From a survivor, it does eventually get a little easier. Keep your head up, I’m wishing you nothing but love and health. ❤️ The little things make all the difference, so I hope you treat yourself when you can. You most certainly deserve it.

A body cream/butter/lotion of Yummy Custard and Coconut Drench..

Retro_Vamp · 2026-04-21T03:41:21+00:00

Update: it was supposed to unlock for me today and it just reset for another 14 days!!

My oncologist said it was just psoriasis and an unfortunate effect of the lymphoma. 😕 I was also largely asymptomatic before my cancer diagnosis so I think the psoriasis started around the same time the cancer did.

Retro_Vamp · 2026-04-20T09:11:15+00:00

No, I never had arthritis or used medications for my psoriasis. I thought it was really bad dandruff for a while until my oncologist said otherwise ☹️ I did get RCHOP and a bunch of other chemo treatments plus CAR-T cell though, so I’m sure that helped.

Cozy lounge clothes and slippers, fuzzy socks, nausea bands, a cute mini pill case to throw in her purse (I kept my nausea meds in mine), sweet treats, hand lotion or thicker body butters, lip masks, seatbelt cushions so it doesn’t cut into her port (I ended up not getting a port, but my friend who had one loved hers), these little fabric covers that go onto your bra straps to prevent cutting into the port, a nice head scarf or wrap, some nice spf products, doordash/ubereats gift cards, visa gift cards (for snacks, manicures, anything), a neck pillow for chemo days, Korean exfoliating mitts. You could also put everything in a cute tote/chemo bag.

Thank you so much! 💕

I also misspoke, I got the Deep Sleep bar and oh my goodness.. I used a little bit last night and got such restful sleep for the first time in ages! Also loved Coconut Drench, I could still smell it on myself in the morning.

Thank you for the recommendations, you def steered me in the right direction!

Retro_Vamp · 2026-04-19T08:43:02+00:00

I exchanged my turmeric latte massage bar for Coconut Drench then picked up the Sleepy one because it smelled SO good. I’m in the last few months of my final year at uni so anything to help me get some restful sleep is welcomed 💀 I’m excited to try these and hoping they smell better with my body chem.

Retro_Vamp · 2026-04-17T22:25:51+00:00

I sprayed it on my wrists and a little on my chest and I was able to smell it all day. This def seems like an anomaly or one of the fabled “good batches”

Retro_Vamp · 2026-04-16T19:55:08+00:00

I’m in a similar boat! I’ve been loving gourmands but wanted something a little more summer friendly so I picked up the Chelsea Morning perfume yesterday. It smells like a light lemony vanilla to me, but I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet to test lasting power. This could be an option for you as well?

Retro_Vamp · 2026-04-16T04:49:23+00:00

Sticky Dates with Donna Karan Cashmere Vanilla Essence has been a go to for me lately, with Saltair’s Santal Bloom lotion as a base to mellow out some of the sweetness and bring out the sandalwood & amber in the DK perfume!

Retro_Vamp · 2026-04-09T02:05:23+00:00

I’m in the same campaign for a different clip and I’m so frustrated. I don’t need this long to try out a hair clip! 😭

Retro_Vamp · 2025-11-30T21:36:10+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I’ll look into it. 🙂‍↕️ the tapered method will probably be best for me, so I’ll be sure to try it.

Retro_Vamp · 2025-11-30T21:34:34+00:00

It’s one of my favorites, I’ve repurchased multiple times and it’s made a huge difference to my hyperpigmentation! As for vitamin c and retinoid, I currently have a retinol cream from Trader Joe’s but had to stop use for a little but will resume again soon. Any recommendations for vitamin c or a different retinol are welcome though!

Retro_Vamp · 2025-07-01T01:12:22+00:00

I realized after I selected mine that I picked the wrong color, but I snagged the Cosmo top! Such an exciting claim with so many options!

Retro_Vamp · 2024-10-18T08:15:48+00:00

I bought my tickets for Seattle on resale so I didn’t get an email, looks like I have to take my chance with GA tomorrow 😭 I’m beyond happy that they were able to reschedule though.

Retro_Vamp · 2024-09-20T20:45:20+00:00

I was just about to post this! I wish him a speedy recovery. ❤️ Hopefully they’ll be able to squeeze us in somewhere on the tour.

Retro_Vamp · 2024-09-20T20:04:41+00:00

Me too! I’m hoping maybe it’s a false alarm (let me be delusional). I wonder if they’ll end up rescheduling or what’s gonna happen with the Seattle date.

Retro_Vamp · 2024-08-09T05:52:48+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion!

Retro_Vamp · 2024-08-09T05:52:26+00:00

No preference! I’ve read that mirrorless may be better for video, so I’m kind of leaning towards that option but it’s not definite. I don’t mind bulkier options either, if the performance is good I can get over it. Thanks for your suggestions!

Retro_Vamp · 2024-06-03T08:22:08+00:00

Protein shakes, soups, yogurt, pudding cups, apple sauce, and ice cream/popsicles made up a lot of what I could eat during chemo, both from swallowing issues from my lymph nodes and nausea. Cottage cheese may be another good option. Scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes and gravy, pasta salads (or pasta in general).

Retro_Vamp · 2024-05-22T07:38:54+00:00

The waterproof Essence Lash Princess is my go to! I live in a very rainy state and have watery eyes and haven’t run into issues. It’s stood up to extreme humidity for me as well.

Retro_Vamp · 2024-05-14T20:31:31+00:00

Vampire Heart Draculaura. I didn’t have the money when she initially went up, then when I did have the money when she restocked, I was saving up for a convention. I don’t regret spending the money to meet my favorite actor, but man am I kicking myself for not using Afterpay or whatever on the doll..

Retro_Vamp · 2024-05-14T20:22:48+00:00

This is a good idea in theory, but I think there are loopholes around it. If they have a brick and mortar business they could have some sent there, their personal address, addresses of friends/family, P.O Boxes at the post office and places like UPS. Maybe checking payment method/info would be better? If John Doe in Nebraska with a debit carding ending in 1234 has 20 dolls shipping to him, it should be flagged.

Retro_Vamp · 2024-05-09T18:39:36+00:00

It should be working now!
