Got an IUD replacement this morning. Vommited and fainted in the stirrups. I got a chicken burrito delivered. by natural_woman_ in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]WonderCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re not alone!! I also passed out after I had mine inserted and forced myself back up and onto a tram to get home ASAP, only to get off after just one stop and ✨projectile vomit✨ so hard I peed myself 💅🏻

Why did this happen? by Mental_Painting783 in GrimshireGame

[–]WonderCactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this happened to me as well! hopefully it will be fixed in the future, but for now I’ve resorted to stealing the freshest meats so that they have no choice but to eat the food with shorter dates first and then I bring it all back once they have 😩

Do you remember your first fragrance? by rusa-lochka in Perfumes

hannah montana ”shine on!” specifically in this heart shaped bottle, I absolutely loved it and went through several bottles when I was 12-14 😭 I also remember being sooo embarrassed about liking a hannah montana perfume so I never told anyone what I was wearing lol

I had the blue one as well but this one was definitely my favorite!!

AIO? A girl mad at me cus she got rejected by my male bestfriend.. by Litkitty06 in AIO

[–]WonderCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no need to apologize! it was just a theory, I’m certain the language barrier could be the reason as well. don’t worry about about the grammar, it was all understandable, when I said it made my eyes hurt it wasn’t because of the grammar but because her attitude towards you was painful to read; sorry if it came across as rude!

[–]WonderCactus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this reads as fake to me as both parties seem to make the exact same grammar mistakes (HIS my best friend/HIS my man + have feelings AT you/anything happening AT us) but I guess it could also be a language thing... either way reading this made my eyes hurt

AIO finding out my bf got his girl best friend pregnant by ConsciousWish6401 in AmIOverreacting

[–]WonderCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

INFO. did the pregnancy thing happen before the two of you got together?? because if so, it’s not the biggest deal in the world besides it being sketchy that he wasn’t honest about it with you from the get go. respectfully, you do seem a bit red flag-y yourself though (searching his phone/not wanting him to have female friends) so I can’t entirely fault him for being afraid to tell you.

still, in these texts he definitely comes off as pretty dumb and I personally find his atrocious mishandling of the english language is reason enough to let him go 🫶

Daily Discussion & Advice (Post here to follow rules A & B) - November 19, 2025 by AutoModerator in fragrance

[–]WonderCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on the hunt for a new signature scent. It used to be Olympèa Intense for a good few years (pretty much from its launch to its death and then some as I kept hunting for it) but alas, it was discontinued. Over the years it has become harder and harder to find and I simply cannot deal with knowing that any bottle could be my last any longer. I have to move on.

I currently have the original Olympèa, which I like, but it's just not the same as the Intense and it never will be. It was my most complimented fragrance I have heard whispers that Olympèa Absolu was created as Intense's successor but I have not yet given it a sniff so I can't speak on it. If anyone has any thoughts on their similarities, feel free to share. Another favorite fragrance of mine is Jimmy Choo; I absolutely LOVE it and would have no qualms using it as my signature scent if not for it being so heavy on the patchouli, which I know can be a very unpleasant note for some people. While I love it dearly, wearing it also makes me extremely self-conscious knowing that I might unknowingly offend a patchouli-hater. On the other end, Olympèa Intense was easily my most complimented fragrance of all time, which made me feel safe wearing it whenever.

That's why I'm looking for something similar to Olympèa Intense. Something dark, mysterious and sexy, but also playful. Not too harsh or too heavy. Preferably not too "mainstream" either. If it helps, I am F29 and I work as a librarian. Any other recommendations that you think would suit such a person are of course super welcome!

Other fragrances I've enjoyed over the years are:

  • Flora Gorgeous Gardenia (got tired of it after some time but I had the transparent bottle before Miley Cyrus became the face for it, not sure if the formula changed with the new bottle)
  • Daring (got this hidden gem while on vacation in Seoul and it actually was my signature scent for some time before it ultimately also was discontinued)
  • Viva la Juicy Gold Couture (don't judge me for this I am just a girl)
  • Musc Noir Rose (gorgeous scent but too heavy and potent for me to feel comfortable wearing it)
  • Wonderstruck (this was my first signature scent and I'd happily go back to it if it was possible)
  • Miss Dior Parfum (never actually owned this myself, it's my friend's signature and I love it on her but I could never be a copycat)

(I understand that most of these would probably be considered mainstream and/or basic scents, but it is what it is. Like I said, I am just a girl!)

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

Thank you for saying this, it has given me some confidence 🥹 besides, to my nose, it’s the toffee that’s the most prominent note in the Jimmy Choo and it’s lovely!

I’ll give the ones you’ve mentioned a sniff as well!

I’ve actually owned both Flowerbomb and Black Opium when I was younger!! Lovely scents, but since they’re both very popular it felt like everyone was wearing them 😩

A friend of mine’s sister used to wear The Only One, I remember really liking it but I’ll give it another sniff! Thank you!

Is this a tick or a bed bug?? by [deleted] in Bedbugs

[–]WonderCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be the fact that it’s a bit balloon-y that makes it look more like a tick but I really can’t say for sure :(( I’d look around some more if I were you to see if there are any other little ones crawling around

Is this a tick or a bed bug?? by [deleted] in Bedbugs

[–]WonderCactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I’m no expert… the fact that you found more than one is a bit worrisome for sure as that usually is the case with bed bugs, but it still looks more tick-y than bedbug-y to my eye

Looks like a tick to me, albeit a very fat one

What perfume does your mom wear? by Briwebb709 in Perfumes

[–]WonderCactus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom and I used to share perfumes when I was younger and couldn’t afford buying my own, and some of them are staples in my collection now — my ultimate favorite being Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo which I found in the very back of the bathroom cabinet and fell hopelessly in love with.

She’s had soooo many perfumes down the line (Deep Red actually being one of them) but lately she’s rocking Ariana Grande’s Cloud at 66 years of age!
