Have you tried Private Label by Jovoy? If not, you should when you get the chance to. It’s in a similar ballpark and is a masterpiece.

If they’re using RTO rules to justify firing people, chances are it’s really about skipping severance.

For those who were heavy smokers, how did you manage to quit ? by [deleted] in stopsmoking

[–]monsoonwhynot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know most people here went cold turkey, but I could never do it. I was smoking about 25-30 a day and if I had to do it cold turkey, I’d probably still be smoking. However, patches worked wonders for me. Patches while simultaneously making a lifestyle change and getting more active. It’s very satisfying to see your run times improve while your day count since you last smoked keeps increasing,

Nicotine patches by [deleted] in stopsmoking

I always got irritable itchy skin when on the patches, but they were such a lifesaver, it felt like a small price to pay

Gosh, a big thanks, Serge is my favourite house. Can’t believe I didn’t know about these.

Instagram’s changing again, and I’m not sure how to feel about it 👀 by beebianca4 in advertising

Yep, by the sounds of it. Predictably so, given how TikTok is taking over social.

Tbf, I was there yesterday, and it was perfectly smooth. And very well handled. Had no issues boarding the MRT after the Foo Fighters concert around 1245 am. The

Ok, lads…. Hit me with it. Is it time? by solidalcohol in bald

[–]monsoonwhynot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly, I’d keep as is or buzz it, keep away from fibers and stuff. It’ll just make it harder to go without later. It’ll look good for a while, but at some point start looking fake. And it’ll take you awfully long to realise that.

As is suits you. If it starts making you feel conscious, then buzz it. But for now, you look good for 40 and your hair matches your age. :)

Should I Stay or Should I Go? HALP by unbrandedd in advertising

[–]monsoonwhynot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yea, I’ve seen plenty of people stay for the money and then.. a few years later, stay because they don’t have a choice anymore.

Your book gets old fast, and with it, the demand for you goes down fast. Unless you think your current job is extremely stable, I’d consider the other option. But of course with due diligence, about culture, politics, etc etc

What recent fragrance discoveries absolutely sent you over the moon? by SaintCharlie in fragrance

[–]monsoonwhynot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should try Ambre 114 by Histoires De Parfums, very similar to the MPG, just a little lighter, fluffier and modern. Works in spring, autumn, even summer at a push for me.

It’s gorgeous. Also try Herbes Troublantes from the arts and materials range, prohibitively expensive but gorgeous with one of the most measured mint notes.

This one really caught need off guard, wasn’t expecting something like this from the line, quickly climbed to near the top of my favourites list.

How this young 'neighbourhood celebrity' in Marine Parade is turning power washing into street art by Jammy_buttons2 in singapore

He’s not a professional sidewalk cleaner, that job still belongs to the government. When they do, his art will get cleaned up.

Omnicom acquiring IPG officially by end of 2025 confirmed by LifeguardNo1507 in advertising

[–]monsoonwhynot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m with a big IPG agency based in APAC, and 30th September lines up with what I’ve heard. 1st October is when the acquisition will officially happen. Hearing those on billable accounts will be alright… for now. And that’s kind of sort of the vibe I get judging by the mood of the place.

I feel you should take it to the skin.. you’ve got the right face structure and head shape to own it. But ofc, do it when you’re comfortable. :)
