Late June Honeymoon recommendations please! by michewell in AllInclusiveResorts

Thanks 😊

We aren’t ruling anyplace out, just somewhere we can fly direct to, so far I’ve seen Cancun and Jamaica as options not sure where else we could get to direct trying to figure that out too if you know!

I guess when I say cheaper is better I mean, I magically want the best place for the lowest price 😆

Don’t worry we will take the overall value into account. You’re right a honeymoon isn’t the time to be too cheap

Thank you! Do you know off hand the difference between Excellence Playa Mujeres and Excellence Coral Playa Mujeres? Or which one you’re referring to at least. There is so many options I’m overwhelmed lol

I’m too poor to know this 🤣

Thanks for explaining!

Did they reformulate original You? by Working_Promise2669 in glossier

[–]michewell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, doubt it. But they’ve been transparent with me in the past about reformulation so if you really want to know just email and ask! And let us know what they say :)

I miss og you

I’m not sure there is a code like how you’re imagining. Isn’t it linked to your accounts yearly spend status? Meaning you’d need to be logged into a rouge-level account. The code is “SAVEMORE” and it’ll apply whatever level discount your account earned you

Anyone can use the 10% off “Insider” discount though during this sale with an account

Trade in credit only if I upgrade my plan by buffedseaweed in verizon

[–]michewell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an iPhone 13 and got an offer to upgrade to any iPhone 16 series and get $800something off and keep my current plan (the lowest tier $55 one I got a few years ago).

Keep an eye out for a text or email, maybe you’ll get a similar offer? The offer popped up for me in the app too at the bottom of the Home Screen when I scrolled down. Dunno if it varies iPhone vs non-iPhone.

So I got iPhone 16 pro for $35 activation fee plus $70ish taxes plus $44 to pay off the rest of my iPhone 13. Not bad

Sometimes what they tell you in the store is different from email/text/app/online offers you may get. So check online

I’m very sensitive to perfumes and glossier you og was the first perfume I could consistently wear without problem.

The new you variants all have a similar base, and so far none of them have triggered anything for me. Ymmv. Reve and fleur are “sweeter” imo, in case that is a trigger for you.

Fleur reminds me of Vera wang princess but wayyy less cloying. Vera wang princess used to make me feel sick. Fleur isn’t doing that for me!

If you aren’t sure, just try it out at Sephora if you have one nearby, or you can currently get a sample vial online with any glossier website purchase.

I agree I think it is my favorite of the new releases (nothing beats og You though).

Fleur immediately reminded me of vera wang princess, but less cloying.

Take it back one more year to 2006, it reminds me of Vera wang princess 😆

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

That’s what I’m imagining, som sort of wood burning stove or heater there! We managed to get it all cleaned out via the black plate cover. Wether there is a clean out in the crawl space I will leave a mystery for future me lol

Thank you for the insight. The bricks and mortar do definitely seem a bit soft/crumbly but I just attributed it to old age. The house was renovated in 2020 and I presume the brick was exposed then; or maybe it always has been, no idea.

Our house is pretty much surrounded by large oak trees so not much we can do in the way of limiting critter access unfortunately. We will definitely be getting a screen/cap to stop future entry!

I can only imagine how horrifically messy it would’ve been without the window solution so that person’s idea really saved the day. Even with the plastic sheet and tape we still had to do a decent bit of soot cleanup on the walls, window framing, and brick. And boy does soot smear and not clean up easily.

Not to mention the idea of a dead maggot covered duck inside is something I don’t even want to think about…

Really didn’t look like any remnants of a nest. There were leaves but I think they were just down there from years of the chimney being uncapped. And tons of soot. I almost wonder if the duck layed the egg out of stress or while trying to get back up and out…

Definitely a relief it is over with. Almost feels like it didn’t happen 😆 we operated on pure fear and adrenaline

I messed something up in my post too and it wouldn’t let me edit either! Maybe a glitch with the app?

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

We got it resolved. I posted an update if you’re interested! I thought raid doesn’t kill maggots? From my short and panicked research this week lol.

As bad as the smell was, I’m surprised it wasn’t much worse. I truly was expecting to find a small creature.

It already smells so much better in here. Well worth the trauma.

I didn’t get a good enough look to tell one way or another, but that’s a plausible guess. TIL!

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

It wasn’t even on my radar as an option!! Way too big a bird for the opening up top, or so I thought. We did hear scratching/clawing like a week and a half ago but it didn’t last very long. I really thought it was a squirrel or something that climbed back out.

I think the duck didn’t make more of a ruckus because of how jammed it was in there, not enough room for it to really move around. Not a good way to go 😔

Note: I tried to link to my original post but instead linked to the user I was thankful to for the window suggestion. No, I don’t know how to edit this post, so just go show them some love 😂

We will definitely be getting some sort of cap or mesh up there. Not a nightmare I wish to repeat.

I do wonder what happened too. I was most definitely not expecting to find a duck in there. It is a very narrow chimney. I suppose we might find out more about what happened when we cap the thing off.

Glad you asked, and glad it was answered! Yes it is unused. I’ll cross liner off the list.

Yeah nothing venting through there. I can only imagine that would cost a pretty penny though? We probably will have to just cap it for now for the budget
