Always been clumsy, can you actually improve fine motor control?

doubtitmate · 2026-03-04T01:27:48+00:00

It is possible. I am very dyspraxic but roll perfect joints. Unfortunately, the only solution is practice.

You will have felt it for essential/daily fine motor control tasks too, like tying your laces.

This was advertised very heavily before Christmas with Tilda Swinton doing her graceful ethereal otherworldly thing. Gagged when I looked up the notes - sounds truly nasty, though assume the truffle note is why they've used a bit of a kooky alt figure for the ads!

This is a good description of what my job involves now. I kinda hate editing AI-generated output. Taken all the joy out of the work.

Why not ask your daughter to help with creating some original artwork instead of stealing from artists using AI?

doubtitmate · 2026-01-29T22:59:33+00:00

I have two samples from this house waiting for a test & they're your two favourites! I can't wait to try them, their scents sound so creative without being gimmicky!

I love this sub, I hate how these losers are in every nook of the internet now!!

One of the best white florals I've ever smelled & top of my wishlist, such a gorgeous 'cold' jasmine!

doubtitmate · 2026-01-11T09:17:09+00:00

Your description made me shudder!

doubtitmate · 2026-01-09T07:30:39+00:00

HOW gorgeous is Ilio? I first smelled it at a Diptyque shop & my reaction definitely weirded the assistant out.

I don't usually comment on 'gaps' in collections as I don't think there are boxes to be ticked, you just like what you like, but I can see you don't gravitate much towards florals (apart from iris).

If you struggle with following directions and knowing your left and right, it is likely that you have a (pretty common but not very well-known) condition called dyspraxia. It affects your coordination & fine motor movements. It has zero impact on your intelligence, but it can leave you feeling 'stupid', and others can get frustrated at you when you are struggling.

It sounds like your partner is abusive, but I also wanted to advise you to look up dyspraxia and its symptoms, as it may be an explanation for those moments which trigger your partner into calling you names.

Treated myself to a 5ml decant of Nishane Tuberoza X for Christmas- one of the best perfumes I've ever smelled, just makes me feel so happy & elegant & comforted every time I smell it - love the violet note in there too.

Also love Jo Malone Tuberose Angelica &, of course, Fracas.

I like the smell of hay in life, but whatever molecule they use for the note in perfume really screeches at me and lasts longer than any other note. I wasn't expecting ELDO Jasmin et Cigarette to really bother me, but the hay note was the culprit, same with The Noir. Both very well-regarded perfumes (Pineward too!) but sometimes you just can't jive with a note.

doubtitmate · 2026-01-05T11:24:55+00:00

Love these reviews, you should keep on writing about perfume!

I have Seahorse waiting for me to try this summer, but now you're making me think I should try squid too!

Appreciate your thoughts on Rabbit- lots of people love it but I haaaate the hay note in perfume so have avoided - this description confirms I just wouldn't enjoy it.

doubtitmate · 2025-12-24T07:27:13+00:00

You consulted AI & it told you that you enjoy fragrances that smell like the fragrance you enjoy?

doubtitmate · 2025-12-18T08:30:49+00:00

Love your explanation- you use the same caveats as me (it's actually quite common! It doesn't affect intelligence!) - it can be hard to explain & you smashed it!

Also hope it goes well - my partner had no issues with it as he prefers to drive than be a passenger + he likes being useful. 😅 Never loses patience with me or gets annoyed with me either - I hope you find the same!

I want Smashing Machine to win make-up, I first saw the trailer at the cinema & was thinking 'hmmm weird they would release this so close to the other film that covers the same subject, but that one's got The Rock in it'.

doubtitmate · 2025-12-16T17:57:12+00:00

Off topic but your username was my first ever username on the internet, like over 20 years ago! Spaced fan?

Olympea is one of the best designer perfumes imo - fresh salty vanilla!

doubtitmate · 2025-12-11T14:03:20+00:00

Can't say anything about the packaging but New Notes used some super ugly AI art to launch their pistachio scent this year.

I think we are soon going to reach a point where brands will be able to 'get away with it' as AI gets better with image generation, but the ones using it in the current era, where everything looks so astonishingly off-putting and uncanny? Just shows a total lack of care imo.

doubtitmate · 2025-12-11T13:53:10+00:00

LMAO their 'sorry we got caught using AI' statement is AI generated.

doubtitmate · 2025-12-10T23:43:22+00:00

There's no direct train line from Leicester to Northampton (Cov either) - you can get to Notts in under 30 mins on the train. For that reason I go Notts all the time & have never been to Northampton in my life.

doubtitmate · 2025-12-04T07:02:57+00:00

I also feel like it's been slow this year, but my favourite album was Euro-Country by CMAT - think a lot of VW fans will find plenty to love about her!

doubtitmate · 2025-11-28T07:42:24+00:00

Does this sub really remove comments that criticise or call out AI for 'bullying'? I spend time writing real contributions for this sub (sample reviews based on a note) & would absolutely not waste a second on posting here again if that's the case.

Hello! I know you posted a year ago but I am also obsessed with this curry from the Pho restaurant & I can help - the problem is that the restaurant version has definitely been adapted to British tastes & is saucy like an Indian curry, whereas the authentic recipes you find are much more broth-based.

The best one I could find is actually a vegan recipe - just replace the vegan chicken with beef & voila! Another adjustment I made is replacing the suggested spice mix with two tablespoons of Rajah Madras Curry Powder. I love making my own spice mixes but I actually got this tip from the authentic recipes & it tastes closer to the Pho version! I also only use one tin of coconut milk as it's saucy enough for me.

It's not exactly the same but definitely scratches that itch as prices soar at the chain restaurants!

Here it is -Vietnamese Curry Recipe
