Looking for ways to have amazing smelling soap cheap - think bath and body works seasonal scents at cheap prices

Hey folks! One of my wants is to have seasonal and amazing smelling soaps that I can switch out on my bathrooms mainly. But, I am not paying bath and body works prices for seasonal soaps. I have refillable soap dispensers and use Dollar Tree soap a lot in my bathrooms (and bulk boring antibacterial soap in my kitchen that dries out my hands like it’s their job lol). Unfortunately, my Dollar Tree doesn’t seem to have any seasonal smells outside of pumpkin spice. Any tips, sales to look out for, etc? Thanks!

Hey folks!

After several months of symptoms and doctors I was diagnosed with vestibular migraines. After more months of treatment with a high dose of Topamax, well, I’m still miserable lol and my symptoms seem to get triggered by EVERYTHING. I have baseline intermittent vertigo and dizziness but when I get triggered I get blurry vision, nystagmus, headaches/ migraine level headaches, I have a decent level of light and odor sensitivity, the vertigo and dizziness get so bad I can’t stand or drive or do anything, I can’t work or read or participate in life because it feels like I’m trying to hold on to the damn Earth. Dramamine helps with me not tossing my cookies but it doesn’t help with the actual symptoms at large or with how easily everything is triggered. I have a high stress job and I also have TMJ Disorder so I feel like those are not helping at all. I’m also just a high stress, anxious person so no matter what job I was in, I’d be this way lol.

Does anyone here struggle with Vestibular Migraines and have any tips and tricks for managing triggers or even managing symptoms when they occur?

Help - Vestibular Migraines and Light Sensitivity - How to adjust my screens

Hey folks!

I’m newly diagnosed with vestibular migraines after months and months of symptoms and doctor visits and light sensitivity is a major issue and screens seem to be a massive trigger for me. I spend hours and hours on screens a day for my job and went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how to try and make them migraine safe and ended up here. Even thought I’m young I need someone to explain all of this to me like I’m 5 lol. My staff make fun of me for how illiterate I am at tech for 31.

I have an iPhone 15, Microsoft surface pro latop, sceptre monitors, and an hp laptop I need to adjust. Also I work from home a majority of the time so any tips on setting up my work office lighting that has worked for y’all would be great!

(I’ll also take any other tips on any other migraine trigger advice you have because I literally have most of them and I’m struggling y’all lol)

Thanks so much!
