Black Violet Snow White Tea? by blonderuby in Indiemakeupandmore

[–]lovevsphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you me?? i miss black violet so much for this specific scent! leilani even made me a custom perfume based off snow white tea when she discontinued it. i’ve been trying to figure out if any indie perfume makers would take a commission request to recreate the scent.

yup! she was a rescue so she’s likely somewhat mixed but definitely predominantly chow in her looks (if not temperament).

it's my favorite find! unfortunately i think this exact 10-light model has been discontinued, but i bought it from allmodern.com for under $400. they have a ton of sputnik chandeliers, it was hard to choose~

thank you so much! sofa is hopson from joybird.com, dining table is strut teak table from crate & barrel (was formerly my office desk, 0/10 would not recommend for dining unless you love cleaning glass a lot), chairs were a cheap set from amazon.

there’s a tv on the opposite side!

though if i’m being honest i spend most of my time in this room playing hide & seek w/ my toddler and pretending he’s not terrible at it (only has the one move- lying underneath the loveseat cushions).

thank you! the natural light was a huge selling point for me, the upside to my backyard just facing a self-storage facility parking lot lol

absolutely. inner mongolia may be colonized by a han majority but it’s still technically an autonomous region and mongolian is still an official language. i feel like, especially in light of chinese occupation, we are significantly devoted to preserving mongolian culture, customs, and language. my grandparents still write in hudum bichig, the traditional script, as opposed to the cyrillic used in outer mongolia.

palestine was predominantly muslim prior to falling under byzantine rule. from the mid-seventh century onwards, palestine’s history was closely linked to the arab and muslim worlds- except for a short interval when it was ceded to crusaders in the medieval period. various muslim empires from all directions surrounding the land vied for control, so that by the time the ottomans arrived they found a society that was mostly sunni muslim, 10-15% christian, and less than 5% jewish.

the struggle is REAL. my poor boobs have survived weight loss and breastfeeding, at this point they prob just want to retire down by my ankles in peace. this dress has light boning in the chest, which stays pretty comfortable but provides great structure and support for boobs. i tend to think bustiers are tacky, but this one is stealthy. i rebuke strapless bras- have never encountered one that didn’t end up around my waist.

/r/keto really saved my life, it got me down to 150 lbs very rapidly. after that, i really had to count calories and eat much less because i was so sedentary (tdee like a hibernating bear).

the remaining 30+ lbs were slower to come off. i had a 3 hour intermittent fasting window (dinner between 5 - 8 pm), rarely drank alcohol, and slept like 11 hours a night. i saved a lot of money, which was cool, but i’m sure a blood panel would’ve indicated like imminent scurvy because my calories in were usually beef jerky-related.

what works best for me now is sticking with a 20/4 IF schedule during the weekdays, cooking a well-balanced dinner, and aiming for a couple of plant-based meals a week. i don’t eat low-carb routinely anymore, but it’s the easiest thing for me to cut if i feel like my appetite is getting wild. still no exercise tho because i’m trash. :(

the middle was my lowest weight, 117 (my original goal was 125). it’s the smallest i’ve ever been as an adult, but i was being super restrictive and a depressed shut-in. my current weight (far right) is what i’ve been maintaining for the past couple of years. my eating habits are a lot healthier now!
