So I really wanted to add some vanilla perfumes to my collection (I only had the phlur vanilla skin body mist LOVE) and I heard amazing things about wylde ivy. This is my first indie perfume purchase. I purchased moon never beams and she was once so I'd have a creamy flormond vanilla and a lighter, airy vanilla for layering. I just received them today and they smell almost the same to me and not what I expected? They're not bad, just really strong and almost yankee candle like. She was once has some spicy element (I think the autumn air note) to it that definitely screams candle to me and moon never beams (which I prefer) is like a slightly softer, sweeter version of that without the spice. The alcohol smell at first is really strong as well. I kind of think I can't differentiate between them because of how strong they are at the moment.

I was just wondering whether I needed to let them sit and macerate for a bit to bring out their individual scent profiles? I have no experience with indie perfumes so I don't know what to expect but I've purchased 2 middle eastern perfumes that started off with a super alcohol blast but settled into great scents after I let them sit for a week. I'm hoping how strong they are right out the box is a great indicator for longevity or else I really don't wanna walk around smelling like straight 2010 yankee candle.

Any feedback would be great, especially if anyone has tried these scents!! :)

Hello, my dog has CHF and I suspect potentially is developing/has cachexia.

I've noticed she's lost some muscle in her shoulders and thighs recently, although her energy levels have remained the same (still enjoying her time in the backyard running and rolling in the grass) and she still has a hefty appetite (fed twice a day in the morning and night). She's 13 years old, so I'm guessing this is from a combination of age and her CHF. she's a jack russell chihuahua mix and about 18 pounds.

How can I best help her retain her muscle mass? I have a bottle of COQ10 (25mg) and also taurine (500mg) but I haven't given them to her since she's been put on her medicine regimen since I didn't want to disrupt the medications or overwhelm her system.

Would either of these help and would it be safe and effective for me to give them to her with her existing regimen? Is there anything, like a supplement (ex: omega 3), I can purchase to help that won't disrupt her current regimen?

She's been on these medicines for about a year and a half and is responding very well to them.

Her schedule:

1st in the morning (1 vetmedin, 2 furosemide, 1 sildenafil, 1 enalapril)

2nd, 7 hours later (1/2 spironolactone, vetmedin, sildenafil)

3rd, 2 hours later (1/2 spironolactone)

Last, 6 hours later (1 vetmedin, 2 furosemide, 1 sildenafil, 1 enalapril)

Any advice would help. Thank you!!!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I've been on a truly dismal job hunt for the past year or so and landed an interview for a GMP clean room microcleaner role. It seemed like a decent enough way to get some GMP experience and a foot in the door in the industry. The thing is I have a vague, general idea of what the entirely of this role entails.

Can anyone please share their experiences? Any advice interview wise, like questions they'd ask, would help.

Thank you!!
