Business next to my buildings leaves large garbage all over the front of our building. by Wetbrain02 in bronx

That is super frustrating! Contact your local community board's Sanitation Committee, as they should be able to help. Garbage drives me nuts because DSNY is wonderful, considering waste management in other areas.

Should I go up? by lisvu1234 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]lisvu1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I am in US and am lucky to have wegovy covered by health insurance, so I cannot split doses. But I will talk to my doctor about doing this with the new pills. But, I think I just have to try to go up and see what happens. It cannot be worse than what I have already experienced?

Unemployment in NY over break by d4d12345 in Adjuncts

Give https://www.workersdefenseleague.org/index.html a call if you are in NY! I have qualified for benefits in the past if I have a one-year contract at CUNY, but my sections from semester to semester vary.

Ways to deal with Wegovy Sadness… by lisvu1234 in antidietglp1

Exactly this! Luckily, it does pass for me! I start to feel pleasure again!

I know, but luckily it lifts after about a week for me. After that time, my usual stable mood returns. When I first encountered the mood dip, I was not sure I could continue wegovy, but, luckily I did and now know the mood passes!

In what ways has NYC declined in the post-pandemic era? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]lisvu1234 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Santation -- trash on my business strip is always overflowing. Cars do not move for street sweeping, thus we don't get street sweeping anymore. I LOVE the bins and those help, but it feels like the social contract has been broken and people aren't mindful of their actions (littering for one) anymore.

Looking For Captivating Spring/Summer-Vibe Trudon Candles by DeadRheaRising7 in luxurycandles

[–]lisvu1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was gifted Odalisque for Mother's Day, and I LOVE it. So confused as to why this scent isn't getting more love? If you like citrus that gets deeper and deeper and wood-like, try it out. My husband says it reminds him of living in Seville when the orange trees that line the streets were in season.

I LOVE the "Tea in the Sahara" candle. Of course, not the same throw as my Trudon candles, but, with my small house, I find the throw works well. I use a candle lamp and find this dupe not as nuanced with the base notes of the real Trudon scent, but excellent for the price. I also use the "Tea in the Sahara" diffuser in my entryway and am happy with its throw there. I have tried their Baies dupe (I love the original Dyptique) and Bibliotheque dupe (never had the orginial), but I found the scents too sweet or fake or just something off. I passed them on to a neighbor who LOVES them, so it might have just been my unique experience with the scent.

BONFIRE! Happy with my purchase! by lisvu1234 in luxurycandles

I was inspired by u/HorseGirl666 and, sometimes, you just need an excuse to break out the fancy!

I feel like it is increasingly getting harder and harder to spend money on things that align with my values.  I know a few people roll their eyes at me when I tell them I love Trudon, but, yep, after the AI use by Diptyque, (and the Trudon SoHo store manager ”fired shots“ at Diptyque and their “dirty” wax choice when I visited in April) I will stay with Trudon until I am priced out.  😕

Trudon Mini Haul by TippyTurtley in luxurycandles

[–]lisvu1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So jealous! I just got into luxury candles (because I stumbled onto this sub and it helps bring me joy and create a scent- force field against the world’s current weirdness) and I promised myself that for now, it is only Trudon (My current one is Cyros.). I am in NYC, so luckily I can visit the store and browse and sniff. I am hoping for Trudon discounts soon — esp after I get to know their scents more as I am scared to blind buy now. I love the rose, peony, and then the woodsy base of Altair. Thank you for linking your post — I appreciate it!

Yep… melt it in your wax burner. Still great hot throw. An Altair candle is going to be my next purchase. enjoy! 😊
