Has anyone taken steroids like prednisone for pain? Did they help,and did you notice any effect on your immunity? Also, were there any side effects? I'd appreciate hearing about your experience.
I've been wearing Jean Lowe Fantasme recently, and overall I think it's a very good fragrance. It smells high quality, fresh, and versatile.
My main issue is the neroli. It's quite prominent and tends to dominate the scent profile, especially in the opening. I like neroli, but in this case it feels a bit too strong and overshadows some of the other notes.
Performance-wise, I'm getting around 6 hours of longevity, which is decent. I've put the bottle away for maceration and I'm hoping the scent blends better and the performance improves over time.
I got some closure recently, and it has been one of the hardest things I've ever gone through.
I was in love with a woman who was 6 years older than me. Before I introduced her to my family, my parents always said they'd be okay with whoever I chose. But when the time came, they refused to accept the relationship because of the age difference. I tried many times to convince them, but nothing changed.
What hurts the most is that she was one of the kindest and most mature people I've ever known. Even when I was the one at fault, she'd often be the first to apologize. She always put my happiness before her own, cared deeply about me, and constantly wanted the best for me.
One thing I'll never forget is how much she worried about me. I have a habit of isolating myself when I'm stressed. Last night I was exhausted, put my phone on flight mode, and fell asleep. She texted me a couple of times. When I finally replied around 5 AM, she was still awake, worried that something had happened to me.
After making sure I was okay and we had a general talk with two of us how things would work, she told me with very heavy heart to block her and she might be crying at that time for sure. She said she'd pray that I find a good spouse, told me to take care of myself, and said goodbye. I blocked her, and then I cried more than I have in a very long time.
I don't know what the future holds, but if there's one thing I'd like to say, it's this: please don't give someone false hope or play with their emotions if you aren't sure about the future. The pain of losing someone who genuinely cared for you is something I wouldn't wish on anyone.
I hope she's happy and finds all the love and peace she deserves.
TL;DR: Fell in love with a woman 6 years older than me. My parents initially said they'd accept whoever I chose, but later refused to accept our relationship. She was one of the most caring, mature, and selfless people I've ever known. Last night, after worrying about me all night because I didn't reply, she told me to block her, prayed that I'd find a good spouse, and said goodbye. I blocked her and broke down crying. Please don't give someone hope if you're not sure you can be with them—heartbreak hurts more than most people realize.
Just picked up Rayhaan Pacific Aura and wow... this might be the best fresh fragrance I have ever smelled.
Its bright, clean, aquatic and incredibly refreshing without smelling like a typical shower-gel scent. The quality feels way above its price point and I cant stop sniffing it.
I was getting bored so thought of giving a try to the so called nuclear perfume which most of the reviewer says. I went out and sniffed the Lattafa Atlas and next day i bought it. Damn, the opening is soooo intense and the dry down, jeeez!!!!. I sprayed today 8 in the morning and I could still smell it 8 in the evening. The only thing I could say which i felt bad is too much of seaweed smell, apart from that its banger for the price.
Just now i bought this bottle. Outside the box the batch number is M05- 250S02040 but on the bottle its written as M05- 250802040
Kya din the woh...
Jab sab saath hote the,
Na koi gham tha, na koi fikr hoti thi.
Ab daulat to hai,
Par dil khaali-khaali sa hai,
Apne hote hue bhi
Koi kisi ke saath nahi.
Guy or girl, doesn’t matter just bored and looking to talk about anything.
Been stuck in my own thoughts all day and could use a random conversation to reset my brain a bit. Could be about literally anything like life stuff, unpopular opinions, games, movies, travel, conspiracy theories, dumb stories whatever.
Let’s skip the small talk — what’s on your mind lately
I’ve been feeling really strange today. I was sitting alone and suddenly got hit with this heavy sadness out of nowhere. I ended up crying even though I can’t point to one specific reason.I usually keep things to myself but today it became too much to hold in quietly. It just felt like I am all alone in that moment.
It’s one of those nights where I don’t really feel like sleeping yet. Thought it’d be interesting to talk to random people about literally anything.Just looking for genuine conversation and good vibes.
I had a friend who was genuinely one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. He always helped everyone around him paying for food, helping poor people, checking on me after I moved abroad and luckily we two were in the same country and same city as well its just he came 1 year before me and mine was unexpected, even helping me get into my current career field. Honestly, he has a huge heart.
But the issue was that he spent money very carelessly and never saved. Slowly he started borrowing money from me almost every month. He always returned it, and I never asked questions, but it became too frequent and started bothering me because I felt he was wasting money unnecessarily.
Because of this, I slowly distanced myself and we haven’t spoken in 6 months. He moved back to India in January, and now I genuinely miss him and feel bad that I didn’t even wish him during festivals.
I don’t know if I did the right thing. Should I reconnect with him and talk honestly about what bothered me?
Today's Jumu'ah khutbah about mothers really got to me emotionally.
It was one of those reminders that makes you think about everything our mothers quietly do for us every single day. The sacrifices, the constant worrying, the patience, the duas, the support we sometimes take for granted because it feels "normal."
The Prophet saying that a person's mother deserves the greatest companionship three times before the father
Walked out of the masjid feeling grateful, reflective, and honestly a bit emotional. Hug your mothers, call them, make dua for them, and appreciate them while you can.

Honestly i would remove the pressure of doing super lavish weddings and spending ridiculous amounts of money just to impress relatives and society.
Half the expenses feel unnecessary and many families end up stressed or in debt for a one-day event. Simple, happy weddings with close people around feel much more meaningful to me.
Thought I’d make a random post and see who’s around. If you’re scrolling with nothing to do, come say 👋
Has anyone recently flown with Emirates from Mumbai and had their cabin/hand baggage weighed at check-in or the gate? I m trying to understand how strict they are about handbag weight enforcement from Mumbai specifically. Did they actually weigh your carry-on/personal item, and if so, how strict were they?
