Ooh, I like this! But I was thinking of the Wilson Pickett version :)

Personally I think this is wayyyyy more nurture than nature. And I also think most people are not purely a leader or purely submissive - I think we all have aspects of both.

You're giving this guy wayyyyy too much benefit of the doubt.

They showed us 4 Rooms at summer camp when it had just come out on VHS. I was 13 but pretty sheltered and that movie was kind of nuts.

It's a stupid conspiracy theory that he orchestrated 9/11 as an excuse to start the war in Iraq.

I take unabashed naps, without shame, excuses or explanations. Napping is an honored use of time in this house.

Me too, huge fan of naps! :)

I just looked up finch and it looks kinda like a tamogatchi but the pet is yourself? Can you tell me more about it - what you like and how it helps? It sounds interesting!

A month or so ago, I was on a quest for a great peach fragrance, and ended up stumbling on 1969 by Histoires de Parfums, which isn't a simple peach fragrance, but does have peach notes. It sounded amazing and so on a whim I blind bought it (got the 0.5mL which is $50). I'm so happy I did! It's complex and sexy. I'm not the most sophisticated when it comes to describing fragrances - it's hard for me to pick out specific notes sometimes - but I'd describe this as starting out spicy/musky and mellowing to a creamy, very alluring spiced sweetness in the drydown. It's sensuous, long-wearing, and I seriously can't get enough!

The description is:

Top notes: fruits of the sun, peach

Heart notes: rose, white flowers, cardamom, clove

Base notes: patchouli, chocolate, coffee, musk

Also the packaging is gorgeous:

I'm going to check out some of their other fragrances!

 

Hi friends! I'm looking to buy a fragrance and am hoping you guys might have some suggestions.

I want something that screams "peach" without being powdery or overly floral. I'm hoping for something gourmand/lactic (but not overly sweet!), fruity, or lightly floral (wearable in the daytime), or to go in another direction completely, something peach with spice, an evening scent sort of like Angel Share Paradis by Kilian (but peach instead of raspberry).

I'm more interested in perfumes, less interested in body sprays, but will give anything a shot.

Things I've already tried include Phlur's Apricot Privée, Phlur's Peach Skin, and Ellis Brooklyn's Peaches. Out of these, I like Peaches the most, but it's kind of a simple scent. I'd like something a little more complex. I had high hopes for Peach Skin but the sandalwood is really overwhelming (it smells so powdery!). And Apricot Privée is more complex but also smells very powdery and although it's spicy, I feel like it's an old-fashioned kind of spicy, if that makes sense.

And if there's not a single fragrance that fits the bill, I could try layering Peaches with something else. Maybe with Angel Share, or with an amber?

 

I don't know where else to share this, but I'm so proud of myself so I've gotta post it somewhere. I've finally got my first unassisted pull-up! It wasn't a goal I was working super hard toward, but I've noticed a lot of new muscle definition in my back, probably because I do a lot of rows, especially bird-dog rows and renegade rows. So I tried a pull-up and I was able to do one pretty easily! Not bad for a middle-aged lady! Now I've got a goal to do three. :)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 and I just got the new OneUI update. Now when I watch media in Jerboa there's an annoying scrolling notification that appears:

How do I get rid of this?

Also how do I get rid of whatever this is in my edge tray?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I figured out the first one, search settings for the Now Bar and disable whatever you don't want to see

Hey friends. I've recently realized that what I thought were freckles is actually melasma, and my dermatologist has prescribed me tretinoin for it. I have very pale skin, generally normal in the winter and a little oilier in the T-zone during the summer, but it can dry out really badly with things like AHA. From what I've heard, tret is pretty drying. My dermatologist recommended that I start with applying it only two nights a week, and using a pea-sized amount mixed into my moisturizer. I use the Tatcha Water Cream moisturizer, which is pretty light and has been great for me, but with tret I'm wondering if I'll need a heavier moisturizer. I'm also worried that my usual double-cleansing will worsen the dryness from tret. I double-cleanse with an oil balm to remove my mineral sunblock, then with the Tatcha Rice Wash to get rid of the sunblock & oil balm residue. But I'm thinking the rice wash might be irritating because it's got a (mild) physical exfoliant, so maybe I need to find something else for my second cleanse?

Does anyone have any experiences to share about dryness on tret, or just starting tret in general? Anything I should be aware of? I'm weirdly nervous about it!
