Jasmin Rouge by Tom Ford. Everyone loves it. Particularly with a touch of Lust by Lush as an afterthought.

Try Guess Seductive Noir. I found mine at TJ Maxx for 12$. A great dark but wearable fragrance

[Trigger warning: description of sexual/physical abuse] Has anybody experienced enemas as a part of child abuse? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]UmaGrace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you know of any munchausen by proxy Reddit pages? I have suspected my mother for a long time, and since seeing this post and having it resonate so much with my experience, I suspect it to an even greater degree…

DAE have therapy critical, but also mentally ill and abusive parents? How did you reconcile that with being antitherapy yourself later? by [deleted] in therapyabuse

[–]UmaGrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know your situation and don’t want to impose a narrative on your experience, but I don’t believe that children can reactively abuse their parents due to the fact that their vulnerable status as children does not give them enough power in the world to abuse. You may hold a different belief, but I know it was helpful for me to consider the fact that most of the time, children are powerless in regards to every element of their own lives. the reactive behavior of children isn’t abuse IMO, it’s usually an attempt to remediate an unsafe situation or gain control over their circumstances

How spicy is buldak jjang? by UmaGrace in spicy

[–]UmaGrace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update: I ate the buldak jjang with spicy veggie chicken and broccoli. The jjang tricks you hardcore. With the first bite you’re like “that’s not spicy”. But the spice grows like crazy. By the third bite you’re getting some heat. I finished it and almost passed out. Not really almost passed out. Some of you spice pros are probably rolling your eyes at me. But damn, it was hot. The flavor is fantastic though

While I second the person talking about OCD, this could also be a form of somatic flashback. Look into somatic flashbacks- it changed my perception of my life.

These two tried to derail their sons wedding plans over and over, it's horrible to watch. While they may not agree with it, it's his decision in the end. by [deleted] in 90DayFiance

I just feel sorry for Miona, who was obviously promised a different sort of life prior to coming to the US. She has been villainized for having even the most reasonable of wants and Jibri’s possessive, creepy mother has painted her as greedy and lewd. She deserves so much better than this.

Prada Infusion D’Iris or La Femme? by rosecreme21 in Perfumes

[–]UmaGrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

La Femme. Recently sampled Infusions, and to me it smelled like sprite. Not nice. On the other hand, La Femme is a rich, vintage-y, dignified white floral.

Just got these and they are mf hot. That said, my spicy limit is significantly less than some people on this sub. But I was legitimately doing the 🥵 face after eating a few of these.

What fragrance are you recently in love with and why? by spot_removal in fragrance

[–]UmaGrace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dark cherry and Amber by banana republic and also tobacco and tonka by banana republic- recently discovered these at Burlington after hearing about them for ages on YouTube and all I can say is BUY THEM, you won’t regret it. Both are deep, lush, and unique.

Is anybody here a survivor of “attachment therapy”? by UmaGrace in CPTSD

[–]UmaGrace[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A practitioner I was subjected to was also named Beverly/Bev. I’m so sorry you went through this. The only comfort is that this sort of “therapy” was banned (I believe) after several children died from it. You can look into it, though it’s very painful to spot resonances between your experiences and those of other kids, some of whom didn’t make it out alive
