2023.06.07 14:17 ayyygeeed Looking for perfume recommendations!
I’m not sure if this is the right place but when I tried to find a perfume subreddit I just discovered there is a kpop group called perfume lol.
I never wear perfume but I thought it would be a cute idea to get a new perfume and cologne for my fiancé and me for our wedding and honeymoon. Smell is the sense most strongly associated with memory so I thought it would be fun to have these scents that remind us of the best week ever :)
That being said, when I try to google like “best perfumes for beach honeymoon” it gives me a lot of recs for tropical smelling perfumes which include coconut, tropical fruit scents, etc, which are not my favorite.
I’m looking for something light and romantic with floral scents, my favorite candle scents are like gardenia, peony, lavender, etc. and my budget is ~$50-$100.
When I go to Ulta or Sephora and try and smell everything I get a headache and everything starts smelling the same so I’m hoping to narrow it down a bit before I go sniffing.
TIA! :)

2023.06.07 14:16 TheConkyConk Want to change my training style.. Looking into HIT
Hey guys, I've been following a uppelower hitting each body part twice a week routine for a year or so now, I've made some good gains but want to switch it up. I've been watching a lot of Mike Mentzer and dorian yates and I've come to the conclusion that I definitely want to try this low volume, high intensity style of training.
Now where I'm confused is what training routine is the best to apply this to? I've always been under the impression that you need to hit a muscle twice a week as a natty for better growth, is this not the case? I've looked at mentzers heavy duty routine and it does sound ideal for me but I'm worried about not hitting the muscles enough with the huge rest periods.

2023.06.07 14:15 NOTeRcHAThiO England - ‘DWP has responded to your PIP appeal’ confusion
I have appealed my PIP decision with a view to taking it to a tribunal. I’m past the MR stage and in my appeal, I used about 8000 words collectively to challenge each ‘activity’.
Last week I received a letter (and text and email) stating:
“DWP has sent a ‘Response’ to your PIP appeal. You should have received a copy in the post. The Response should contain all the relevant information DWP have about you. It includes the information they used to make their decision on your entitlement to the PIP.”
The way this is worded, to me at least, suggests I should be expecting this ‘Response’ in the post and I should have it by now - but it is yet to arrive.
With this confusion, I phoned up the PIP helpline today and second time lucky (after being cut off immediately as someone answered), I spoke to a man, who checked with his manager, and they said there is nothing else to expect in the post, other than the tribunal date when that is decided. They said they had no record of sending me anything else.
This all seems a bit strange, and I’m concerned I will go to the tribunal without some key information.
Have I been told correctly? Hopefully so, as I don’t want to go on the phone again.

2023.06.07 14:15 Winter_Patience9623 unless you have a reactive dog you don't understand
my dog is fear reactive. i did everything by the book when i got him at around 9 weeks old, we went outside, we watched people, and i did R+ when we'd see people but unfortunately some dogs are just going to be reactive. i train my dog twice daily, we go on a long walk and i take treats w us everytime. he has improved so much the past 3-4 months, he went from barking at everyone we passed to finally seeing someone and looking to me for a treat. he still barks and cowers when meeting new people but i cant force him to do anything so i try to let the person and give them treats to feed him and he's usually calm after 5-10 mins of barking. i'm so so proud of my little tiny baby and the progress he has made. what makes me upset is everyone around me thinks he's a bad dog that just needs training. even my best friend will make ignorant remarks like "take him training" "you're not doing enough" etc and it's really upsetting because i'm currently unemployed and she knows i cant afford a proper trainer and that i spend hours researching and about an hour each training walk to help him. random strangers will give me dirty looks because he usually just barks at people( if they are walking a dog he'll be okay sometimes bark at the owner but 90% of the time he doesn't and he's also very good with other dogs just scared of people)some dogs are naturally this way according to my vet and behaviorist. it's just so frustrating when we're both doing our best but people are so judgemental, like what do you gain from telling me to get a trainer or giving my dog a nasty look?

2023.06.07 14:15 Advanced-Device-1595 (M4F) Tears of the Kingdom: Love in Hyrule (Purah, Zelda, Riju)
Hello hello! Thank you for checking out my post! I've been massively engrossed in Tears of the Kingdom over the past few weeks. It's easily one of the best games I've ever played, and I can't see myself putting it down any time soon! All of this time spent in Hyrule though has made me want to try and do a roleplay based around it!
I've no trouble playing as Link, but in terms of scenarios and other characters, we have many options to choose from! We could have the roleplay be set before the events of the game, and have a cute romance between Link and Princess Zelda form! Or even after the game too, where they decide to finally settle down!
Another option would be with Purah! I loooove her design in this game, and I think doing a pairing with her and Link, or another Hylian male could be very fun, especially with all her wacky contraptions and ideas!
Finally, Riju is the last female I can think of that would work well with Link. Urbosa is also an option but she wouldn't really work given the time setting. However, I'm totally down to work around all of these ideas and ships and come up with the best roleplay possible with you!
Now I guess it's time for a little about myself! I've been roleplaying for close to 8 or 9 years at this point, which really doesn't feel that long. I'd say that I'm at least literate, thankfully! You'd like to think so after all this time! I usually aim for around 2 solid paragraphs at a minimum per post, but I will always be able to match my partner! My main place to roleplay is on Discord. I loooove OOC talk! Getting to know my partner is a key part of any roleplay relationship! My job is pretty lax too, so I'm usually always free to at least chat, if not flat out roleplay unless I'm sleeping!
I'm also in the GMT timezone, but I'm very flexible and usually always available, so timezone differences don't matter much to me!
And...that's it, I think! If you've gotten this far, thank you again for sticking with me. Please, if you're interested, send me a message and I'll reply to you as soon as possible! I hope to hear from you soon!

2023.06.07 14:15 mohaganyrose Weight loss help
I’ve been working out since February and I seem to see very little to no changes in my weight. I go to the gym 3 -4 times a week for about an hour and a half. I also cut out sodas, fried foods, sugar, and try to stay low carb as possible and stick to healthy fats. I went to my yearly gynecologist appointment a few days ago and the scale only showed maybe a few pounds difference from where I started smh. I first assumed that maybe I weighed more than I thought when I began ( I do not have a scale yet, just ordered it) so that could be a factor, but I still find my journey to be very slow. I’ve been doing some research about PCOS diets and the best exercise routines, but can anyone share their experience or give me advice or pointers? I’d appreciate it

2023.06.07 14:15 CommercialOil906 Thinking of calling it quits with a friend
I'm friends and classmates in college with Jan. We met during 1st year but only became close friends by 3rd year. Although he's fun to hang out with, he's a dogshit groupmate.
To give you an overview of why he's so dogshit:
- He crams. so. much. I'm a crammer too but he's literally different level. He'd only work on the day of the due date of ANYTHING.
- For our research paper, he was assigned to digitalize a simple organization chart. The information and layout were ready; all he had to do was make a digital copy. It took him three weeks. And I had to remind every week.
- I was groupmates with him for another class. It was a busy week so my group and I had to do it overnight. He was only assigned to do the introduction and conclusion. But he didn't. I did. He said he was "planning to do it in the morning" at around 10am. The deadline was at 11am.
- We had a simple essay paper due at 11pm. He started working at 8pm. When I ran his work through the plagiarism checker, ALL of it was plagiarized. I had to do it all again.
- We had two deadlines super close to each other, so we decided to split up the work: I'll do Paper A while he does Paper B. I busted my ass for Paper A; formulations, validations, and the majority of the writeup was my work. He did like 2 or 3 paragraphs (he did this 2 hours before the deadline) and reformatted the information given into another table (pretty much just copy pasted it). I would've been okay with it because I thought he was doing Paper B. Nah, he started doing Paper B on the due day. It was also super crammed.
- He was chosen as the leader for our research group by random. Everything we did was crammed. The information we needed was always given 2 days before the deadline. And the output we were able to make was all wrong. He fed us the wrong information to go with.
Let me clarify that I made the effort to talk to him about his performance every time. And his replies are always "i know you're mad and you don't want to talk to me, but i admit that i did wrong. i'll do better now even if you don't want to believe it. im still open to talking if you want to" At this point, all my patience is gone. Whatever reason he has, whatever is going on with his life—I don't think I can bring myself to care anymore. This has been happening the whole year, and according to my batchmates, he was like this at the very start. As a friend, he's also a little ehhhh. There's a lot of instances where he distances himself from me. His boyfriend told me it was trust issues, so he willingly distances himself from other people. That part kinda broke me; I put effort in this friendship, but it turns out to be one-sided? Sorry for the long post. It felt good to let it all out. If you have any opinions or advice, go ahead.

2023.06.07 14:14 aminimalistmother Confused
Hey, on 2016 I lost custody of my first born. The child went to their dad on a Supervision order for a year and then a Child and Family Arrangement Order.
What does the Child and Family Arrangement Order actually mean?
His dad makes the day to day decisions BUT together, we can make the other decisions with the dad overriding them.
It says we can review supervision and contact after the first year of only being 6 x year and supervised by the PG.
Well, PG supervising didn't happen. Which I ain't happy with. But oh well I guess.
Anyway, we now have 1 x 4-6 hours a week contact and it's still supervised but with the dad. Who I don't get on with. And who accuses me of a lot of crazy BS.
I have full custody, on my own, with a 18mo. We have a SO until January. We did a year in a parent and child foster placement. We passed all the assessments. We have been home since December.
Every change (mostly mental illnesses and boundaries) they asked me to do 7 years ago, I have done.
I had a new diagnosis since and I'm proven to be fully stable.
So what can I do?
can I ask to be down as an emergency contact for school? can I ask to progress to unsupervised? neither of which, dad is allowing, because son doesn't want too.
but then, son has never not known time with me without his dad, so why would he want any difference?
idk.
any help before I fill in a c100/speak to a solicitor would be very helpful!
professional experience preferred, from a teacher or from anyone else.

Has anyone had an their stomach/digestive system just like stop working? For some context, I’ve been in a flare for a good few weeks and at first I had awful diarrhoea, for about a week. Then I was extremely backed up, I tried all the usual things that make me poop and nothing worked for almost a week. I’m just getting myself some laxatives now. Eating and drinking is coming so painful I cry. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 💜

2023.06.07 14:14 27junior Is it possible to get pregnant through fingering
I had foreplay with my girlfriend on May 20; she gave me a blowjob before I fingered her. I have trouble recalling if I touched the tip of my penis. She did, however, start her period the day after the foreplay. She said yesterday that she shivered after eating, then vomited. It is stated that pregnancy symptoms appear between one or two weeks. I am now anxious

2023.06.07 14:14 nemotiger Erections after adding an antiandro... It'll stop right?
So... I have been on single therapy low dose estrogen for a year and no erections. It was so nice! And now... i was prescribed this and now 2 days after, I've already had 2... (I know for some people erections aren't super painful, but they are for me.)
I plan on trying it for 2 weeks and if these don't stop I'm probably gonna stop taking that again. I know that technically it's not as bad not as the dehydration of the diaraetic one but still...These are eventually gonna stop right?

2023.06.07 14:14 EnvironmentalDirt880 Reconstructive surgery- recovery time? Please weigh in!
Hi everyone! I’m scheduled for my reconstruction in July. It will be an exchange of tissue expanders to silicon implants. What can I expect in terms of recovery? I took 6 weeks off for my mastectomy and honestly my recovery felt brutal. When I went back I was still in pain. I’m told this one is much faster but can you tell me how long you stayed out of work, when you were able to work out and lift your arms again and load your children in the car etc? Or hang out with friends? I’d love to know, thank you so much!

2023.06.07 14:13 sunliu94 advice please
me and my gf have been dating for almost 4 months. during the school year, we were both busy, especially her because she wanted to take her LSATS, which we both know is a huge deal. However, despite her busy schedule, we never had issues and still spent time tg nearly every day. we started long distance on May 22nd due to the summer ( i live about 3 hours from her). before LD, we have a convo and agreed to try it out, and that we would talk about any problems we had. we also discussed communication styles before and after LSAT and came to an agreement. For the past 3 weeks, LD hasnt been too bad, we texted everyday, facetimed every week, and nothing seemed to be going wrong. However, she did become a little more distant a few days prior to this event (i will get into it), still texted me everyday and not dry, just not as frequent. I called her on Sunday night to tell her ive been feeling this way, but that it was not something I wanted to make an issue bc i knew her LSAT was this week and i know she is stressed AF. We had a small talk, and when i asked her if she wanted to say anything, she hesitates, and says somehting along the lines of "i think i have something on my mind but it has to wait until after the LSAT." naturally, i freaked out a little. During our back and forth, here are the important details: 1) it is not a positive thing, 2) she wants to make sure the LSAT isnt messing with her, 3) it would require a long call, 4) she cant exactly put it to words. At that point, as an overthinker, I thought she was going to dump me. So i told her "if its what im thinking i would rather not get strung along." at the end, she said "you are not getting completely strung along..." and after that i kind of blanked out bc i just got so confused.
Im mostly just upset bc she spilled this information on me and then refused to talk about it. During the call, I asked her if she needed space this week to properly think, she said she didnt and that she would not mind me texting her still. however, I still thought it would be nice to give her at least a little space, so the day after the call, I gave her space the entire day, and at night i texted her how her day went, this is how the convo went:
me: "how was your day"
her: it was alright. how about you
me: honestly not too good, ive been worried about the convo from last night. but work went well.
her: thats nice.
Tell me if im being dramatic, but i thought her response was very cold. She never texts that dryly, and i know she knows that it was not a good response. My thinking is thats her way of putting her foot down and telling me she does not want to talk about it, however, I dont think me telling her the truth about my day was a bad thing, nor was i trying to get an info out of her. I just wanted to be vulnerable with her, plus i didnt want to LIE and say my day was great when I was a mess at work and at home. Its Wed now, and we still have about 2-3 days before she actually tells me whats going on. We did not text all day yesterday. At this point, Ive grew numb, and just told myself to prepare for the worst. But I wanted to know if i should still hold onto some hope.

2023.06.07 14:13 aiodo97 Rabies Jab
Hiii, I am just looking for some advice as I am driving myself crazy.
I was in a shop in Phuket and there was a kitten on the floor, I was stood near it chatting to my partner when it nipped me on the ankle. It did not make me bleed or break my skin so I didn’t think much of it, it just wanted attention and was being playful.
However a few days later I saw a tiktok about rabies (silly I know 🤣) and scared myself to death, especially as I had a small mosquito bite in that area prior to the kitten. I went to a clinic and they gave me rabies and tetanus jab and antibiotics for just in case. I contacted my GP and planned the next 4 vaccines too. My partner thinks I have over reacted (which I probably have!) but now i’m panicking like crazy! Did I leave it too long? Should I be worried? Has anyone else been in this situation as I can’t find much info about it online. Thank you :)

2023.06.07 14:13 Suitable_Working8918 My friend is basically in a healing cult
So my childhood best friend slowly drifted away from our friend group and basically joined a cult or what feels like a cult. I am so tired of having to watch what I say around her and as a group we are just letting go.
It started with theta healing and yoga which was ok, it wasnt fully consuming her. But now it's getting dangerous like refusing medical intervention when needed (infection etc), literally poking themselves with frog poison and hallucinating, going into the desert with people she barely knows and in very very secluded deserts (my country is basically a desert). I'm tired of worrying about her, been trying to hold on to her for 5 years now and im drained. We decided as a group that we no longer will put in effort in the friendship, but I'm afraid she will go and do even more dangerous things that might end up with her getting severely hurt.
I dont want to get my personal problems with her to cause me to make a harsh decision, she tends to always have me disappointed. My baby and I were hospitalized for meningitis and I didnt hear a word from her not even a text just an I miss you text a few weeks later. That was when i felt like giving up on her.
What is something I can do in this situation? Anytime we gave her advice she would drift farther away.

2023.06.07 14:13 q-kambi What I would have told my younger self
I was feeling a little reflective today and went through old records of my university days. At the beginning, I didn't drink, and I didn't really like being around those who did because of how stupid they acted. During my sophomore year, I drank occasionally, but it was nothing out of the ordinary. My grades were great. But by the time I studied abroad the second semester of my junior year, my drinking had quickly accelerated and I was scaring myself.
After coming back, things only got worse. A combination of poor mental health and heavy drinking led to abysmal grades. One semester I even failed all my classes. I had tried going on SSRIs, seeing a counselor, etc., but I wasn't being honest with anyone, not even myself. I did not graduate on time. I did not graduate until several years later.
I carried around this shame for many years. Why did it take me basically 8 years to graduate college, including two years "in the wilderness" and another year and half cobbling together the final credits? I can even feel some shame typing it all out now; I've carried it around for so long.
Today, I put everything in a spreadsheet, and imagined an alternate universe where my life hadn't been derailed because of drinking. Instead of all those courses I failed due to nonattendance, I withdrew from them. Instead of C's and D's, I gave myself A's and B's. Looking at that final imaginary GPA was nice, but then I realized it didn't matter.
My life would have been totally different to what it is now, one of an infinite combination of possibilities. But the truth is, I'm really happy with where I am now. I was able to stop drinking. I've definitely become someone my 22-year-old self would have been proud of. Those grades don't mean anything now.
Instead, I started thinking what I would have told my younger self. It's ok to feel the way you're feeling. What you're going through is nothing at all unusual. You don't need to feel ashamed, fearful of judgment from doctors, counselors, people near to you. You don't have to do it alone. It's gonna be ok.
I would tell myself there are plenty of people going through the same thing, and many have gotten better. If you really give yourself a chance, you have a good shot. What that looks like is up to you; there are a myriad of ways. But the self-isolation and the hiding and the trying to deal with it on your own isn't working, and it probably isn't going to fix itself that way. In the end, there may not be any clear "reason" why you drink the way you do, but the good news is that reason might not even be the important part. The important part is that you can get through this and it's gonna be ok.

2023.06.07 14:12 werifesteria-vibes Super senior cat vomiting multiple times
Hi all, I'm hoping for a bit of perspective regarding my cat (approximately 17-19 years, neutered male American shorthair, about 10 lbs). I'm in NY but not the city.
He has hyperthyroidism and started on twice-daily Methimazole Anhydrous (5mg) about 2 weeks ago. He also gets twice daily 5mg milk thistle, and once daily Cosequin in his food (dry kibbke wet with water in the morning and 11+ senior food with some kibble at night), and is getting Solensia treatments monthly after a month on once daily liquid Gabapentin 5mg.
Last night, his right ear seemed to be bothering him and he was walking around with his head low and his ear cocked, but he let me take a look at it and it seemed to go away. I found a spot sometime later of brown liquid vomit, about the the color of melted chocolate. It was the only spot like that that I've ever seen.
This morning, within the span of about an hour, he's thrown up four times: once with a small hairball and yellow bile, once with yellow bile, once lightly tinter yellow with white foam, and once clear.
I've got him eating a bit of food with more water than usual to get something into his system to see how he does before I give him his breakfast and meds.
I'm already thinking we need to go to the vet no matter what, but any thoughts as to what I might hear will be appreciated.

2023.06.07 14:12 Nervous-Living2824 How a shouting guy chased me at a waterpark
This is not going to be that scary like other stories you can read here, but when it happened to me it was really really frightening. Also I apologize because it might be a little long.
So this happened a few weeks ago in the countryside at my neighbours (and friends) waterpark.
It was the second day that it opened in the season and there was only one pool in use. Like I said before, it was our neighbour's place. When we arrived (my friend with her parents and my parents and me) me and my friend (I'm going to call her Anna from now on, it's not her real name) went in the pool while our parents were at the buffet having lunch. Before I continue, I would like to mention that we are both girls and minors.
I remember seeing a group of people, about 3 or 4 guys and 2 smaller girls. I think they were siblings, but the point is, there were no adults with them. They all played and had fun together, and I remember looking at them and thinking: 'ohh it's so nice seeing the older brothers playing and having fun with their little sisters and everyone looks so happy!' (seeing love among people always makes me emotional).
As time passed, Anna and I got hungry so we went to the buffet where our families were. When we got there, we saw that same group one or two tables away from us. I was standing there, Anna sitting, and I saw them staring at us. Again, I didn't think much of it.
After lunch only Anna and her mother were in the pool. The next things didn't happen to me, and at that time I didn't realise it was happening, Anna's mother told us later. She heard the guys from that group telling one to go up to Anna. That guy was in some way mentally disabled. I really don't want to offend anyone by saying that, I don't think that a disabled person would be less than any other person. It was not their choice but it is the people's choice to bully them or think differently about them which is just so so so dumb. Anyway the other boys encouraged him to go up to Anna. She didn't notice any of this happening, and by accident, she went to her mother right before he would have gone up to her. Then they heard the encouraging guys say 'come back, her mother is here'.
Later when we were all in the pool, I kept noticing that they were always looking at us and that one guy following us everywhere. My mother went out of the pool, I was with Anna and her mom when the he came up to me and said hi. Of course, i said hello because there is nothing wrong with this. But I have severe social anxiety and I wasn't feeling very comfortable. He was staring at me so strangely... Anna saw this too and she started to feel uncomfortable too. Her mother told us what had happened before then the three of us decided to go to my dad who was not very far from us.
The guy came closer, he even followed us when there were two adults there with us. By this point we were feeling really uncomfortable so we decided to get out of the pool, my mother was outside anyway. So nothing bad could happen right? Wrong. As we were getting out of the pool, we heard the guy come after us while he shouted: 'wait for me' and 'don't leave me'. We could see my mom so we went that way. Anna started panicking, so she decided to run. And because of her, I started to run too. After it happened, of course I know that it was a bad thing to do but at that time I was so creeped out, I couldn't think normally. I took off my slippers, because i couldn't run in them. When we got to my mother, i didn't have time to explain what's happening, because I really had to go to the bathroom. I gave her my slippers and run through this grass field that unfortunately had smaller branches and rocks lying there. I wasn't wearing my glasses, so I couldn't even see what i stepped on while being chased by a shouting guy. When I got to the women's bathroom (what was completely empty), I felt so relieved. I slipped a few times because wet, muddy foot and shiny bathroom floor are not the greatest combo 😅. I went in one of the stalles. Everything was quiet. Then I started hearing this heavy breathing coming from the doors way. I knew it couldn't be a woman, because it was in such a deep voice. Like a guy who's tired from a run. Of course after the past events a thought it was him. At that moment I was thinking: 'this is it'. I knew that if he stood in the door, there would be no way for me to get out of there. I haven't felt that scared before. When I could no longer hear the heavy breathing, I slowly got out of the stall. When I went out, I could see him going in the man's restroom's way and my mother yelling at him. Apparently he wanted to get into the women's bathroom. Later my father spoke to him and after that he stopped following us (but when he passed by or when they left he was looking at us).
I don't blame him, I think it wasn't his fault, but the other boys' who encouraged him to go up to us. I'm quite sure they were just pulling a prank on him by telling him that we looked like we'd be interested in him. And honestly I don't think anything that bad would have happened if he got to us, but like I said, i have severe social anxiety and I'm a little paranoid too so the things that were happening made me feel very uncomfortable and scared.
