I made a post previously asking for what discovery/trial sets would be nice to start with. I kept looking for options, reviews etc nd it was all mixed. Some sets had just one scent that I'd like and others were not very clear for me.

Somehow landed up on these options to try. I like Vanilla, coconut, lemon/citrus, strawberry (not too strong), cool ocean/aqua and milky scents.

Pls share reviews or better alternatives with similar price range for the products!

Thank u:)

I've never really given much thought to perfumes and am finally trying to get something that suits me and actually lasts. I've only used Engage and Wottagirl before, which were super cheap and obviously didn't last very long 😭

I don't want to spend too much at once and then regret it if I don't even like the fragrance, so I'm looking at discovery/trial sets (mostly 2ml) under ₹700.

For context, I usually like: Vanilla, Coconut, Milky/creamy scents, Lemon/citrus, Jasmine, Strawberry (as long as it's not too strong or overly fruity)

Not a big fan of chocolate, and lavender usually gives me a headache.

I've seen very mixed reviews about the Plum Vanilla perfume. I have their Vanilla body oil nd found the scent quite artificial and it doesn't last long, so I'm a little sceptical about trying the perfume.

Also, I won't be going out much, so I can let the perfumes macerate and I'm expecting to use these pretty sparingly. I already have a big Wottagirl bottle that I need to finish, and it's a very fruity scent, so whatever I buy now would mainly be for special occasions rather than everyday use.

So if there's any other discovery/trial set under ₹700 that you think would be better suited to my preferences, please suggest it! I'm also open to attar or perfume oil trials/miniatures if there are good options under ₹700.

Would really appreciate recommendations from people who've actually tried these!

We’re repainting our house and, while clearing things out, found a lot of crockery items that were given as wedding gifts. These were the ones separated to be thrown away, but I really don’t like the idea of wasting them 😭 I’d rather repurpose them into decor or something useful.

This is what I’ve planned so far:

• Tiny cups: I’m thinking of using them for succulents or other tiny plants.
• Bowls: Probably planters too, but I have quite a few, so I’d love ideas for other ways to reuse them.
• Glass plates: THIS is where I’m completely stuck 😭 I know I could use them as storage/trinket trays, but I already have enough repurposed containers for that. I was thinking of using one as a painting palette, but I’ll still have 4–5 more. I also have no idea what to do with the glass tea cups.
• Trays: I’m thinking of using two for mosaic art. For the last tray with the pretty border, I’m thinking of painting something on it and using it as wall decor.

Please share reference pictures, tutorial links, etc. so I can actually see how it’s done!

I especially need ideas for the glass plates, because I really don’t want to break or throw them away if there’s something cool I can make with them!! 🥹

Found all of these old dishes, cups, trays while cleaning & I don't want them to end up in the trash 😭 There aren't really any thrift shops or places around here where I can send them, plus my uncle/aunt would probably just throw them away.

I'm thinking of DIYing/upcycling them into something useful or decorative.

Getting new storage containers and other kitchen stuff to finally replace all the random old bottles/containers we’ve been using 😂

Looking for good-quality, airtight sets for:

• Spices/masalas
• Pulses/dal
• Fridge storage (vegetables, fish etc)

I’ll be buying from Amazon, Flipkart or Meesho, whichever is cheaper, so please share links to products you’ve personally used and liked. Preferably something budget-friendly with good reviews rather than just something that looks nice!

Also open to recommendations for other kitchen essentials that genuinely make life easier.

Please drop the links if you have them!

I found this broken car side mirror , and instead of throwing it away, I wan to turn it into something.

I have some air-dry clay, so my first thought was to make a frame around the mirror.

But I'd love more ideas! What else could I do with it? Any creative DIYs or upcycling projects that I can try?

I've been thinking of getting this but wanna know if it's a good purchase before I buy it. Please share reviews if you've tried this out:)

I've been thinking of trying a few products from these brands and wanted to hear some reviews before I place an order.

I'm especially want to know about:

• Juicy Chemistry: the Orange Deodorant Stick
• Bare Necessities: Solid deodorant tins & soaps

If you've tried anything from either of these brands, I'd love to know your favourite products nd anything that's a definite skip?

Feel free to recommend other products from them too!

I've been cutting my own hair for a while now, and it's a mix between a butterfly cut and a wolf cut. I have 2A/2B wavy hair, and honestly, leaving it open is the only hairstyle that consistently looks good on me. On good hair days, my waves come out really beautifully, and even when it gets a little frizzy, I don't mind the look.

However, I'm getting bored with wearing it down almost everytime :(

The only other hairstyle that suits me is a half-up, half-down style. I've tried things like front braids, but they just don't look right on me. I also have pretty thin hair, so anytime I braid it, the lack of volume becomes really obvious, the braids end up looking quite flat. When I wear it down, though, the layers and waves make it look much fuller.

I'd love to experiment with different hairstyles, but I'm not sure what would actually work with my haircut and hair type.

Pls share any updos, half-up styles, twists, or other hairstyles that look good on thin, wavy hair with layers. Would love it if they're fairly easy to do!

I'd love to hear your suggestions or see photos/videos if you have any inspiration.

Thank u:)

My uncle is planning to repaint his house, and the second AI-edited image is the colour scheme he currently likes. The third one is ok-ok for now.

Before finalising it, we'd love to explore a few more options to see if there's an even better combination.

What colour combination would you recommend for this house? If possible, please mention specific shades (or paint codes/brand colours) or share reference images.

Thanks in advance! We'd really appreciate your suggestions. :)

I'm looking to redecorate this room, but I don't have the budget for painting walls or making major changes. The furniture is veryy old, but it's sturdy and in really good condition.

I enjoy DIY projects and can do a bit of painting/crafting, so I'm open to creative ideas rather than buying new things.

One idea I have is turning the wooden frame near the bed into a dual-purpose bulletin board of sorts (Second image for reference):

• The side facing the desk would be for study notes, reminders, etc.
• The side facing the bed would be for artwork, posters, photos, or things I've made.

Given the current setup, what would you change first? Looking for DIY decor ideas, room-layout suggestions, or anything else that could make the room feel a lil more cozy and personalised without spending much money.

Need sunscreen stick recs that are:

• non-greasy
• no white cast
• sweat resistant (my forehead + upper lip sweat a LOT 😭)
• budget friendly
• good for normal to combination skin

Please share your affordable favourites that actually stay on in humid weather without melting off.
