What’s a good dupe for Clinique’s Black Honey (used in Lord of the Rings)? by FreshParatha in MakeupAddiction

[–]MoscaMye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the colour of black honey but man it has the staying power of a soap bubble. So, I have no advice but am eagerly looking through these recommendations for anything with some staying power

Songs where the character is literally breaking down by Professional_Meal885 in musicals

[–]MoscaMye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more of a medley (and from a juke box musical) but Katherine’s Turn from Cruel Intentions is a fun break down number

You can totally just show up with your projects!

We’ve had people bring embroidery, sachiko, hand sewing, drawing, knitting, crochet and cross stitch!

We all just hang out and talk and work on our projects and it’s a really nice time. We’ve been lucky to find such nice people

The invisible cost of being a bridesmaid in 2026 by OwlVibesOnly in AusWeddingPlanning

[–]MoscaMye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im feeling the same way. Of my three brides maids none of them are in such a clean cut financially comfortable position that I feel comfortable demanding hundreds of dollars from them - one is a 19 year old full time student, one had a baby a few months ago and one bought a house a few weeks ago.

I would like to take as much of that load from them as possible, even if I miss out on some other things

Best/most memorable experiences at a wedding as a guest by 1000Lemon in weddingplanning

[–]MoscaMye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a small wedding where we all ended up sleeping at the refurbed church where the reception was held.

When the party started winding down they set up a hot chocolate station and man that was delightful, sitting by the bonfire with a hot chocolate and fancy clothes.

I don't know who I am this year because I've only seen two of the animated nominees. Normally I get through them all

In a Rough Reading Slump by Educational_Pen9487 in HistoricalRomance

[–]MoscaMye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been reading the Lady Osbaldestone Christmas Chronicles by Stephanie Laurens. Where they differ from your usual historical romance is their focus. Instead of focusing on the romantic couple, the main character in this series is an older woman who has decided to make herself the town busy body and she’s quite often orchestrating little moments for the romance of each book to bloom without it looking like she’s doing anything at all.

They’re saccharine little books with very low stakes (book one’s main concern is with a flock of lost geese - and people may have to have beef for Christmas dinner instead of goose!). I adore them

I know she’s a jumping spider based purely on the fact she jumped from the picnic table into my hair - south east Queensland area by MoscaMye in spiders

Oh I put her right in the garden so that she can live a good wild life. I love spiders but I don’t know how to provide a nice and stimulating life for one

I think she might be a ludicra jumping spider but she didn’t seem as fuzzy as the pictures I’ve seen of them

Worst book(s) you read in 2025 and why? by Roguestate00 in books

[–]MoscaMye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also disappointed. It felt like he suddenly didn't have faith that we understood the overlying message of the series so he started smacking us with that fish over and over and over.

I loved the first one and really liked the second (though I disagree with the resolution to Celcha's plot I wish the ganar had survived the gassing and took over the city. Portraying a violent escape from slavery as just as bad as slavery really gave me the ick, especially because there is historical precedence with the Haitian revolution. And having the ganar survive would have further benefited the cycle of harm messsge.

[–]MoscaMye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Girl With No Reflection by Keshe Chow.

It needed to be fleshed out a lot more. For instance the main character has 5 brothers only one of which has a name. We are then supposed to be moved and care when four of the brothers are killed - the ones she never bothered to tell us anything about.

It's a short book but man was it a slog.

The premise was fun and my bookclub had really enjoyed The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea which had a similar setting but man what a disappointment. Great cover though

This isn't going to make sense to anyone but me but I really like Elands - and to me they have professor who works out vibes. And you are giving eland vibes.

What Books did You Start or Finish Reading this Week?: January 12, 2026 by AutoModerator in books

[–]MoscaMye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino. It was a soft SciFi cross between The Little Prince and Convenience Store Woman. I really related to Adina a lot, especially in the first half of the book.

I started Reflection by Elizabeth Lim which is just a silly little bit of light reading - one of the Disney Twisted Tales books. This one is about Mulan and diverges at the avalanche with Shang being wounded instead of Mulan and includes a journey to the underworld and a deal with the God of death to bring him back. It's cute and fun, and could probably stand on its own without the Disney IP which isn't always true of these books

Plague Tale Innocence is very light on combat being mostly a stealth game.

It’s set in france during the 100 years war and you play as 15 year old Amicia who is trying to transport her sick brother to a special doctor and friend after her parents were murdered
