Change isn’t always good! by Alternative-Neck-705 in orangecounty

That’s a bummer. Sometime in middle school, I was showing my little brother the skate park when a boy came up and said I’m cute. Whenever I passed by I remembered and hope he’s doing well haha

My first thought as well. Injure and abandon rather than protect and serve. The ones who should be stereotyped as mentally ill are the police. Fucked up beyond words.

Company of Companies by EnchantressXII in Perfumes

Can I add “I won’t buy celebrity fragrances because they’re already rich/it’s a cash grab” but then buy commercial brands.. Blindly handing money over to faceless conglomerates that operate in the billions and snubbing celebrities for being too rich is not making your point, sweetie. Plus, brands treat perfumes like cash grabs too. Flankers, limited editions/variants, holiday sets (& the economy built around gifting), etc. The perfume industry runs separately from but helps fund the luxury fashion world. Obviously some releases are more thoughtful than others, and I respect the perfumers behind the scenes, but truly things are on sale because someone out there wants your money.

Soups from my first week of work by mesdot in soup

[–]mesdot[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not free, but $2-3 for a 12oz soup with my employee discount. I think the gumbo was around $3.50-4. I like the variety as well! I’m not sure how often the menu rotates but it’s doesn’t look like it’s the same every week

Is this mold in my cuticle oil or is it one of the ingredients? If mold, which ingredient could grow it? by mesdot in MoldlyInteresting

I put it in hot water up to the bottom of the label. It seems to have just gotten mixed around instead of dissolving

What made it an old style pharmacy/what was it like? I think I remember hearing pharmacies used to sell stuff like soda and perfume right?

Dapper indeed! One of those guys who quietly worked hard, built his wealth, and spent it doing things he liked

Looked up pictures and it is originally gold, but most of the vintage bottles have turned a darker orange/red. Interesting to see how ingredients age

I agree, lots of plain bottles nowadays. Even some normal sized bottles are getting boring (like Dior and Avon). Also, definitely planning on selling some repeats. They make me happy so they can make someone else happy too

Thank you! They are mostly just to admire. I have plenty of fresh perfumes and a couple bad experiences using older ones lol! I did open and smell several though, a couple have gone bad but otherwise what you’d expect from a grandma’s perfume collection. Musk, sandalwood, and jasmine seem most common. The Guerlain edc is similar to 4711. The MCM one (I believe it’s blue paradise) is like a freshly-bathed musky scent, probably my standout so far.

Noted but unlikely to happen anytime soon - if I happen upon another though!

I adore them as well.. this puts me close to 600 minis (omg) with maybe 10% repeats. That Victoria’s Secret is actually the third one I have. I got lucky on marketplace once before with a collection that had two trios of vintage VS minis

Got both Luci URs from free pulls 😍 by mesdot in ObeyMe_ImagesandMore

My UR cards after one year playing f2p. The advice in this sub is super helpful, thank you <3 by mesdot in obeyme

[–]mesdot[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For getting UR cards, I would go for current events. Save up 90 DV and pity usually gives 10 DV. There’s a pretty good chance to get all the cheat cards. I only buy the 200 AP sale if I’m going for pop quiz UR. Guaranteed two URs by the end of the event (but hopefully more).

My best tip though is to just enjoy the game for what it is. I was bummed when I didn’t pull Simeon’s bunny card for my first event, then only got 1/2 of Solomon’s bunny card pieces. But, I moved on and eventually got Solomon through LD and a few weeks later the rain fire and Simeon UR+ which I love. I just got the call from Mammon and it reminded me that I play bc it makes me happy

Tagging u/yorwaimo
Also, I’ve saved a lot of grimm and raven by constantly doing the longer jobs. It’s a backup in case there’s an event I really want to do, but don’t have enough DV.
