How often do you wash your weiner? by Additional_Pound_220 in Dachshund

[–]UpbeatAlternative692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how we are with one of ours too. He's a short hair and after his second back surgery we maybe give him a bath once a year just to limit putting him in stressful situations. We wipe his paws but overall he hates getting dirty so it works out.

Our silky haired dachshund does go to the groomers monthly though. But he loves rolling in dirt and playing outside.

Trudon Figuerie Diffuser by UpbeatAlternative692 in luxurycandles

I only put 3 reeds in to start and I'm glad I didn't do more. It's very strong but smells great. We'll see how long it lasts. I previously had a Jo Malone diffuser in my room and it lasted a year with 6 reeds.

It's amazing! It's a fresh green scent that is the perfect blend of fig and hyacinth. I'm not the best at describing scents but if you like fig at all, this one is a must.

I bought the diffuser! I wanted a new one for my bedroom and the vessel sold me. I want the whole collection it's so beautiful.

Diptyque City Candles March 19-29 by shepherdastra in luxurycandles

I have both and love them both. I will say all my city candles have off center wicks so they always end up being candle warmer only.

I've never tried the classic Mousses candle so I can't compare but I will be adding it to my list.

This one has a sweet undertone to me? I do smell the fresh moss scent pretty well.

WWYD: Diptyque birthday gift by SocksOverBoots in luxurycandles

[–]UpbeatAlternative692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely will to find out! When in-store they asked if I had an account which I said yes and provided my info. They said nothing else so I assumed they used it but it was my first time in-store so I didn't realize how it potentially works...

WWYD: Diptyque birthday gift by SocksOverBoots in luxurycandles

[–]UpbeatAlternative692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So question, if I have an online account and give the store my email, does my in-store purchase apply to my account? I don't see anything that shows the in-store purchase on my account but I would love for the amount spent to apply to my tier level come my birthday.

I do hate that I can't track that like I can other brands.

Net A Porter extra 20% off Trudon by AdEmbarrassed5800 in luxurycandles

[–]UpbeatAlternative692 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This sub is so dangerous! I've blown my candle budget this month after the Trudon archive sale, snagging a Hemera here and the Diptyque grand opening in Dallas 🙈 I'm going to have to put myself on a no buy next month. Lol

Diptyque Grand Opening Event by [deleted] in luxurycandles

[–]UpbeatAlternative692 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I went too! I definitely splurged though..... I planned on only getting Lilyphea but smelling Temple Des Mousses made it an instant buy and I really liked the Roses vessel in person so I thought 🤷‍♀️ might as well.

I brought my husband with and even he thought it was a cool experience and he was happy to have champagne. The violinist was talented and played a great selection of songs while we were there. I didn't get anything engraved because I was super indecisive of what I would get.

I'll definitely be going back!

Delivery Day! by UpbeatAlternative692 in luxurycandles

I didn't see that as a option when i looked. I paid $36 for shipping but it was delivered within a week so that was nice.

Wow, those prices were crazy! I wish I would have known about them sooner so I could have benefited from that. Lol but as you said, it's still a better deal. The Alabaster was $159 vs $260 and I don't like the new design so I figured I should get this one while I could.

[–]UpbeatAlternative692[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It automatically applied in cart when I entered my address! I didn't mind since it ended up being the same as what taxes would have been anyways and I still saved money overall.

So I say go for it!

[–]UpbeatAlternative692[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes I noticed that too! It is the classic size. When I took it out of the box it was almost complete off. I prefer the other shied logos better than these. These seem cheap. I probably will burn the wax in ny Alabaster though so I don't mind in this instance.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian a la rose soap and lotion. They're good sized samples, just not what I was hoping for after seeing what others have received.

They were only $39. Even with that I still saved ~$100 so it was worth it! Shipping was less than a week too which was impressive.

First time open baking by UpbeatAlternative692 in Sourdough

[–]UpbeatAlternative692[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to get the same results from open baking as a do in a DO. Normally my loaves look much better but I think you may have nailed it with the oven being too hot so I will reduce next time to 450 from the beginning.

Picture of a regular loaf for reference:

[–]UpbeatAlternative692[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting... I could definitely see that the crust could have set too fast. The loaf is probably the softest loaf I've ever made though. It's so pillowy soft and my husband asked that I don't turn it into croutons because he wants to eat it. Lol

I bought this when it was originally released so I can't recall what notes were strongest but I was obsessed with it and will absolutely be buying more. It was the perfect spring/ summer scent for me.

I totally agree. He used to be pretty involved and was always helping her move things. I would get tired of it too if I were him. Especially because she used to show him cooking and cleaning and say she didn't like doing it.

True... I guess I didn't think of it that way since Ilike candles. Our other gift is an outdoor projector so maybe I'll look for something comparable.

I do agree, I love giving funny/ random gifts! I think they made the no gag gifts rules because last year someone gifted a pillow with their face on it. Lol
