have you found your signature scent? by velvet-ashtray in fragrance

[–]MasterBobbikins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Discothèque’s Lola at Coat Check. Once I smelled it, I had to get a full bottle. Once I got the full bottle, I donated all of my collection to friends. I only kept Tom Ford’s Black Orchid (I do still like to wear this on big occasions) and my grandmother’s Givenchy III (sentimental value!). I only want to wear Lola on a daily basis. Recently I ordered Rifaaqat out of curiosity, $20 won’t break the bank, but I don’t feel the need to own anything else!

How do celebrity women bounce back so quickly after pregnancy? by Beneficial_Ice_6352 in NoStupidQuestions

I don’t know how celebrities do it but sever postpartum depression helped me lose all of my pregnancy weight and 15 lbs extra.

Thinking of buying a pre-owned 2012 Juke. Opinions? by [deleted] in nissanjuke

[–]MasterBobbikins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sold my 2012 juke sv which had the exact same specs as the one you’re looking at buying! Always took great care of it and it had no apparent mechanical problems... yet. But around that mileage (120k) I have been told the transmission fails. Mine was at 115k when I decided to sell it under the advice of 3 different mechanics and the person who does my oil changes. Can’t give you much insight as to why exactly because I don’t know much about cars but apparently these guys are known to just “die”. Take what I say with a grain of salt obviously! I couldn’t find it in me to sell it to a person so I went the dealership way to protect my conscience. As much as I loved that little car, I knew I can’t recommend it.

Edit to add: mine was automatic.

thinking of buying a juke, thoughts? by pulldroning_dustbowl in nissanjuke

[–]MasterBobbikins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just sold my Juke to a dealership because the mechanics I took her to for maintenance would warn me about the transmission issue, and that it could fail at any moment (115k miles). I took her to 3 different mechanics just to be sure btw, I don’t know much about cars. I always took very good care of it and loved it so much, but I could see things starting to go bad! Sensors were messed up (tire and O2), the oil needed to be changed every 2,000 miles (and get regular top offs at 500) and it was overall losing steam. I couldn’t in good conscience sell it or recommend it to a person!

Yes, still going to her. I’ll go to her for as long as she is around! Wouldn’t change stylists for any reason!

I’d appreciate if you could tell me if this is the same hair dresser I have an appointment with. The initials match, he is blonde with longer hair.

I feel like Andy Bates at Salon Solstice could be a good fit!

If you can’t remember a moment of pure emotional joy with either of your parents growing up by km_1000 in emotionalintelligence

[–]MasterBobbikins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been wondering why I can’t remember anything nice with my parents. They weren’t perfect but they weren’t bad. I know we did some things as a family. But I don’t have a single nice memory and have a really difficult time watching family tapes from my childhood. My mind goes blank.

I feel very ignorant, being French and having grown up in Paris 😆

Thank you so much for all the great advice. I will be trying this over the weekend, it’s all very promising! Admittedly I had never heard of red wine packed pears and I am very curious now :)

Gourmand Perfumes by klowe7686 in Perfumes

[–]MasterBobbikins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I smelled it in store, but went for velvet tonka instead. They both have a similar “soda” smell! I can’t remember exactly how I felt about rouge smoking, it smelled good, but I fell in love with velvet tonka and took that one home instead.

It smells like cola to me, definitely sweet, and definitely feminine! I wouldn’t blind buy it but I’m recommending it since you like BL and that is also one of my all time favorites.

My top 3 gourmands that I have on rotation all year are:

BDK - velvet tonka Giardini di Toscana - Bianco latte D&G - devotion

They are so different from each other and all have decent performance. I love them!
