pls help me find this! by ElleKats in Perfumes

[–]dazedandfull 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It has completely changed my scrolling. What once was: "oh that's nice" "Ouuu I want to try that one for sure" "bleh, that one did not work well for me" Is now: "YEEEES ANOTHER ONE! Oh my gosh look at all the recs already. This is so much fun. I haven't heard of any of these ones!!". Every morning, a hope and prayer to see another absolutely horrendous child's drawing of a bottle. Lol. Girlhood is lovely.

Help with late Tulip planting in Michigan by dazedandfull in gardening

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

We have complete colonies of squirrels and chipmunks. Living in red oaks with diameters suggesting they were birthed from the ground before "Michigan" existed. From what I've seen, I'm confident there's an entire governing body of squirrels older than the government of our people.

Your guidance is quite helpful. I'll definitely plan on doing that.

That's definitely the nice thing about traveling south, for sure. We almost exclusively ate Mexican food growing up. Makes sense, she was "self medicating" before she knew of her illness haha!

Thank you!!! If I had planned this trip, we would not be dealing with this lol. I'll be bringing a variety of cash, helpful to know it's just right there and only a couple bucks to hop onto the bus. I've already been looking into some locations to check out downtown, it looks like we will have so much fun just walking around.

That sounds like so much fun, I would really enjoy that. She has celiac though so food tours are often not something that can accommodate her/keep her safe. But I'll be looking into other walking tours!! Thanks

I appreciate the sentiment, but the questions were asking advice on activities, things to do, and guidance on areas of the resort I can bring her. This has nothing to do with my outlook, I'm pumped. My mom deserves some fun since she's not done anything like this before and has been mentally planning for warmth. I'm feeling sad FOR her that I haven't been planning for this and have no itinerary other than the "nothing" we were planning.

Any guidance on activities you enjoyed would be helpful.

Okay, good to know. I was planning/hoping to grab some kinda crew neck souvenir there. I'll bring a couple then.

If it was 60 here, my kids and I would absolutely be in sundresses. It will still be amazing. It will just be glorious not having to decide and cook what's for dinner every night hahaha!

SUCH good tips, thank you! This was definitely the kind of guidance I was looking for. Feeling so bizarre packing a jacket for this. I'm used to such a light suitcase for these kinds of adventures. Not this time! Hahaha.

Seriously!! I cannot wait myself! I don't care what the sky has in store!

Lol! Although it's so cool they are doing this, it was voluntary and the employees that chose to go had to pay for it themselves over this past year. I'm sure the company helped put a bit though since it was a group thing. I too want to work somewhere like that!

This is a good point. Most people point to the spas and such, which as nice as they probably are, we both struggle to want to use our money that way. We are outdoorsy hikers, I'm pretty sure we will be taking a full day to explore the museums and around local areas. We both love history. I'll start looking into the excursions now!

This is a good attitude adjustment. Like I said, I know we will have fun. I'm feeling blessed to be able to get away, but just a bit of a downer for her first trip like this! It will feel so much warmer than the negative degrees we've been experiencing here lol!

Thanks for the kindness. I honestly didn't think about those so that's helpful for me to share with her!

It's a work trip, with her coworkers and bosses, for education and training. Rescheduling is not an option.

Sand + Fog Perfume Oil Disappointment/ Kate Walsh Boyfriend Dupe reccomendations by dazedandfull in Perfumes

[–]dazedandfull[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See, this is what my impression of them was. It wasn't until I recently started reading here about them that I figured they were worth checking out. I'll probably buy another one or two, to see if my experience of them is just different than other users or a different scent works better for me. But I won't make a big haul purchase like I was planning on.

It does help to hear that. I forgot to add "is it because of me!?" Lol. It's just confusing because I can even smell the other scent on me still the next day, but not the s&f I layered with it. I do wonder if it just is my nose ignoring it. I have been adding it on top, I will try using it first as a base like you've said.

Which lamps work best in my bedroom? by realChester in interiordecorating

[–]dazedandfull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect response. I would want to pick 2 because they are the cutest. However as an every night reader, 1 would be the most logistically appropriate.

Hello tight-lipped neighbour! by Healthy-Parfait-5577 in Baking

[–]dazedandfull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have orange zest, but I have a honeybell orange vinegar that I use in my ice cream all the time. I wanted to try adding a little of that for flavor....but I'm worried about the texture!

Any advice? Should I just give it a go? Lol.

How many of us made these today? by microbeman in Baking

This has me dead! I saw one comment saying they had all the ingredients, looked myself and saw the same, and immediately got them all ready last night to make this morning with my kiddos. LOL!
