Tat Recommendations please!

My kid LOVES tat. ALL the tat. 😂

I’d love recommendations please for the most irresistible tat that generates maximum pester power.

We’re thinking ears, shoulder toys, bubble wand, outfits etc., but I’d particularly love to know what your kids were absolutely obsessed with / what was worth buying.

Please keep this strictly to tat recommendations

We are happy with our own approach to spending/pocket money. Thank you.

Hit me with your best Disney tat! 🐭✨

‘Mrs / Ms’ Beauty Pageants rhetoric that they are all about sisterhood? Is this true?

I am struggling with this so can anyone enlighten me please? I just don’t see how comparing beauty standards / physique / ‘grace’ isn’t simply buying into patriarchy but masquerading as ‘sisterhood.’ I’m interested in perspectives on this as happy to be enlightened and my mind opened, but there is nothing true that I can see in this at all?

What I’m reading is they are suggesting that they are distinguishing themselves from children / women in their 20s by promoting women who wouldn’t usually take up these spaces. I just see monetisation of the need to remain visible.

Halloween Paris Bound / Outfit suggestions please?

Would like some advice for my LO & myself for Paris Halloween week. My understanding is the weather can be variable so you have to just prepare for everything.

Is it even worth bothering with a coat!?! TIA.

Inspired by another post: any of you actually have creepy experiences with Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris etc?

Rolf Harris singled me out from the audience at a show in uni fresher’s week and kept making creepy pervy comments, it seemed only some of the boys found funny.

When he was arrested, friends from back then contacted me immediately as it made them uncomfortable for me.

Funny thing, only recently told my Mum about it for the first time recently.

Obviously not enough to have gone to the police about.

I wondered how many other Brits had had creepy gross encounters with them and other celebs who were legends in the 80s? Or Americans with Cosby / Epstein etc?

Seeking Experiences: Plantar Morton’s Neuroma Excision in last 5 years

Has anyone had a plantar sole of the foot Morton’s neuroma excision?

My case was more complex—two neuromas were removed—so I’m especially interested in similar recovery experiences.

Questions:

Dressing Duration: How long did you keep a dressing on after stitches were removed?
Uncovered Comfort: When did you feel comfortable leaving it uncovered?
Walking Recovery: When did walking start to feel fairly normal?

Please Kindly Note
Looking for recovery experiences only, not opinions on plantar vs. dorsal approaches. Thank you!

Glorious summer fragrances with serious longevity please?

I’m looking for recommendations from people who’ve actually worn them, rather than another Google or Fragrantica list.
My absolute favourite in hot weather is Maison Crivelli Hibiscus Mahajád. On holiday it’s incredible: bright, floral-fruity, projects beautifully, and lasts all day.
I’m after fragrances that give a similar feeling: uplifting, summery, with excellent sillage and longevity. Floral and fruity are my happy place.
I’d also prefer BDS-friendly brands where possible.
What have you worn that genuinely made you think, “Wow, this performs”? Hidden gems especially welcome!

Post op family holiday advice please?

UK based.
Only just had my op 3 days ago. It got postponed after we booked annual leave which is in a month’s time.
My husband is desperate for a holiday and does not want to stay at home & enjoy the garden à la 2020!
We won’t book anything until after I go to dressing clinic in two weeks’ time, and if we go abroad, it will be short haul within Europe. We will request airport wheelchair assistance.
Not planning on anything crazy like a really active holiday, but wondered what people overall, who didn’t have complications found your recovery was like in terms of mobility 4 weeks later so we can plan? TIA.

Orphic Mysteries

I’ve only just really found out about this, as I always assumed the the story that Semele was Dionysus’ mother was the only one out there.

Persephone?

He’s possibly Phanos AND Zagreus and would have possibly even been Zeus’ heir?! Links with Shiva? I’ve heard that Greek Gods are probably stories descended of the Indus Valley civilisation but didn’t know this at all.

I find this fascinating. Please do point me to some good sources I can read more that are not Wikipedia lol.

Barrier repair / hydrating face mists?

I’m due to have surgery soon and going to be laid up mostly in bed for a few days, so looking forward to a few bits and pieces for self care in the days afterwards.
Would like to purchase a decent facial mist. I’ve bought Avene and Elf in the past and been a bit meh. Are there any people would recommend please?

Tendre Poison

Had a flashback over how much I used to love this fragrance. Long discontinued. I don’t want to buy a dupe.

Is there anyone who remembers this, with its delightful blend of green / spice / floral / amber / musk? Does anything exist now that evokes it? Bonus points if niche / small brand please rather than big labels.

Day case surgery

Silly question alert.
I’ve been sent instructions to bring pyjamas for post op after I have a Morton’s neuroma and bursa excision soon.
Won’t it be really hard to put pyjamas on over my foot? Would I not be better to bring a dress?
The aim is I will be going home on the same day.

Watermelon fragrances please

Viva La Vida: painted by Frida on her death bed. Watermelon is one of my favourite summer scents. Can anyone recommend please?

Most adults are surprisingly boring, regardless of how much money they have.

It’s not about being unable to afford things. Plenty of people have the time and money to go somewhere new, try a hobby, visit a new place, see a show, explore a nearby town; or just do something different occasionally.

Instead, they seem happy doing the same things week after week, year after year. Same places, same routines, same conversations.

I feel increasingly that curiosity, or even a sense of fun & adventure might be much rarer than people like to admit?

Coffee shop candles but not too much vanilla

Despite loving a good Victoria sponge cake, and ice cream, my husband hates any whiff of vanilla in candles. I’m not a fan of strongly gourmand vanilla perfumes tbh either.

However, I’d really like a nice boutique coffee shop fragranced candle, if such a thing exists, minus vanilla. I want to smell a good double shot espresso with dark chocolate, or brown sugar, maybe cinnamon… Can anyone advise please? I want to smell luxury coffee shop without leaving the house, or baking, or drinking caffeinating after 3pm! X
