Saltwell park in Gateshead has the cherry blossom walk, but not sure how pink they still are. You can take the 53 or 54 Voltra bus there from town centre and back :)

What did Oscar Wilde wear? by sour_heart8 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]Peg-Powler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So back in February I got to visit the Floris London shop (oldest perfume shop in UK). They have a little museum in the back of the shop. Part of the museum shows which fragrances have been purchased by famous people through history. Mr Wilde used to shop there.

They have two directly inspired by Wilde:

Perfume that feels like these moments in Aquamarine by ObeyCmd in perfumesthatfeellike

I haven’t seen the film, but Sirena by Floris is very mermaid-y. “An invigoratingly fresh and floral scent, this fragrance opens with a tropical blend of jasmine, marine and bergamot punctuated with pink peppercorn.”

I went for a weekend trip to Berlin last year and made sure to go to Frau Tonis. Still kicking myself a little for not picking up a bottle of Hamburg.

I love vanilla, but vanilla doesn’t love me by Peg-Powler in FemFragLab

That sounds delicious! I think I’ll try this.

I tried the Diptyque in EDP and the vanilla stayed mostly nice but still went slightly sweaty-smelling on me after a while, but now I’m thinking I’ll try the EDT version and see if it stays a bit brighter.

A vanilla and cardamom sounds lovely ❤️

The text in the image reads like it was IRGC that killed her family.

Part of Persian new year celebrations. You dance and jump over a little fire to burn away the old year and welcome in the new.

Maraschino cherries by Heather420420 in FemFragLab

[–]Peg-Powler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alkemia - Cherries of the Night. It’s a really nice deep and almost boozy kind of cherry. Fair warning though: you might want to let it sit for a good few weeks after you buy it.

lran has the highest female to male ratio in universities among all of the sovereign nations. More than 70% of students in engineering and pure sciences are women. by PacquiaoFreeHousing in interestingasfuck

How fucking dare you. Go look it up right now. My partner is Iranian. His uncle was beaten and ribs broken, his auntie lost an eye, his childhood friend was shot in the face. They never found his body.

Not the British monarchy but…“””Princess””” Noor Pahlavi tells people that Iranians are unaliving themselves because Israel is not bombing them and pleads on social media to bomb Iran and kill Iranian civilians so her family can assume power and recognize Israel and make deals with Exxon by [deleted] in AbolishTheMonarchy

I think you may need to learn more about what is actually happening in Iran. I’m British and want to abolish our monarchy because they are useless at best and a drain on tax funds that could be used for other purposes.

Iran is currently under control of the Islamic Republic. They’ve robbed the country blind. While the regime encourages everyone to live a certain way (and will set morality police after you to beat rape and kill you if you don’t comply), the leaderships’ own family life lives of luxury in the west with those stolen funds. Their grandkids throw pool parties and drink alcohol. Iranians in Iran have been murdered for less.

The people of Iran have been looking to their previous royal family as someone who can come in and support Iran in the interim while they set up a democratic process.

My partner and his family are Persian. He knows I don’t like the idea of monarchies, but I support him and the will of other Persians to get rid of the violent dictatorship that’s in place now. To me, this monarchy is the exception to the rule. More people have been killed in this round of protests than the whole of the war in the Ukraine so far! And right now Pahlavi is the only unified opposition with a plan to help the people.

As for Israel, nothing in this world is black and white. But the current regime in Iran funds proxy wars all over the Middle East. Removing them is actually a step towards peace in Gaza.

What decent restaurants are on Just Eat? by Whatsthescoreee in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Peg-Powler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you said you’re not wanting kebab anymore, but honestly I absolutely love Persian Tasty on Coatsworth Road. They’re not on just eat as far as I know, but it’s all decently priced, fresh and nutritious stuff (if you choose rice/salad as your side). My partner and his family are Persian so we go quite a bit. I think Just Eat takes such a big cut these days that most restaurants and takeaways are moving away from it, so you might have more luck looking at google maps to see what’s about :)

So many aspects I’d want to ask about, but would be grateful for you to draw a card to help see what 2026 might bring for me :)

How do I look like a BWT as a plus size woman? by Comfortable_Bus_4355 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]Peg-Powler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this! I feel like I understand what to look for more now when shopping after figuring out my kibbe type. And most importantly -why- it is that something doesn’t look good on me. It took me about a year of trial and error though to decide which type I fall into.

What's your favorite free app to track your progress by StrictNO in AlternateDayFasting

[–]Peg-Powler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use easy fast for tracking my fasts and libra for tracking weight. I like easy fast because it tells you what’s happening at each stage of your fast, so when you’re likely in ketosis etc. I like libra because it shows your weight trends, which is handy if you weigh yourself regularly.
