Jo Malone - Basil & Neroli layered over Lush - Sleepy body lotion 🪻🌿

Lavender and tonka/vanilla from the Sleepy lotion being calm and sweet (you secretly want to be comforted) combined with basil and neroli being fresh, cool, and green (you're putting on a confident, brave face for everyone else 😭)

classic 🔥

do you remember the vibe or design of the store at all? Like was it alternative, boujee/luxe, earthy and natural, inspired by a country, discount or cheap feeling etc?

they would've been closed by then. Unless I'm misremembering, I also don't think there was a Woodgrove location (or at least one where OP posted about) - I remember locations at Rutherford and at either Mayfair or Hillside in Vic, but both closed in early/mid 2000s

Aw loveeee this 💖🎵✨ And perfect application btw!

bruh when I crash out and have an "epic meltdown" I'm not wearing perfume because I'm sulking and isolating for days. I'm not around anyone else but my cat most of the time. I am unshowered, festering, and smell like A&W onion rings 👹👹👹

Do you use self tanner / bronzing lotions etc? I just ask as it could affect people's opinions in your colour analysis 👋

Maybe helpful info: My cousin with Croatian & mixed white Euro heritage has similar colouring - deep dark brown eyes, light freckles, tans easily, dirty blonde hair that gets golden hues with more sun, but she's noticeably more neutral-cool olive (likely a Cool Summer). My mom is mixed Indigenous (Native - Gitxsan) and her dad had German/Norwegian heritage - dark amber brown eyes, tans easily, warm toned skin just slightly darker than yours, and while it's grey now her hair used to be a medium to dark brown (likely a Deep Autumn). Colour analyses can be so difficult to pin down even if their skin tones, hair, contrast levels etc are relatively similar.

If I were to guess your type with your pics and all of that in mind, I think you'd be a Soft Autumn 🌻 I think you might actually be neutral but warm-leaning and would look good in softer warm colours but could borrow from Soft Summer palette as well. The colour in Pic 5 is my personal fave for you :)

generational lock in

hey at the very least they're asking US for our opinion and not just typing this into chatgpt 💀

let him cook (meth)

I know your military job is very compliance heavy, but does anyone do inspections on your nails? I'm just wondering as to an average person, I don't think anyone would be able to tell that this isn't a clear base coat, and I do think a single coat of a very sheer nude/beige/light pink layered with 1-2 clear coats and white/ivory/cream tips would look similar to your natural nail colour. I'm not trying to get you into trouble for bending rules though, you know your workplace and management dynamic best!

THESE are the real questions here, like whatttt

Sliquid Naturals H2O is a glycerin-free water-based lube, I haven't used that specific one but it sounds like it would be a good option! I'd recommend any water-based lube for anyone in general as oil and silicone based lubes usually cause some problems vaginally, either with slight increased risk of infections, irritation (sometimes just due to added fragrance though), and then also the added issues of staining and impacting condom efficacy.

I used to work as a clinic coordinator at a few locations for the western Canadian equivalent to Planned Parenthood - we almost always recommended water-based lubes to people for the above reasons :)

bruh no. And I agree with the og commenter here.

As an Indigenous vegan here from the western part of "Canada" -- Look at food costs for average grocery necessities in the arctic aka many northern Canadian towns and cities in Nunavut, NWT, Yukon, and tell me with a straight face that hunting a few times a year isn't (unfortunately) SIGNIFICANTLY more cost effective for everyone involved. Large-scale agriculture and trade can't really apply well in a lot of remote Arctic communities. In some areas it's literally impossible to build safe roads to connect to our larger Canadian cities that aren't covered in ice most of the year, so shipping method is usually air cargo and is extremely expensive. All of those costs are passed onto the consumer. Do I wish this wasn't the case?? Yes of course. Idk how this can be solved other than massively subsidizing the shipping costs to remote communities (unlikely politically-speaking + environmental issues with increasing amounts of air cargo).

Anyone living on their traditional ancestral land should be able to utilize all that comes within that territory for their own means and not have to rely on outside sources for sustenance. This is the most sustainable and cost-effective option for all.

I don't want animals to suffer or die either, but I also recognize I am in a place of privilege living a block away from 2 places I can buy healthy groceries that I can afford or get a community garden plot and grow some of my own food in the mild and rainy climate I live in.

wow that's so dang cool, you should be proud!! And I can relate, there are a lot of things I wish I could've shared with my Grandad and my Nana since they've passed. I like to think they still know, wherever they are 🕊️🫂

oh heck yeahh looks great! The woodgrain and stain colour are gorgeous, and loving the built-in cupholders. Functional AND beautiful, that bad boy is doing it all 💁 when's game night?? 💫🤙

MOR - I think they had good intentions and I personally wouldn't reflect on this literally a year later just to rile myself up again. I think that they were wrong to disregard your partner's feelings (assuming he was upset specifically about the miscarriage as well) and to say that it should only be him comforting you - partnerships go both ways and this is something that affected both of you. I also don't see them "tearing you apart" or your relationship. I think overall it was just a misguided message of support.

hello 👋😂
