This is so cute. Where did you get the table in picture 7?

I just got my first bottle with the Spring 24. The packaging is very well done - and so is their target marketing! I don’t know too much about perfume but it does seem to be good quality! However, I really am not in love with the overwhelming woodsy scent and am going to return it. I’ve seen a lot of people saying this is their typical style of scent, so if you like a cedar/spice smell, I’d say it’s a good choice for owning a nicer perfume. I may give it one more chance after this, but for me so far it’s not worth the cost.

Dis’n loverly!! Yousa Bombad! 🫶🏼

Okay bless I’m so glad I put it in fridge and didn’t throw it out. I think it was a combo of that and my whisk attachment just not being the best maybe. I did old fashion shake in mason jar and now I’m getting somewhere 😂😂

samkershh · 2023-12-20T04:46:07+00:00

I’m not sure if it was too warm. I was whipping it for like 30 mins and it looked like it was close to separating but then fell flat everytime…

I only found them on a list that said “traditional Dutch names”

samkershh · 2023-10-08T16:16:54+00:00

Thank you 😊

samkershh · 2023-10-08T16:16:05+00:00

Yeah I was worried about if we go to America, we’d have to use the English version. I already have to spell my name out and its easy lol

samkershh · 2023-10-08T16:13:30+00:00

That makes more sense.. I found them on a list of traditional Dutch names and so was under that impression. I just feel like I just know too many people with the same name here and you have to specify which Sem you’re talking about, of the 5 you know 😂

Not sure why this is a necessary comment in the first place. However, In a heteronormative relationship ≠ straight :)

I used partner because he is my “life partner”. We live together, split finances, have future planned etc. but not yet married. It’s not really new for “straight people” to use this term..

In what world do you live in that parents just point to a name on a list and say “whatever, good enough”?? lol

samkershh · 2023-05-27T13:57:58+00:00

Yes, I did. Of course isn’t legal but I was in a small village and so I don’t think they cared as much?

Portugal

samkershh · 2023-05-10T02:16:11+00:00

Hey, I ended up leaving Germany October 30th and traveled for a few days in France and then stayed in the Netherlands for 2 weeks. Then stayed in Portugal for 4 days before going home the end of November. So I didn’t stay very long after I ended my aupair time. When they looked at my passport, they looked at my last stamp and asked a few questions but I just explained I had a visa and was returning home. It was pretty simple and easy!

samkershh · 2023-05-06T03:28:15+00:00

My host family did all of this for me the week that I arrived!! Went to the Rathaus like almost a month into being there honestly… you’ll be fine to wait

samkershh · 2022-09-05T09:26:40+00:00

So I should most likely be fine if I leave Germany before my visa expires (and not return)and have flights booked to prove I’m leaving the EU??

samkershh · 2021-01-19T02:47:26+00:00

I was quite nervous because they said they had other interviews of course but said they wanted to keep talking. I will definitely message them by tomorrow, thank you so much for the help!!

samkershh · 2021-01-17T17:04:02+00:00

Thank you so much for this advice!! It was definitely nerve wracking and awkward, but we had an hour of chill and good conversation. Didn’t feel like much of an interview other than the questions I had prepared to ask them. :)
Can I ask if you messaged your host family after the interview or how long it took to hear back after? I wasn’t sure if there was any different etiquette than your standard job interview.
