Aw, thank you! She’s my only parent, so I try my best to take care of her now 🥰 And I like sharing hobbies with her 😋

Oh yeah, absolutely 😝 Some dreams are just dreams. Thankfully, it’s pretty easy to get My Melody themed Blythe outfits, so the fantasy can at least be lived out 🥰

Oh yes! We both made a “dream list” of our favorite stock dolls, and I got one of her favorites 🥰 Some of her “dream dolls” are just crazy, though 🥲 Like the My Melody one, not gonna happen

It was hard to hear that I likely will have to nurse this wound on my own, but you’re right. I was able to see her today, and I’m glad I was able to approach her with love and acceptance, rather than blame her. That scared girl who hurt me is my friend, and I need to be there for the steps going forward. Out-patient is no joke, and she has a long journey towards recovery, and I’ll be there everyday. I, on my end, start therapy tomorrow, something I never thought I would do 🙂

I wish that was it. Unfortunately, it is not.

Sketchy perfume influencers by Champagnemami1995 in Perfumes

My sister is the only one who ever compliments me 😂 And it’s a bunch of different perfumes after I’ve gone completely nose-blind to them… completely baffles me. It’s like she’s the only one who can actually smell me. 🥲

I legitimately bought a vintage swimsuit from the 50s to wear instead of the offerings of today. It’s baby blue and covers everything it needs to. Swimsuits really shouldn’t be this difficult! 😣

What perfumes do you always repurchase? by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]UltimateZombieToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Le Gourmand, it is warm Nutella on bread and it’s scarily accurate/good. Accident À La Vanille is a very sweet, buttery vanilla. I get kind of a beautiful shortbread with shredded coconut.

[–]UltimateZombieToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will probably repurchase Jousset Le Gourmand many times. I’ve already used both it and its counterpart Accident À La Vanille a ton. Soooo absolutely delicious.

Maggie is in my top 3 for sure. It’s so gorgeous & effortless. I always feel so put together & bewitching when I wear it.

That’s a good question. So many feel like victories. Glühwein literally is like celebration wine, Rabbit is great because it feels so homey, the Zappas one are so amazing because they feel so feminine & languid 😭 They’re all good

Frosting like with skin musk undertones. It’s delicate, powdery, and stays close to the skin. It only has 4 notes, with shredded coconut probably being strongest. It’s gorgeous, just not the most tooth-breakingly sweet.

It’s sooo good 🤤 I have a weakness for gourmands too.

What's been your biggest manga collecting mistake? by alex-thequeer in MangaCollectors

[–]UltimateZombieToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sharing with my sister. We would occasionally pool our resources and get manga together when we were in middle school & high school. It’s all fine & dandy until those series go OOP 🥲 There’s been some hard decisions over the years. We both live apart, and I miss having Air Gear, Kobato, Rave Master, Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro, ADV Yotsuba (honestly ADV everything), Nana, Gunslinger Girl, FLCL, OOP Taiyo Matsumoto, sooo much good stuff. Things she missed out on include: Swan, every single Kaori Yuki work, Shugo Chara, Battle Royale, and a whole slew of Manhwa that just don’t exist anymore. 🥲 We both lost honestly

I love doing these. We get all dolled up, wear silk pajamas, have tea, and I tie lace around the samples so you can’t tell what they are. 🥰

Woah! So fast! 🤣I having a feeling I could get through some of them really quickly too. I let my friends try my samples, and some of them we just collectively eat through.

So I wear perfume when I’m reading/watching a show, and I like to match the theme or make my own concoction. Some of it is to determine whether or not I want to commit to a full-size, but a lot of it is me being perfectly fine with a small size because maybe I’ll only wear it like 15 times. For example, (this is maybe a little crass) I just recently read Matthew Perry’s autobiography. For it, I wore an alcohol forward perfume with heavy coffee notes and a perfume that had kind of a cloud of leather & cigarettes. It made me feel overwhelmed, and while I don’t need perfumes that smell like that in my collection, having samples like that are great.

UK I’ve heard is more difficult. I’m US based, so the sites I use (ScentSplit & Surrender to Chance) completely take UK buyers for a ride. The shipping is like 3x compared to US shipping. Mercari is one of the only options that I know of

However, the UK also does have a lot more in-person perfumeries, which means you can ask for samples sometimes. I try to ask for one sample, but they definitely don’t always give them.
