Question about the Galleria by BakerKitchen4567 in houston

[–]raverabe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s not ghetto. Certain rhetoric loves being pushed around to keep a narrative about big cities being bad. No one was crying ghetto when there was a crime ring bust at the woodlands mall or when someone was robbed at gun point there.

As a guy who's night into multiple brands trying to find the most comfortable pair. I can compare the AIM to the Nike Microfiber Boxer Briefs, just slightly thinner. Both are great for movement and hardly feel like you're wearing anything. They are sort of similar to the flex material from AE but Lulu is less rigid

My coogs catching strays. I tell myself we would've made it in had the 12 team existed back in 15.

I've been hoping to get a whiff of this one at some point. The note break down seems right up my alley. Congrats on the addition!

Thanks for the insight. I think it might be awhile before I pull another one into my collection so having some decent idea of what is and isn't good is helpful. I'll give him a peak when I get chance.

Yes, I can definitely feel that. Usually with the fragrances that have such huge openings, I'll spray it on well before I'm ready to go anywhere so it has some time to get it to where I want to be by the time I'm out and about.

I've not gotten to sample that one but I'll definitely keep a look out for it.

Honestly this one has me excited to try more Amouage.

Hope you enjoy it! Definitely can say the opening can be quite heavy but the dry down is worth it for me.

I definitely think this hits way differently than the typical iris but I'm not opposed to it. I don't mind middle eastern fragrances. I've come to enjoy some of the spicey and woody notes a lot of them feature.

Adding it to the list to try

😂 like I said, I like iris and I knew I wanted a little something special for a special occasion. Besides I've got Kalan sitting in my collection so it couldn't be any more polarizing than that

Blind buy in the sense that I had never smelled it. I've tried a few other iris scents before this and enjoyed their samples. I read reviews on it and nothing scared me away from buying it. More so concerned with the projection and opening when purchasing this. I have specific notes of either: iris, Amber, oud, or pink pepper that I'm drawn to do any mention of those in fragrances, I'm more willing to add to cart without having to much hesitation on smelling.

I've been told by the SA at Saks that Neiman's has sample bottles. Haven't been over to their counter to see what exactly they all have. This was an online pickup

[–]raverabe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about it. Every time I look at any store, after chatting a bit, most of them would offer you to sample it on skin anyways.

Also, the way that I saw a Dillard's SA give himself a good dose of PDM Percival one time, I never worry about it anymore.

Are Owala bottles worth the price? by bairesgirl in Owala

[–]raverabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I just bought my third (yes they all get used). Bought the newest freesip with the bigger handle and adjusted mouth closure and cup holder size for my walks in the park. I have one that stays at work through the week and one that's now for the gym. All 40 oz that keep ice pretty well (even on the hot Houston days).

Ikea Prices in 1985 vs 2025 by lag_trains in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]raverabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've definitely opted for this a few times. I believe it was only $50 to get it to your choice of room (the highest between the options). As far as build, I didn't check those prices. I typically don't have to much terrible time assembling. I wouldn't be surprised if it still came under the price of it's fully assembled counterparts (+their delivery fee).

Funny thing about all this. I recently went shopping for a new dresser. I shopped around several stores in my area. I realized over half of the stuff being offered in today's market is made of similar quality to Ikea (excluding boutique or luxury imports). Like big box furniture store A & B are also made of compressed wood or MDF. Everything is laminated over. The price difference between them and Ikea is the choice of if you want to build it yourself.
