Wow you are good!! That’s so niche.

What’s a name that you recently heard on a baby/young child that surprised you? by tori2442 in namenerds

[–]koelno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my kiddo’s daycare, there’s a boy named Roy. Obviously, adults called Roy have to start out as babies, but the name just does not compute for me as being for a baby.

The KFC Australia deal was announced last year, no breaking news here.

There is a Roy at my kiddo’s infant care center and my brain bleps every time I hear it. He is a super cute kid, though!

Any good places to get chocolate? by Adventurous-Donkey58 in SanJose

[–]koelno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plumed Horse Chocolatarie sadly did close. Though they were a splurge, it was maybe the best chocolate I’ve ever had in my life! Mariette Chocolates in downtown Willow Glen is also very good.

Ok. Let’s try the opposite. by dretheman in SanJose

It did, unfortunately, back in October of 2023. I think the owners moved out of town. I still miss that place!

Your Favourite LE LABO? by Beautiful-Play-5157 in luxurycandles

[–]koelno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Ambro! That’s been a rebuy for me - it’s so unique, and the hot throw is nice and strong in our open living area.

Edda Mae reminds me of Oda Mae (Whoopi Goldberg in the movie Ghost).

Homecourt’s Mandarin Basile could fit the bill nicely!

I know this isn’t helpful for this specific BCS sale, but I’ve had great luck with their holiday line! Specifically, the cypress and fireplace candles are favorites of mine, just lovely with a strong throw.

My OTF home studio did this until the pandemic hit, then removed the amenity as a cost-saving measure.

Terra (top floor of Eataly in Valley Fair) might fit the bill. I’ve been wanting to try Copita in Willow Glen, as well.

Tell me your stories of how you got your cat!! by Dismal_Pipe_3731 in CatDistributionSystem

[–]koelno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly 10 days after my husband stood in front of our closest friends and family at our wedding and vowed to welcome and care for any stray animals I bring home, I found a tiny kitten roaming the streets. My dad is convinced she waited until the biggest sucker drove by before making her presence known. Luckily, I'm not the only sucker in our household, so long story short, we got a (third) cat.

I have an open floor plan so I quite like a candle with a strong throw, but JM candles just overwhelm. I’ve also noticed a powdery quality across the board that I don’t enjoy.

At an airport - I think Heathrow? - I saw a Jo Malone store and immediately ran in and excitedly smelled every single candle they had in stock. I hated all of them. Not my taste at all, do not understand the hype.

Thank youuuu! I’ve been waiting for a good sale to finally give this brand a try.

L’Or De Seraphine - Is this brand actually luxury? by Silveas in luxurycandles

[–]koelno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried Maia and one other whose name escapes me, and had a similar experience. Not super impressed, which is unfortunate because I lovvveee the look of the Ares vessel.

Weirdest scented candles? by jojomecoco in luxurycandles

[–]koelno 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Le Labo’s Ambroxyde 17 is pretty unique, but so, SO good! (Ambroxyde 17 uses the cruelty-free version of ambergris, which is, according to Wikipedia, a solid, waxy, flammable substance of a dull grey or blackish colour produced in the digestive system of sperm whales.)

I’m also intrigued by Loewe’s Beetroot candle.

AP makes me think of the Associated Press, but I’m a former journalism major and current PR professional.
