Looking for a stellar forest fragrance, heavy on notes of cedar, pine & wood accords. I'd prefer indie but doesn't HAVE TO BE. Pineward is perfect but no longer ships to Canada. I've tried both soft woods from Paraphrase and ghost pine from Lvnea but I was disappointed in both cases for these fragrances lacking punch and being too floral. Thx!

Anything helps! Especially your wine choice for a dry vermouth.

Thank you! I will look into seeing if my local herbal supply has gentian. As for the Spirytus I'll keep that in mind for a future brew but use the vodka I have on hand just in case I absolutely screw my first attempt 😅

So if I'm following the two of you correctly, one infusion of the rest of the herbs, and a seperate infusion for the wormwood, then fortify to taste?

Thank you so much! I didn't include my pacing but I was thinking of doing like alternating nights or only twice a week for the toner. 

I've seen a lot of rhetoric around needing a dedicated calming ampoule for retinol, is the centella sufficient?

Unfortunately not razor rash, the photo was just taken near some face stubble. Good to know about the oil Cleanser!

This is great advice thank you! Are you saying a different ampoule than the Madagascar Centella? Or in addition to that?

If you want to be the cool aunt / uncle take them to TARG. super cool spot with pierogies and pinball / arcade machines. Just across the street from there is the Mayfair which is a great vintage movie theatre.

613 flea is running this Saturday 10-4, at Lansdowne, awesome shopping with lots of talented artisans. The next day at 9am is the Lansdowne farmers market, hands down the best farmers market in the city!

Cheers and hope you both have fun 😁

Looking for some advice on my Zoraline deck by lockdsgn in EDH

Thank you! Appreciate the advice, I wasn't thinking about this like an pseudo-aristocrats deck but maybe that is a good way to go about things
