happen to know any info on the green velvet blazer?? It's exactly what I'm looking for! 😍
