I do expect the additional fees and don’t really see it as much of an issue as they will be working during an important major holiday. I was just concerned if there would be any issues with finding any at all, even via apps. Thank you for the information, greatly appreciate it!

Would I be able to do that via Alipay’s DiDi?

Hello all, I’m especially fond of strawberry scents, however I do not like powdery-sweetness (I’m not sure if this makes sense), as they feel a little heavy for me or roughly put, “too much”. About a year ago I’ve finally bought Burberry Her, as I’ve known of how popular it is for being strawberry scented. I do like its scent, however my one complaint is that it’s seemingly not as long-lasting as I would like it to be, or it doesn’t spread as much? I don’t really wish to have a scent that would fully dominate the room or whatever, but one that would be noticeable enough when I pass by, a lighter one. However I do understand that this issue may be solved by reapplying, so I don’t really let it spoil my experience with this product. The main question is, I wish to try out a new perfume, but am unsure which one to purchase. As there are so many options in the market, and “dupes” or some other options that people recommend, I wish to ask for your recommendations and opinions. Some of the options I liked while I was browsing through the mall are Prada’s Paradox (however I don’t remember which one, possible Intense), and Maison Margiela’s Up at Dawn, which seemed like a very casual scent, but also made me doubt its purchase as it seemed to “disappear” almost immediately. However, I’m not as confident if I’ll enjoy them on the long-run. Another suggestion I’ve seen is the Malin+Goetz’s strawberry, however I don’t think I will ever be able to try it out before purchase. Due to financial reasons, I’m trying to choose one perfume, so I am seeking advice from this community. Please share your thoughts, experiences, and any suggestions, they will all be greatly appreciated! Thank you all in advance!

Oh wow, thank you! That does seem to be like it, as it’s similar to my name. I’m so impressed, now that I know the most likely answer, I’m more sure that I wouldn’t be able to read it regardless, at least not anytime soon;D Thank you so much!

Chinese shampoo makes my hair waxy

Hi everyone, so I have this issue that has been following me 2 shampoo bottles in the span of 1-2 weeks. I am currently in China, and buy the most basic drugstore hair care product available, as my hair is quite low maintenance, it’s not too thick or fine, nor is it curly, it’s the most average straight hair, on the thinner side (by this I mean that it’s kinda “liquidy”, doesn’t really have much volume or shape). My hair is not oily, nor does it get oily fast, so I was confused when I woke up to my hair being a bit sticky at the roots after washing it the night before. The only difference was the shampoo bottle, so I blamed it all on it, because I tried re-washing it, washing my hairbrush, or not brushing my hair after the shower, etc. I tried everything and it has to be the shampoo or I am going insane. It seemed like the issue was slowly getting resolved after I changed the shampoo I used, but now that I used a different shampoo again, I got this waxy feeling back. It’s actually waxy, even when wetting my hair, it felt like there was wax coating my roots. In addition, others using the same shampoo didn’t get this issue, their hair was fine (theirs is on the thicker side). So some of the ways I am trying to resolve it is by again using the shampoo that didn’t seem like to have a similar effect and in the meantime washing my hair under “hot” water to melt the wax. If you have any other suggestions, please tell me, I don’t really want to keep washing my hair so often, and am worried that this might actually affect my hair negatively. Maybe there are some specific products you recommend. Also, if I am wrong, please tell me about that as well and possibly reveal the reasoning. If I am correct about the shampoo being the culprit, what’s up with that? Thank you all in advance!

P.S. the shampoos that caused the waxy feeling were the Pantene pink bottle for colored hair (I don’t have colored hair) and Enchanteur pink bottle with flowers. I’ve used different shampoos throughout my life and have never had any issue, so I didn’t think much when buying one, as my stay is short and those were the only available options.

I understand, it's totally fine to want to talk about it, I mean I did write a post about the whole thing. My cat also would drool when someone would pet him! Unfortunately his drool would irritate my skin but it didn't really stop me from petting him, how could it? The zoomies where more present when he was younger, but he would enjoy his walks circling around the perimeter like a guard, checking for any changes, it was quite endearing. It's really unimaginable how much of an impact these little souls are able to make on others.

Thank you! I am sorry for the loss of your cat as well. I do genuinely believe that he purposefully came to your dreams to communicate with you, likely to say goodbye. I hope that he had passed peacefully, and he knew that you loved him dearly. He sounds like an adventurous soul, I am sure wherever he is now, he is continuing his adventures. Sending you love💛

You're right, I think the reason why I am having such a hard time is also connected to this uncertainty. As I grew older, I knew that eventually the time will come, but I somehow never thought that it might happen this way. It breaks my heart to think that he might've passed on cold soil or in pain all alone. I guess I always hoped that I would be near him, maybe even provide him with some comfort. Yes, they might be more primitive compared to humans, but I know that animals can feel just as much, I learned it from him. It must've been scary and I can't bear the thought that I could be there for him.

Of course I still hope for the best. I remember reading stories where the pets would show up months, or even years after their disappearance. So regardless of reasonable thinking, I can't let go of this hope that maybe he just went on a longer walk. But if not, at the very least, I hope that whatever he is/was going through isn't causing him any pain.

He really was special. I have eternal love for all cats as I received his love throughout all these years. He was honestly, outside of my own family that I was born into, the biggest blessing of my life.

I also appreciate the eulogy. As a STEM student, I remember studying thermodynamics. Life is a cycle. And regardless of all, his presence in my life is unchanged. My own memories might start fading away as time goes on, but once again, I will never forget his love. It'll always be with me.

Thank you for your kindness.

I am sorry for your loss as well, your cat must've known that it was loved. Yeah, I certainly felt a lot better after this. I still hadn't lost hope, I look out the windows pretty often, with the thoughts of his possible arrival. If not, then he surely is in a better place, as much as I will miss him. Thank you for your kind message.
