They could have at least mixed some in the bottle.
This isn’t super original but it’s verrryyyy tasty.
12ct grilled chicken nuggets (200 cals), one packet of the honey roasted BBQ sauce (60 cals), and 2 slices of grillos (10 cals).
Comes out to 270 cals for the snack and it’s pretty filling. I pair it with the yogurt parfait without toppings for a meal. 😋
I only just recently reached rouge status so when I saw this on the app early I had to get it 😅 plus this is probably my favorite fragrance house rn and I’m obsessed with these scents. Was actually planning on buying full sizes of all of them bc I love them that much. But this scratched the itch and gave me more of each without spending close to $300 haha. The box was randomly scratched up but all of the product was inside!
I included a regular travel size for comparison 🤣 the minis are 10ml. And peep the travel size of ginger biscuit :3 I don’t think they had that last year or if they did I missed it. I’m super excited about this scent too.
Also I apologize I am terrible at taking photos lol
Plush Vanilla feels warm and fuzzy, like a cashmere sweater. Its sandalwood is subtle, and I can somehow pick out the sugar crystals..but cool, raw sugar, rather than syrupy sweetness. It’s the sugariest, the most linear, and simplest of the three. It makes me picture a literal, purple Care Bear (this might be the orange blossom talking). I go nose blind to it so quickly, though. It can also be a bit boring. The woodiness in this is dry and arid.
Vanilla Suede is brighter, sunnier, and more uplifting. The rice milk note gives it a little creaminess, while the woodiness sits closer to the surface, like pencil shavings, with an ambrox feel. The bergamot has a slightly tart edge that’s nostalgic for some reason I can’t quite place. I think it’s the most feminine, most flirty, and most powdery of the three. Feels playful and comforting at the same time. and its woodiness feels alive, like it’s still part of the tree. Worst longevity and projection of these though, becomes a skin scent almost immediately.
Mocha Magic is the creamiest and “spiciest” of the three. (In quotes, because none of these are spicy). Its woodiness runs deeper and is more resinous, with a clean muskiness that makes it feel warm, grounding, and more unisex. It’s the most musky of the three (it’s the DedCool DNA), and has the best longevity. I can smell it on myself all day. Where Vanilla Suede is living wood, Mocha Magic is wood that’s been warmed (but not smoky).
I’ve recently gotten into vanilla and sandalwood, and I love observing how the notes play differently with each other depending on what else is in the scent profile. I would recommend any of these for fall/winter and all are office safe!
I have been looking for that scent. The scent that makes me feel confident and successful. this is it!!! Absolutely gorgeous.
Influxious Gold Standard. Notes in comments.
Edit to add: this came FILLED TO THE BRIM with product. Very little air. She doesn’t short you like glossier or DedCool lmao
Lattafa Nebras Elixir, and then Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Salt. Both of them seem like half a perfume to me, so I thought I’d try them together. Ehhh 🤷♀️ don’t think I’ll be purchasing either. Vanilla Salt was a little more tropical than I’m currently feeling at the moment. The Nebras Elixir is definitely true to its notes imo. Smells like milk candy lol. Just feels like it’s missing something, but the sugar and heliotrope together is nice. I also feel like the woody notes in salt clashed with the elixir. The elixir is just a lot sweeter, and the salt is a tad more complex. Only a tad though.
My first month’s vial was shipped on Aug 6 Aug 3 and came on Aug 8 Aug 6. My second and third month vials were shipped together, got the shipping notification on Aug 26, got delivered this morning at 9:30 AM local time!! The ice packs were STILL FROZEN YALL. Completely frozen!!! The meds were cold!!! Love PreventiveMD and love Empower!!! Woohoo!!!
ETA: I had the first shipment wrong lol
I can finally change my flair guys. If I can do it you can! Chronic smoker for over 10 years with a partner who still smokes everyday!!! I seriously am so proud of myself. I don’t really have a lot of words to say but if you have any questions I’m happy to answer them.
Looking forward to the next 6 months. I’m actually excited about the future. Still taking it day by day though. Love this community!
I placed an order over the weekend and had my “asynchronous” provider review scheduled this morning at 0930 CST. when should I expect to hear back from my provider if I was approved or not?
Thanks
I’ve been wanting to try most of these for SUCH A LONG TIME and had no idea about decantika until recently!! I’m so glad I get to try all these for basically the price of one full bottle 😆
What are your favorites and which do you hate? I’m obviously really feeling gourmands right now LOL
Can someone explain to me how FoxNews is spinning this one? I don’t have the energy to look.
First is 2ct non-certified lab diamond. Second is 3.75ct certified lab diamond.
I originally bought the smaller one through a group buy, and was disappointed with the size. So I placed a separate order for a bigger stone. My original plan was to sell the smaller one. I have been enjoying wearing the bigger one. But after a while, I put the smaller one back on and now I think maybe that one is better for me?
Wanted to ask here bc I feel like most subs would tell me to keep the smaller one by default. Since these are both pretty flashy, I feel like this sub would be less biased 🤣
I plan on selling whichever one I don’t keep.

I’ve been tracking my progress with the I Am Sober app. It’s been helping me stay the course. I check the number almost everyday hoping it will give me a little dopamine hit lol.
It’s mostly just become background noise for me now. I have a partner who smokes everyday so it is always around. It made the first month or two extremely hard. I’m honestly really proud of how far I’ve made it.
The past week or so I’ve been feeling kind of down. There’s no particular reason really, I get this way sometimes. I call it my DepressionLite lol. It’s not unbearable, but it does make me a little vulnerable.
Okay I’ll stop rambling I’m getting to it. My husband is in sales and he’ll be away for most of the day today, my daughter is with her grandma. So I’m home alone. Just feeling kind of down and a little numb. A little bored. I look at our house that needs a lot of cleaning/organization and I feel overwhelmed. For a brief moment I think weed might help my motivation to clean. But honestly the chances of that are 50-50. I know I need to shower, and I have some errands to run. I’m also planning on making my friend ice cream for her birthday. It takes about 3 days to make.
But for some reason all I can think about is going out to our garage and taking a hit. 😩 the urge hasn’t been this strong in a while. I know if I do I will regret it though. I’ve been looking forward to my 6 month streak. I would be so disappointed in myself if I ruined it now. But DAMN it would just be so easy to do it.
What are some things that have helped you stay motivated to stay clean? My motivations are my daughter, my mental clarity and memory, which helps me be better at my job, and the absence of all consuming anxiety. But for some reason those reasons don’t feel strong enough for me right now.
Anyone who has used Rush before, what is your experience? I want to take advantage of this sale and get the phenol preservative but I have heard absolutely nothing from anyone about this pharmacy! 🤣 has anyone used them? LMAO
VS Tease Sugar Fleur and Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow if you wanna smell like a piece of candy, like starburst 😋
Ellis Brooklyn Queens Caramel and VS Tease Sugar Fleur if you wanna smell like a juicy, caramel apple
VS Tease Sugar Fleur and Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla if you wanna smell like juicy fruit gum 🍉
Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla and Glossier You Soie if you wanna smell like you just took a shower after being on the beach all day
Summer Fridays Sunlit Vanilla and Glossier You Doux if you wanna smell like you’ve been on the beach all day and you’re still salty from it 😋
VS Tease Creme Cloud and Kayali Yum Boujee Marshmallow if you wanna smell like a strawberry meringue dessert 🧁
VS Tease Creme Cloud and Kilian Princess if you wanna smell like afternoon tea cookies 🍪
VS Tease Creme Cloud and VS Day Dream idk how to put this one into words but it’s soft, delectable, airy, and, dare I say, dreamy 😴 clean, with just the right amount of sweetness
these may be a bit repetitive but I wanted to play around with a few core scents
I got Kayali Boujee Kitty Caramel Milk today (finally!) and I have to say I was a little disappointed. 🥲 it is almost too caramel-y for my taste. It is very rich, but also very linear.
I was already wearing Victoria’s Secret Tease Crème Cloud today. Which to me has always smelled like an ethereal fairy. Super soft, airy, and gives a weightless, clean feeling, with just a little sweetness at the end that compels me to sniff my arm all day 🤣
When I sampled the Caramel Milk, I kind of got whiffs of my Creme Cloud. So (surprise) I got the idea to try them layered.
And LET ME TELL YOU. I quickly realized that the result of this was what I was hoping Caramel Milk would be. They completely transformed each other. Crème Cloud gives the caramel more dimension and complexity (I think it’s the sandalwood flower), and Caramel Milk gives Crème Cloud a warm, decadent depth. It’s like Crème Cloud starts as a delicate fairy floating through the clouds, but the combination turns her into a mischievous, salacious fairy who just got caught sneaking pastries out of the cupboard and is leaving a trail of caramelized sugar behind her.
It is a very beautiful combination imo, and will make the purchase worthwhile, I think. I still prefer Ellis Brooklyn’s Queens Caramel more. That floral note in it (I’m assuming it’s the vanilla orchid) is just so delightful. But boujee kitty caramel creme cloud is pretty close ;)
If you have these, try them together and let me know what you think!!! Also I’m open to other ideas for layering the kayali, as I’m not sure I like it too much on its own.
Yall I have been in a plateau for a couple months now at 172 lbs. going up to 174 and down to 172 for a WHILE. I’ve been taking sema since February and had only lost about 12 lbs. finally decided to switch to Tirz a week and a half ago and I AM BACK BABY!!!! LETS GOOOOOOO
Which means I can finally place that order I’ve been delaying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
