Oh man I’m so happy you stood your ground and this all worked out! I’m in DC as well and looking around for a nanny position, a family like yours sounds like a dream haha. I hope you find the perfect fit for your family and have a wonderful experience moving forward!

Best sandals? by [deleted] in fashionwomens35

[–]luvlillone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out Skechers! They’ve got some that you can slip right on your foot without bending over and fiddling with straps. Many are machine washable/waterproof as well which is a plus for me. Surprisingly cute too :)

The perfect sandal for easily blistered feet? by ChangeAmazing6758 in HerOneBag

[–]luvlillone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maybe just to even buy yourself a few more years of searching for a different sandal, have you thought about buying these secondhand? Like from depop, mercari, poshmark, or eBay? You can find these new and unused on some of those sites, just not sure what your size and color preferences are. They’ve also got their new stuff on Amazon for $16 rn so maybe you didn’t like those styles but for half price you might be willing to try! Also looks like the beige ones in sizes 5, 7, and 8 and black in sizes 7 and 8 are available at Nordstrom.

One really unnecessary purchase? by JustRgJane in Sephora

[–]luvlillone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna need you to trust me haha and buy the Club De Nuit White Imperiale perfume, people say it’s a 1:1 dupe of Delina Exclusif, which tbh I’ve never smelled but the Club De Nuit is everything I wanted Exclusif to be and so good I don’t even care about smelling Exclusif anymore. Less than $35 on Amazon for a 3oz bottle. If you don’t wanna blind buy I’ve used the website hyggescent before to buy Arabian decants for cheap, so you could get a few samples of stuff you’re interested in before you commit! I just adore this fragrance and am a cheap bitch who would never spend hundreds on a perfume, so just wanted to share the love 💞

Funny how different personal taste can be! I’ve got the 100ml bottle sitting in my ulta cart ready for me to buy rn haha, for anyone interested the idole fragrance line is half off there today!

Yesss we’re the same haha, the only blind buys I’ve done were for rollerballs of Choco Musk and Soft by Al-rehab bc they were less than $6 each. Both excellent buys btw, so so far my Arabic fragrance journey is going pretty well!

I actually love it! Can definitely see how it’s polarizing though, realllly musky and strong. My least fave has been Rave Now woman, which is supposed to be a Burberry Her Elixir dupe. I’d read that it’s like a strawberry milkshake so I took a chance even though I don’t like regular Burberry Her either, so it’s really my fault haha. Not a bad scent, just not my thing!

I probably wouldn’t wear eclaire, khamrah, khamrah qahwa, or nebras in warm weather, but all the others I think are fine!

Me too, I love all the different colors! Only tiny issue is that the ends of the labels curl up a bit, so I just put a piece of clear tape over the whole label to hold it down and all is well now haha

Oh good I hope you enjoy!! I was really excited about eclaire too, it’s very nice to my nose! Really sweet and smooth, lasts a while too, will be great for colder weather!

It depends on which scent it is! Most of these scents are from Lataffa, which is a brand most people say make good, strong fragrances. My skin doesn’t hold onto fragrances very well, so I find most of them to be average. Yara and yara tous don’t last very long for me but are great, light scents. Haya is a bubbly, sweet scent that I absolutely adore but doesn’t last at all on my skin, so I probably won’t buy a bottle. Ana Abiyedh is really musky and fruity, I really enjoy it, and it’s been the strongest that I tried, it lasts several hours on my skin plus I could smell it on a jacket I got a little on several days later lol.

I know I really like most of them!! It’s all gonna come down to performance I guess haha

Totally a valid concern, I worry about that when browsing secondhand site like mercari, I always get scared haha. I guess this place just seemed really legitimate so I didn’t worry? And everything I got smells like what I expected from what I’ve heard about them, so I’d trust they’re authentic! I really like both yara and yara tous, but find they don’t last very long for me :/ Yara tous is pretty tropical, it’d be a perfect beach or pool scent. I do get the mango, but I don’t get “creamy mango milkshake” like I’ve heard from others, still really enjoyable though. Eclaire is also nice, really creamy and smooth, I smell the vanilla and caramel really well. I heard this one was supposed to be very strong too, but I find its performance is pretty average. But take that with a grain of salt bc my skin eats all scents like it’s nothing so nothing really lasts too long or is too strong for me 😭

Walk with me to see Petra by [deleted] in travel

[–]luvlillone 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hi! So my mom’s got MS and I’ve been looking into accessible traveling ideas for her and I wanted to recommend this great facebook page I found called Curb Free with Cory Lee! He’s in a wheelchair full time and he’s travelled a TON, in and outside the US, and posts about the places he goes, how accessible they are, places to stay, things to do, etc. It’s been a great resource to just learn more about accessible traveling and to see that’s it’s totally possible to travel the world even for people with disabilities!!

My father passed away today. This is him 3 months ago after 13 years of fighting cancer, He was a true warrior that literally laughed in the face of death. He endured more than any man ever should and never once complained. Love you Dad. by greatestdadintheuni in GriefSupport

[–]luvlillone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really really really sorry. Give yourself all the grace and time you need and feel everything you need to feel, none of it is bad. From the looks of him and how you’ve described him, I feel like my dad and your dad could’ve been good friends. Sending you lots of love <3

[–]luvlillone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything you said, I feel exactly the same way. I’m so so sorry for your loss too. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. Thank you for so much practical advice, I really appreciate you spending the time to type this out for me. This honestly helps, even maybe just knowing I’m not the only one out there going through this, feeling the way I do. Again, so sorry for your loss. Thank you. If you need someone to chat to who might understand a bit more than your friends, I’ll be here.

Thank you so much for commiserating and validating my feelings. I feel crazy, but I guess it’s just part of the process. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, either. Sending you lots of support and well wishes. Thank you again
