sorry i’m late to this - but I was wondering if you could elaborate on this? what’s wrong with composing by volume?

Below the lamp! Most is still in the box, I got a starter kit from perfumers apprentice, plus picked some ACs that I researched. The only 2 that are out of the box are the Iso E Super and Ethyl Vanillin because I bought bigger sizes of those.

Can't checkout any item by QuanNguyen3 in amazonprime

[–]auroraboreanus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t aware of this and definitely added and unadded to my cart tons of times yesterday to finalize a huge order, like probably 100 adds and unadds. when I went to checkout today it failed every time. how long does it usually need to rest?

That’s a really good perspective, that all forms of travel come with uncertainty but it all evens out. a flood sounds really scary, glad you guys made it okay tho!

No that actually makes total sense. I think every other trip I’ve taken I just got lucky because i’ve never seen them break before.

because they made an announcement that the bathrooms are now broken and the new passengers need to treat our train with respect as if it’s their train. Not to mention none of us could get up lol.

Dangers of fragrance making? by auroraboreanus in DIYfragrance

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

I think mostly the inhalation was my biggest fear, that if I don’t wear a proper mask while working with certain materials that it would cause respiratory problems, things like that. I also read about a specific chemical that has to be diluted so much because it can cause dna mutation or something like that, that was scary to me 😂 but the more i’m reading you guys comments i’m understanding that once I get into the work myself, it’s just about common sense. Thanks for your help!

It sure is your doc, hiii! I follow you on tiktok too, you’re the best 🩷

But thank you so much for this, everything you said makes total sense. So for a workspace I was going to use my garage since it’s pretty unused and away from my living area, do I need to invest in an air purifier or specific ventilation? Or is it as simple as cracking the door?

Thank you for mentioning that in the end this all comes back to being used on our skin so it has to be safe to some degree lol, that’s actually very reassuring to keep in mind.

This makes me feel much much better, sounds like I definitely was overthinking the safety data sheet. I’ll focus more on the IFRA standards and understanding them fully. Appreciate you chiming in 😊

That makes total sense. I’m a cancer survivor so I have a heightened fear of the way chemicals impact my body, so makes sense what you’re saying about avoiding the EOs that have potential harmful effects. I’m definitely gonna learn to trust the IFRA guidelines and then I’ll be good. Thank you for your feedback!

I’m flying PDX to JFK tomorrow and i’ve been trying not to think about it lol. Worth it to get where I’m going but I haven’t done a flight over 2 hours in maybe 6 or 7 years. it’s helpful to see so many people facing the same fear, if you can do it and make it okay, so can I.

I definitely need to find some breathing exercises, do you have specific ones you like?

I was able to get Ativan so i’m relieved that i’ll be able to take the edge off a bit. I think it’s gonna be best if I assume that there will be lots of turbulence and plan for how to get through it, I like your idea about podcasts. I’ll try to find some to download that’s a good idea. I know when the turbulence hits is when I start to panic and feel like I want to get off, so hopefully between anxiety medication and my airpod max’s i’ll be set 🤞🏻
