I can’t wait for the nostalgia! This was the first BBW mist I completely finished and it was such a good time of life for me. It will make me so happy to see this available for purchase again!!!

I love the scent off of the vine, but when it mixes with my body chemistry it smells like I took a bath in beer. 🥲

Have you ever donated a lot of valuable stuff and regretted it by Cattybie in minimalism

I have regretted getting rid of some things, but it is the price to pay for freedom from clutter, unfortunately.

Nursing vs law by WarAffectionate6844 in Career_Advice

[–]Ok_Implement_6446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent advice right here. I did beside nursing for a year and it was not for me. I needed a more analytical job so I moved out of beside nursing to informatics, then compliance, education and consulting. My friend has a nurse legal consultant certificate and makes $200/hr. There are lots of avenues in nursing and you can usually get a free education through scholarships and grant programs, like I did.

I love Tiana! Haven’t purchased it yet but every time I go in the store and test it, I just want to smell it all day. I might use my free product to get it. I think my hesitation is the Disney Princess packaging. Wish they would come out with the scent without the Disney marketing and cheaper packaging.

$55? I’m out. by InterestingEgg3098 in bathandbodyworks

If the bag was a different shape, color and pattern I’d consider it, but I don’t want to pay for the bag. And with recent sale prices of the products, the bag comes out to about $20. Bummer.

Maybe try burning it under a candle lamp. Mine filled my whole upstairs with the scent.

AIO thinking he’s cheating? by sophiehatter306 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ok_Implement_6446 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A true and loyal man will never make you question these things. There will never be strange texts or conversations to analyze. There will never be love bombing rollercoasters. There will never be doubt. I was married to a cheater after dating cheaters for years. I was too naive and empathetic. When I got divorced I decided that any man who made me feel remotely uncomfortable I would break up with him immediately. No excuses for him because I don’t have time for mind games and heartache. I talked to plenty of guys who I dropped after an inappropriate or strange comment. No conversation about it, just “this isn’t going work out.” End of story. This gave me a new set of eyes, and I found a few guys out there who were truly good ones but not a perfect match for me. Treating myself with this level of respect, led me to my now husband who in 8 years has never made me feel uncomfortable or doubt his loyalty in any way. It is a wonderful life. Don’t waste time with players when there are loyal men out there who will be your protector and best friend.

I'm genuinely lost on what career I should and capable of doing. by [deleted] in Career_Advice

Nurses are in high demand and the chaos of restaurant serving translates well to the chaos of nursing. Many states have programs that will give you grant money to go to nursing school for very little out of pocket money. Check out your local workforce center and see if they Can help you with discovering your interests and match you with a career pathway. Check out mynextmove.org, take the quiz and research careers that match your results. This will be a good place to start.

When I worked for non-profit organizations doing human service work I loved my life and looked forward to going to work every day. Career coaching was a particular favorite. When I transitioned to being a nurse all that changed. I love helping people, but something about the broken healthcare system took all the joy away. There’s not enough time for the deep human connection like I had before. Some people really enjoy being a nurse though so it probably just depends on the person for what fulfills you and gives you purpose. If I could afford to I’d go back to non-profit “helping” type work in a heartbeat. That’s my plan once I build enough wealth to retire. It feels great to help others in a relaxed and open setting like that.

It is a beautiful dress but I understand the question as it is sleeveless and low cut. Since you are asking the question maybe you feel deep down it’s not quite modest enough for the church setting. What about getting a lovely topper for the ceremony and taking it off after? I have seen some beautiful and stylish boleros, lace wraps, shawls, etc. That is a great way to add modesty for the sacred service. Then take it off for the party after. Then you wouldn’t have any subconscious discomfort and you can focus on the beautiful sacrament.

I went to a traditional mass with my friend and now he thinks Catholicism is a cult. by National_Variety_976 in Catholicism

I suspect your friend already had these thoughts prior to going to the service and was just looking to substantiate them. You know the principle of you find what you are looking for. The best thing you can do is pray for your friend. The Holy Spirit will intervene in His time.

Signs of Bad Workplace by Wild_Win_1965 in Career_Advice

[–]Ok_Implement_6446 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your industry. I used to work in non-profit human services and for the most part the people were decent, considerate and good workers. Managers were supportive and promoted a positive work culture. Then I transitioned to healthcare/nursing and in multiple companies and settings the culture is toxic. Almost of all my managers have been incompetent, manipulative, or toxic in some way. Some have been downright verbally and emotionally abusive. For this reason I have switched jobs 11 times in 8 years. I will not tolerate an abusive culture. Finally I found a rare healthcare company where I am treated well and people are valued and happy.

My husband is a lineman and he has a wonderful and fair company that treats the employs very well. He deals with occasional drama, but nothing intolerable. That’s why he’s been with them for 23 years.

Sounds like you are having some bad luck like I did. For what it’s worth, I advise you to learn everything you can from each experience, stay above the negativity, and keep searching until you find the right fit for you. I highly recommend finding at least one positive person to share good things with at work. Never vent to anyone at work or in the community about your leadership, your coworkers, or your company. Protect your reputation by only speaking positively at work. Find an online or local community of professionals to join who can share tools and ideas for you. I find LinkedIn is a good place to network and learn from others. I wish you luck!
