My son just moved to the Stewart Apt and I would like to be able to send him Amazon parcels from time to time, is this even possible? How can it be delivered during the day if he is in class? I don’t trust leaving it at the entrance!
Other than Aghnam, these are all blind buys! I love gourmand but am trying to get away from marshmallow and more into different gourmand families, did I do well? Do they need to sit for a while?
Just started a new corporate job but the dress code is pretty casual (jeans are a thing… any day!). Any thoughts on this outfit? Are the shorts too casual? I haven’t seen anyone wearing shorts yet but the fabric is a nice linen so I am wondering if this works… how about the look in general? The top has a sateen feel to it, which you may not see on the picture.
I am 50 yo and I am honestly told that I look 10 years younger. I barely have any wrinkles on my forehead and around my eyes, my skin texture is pretty good. My problem area as you can see on the picture is my lower face and neck.
My routine invludes lots of Ordinary products (different routine am and pm) and RLT. However, while it really helps with the skin texture it has done zero for that area.
I am looking at this picture and I want to cry, while people often say that I look younger that picture to me looks 15 years older than I am!
Other and surgery, what could be done? I am not against fillers but in my experience they lasted two months and I am looking for something longer term.

I just bought it and from my reading, some people love it from the first spray (talking about mango and citrus) and others hate it at the first spray and let it mature a little... I am confused :) If I like it from the first spray, should I expect it to change much after a couple of months?
So I have been very successful with Mounjaro so far, started in April and already 32 pounds down. After struggling for years (and going through menopause) this almost seems too good to be true. I have almost no side effect, it stopped my alcohol consumption and I am just losing a couple of pounds every week with little effort (of course, I track my food, I walk a little every day but nothing crazy). I started thinking about the maintenance (still have another 35 pounds to go before I hit that) and I am already debating if I will continue or stop the meds. I am so afraid of going at it alone that I am thinking of continuing it... it is a med for life isn't it? I am so happy to see the pounds drop that I would be devastated to see it creeping back up should I stop the meds. At the same time, it seems strange to think that I will be on this meds for the rest of my life... I know I still have time to figure it out but was wondering if others have gone through this thinking process?
Well, this is it! I hit my first month today on Mounjaro! Here are the good things so far:
- 50 y F SW 250 CW 231.6 5'9"
- Lost 18.4 pounds (crazy, lots of water weight and inflammation, it will slow down I ma sure!)
- No desire for alcohol... this was a big surprise (I drank a lot before)... definitely helped with the inflammation and weight coming off so quickly (several bottles of wine a week add up!).
- Almost no joint pain... It used to hurt just standing up or getting out of bed, this is absolutely gone!
- I am diligent with my three balanced meals a day, making sure to get my fiber and proteine. I have little to no interest in snacks so I try to get all my macros with my meals. I take my vitamins every day. I drink at least 2 L of water a day, if not more... with electrolytes.
- My clothes are starting to feel big. I am tall so it takes a lot of weight to start to show but I can definitely feel it in my clothes already.
The not so fun part...
- I drink so much water that I wake up several times a night to pee... not fun as I have a hard time falling back asleep lol
- Again, because I drink so much water out of a straw, I started getting smoker's lines for the first time in my life! I need to get another water bottle with no straw!
I've had very little side effects other than the day after the injection where I get really tired (often have to take a nap)... no nausea, burping, etc.
My first month was a success, now on to the 2nd one!
I love light color clothes but I am terrible with getting them stained! Lately, a very nice wool cardigan came out of the wash with blue stains (maybe from jeans) and I could not for the life of me get it off (tried Shout, Resolve, even bleach...). I decided to get that $4 box of Rit Color Remover thinking I had nothing to lose and MAGIC HAPPENED! The stain totally disappeared without any damage to my wool piece! Seeing this, I decided to take out of my closet a nice pair of wide leg cream pants that I had been saving even if there were several stains on them (that never got out). I had even tried dying them darker but the dye didn't work out and was patchy. I kept thinking about those pants, not being able to find them anywhere (and they were also quite pricy but I was ready to spend that money to get another pair). Well, I got 2 boxes of Rit and got working... tried with one box which got the old dye out and 95% of the stains... but there was still one stain (right on the front of the leg) that wouldn't completely disappear. Again, I tried with bleach, dawn, baking soda, name it! Finally I thought - let's try the second box and see! Well sure enough, after 40 minutes it was GONE! I am so excited and I will always have that staple in my house from now on! It is so cheap and you can do several pieces in one pot (I even put my white sneakers and they came out looking brand new and that was after using it for my pants).
As I am getting into perfumes more and more (I have about 60 bottles), I am learning about notes, what I like and what I don't like. After doing a couple of blind buys, I am more careful about the various notes now (and doing a lot less of blind buys!!!). Some notes that will turn me off a perfume right away, even if I love all the other notes :
- Saffron - Leather - Rose - Ginger - Cinnamon - Bitter almond
I just increased my dose from 2.5 to 5 (took my shot on Monday) and yesterday and today I feel I could just fall asleep anywhere... is it the shot? I didn't get any of this when I first started so this really surprised me. I am drinking loads of water (at least 3L a day), eating my proteins first, good 3 meals a day with fiber... but I can't shake this tiredness this week. Wondering if this is just a symptom of getting up in the dosage or if it will last...
I have over 60 bottles of perfumes and perfume oils... I can change my scent 3 times a day (one time in the morning, one time when I get home from work and before bed)... I bought most of these since January so most of them are pretty full, I think the most used bottle has 1/4 out only. But I can't help but fear that I will use one up completely (especially those I get at Marshalls and Winners and that you have to buy when you see them because they may never get back)... what will I do when my Fig Fusion is gone? My Noted Vanilla Fleur? How will I survive? LOL I try to stretch them by making oil perfume (baby oil with a couple of sprays of the perfume), it has a lighter scent but does the job before bed when I want something lighter. But I really don't want to use it all up!
