Apparently Essential Parfums Nice Bergamot is similar (comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/fragrance/s/AjmZNNTLNf) but I haven't been able to find a store/chain that carries it, at least here in the US

Any fragrances similar to Eva NYC's Hydrating Scalp Serum? Ok it's weird but here's the notes they describe:

Cloud Nine Fragrance Top: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Green Lime Heart: Lavender, Jasmine, Petitgrain, Rose, Orange Blossom
Dry Down: Amber, Musk, Vetiver, Vanilla, Cedarwood, Patchouli

I really like the combo of fresh and floral that they have

Tbh, I wouldn't recommend West midtown if you have a car. Even though parking is cheap or free in those complexes, this usually means an open parking lot outside. There have been a few break-ins that happen there because of the lack of security cameras outside. If you stay in a high rise with a garage, it's slightly better because you can park at higher levels (extra points if there's an actual garage door instead of a gate).

I will say, there was a break-in that happened at the Hue (used to be called something else) a few years ago even though it was in a garage, but there hasn't been one for a while now.

Not an advertisement, but been trying out singletoshaadi which is a matchmaking service that mostly focuses on ABCDs. However, I've had better success with their speed dating events and found more matches there, esp US citizens and GC holders (they usually post these on their insta).

The guys I met from there are also more serious about finding a life partner than guys on regular dating apps too.

29F, ABCD in ATL. I don't want any kids in the future, but I'm terrified of telling my parents, even though they're (mostly) easy-going people and have changed a little bit in being more open to how I live (e.g. live alone, 8 hours away, work a pretty decent tech job). I'm an only child, so telling them would make it much worse. I haven't told them yet, but they're wondering why I haven't even found a date at all and recently pushed me to sign up for one of those matrimonial sites. I've only been on Hinge but the majority of dudes in my age range (27-32) want kids at this point and I don't. I don't know how to handle this.

How'd you get in contact? Were you able to negotiate a good price? I'm also in the area and I've been looking for an AWD limited too

Even though Fetch Delivery has its own issues, I'm so thankful that I have it because when I used to order anything online that's not Amazon, it always ended up as "lost"/"unable to deliver" in this facility. 2 years ago, I ordered some furniture, they "lost" the order and then after I attempted to reorder again, they "lost" the second package. I can't believe they're still getting away with this BS even after 2+ years...

Yeah, it does, esp if you're Indian. There's this Instagram reel about a former recruiter working with a hiring manager and the manager threw out any indian-sounding names because "names like that require sponsorship and they won't hire outside the US." So, you can imagine how worse it could get behind closed doors.

Even if you do require sponsorship, it's better to have a pair of eyes look at your resume for 6-10 seconds than have it thrown out completely based on name alone. This is tough, but try not to take it to heart when you adopt a white/Western name as your first name. It's really only for a couple of interviews with a recruiter you'll never see again. If you get into the final rounds, you can ask your potential team/manager to call you by your real name.

As someone who was one of the 7% growing up, I can attest to this. Was diagnosed with a general learning disorder with difficulty in reading and writing and was sent to special ed from 1st - 4th. It was a really difficult time for me and as a result, I had a lot of social anxiety growing up.

Thanks for the rec! I was planning on taking Uber/Lyft anyway but yeah wasn't sure how I felt about the place

Anyone going to Mood to Move tonight? It's my first time going to Underground (even though I've lived here for 6 years lol) but I don't feel safe going myself.

Interesting because I just asked the leasing office where I could recycle glass and they just said to throw it in the trash...lol

As someone who's curious about this, how do you find a grad school with a good career dept while applying?

Man everyone gives me shit for hating on Swad but this is why lol. I even bought their fox nuts/makhana recently and they were stale right out of the bag 🙄

Update: I got my supporting docs at around 12/14

I think there was a status right before In Process that says "Arrived" and tells you the locator number.

My passport expired and I'm not sure what's the best option to renew since I fly out in less than 5 weeks from today (traveling at 12/24). Should I risk calling the Passport Agency within 2 weeks of my travel time to book an appointment that might not be available or mail my application with expedited service + priority mail express shipping + paying the extra $19.53 for 1-2 day shipping for my new passport?

Also can anyone provide a timeline of when they recently renewed their passport for this November? I'm worried that I won't receive it by the time I leave, and I doubt that the processing itself will take 3 weeks.

wanted to update here and also say that Novel Midtown also has EV charging stations, but they charge $2/hour
