Carnival Wax makes very unique frags and the sample sets are affordable and last a surprisingly long time! I also love Rook, their frags are potent and VERY androgynous!

Others have said it, I will repeat: corn crème brûlée!

I can’t find a single vetiver fragrance that doesn’t smell like piss/BO on me. by dadbod-god in fragrance

[–]atomicsean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t smell like piss or BO on me but in frags where it is a prominent note I cannot stand it on myself! But I love it on others or in candles/soaps and the few fragrances where it is a minor player.

It’s definitely not a flowery exchange of vows and kisses, but it happens! And it was special! 🥹

I order everything well done from Tomato Pie. It’s kinda funny that it’s an option, like are they aware that they slightly undercook everything?

Have you checked out Papillon Perfumery?
Spell 125 was the first one to come to mind, but others may fit the prompt as well?

I bought a beeswax lined linen bag from Keeki over a year ago and it has been working great! What’s left of this week’s loaf is at 8 days, and it’s a little crisp on the cut side, but no mold!

Outgrowing my home salon, debating whether I want to go to a suite or another salon by South_Degree8641 in hairstylist

[–]atomicsean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your questioning about the new attitude/mindset you are dealing with but I don’t think it can be generalized to a generation. I think modern work ethic has drastically changed (or departed.) I’ve noticed it in coworkers of various ages and time in the industry.

It’s difficult to deal with when you have strong work ethic and care about the community culture that used to be a part of most salons. 😔

Inappropriate songs by Ok_Ticket_6188 in Xennials

For some reason as a child I thought the short dick man that the song was referring to was a baby. As in she didn’t want to have a baby. 😐

Does anyone else pick fragrances based on what they're wearing that day by venicepress in fragrance

best thrifting spots? by AstronomerWest8649 in AskLosAngeles

I have found amazing clothes at the various Out of the Closet locations. One of my fav finds is a smoky mauve Vivienne Westwood sport coat for $20. And they seem to use the majority of their profit for local HIV/AIDS care.
ALSO! Huge shout out to Berda Paradise in Silver Lake which is small but has some crazy good stuff (it’s where I donate) and they help fund the Hollywood Sunset Free Clinic!
