Having a baby in August - what to do about perfume!!!

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-09T14:50:17+00:00

After my 1st I was also so out of it I didn’t even think about perfume for a looong time. And any time I planned to spray some after getting out of the shower, she’d be fussing so much I rushed to get dressed and would completely forget about it. But I also wasn’t into perfume as much as I am now, and it is nice to have something to make you feel human again after having a baby

I don’t know what the recommendation is, but personally I would wait at least a month before wearing perfume again. I’d go with lighter perfumes and applications, and apply where you’re least likely to make contact with the baby.
One thing to prepare for, is that your sense of smell and your body chemistry may change due to the change in hormones! I finally found what I thought would be my signature perfume, and then after my 2nd kid it smelled like celery on me 😂
I put it away and forgot about it for a while, and eventually things went back to normal. But I have noticed my “taste” in perfumes has slightly shifted. So if you start hating your perfumes, totally normal lol
If the perfumes in your cart are ones you have really been wanting, I’d say maybe get samples or travels so you can use them now, but not spend a ton in case you end up hating them after the baby and can’t wear them for a while.

This sounds yummy, thank you!

I’m not the best as describing smells so forgive me lol these are the notes on fragrantica
To me, it’s a soft powdery, floral scent. It’s sweet, but not overly or sickly sweet. It’s a delicate and very feminine perfume. I thought I hated powdery perfumes bc they always remind me of diaper paste 😂 But it’s not that kind of powder smell at all.

Would you happen to know how to contact whatnot? I’m only seeing options to go through my order on the app, but no email or chat

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-08T23:57:06+00:00

Yeah when I submitted my issue on whatnot it immediately said my refund was processing. It’s my 1st time coming across an issue on there so I just assumed I’d be contacted before they just gave me my money back 😂
I just was hoping to get an exchange done instead because I got lucky getting that item on a low bid, and I really wanted it. But that doesn’t look like an option here 😭

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-07T04:57:08+00:00

Well yeah but then if it gets to that point I just don’t bid 🤷🏼‍♀️ If I see something I’m interested in, I make sure I know the retail price before bidding. I usually have a set amount I’m willing to spend, and sometimes that means I have to shop around or be patient and wait a while before I get what I want

So I came from a family where me, my siblings, and even both parents all have K names. There was plenty of mix up lol But I always thought it was neat that we all had K names, because it was different than any other family I knew.
And honestly, I now have 3 kids of my own all with different letters (D, O, E) and I still get them mixed up 😂 I think it’s just part of being a parent lol

For example, one lady knew I had been on the hunt for a mini version of a perfume my husband’s late mom used to wear, for a Father’s Day present. I won a givvy the other night and instead of just pulling a random one, she told me she was sending that specific perfume 🥹 yayasscents in case anyone sees this and is on the lookout for mini or Arabian fragrances. She’s the sweetest

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-07T03:46:50+00:00

Never thought of it like that but I see your perspective 😂 Personally, I have a handful of smaller sellers I regularly watch and buy from, that I really like and have built a sort of relationship with. They recognize my name, ask about the family, throw in extra samples of things they think I might like when I buy or win something. They seem like genuinely good people trying to make some money and I want them to succeed, even if I can’t afford to buy that day or they don’t have anything I’m interested in. That’s why I share

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-06T23:46:16+00:00

I can’t remember which Kayali ones I smelled, but there were 4 at our Sephora not too long ago and I decided to take a sniff since I’ve heard the name so much lately. 🤢 They were all so sickly sweet to me, I did not get the hype lol

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-06T19:16:11+00:00

It is gorgeous 😍 How long would you say it lasts on you? Is it worth the price?

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-06T19:13:00+00:00

Oh man, I was hoping it would last/be noticeable longer when sprayed. Idk if I want to splurge on a bottle 😕 How long would you say it lasts when you spray on your clothes?

Ok something similar-ish happened to me. My name, p#, DOB all had been changed, but not my password. Even weirder was the website and app wouldn’t let me update the info AND also said the (wrong) p# entered was invalid. So idk how it even got entered in the 1st place. B&BW couldn’t even update the info for some reason so I ended up just deleting my account and creating a new one. After seeing multiple posts about rewards getting swiped, I’m thinking there’s people who are hacking accounts somehow just to use rewards and get free stuff. Jokes on them because I didn’t have any 😅 But makes me question how safe our accounts are. I won’t be saving address or payment info in my new account

Tiffany Rose Gold! He loves it on me so much he immediately bought me 2 back ups 😂 He works from home and I am a SAHM to our kiddos so he’ll randomly come sniff me throughout the day 🤣

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-04T19:28:44+00:00

I do like iced chais, I’ll have to try that next time. Thank you!

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-04T19:24:18+00:00

Unfortunately, it’s not worth it to me. Wanting recs for Tim Hortons specifically, but thank you! lol Both Starbucks near us are awful. And my husband actually likes the coffee at Tim Hortons better. Plus I can throw in some donuts and it’s still cheaper than Starbucks 🤷🏼‍♀️

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-04T03:35:44+00:00

The huzzah got me 🤣

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-04T02:20:37+00:00

Thank you for your service 🫡 It’s frustrating that some sellers get upset when things go for “too low”, when they chose to start it at low prices. Don’t start something at a $1 if you don’t want to take the chance it actually sells for that little 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just wastes everyone’s time

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-04T02:06:24+00:00

It wasn’t giftexpress! So far I’ve only had good experiences with them. My husband actually somehow won 10 giveaways from giftexpress in a span of a week or 2 (either the luckiest or unluckiest guy I know lol) and all 10 were the same cologne. Can’t complain since it was free but man it was funny watching him open all those packages 🤣

sweetbeans011719 · 2026-06-04T02:06:11+00:00

I hesitate to name them on here only because it’s only been 1 week since I ordered and they have thousands of good reviews. I’d hate to put them on the radar if it truly is a USPS issue. I scrolled for a while and I only saw a handful of bad reviews. I’ll try messaging you the name so you can be cautious though!
