2024.05.17 09:17 LautyGameplaysYT I need some help looking for a specific Manhua that i stumbled upon a few months ago.

So the thing is, a few months ago (cant recall how long, but atleast 5 months ago) i was scrolling through YouTube when i found one of this "recaps" of Manhua/Manhwa/Manga vids (i belive this particular one was a Manhua, hence why im posting this here). after binging the entire recap i really enjoyed it and since then i have forgot about it, until a few days ago when i remembered about it and wanted to actually read it. however, i cant seem to find the original video that i viewed nor can i find any information on the particular Manhua anywhere on the internet. So i was hoping any you here might know the name of it so that i can find it and give it a proper read. here is what i remember about it: - The Manhua in question is a cultivation Manhua, where the mc is born (not reincarnated/transported) into a world where the cultivation is a form of almost Extinct art. - The main protagonist (male, cant remember much of facial features, but i seem to recall black long hair, tho don't quote me on that) after witnessing a battle between two immortal cultivators at the very start of the Manhua goes to seek a tutor in a temple to teach him cultivation, the guy from the temple does not take him seriously since himself is not very versed in cultivation (since cultivation is almost extinct), however gives him vague advice and provides him with a place to stay. - Once the time passes and the guy from the temple dies, the MC goes to a city where he finds out about technology and society, since he lived in the temple with his master (the old guy from the temple) - This world is around modern day in terms of technology (smartphones, pc cafes, social media and all the stuff) and a lot of people are streaming in social media and boasting about their "cultivation" prowess (altho this is all special effects and GCI to draw viewers and get donations) - The Mc once arriving to the city goes to a pc cafe where he rents out a room with a pc and finds out about this "cultivators" in social media and is very impressed by their "cultivation" prowess (remember, the mc is an actual cultivator, with actual cultivation techniques (altho basic ones by this point) all of the others in social media are using CGI and special effects) -The Mc decides to seek advice from this "Cultivators" by creating an account in a streaming platform and uploading a video of his actual cultivation techniques, asking the other cultivators for advice on how to improve. and he uploads them as "A Slow Cultivator" as his nickname. -Using the "advice" (just some random bs that a few people commented in his video seeking aid) he actually manages to improve his cultivation. he even goes in the chat of some of the more known "cultivators" of social media, getting their attention. i seem to recall one of this more known "cultivators" that ends up interacting a lot with the mc becoming the main secondary character is a girl that has a floral themed red dress (very popular social media "cultivator" very famous, cant recall facial or hair features). -In some point, the mc ends up trying to make a cultivation Pill for this girl and sends it to her via mail, and her later makes an unboxing of all the gifts that her followers sent. however the pill that the mc gave her actually worked and gave her a very big boost to strength and i seem to recall making her look younger (tho dont quote me on that last bit) -More towards the end of the Manhua the mc ends up in a sect of actual cultivators, however most of them are weak, and the mc has a very important sealed treasure (small square box with talismans all arround it) from his master`s temple (old guy from the temple) that has something to do with a door of heaven and the immortal path (cant recall this last part very well)
I believe this wraps the most important/memorable parts that i remember. Does anyone know the name of this Manhua?

2024.05.17 09:11 ASPD007 Anyone else have a random coincidence happen that felt like a gift from the Universe?

I was broke and scrounging around looking for some lounge change with no luck. I was thinking to myself, I need 85c for a loaf of woollies bread as I already had jam and butter in the fridge. Just before I was about to lose hope, I remembered I could go check my car. I was living in an apartment, so my car was parked nose to nose in a grid style carport with 24 other tenants. As I was walking towards my car, the car that was parked in front of me, reversed out revealing 50c, 20c, 10c, 05 cent pieces, one of each, right on the ground? Have you had any "gifts" from the universe?

2024.05.17 09:06 Gullible_Guest_3025 My (23M) mother in law (47F) hates me and convinced my gf (20F) to cheat on me. How to deal with this ?

Before starting, English isn’t my first language and it’s my first time posting on Reddit so sorry if I make mistakes.
For context, we are in a long distance relationship. I was in engineer school so I had to go overseas to study for 6 months and that’s where I met my gf. After getting back to my country we continued texting and started calling everyday and she asked me to be her bf after a few months.
The relationship was going great and everything was perfect so I talked about her to my parents and she came to my place for a month last year. At the time I was doing my last internship for my studies so I couldn’t be with her all the time and I felt really bad and guilty for leaving her like this.
Everything continued and it was great so I went to her place for a month in October and then she came back with me to stay at my place until December. She really wanted to spend more time together so she even stayed 2 weeks more and missed a bit her classes. During this trip I talked to her mom and her husband on the phone for the first time and I thought they liked me bc everything went well.
After this she traveled to Vietnam with her mom to celebrate the new year. She was supposed to stay there for 2 weeks but she couldn’t get along with her mom and left after 5 days. After this she ghosted me for 3 days and started to be really distant with me. She was supposed to come for 3 months in April but she always had something to delay the trip so she came just for one month (we are together now).
After what happened last year I felt so bad that I decided to not start working directly after getting my diploma and start after she leaves instead to spend the whole time with her to make her happy but since she arrived she has been really distant. She used to get mad at me if I didn’t give her attention for more than 5 minutes but now she rejects me everytime I wanna hug or kiss her and she don’t wanna do anything together. She is also really protective with her phone and does everything for me to not have access to it. It made me really suspicious so I searched in her phone and it turned out she’s been using tinder since she got back from Vietnam and she was texting other guys. She also cheated with an old random guy that saw her story once and decided to stalk her and brought her to his room after making her drunk.
When I saw this my heart dropped and I felt so bad. It really broke the image I had of her. She’s my first gf and I’ve never been in love before so it was really hard for me. When I confronted her she said that her mom told her that I’m not a good guy for her bc I don’t have a work yet and I didn’t buy any gift for her family so she should find an other man and that’s why she used tinder. I don’t really know what to think now and I’m really confused bc even after I found out she is still very protective with her phone and acts suspicious. She even changed her password so I don’t see anything so I really wonder what else she can try to hide from me.
This happened 2 days ago and today she told me that her dad wanted to meet me next November and that she still wants to get married with me and live with me in my country after finishing her studies as we planned. I’m really lost and I don’t really know what to do now so if you have any advices about this it would really help me

Hi, I live outside India and was wondering if there are any local/national gift shops with a reliable website so that I can place an order for giving gifts to my relatives in Mysore. I had been ordering from ferns and petals but their collection is limited, delivery unreliable and customer service is horrible.

2024.05.17 08:41 Live_Pipe4409 My Awakening 🪽

All this has came to me as I am 25 years old. I have lived a hard walk of life, having to survive and experience a strong battle of the lost to not allow my light to be consumed for that Is the key! To not be connsumed but to merge into one! This earth experience this machine the weather is us the water the waves the river all a relation to human life & every life there is a dark like in almost all ways bright to dark good and evil etc Ying and yang! I came to a strong relization and this was a deep awakening, it was not entirely present I was faced deeply with many emotions and uncomfortable feelings as my life was all transitioning almost like all was falling apart and a shedding was happening a transition and I couldn't help it, the moment I turned 25 I sat by the water I cried I cried and cried, my job gone , the guy I was with was a total ass reflecting on to me so much of his unhealed tangled web inside himself still blinded to the teachers and avoiding the facing of these emotions. I had realized suddenly how much my daughter loves me and truthfully that was the first time I had experienced true unconditional love strange that it took a little bit, I have been a single mom alone this entire time, I have always been insightful but I just couldn't understand why or what was going on so being me I just felt I felt I felt and felt I was tapping into the shadow and allowing my feelings to be guides, it was emotinal brutal a time I felt a isolation an okayness with letting go knowing and feeling it was time basically a rebirth, I came to the understanding that I was truly fallowing my intuition and falling closer into my light. I began to have absolutely a large amount of synchronicites & unexplanable happens, good kept coming to me and I kept pushing forth. I have had strange yet strong beautiful insightful conversations with strangers as thought they had crossed my path in the most organic flow, it was not until today as I was sitting in my bathroom I then realized that the key is merging it is merging 2 into 1 as we are one, this earth experience is a challenge almost it's to not be connsumed, light is essentially spirit to me, light is a warmth and comfort almost a feeling of home, I never had home, but I undedstood this & that it is key to understand we are bolth & are feelings all of them are a language that is in music color sounds all are senses it's all around it's in all of life, this merging is a inner healing . We have the ability to heal are self's with the earth experience & just Iike the earth all is in us to do so, I believe that light is to me God, The human salt lamp is a healer a transformer echoing into this ripple hopeing to spread a brighter to heal even this planet, world are planet is also a life form just like us, I belive some get so lost there light is so consumed by light they may burn out and that part I'm still seeking the answer but we who have remained and conquered and fall.closer to are light will be apart of a acending to a Place where we merge into a 1, a eternal realm of love and light, it's almost like we all become one big spirit and mabey that is the spirit of God I'm not sure but I belive this is heaven. It's to turn 2 into 1 and mabey that becomes zero and thru the zero as "0" is essentially a portal, beginning a new entire universe I just don't know what happens to thoese left behind mabey we carry a bit of them within are self's as we are all a ripple to this entire experience every single little thing makes all the diffrenece I cried and for the first time I felt that was my home, that I get it and it so beautiful and I'll never feel alone. It's all been worth it and I'm so happy to be Alive today and how beautiful for me to have a daughter that I can shine my light twords allowing her to feel her feelings and do my best to not let her be consumed by the world, i have been and seen almost everything. Yet this beauty it all brought me to tears and tears of I'm so lucky to get this. I'm so lucky to be gifted with this awakening
Fallow your quieds! Shadow is a teacher it is apart of us as much as light. Janelle May 16 2024 ♡ 🖤🪽

2024.05.17 08:38 ScarlettWraith More autistic as time goes by

36F, Australia. My brain slowly burnt out over the last few years and my masking began to slip causing all manner of issues resulting in the eventual diagnosis of ASD and ADHD.
I started seeing a therapist in September 2023 and it was highlighted I might be "gifted" along with ASD and ADHD. I booked appointments for assessments 29th April and 16th March respectively. I continued with therapy and my own research, along with reviewing my old school reports, diaries, notes, previous therapy. I always thought I was high IQ and what people called twice exceptional but never met the social perception of these by the diagnostic standards in the 1990s and early 2000s. By New Years 2024 I was convinced I was High IQ, Level 1 High Masking with some needs and in desperate need of ADHD medication. I was incredibly proactive in my workplace in understanding how all of this affected my behaviours and understandings. I would refer to understanding/needs as Autistic Brain and ADHD Brain. I tried to get work to understand and work with me, yet they failed and fied me at the start of March (totally different story). By the time my appointments come around I knew what I was. I was High IQ, High Masking, Moderate needs level 2 ASD and ADHD. My ADHD assessment was a success and would start medication from my following appointment on 30th April, my ASD assessment confirmed Level 2 and moderate support. Both of these assessments were rather basic in nature in that they were around my current observations and experiences along with what I could recall from my childhood. I attended both appointments fully prepared for a lengthy undertaking of historic records, interviews, family interviews, work reports, yet both were satisfied with meeting the DSM-V critera with my interview.
I had to wait until I received my ASD report before applying for the NDIS (nation disability insurance scheme) where I can receive funding for support. By the time my report came on the 19th of April I was starting to feel more towards a level 3 high support needs. I hadn't worked since the start of March, I had been on Vyvanse for about a week, and was focusing on peeling back the 30 odd years of masks and layers that had built up. I was starting to understand the burnout and overwhelm from both. I even learnt what an autistic meltdown looked like for me and could recall vividly when these had happened!! Mostly because it was such an intensely strong mix of feelings and utter confusion as to what and why it was happening. I receiced my report and it was as expected, and had discussed with the psychologist. I meet all criteria with the exception of 1 being partially met and another not met. I do meet both of these but at the time and how the questions were presented, I didn't understand them. It was about routines, fixations, and the like. The way it was asked didn't trigger correctly to seek the answers in my mind maps. My therapist read the report and explained how she knew I met both criteria and gave appropriate examples.
I had my appointment for NDIS funding 2weeks ago and when I was mentioning all the things I wanted funding for I was asked "how does my autism cause that". Which confused me. The whole appointment was just too much and I didn't the following week with my phone on do not disturb and in bed.
But I've digressed. At this point in my journey and going through the stages learning about my ASD and ADHD I am understanding the differences in what I can and cannot do. Along with what has been around me at those times or what environment I was in. I'm now of the belief that whilst I live alone and am "independent", I actually need quiet substantial support. I essentialy need a mother, as I feel like a toddler. I don't eat unless I am told too or I feel physically ill from hunger. Even then unless the food is ready to eat, I get too exhausted from making it to eat it, and will just get take away (always been a thing but just thought myself as lazy). I shut down regularly and just sleep. I can only function for about 1 day a week and then I need 4days to recover. Not eating obviously doesn't help. I haven't exercised in years and can't because I get overwhelmed with just the thought of putting on appropriate clothing and leaving the house. I am finding out why I always have issues with work and maintaining employment. The list goes on and on.
Is it normal to appear more autistic as you slowly unmask and time goes by? Is it normal to find you require more substantial support as you go through your journey? How do you deal and cope with that? How can you even explain to people that the more you unmask and learn, that your ASD and ADHD appear to be getting more severe when it's always been that way but you've just used up more than your life times worth of mental capacity with hiding all of it to fit in and appear normal.
How does one even come back from literally 30 years of incredibly high masking and hiding and fighting their identity? How do I even figure out who I am and what I truly like?
TL:DR; since September 2023 when it was first indicated I might be autistic until now, I have gone through stages of being "maybe a few needs" to "some needs" to "moderate needs" to the point I am at now which is "substantial needs". Is this normal when embracing your autism as a late diagnosed high IQ ADHD female removing her masks?

Taskeen Caramel Cascade by Paris Corner - Full review! Is it a dupe for Bianco Latte?

As promised, here is the detailed review after 8.5 hours.
I tested Taskeen Caramel Cascade (TCC to make live easier going forward) from 3.30 PM - 12 AM.
  • Official notes: Taken from the Paris Corner Website
  • Top Notes: Caramel. Milk
  • Heart Notes: Tonka Bean, Honey
  • Base Notes: Vanilla, White Musk, Amber
There are many similarities to Bianco Latte by Giardini DI Toscana, but I DO NOT HAVE a sample of that with me to compare TCC with!
  • Category:
Oriental, somehow? Paris Corner, you ok?
Skin Prep:
I wore it on moisturized skin (unscented moisturizer - CeraVe) and applied Vaseline to my pulse points as well. I applied some Al-Rehab Chocomusk oil on my neck and the same pulse points to add some extra yumminess :) I then positively bathed in the TCC - I am an over-sprayer. Nothing below 20 sprays (yeah, you may end up coughing) and this is clothes plus on skin. I layered it with Victoria's secret BARE VANILLA mist as a topper. The combination of TCC + Chocomusk + BV, is mouthwatering! You have to try it!
Initial observations:
  • The initial blast was VERY alcohol rich and burnt my nose, but this was expected.
  • Few seconds into the spraying and the Vanilla came out; it was a rich, creamy and sweet Vanilla. Gourmand lovers, rejoice!
  • A few minutes later is when the namesake Caramel became noticeable. This has a sharper smell in contrast to the vanilla, but in no way was it offensive or harsh. Some may find it a bit synthetic, though.
  • The dry down is musky, sweet and that's where Mr. Tonka bean finally comes through.
Sillage:
  • Moderate sillage with a projection that is intimate.
  • This is not a beast-mode scent, yet. I am going to let it sit for a good 1 month or so before spraying it again.
  • I travelled by bike and when the wind brushed past me, I would get wafts of the perfume even in the dry heat.
  • I went to run some errand from 4 PM- 6 PM and there was some projection.
  • Around the 8 or 9 PM mark is when I noticed that I had to smell my arm or clothes to get a whiff.
  • It completely vanished around the 11.30 - 12 AM mark.
Final Thoughts:
  • What a beautiful and delicate fragrance! A true gourmand that's not cloying, reeking of excessive musk or any over-the-top ,"throw-everything-but the kitchen" sink kind of notes.
  • This is a simple, sweet and delicious fragrance that anyone can enjoy. Yes, gentlemen! I mean you too. Think of this as the sweet touch that you could add to your Orientals or spicy perfumes.
  • This layers nicely with vanillas and caramels. Just avoid the ones that are over the top in the sweetness department. For example: Warm vanilla sugar has too much sugar when compared to TCC but Bare vanilla is perfect.
  • I really wish it lasted longer! I am going to let mine sit for a while and hope it gains potency!
  • It is still on my clothes and my laundry hamper smells AMAZING :)
  • I loved it so much that I immediately bought one as a gift for a friend who is also very fond of caramel perfumes - She loved my SWEET TOOTH CARAMEL DREAM so much that it's almost over. He he he :P
  • This can be a very day-to-day use perfume, totally inoffensive and very pet-friendly. I have a pup and he has issues with some of my perfumes, but not this one.
  • ALLERGY INFORMATION: if anyone has perfume allergies, this WILL break you out. I have allergies and this one has me scratching my arms from time to time. I'm ok, though! (the things I do for reviews !! )
Alrighty then! For the asking price and the scent profile, Taskeen Caramel Cascade is totally worth your coin and attention, IMO, humbly.
Hope you got something from that review!
Till the next one, Adios!

2024.05.17 08:33 PerspectiveSuperb394 Looking for a Canadian surrogate mum to help me with family

Dear wonderful surrogates,
Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to the page admin for this community.
My Message to wonderful surrogates in this community. I hope this story finds you in good health and high spirits.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Vin and I am reaching out to you with a heart full of hope and a dream that has been cherished throughout my life. I am 47 years old from Indian background and have been living in Australia for last 17 years. My parents live in India and I have 2 sisters and both are married and have kids. First sister settled in Columbus, US and have son and daughter. My little sister with my niece lives near my parent place. I have seven embryos safely preserved in Creatvie Fertility Centre, Toronto
My journey through life has been a unique one. There were many ups and downs, good times and difficult one. I have been single for as long as I can remember, and while I have had my fair share of fulfilling experiences and accomplishments, I have always felt a profound desire for parenthood. Unfortunately, despite my wish, I didn't find partner with whom to share this incredible journey. As the years passed, I realized that the timing was never quite right, and I began to fear that I might never experience the joy of becoming a parent. But then I learned about surrogacy, and a new found sense of hope filled my heart. Surrogacy offers the opportunity for individuals like me, who haven't found a partner in life, to fulfil their dream of parenthood. My longing to be a parent is not just about having someone to care for and guide; it goes beyond that. It is about creating a bond, sharing unconditional love, and building a family that will bring happiness not just to me but to my child as well. I yearn to experience all the joys and challenges of parenthood, to be there for every step of my child's growth and to support them in becoming the best version of themselves.
I understand that the path to surrogacy is not an easy one, and I approach it with the utmost respect and gratitude for the immense gift it represents. I believe that the relationship between a surrogate and an aspiring parent is built on trust, mutual understanding, and compassion. It is a partnership that will forever connect us in this remarkable journey. If you choose to embark on this incredible adventure with me, know that you will not only be making my dream come true, but you will also be giving life to a little soul that will be endlessly loved and cherished. Your selflessness and compassion will have an everlasting impact on both of our lives.
I am committed to providing full support throughout the process and, most importantly, being a dedicated and loving parent to the child that is brought into this world through your invaluable help. If you feel a connection with my story and share my dream of bringing a life into this world, I would be immensely grateful to have the opportunity to get to know you better. I believe that this journey should begin with open and honest communication, and I am eager to hear your thoughts and hopes regarding this extraordinary possibility. Thank you for taking the time to read my request and for considering this journey together. I eagerly await your response and the possibility of creating a beautiful future filled with love and family.
If anyone is interested, please send me a message here
Warmest regards
Vin

2024.05.17 08:29 eynouement do i move on? (how?...) or do i stay. send help ;-; (im 20M, she's 20F)

hey guys, i'm here looking for advice as to what i should do with myself. the story is a little long so please bear with me. (i'm 20M)
i was 18 when i first met my ex-girlfriend back in 2022, let's name her sofa (20F). we were arranged to be in the same class for the first time after going through 4 semesters in poly, right after i went through a break up. i got to know of her beforehand because my best friend back then was pretty close to her, so naturally the both of us hit it off immediately when we found out that we were in the same class. too natural in fact. to me, it felt like she was an extension of me. by the time week 1 ended, we were able to finish each others' sentences, and we knew most of each others' secrets.
slowly but surely, i fell in love. but back then she let me in onto one of her secrets: she had a boyfriend. i didn't want to be a homewrecker, so i kept my feelings to myself. however, said boyfriend was apparently sexually abusive towards her. and throughout it all, i was there for her emotionally and physically (this includes forcing her to give him a bj and to swallow his jizz, and going down on her when she clearly voiced her discomfort.) we'd skip classes sometimes to just be with each other, because she told me that she needed to get away from everything, and as her best friend i couldn't say no. but now that i think about it, it was probably because i too, wanted to spend time with her.
then one night we were out watching black panther 2, and she held my hand in the cinema. that's when i knew that i probably wrecked a home without meaning to. she confessed that she already had feelings for me long before the movie, probably at the same time i started falling for her. she explained how she got together with her then boyfriend: he was there when she needed someone, especially since they were both in the school band (she was the vocalist), he would pull her confidence up when she felt unconfident of herself. gratitude, she called it, with "it" referring to her feelings for him.
she then told me that she believed in the connection between me and her, and i agreed because i too, had never felt anything like this. after that day, i accompanied her to AFA, where she cosplayed as makima and i helped take photos of her. and the next day, our lips met for the first time. she promised that she would break things off with her ex when she flew to new zealand, i trusted her. long story short, she didnt end things with him. but i didnt know that she actually tried her best, but the man wouldn't take it as an answer. (she was the type to never say no) i cut her off there and then, because i didn't want to get hurt any longer.
months passed, and during that period, i went back to my ex. who popped my cherry, and showed me that sex was actually pretty bad. context: i didn't feel good at all, and took 1h30mins to finish. she enjoyed it though, and i later found out that she was lying about being a virgin, and that she actually loves cock. march came and i went to bangkok, thailand on internship with sofa and my best friend. my ex cheated on me 2 weeks into the internship with some streamer on a chinese streaming platform. i have records of her sending gifts to him all the time. strangly, i didnt feel much when i found out, i was actually okay with it. this is where sofa comes in. she held my hand again one night when me, my best friend and her were watching "the whales" in my room. i never thought that she would still have feelings for me, because the whole time people were saying that she gave up on me long ago. and i too, realised that i was not over her. call me a playboy, whatever. but it was my feelings, and i wasn't mature enough to control them. me and sofa fell in love and fixed our misunderstandings.
we spent 5 months together living in the same room. it was like a honeymoon period minus the actual marriage. we had a hard time adjusting to life without each other after we returned to singapore. and we broke up last year december 30th.
thing is, things didn't stop there. she found another guy 3 days after the break up, but still continued to see me in secret and hooked up with me too. all while dating the guy and having sex with him too. (i didn't know they were together, she claimed that they were just friends). soon enough, her own friends found out about our trysts and sold her out to her new guy. i guess he was as delusional as me, because he wanted to hold on. but things weren't the same, and eventually he ended things with her. this prompted her to come back to me, but with a pre-requisite: she wouldn't date me because she needed time to heal. at that point i felt like it was understandable, because she had been through a lot, and on the other hand completely neglected the 4 months of pain that i went through. i finally snapped at her one day, and told that if she wasn't going to try fighting for me, then i wasn't going to. she sent a whole paragraph to defend herself and then blocked me. i thought that i would be able to move on quickly after that, but its still the exact same as the time when i first broke up with her (i didn't sleep for 4 days in a row and collapsed in class, and often locked myself in my cupboard to just cry). i just enlisted in the army a few days ago and i really want to know how do i cope with this, because truth is i still love her.

Taskeen Caramel Cascade by Paris Corner - Full review!
UPDATE!! Full review!!

As promised, here is the detailed review after 8.5 hours.
I tested Taskeen Caramel Cascade (TCC to make live easier going forward) from 3.30 PM - 12 AM.
  • Official notes: Taken from the Paris Corner Website
  • Top Notes: Caramel. Milk
  • Heart Notes: Tonka Bean, Honey
  • Base Notes: Vanilla, White Musk, Amber
  • Category:
Oriental, somehow? Paris Corner, you ok?
Skin Prep:
I wore it on moisturized skin (unscented moisturizer - CeraVe) and applied Vaseline to my pulse points as well. I applied some Al-Rehab Chocomusk oil on my neck and the same pulse points to add some extra yumminess :) I then positively bathed in the TCC - I am an over-sprayer. Nothing below 20 sprays (yeah, you may end up coughing) and this is clothes plus on skin. I layered it with Victoria's secret BARE VANILLA mist as a topper. The combination of TCC + Chocomusk + BV, is mouthwatering! You have to try it!
Initial observations:
  • The initial blast was VERY alcohol rich and burnt my nose, but this was expected.
  • Few seconds into the spraying and the Vanilla came out; it was a rich, creamy and sweet Vanilla. Gourmand lovers, rejoice!
  • A few minutes later is when the namesake Caramel became noticeable. This has a sharper smell in contrast to the vanilla, but in no way was it offensive or harsh. Some may find it a bit synthetic, though.
  • The dry down is musky, sweet and that's where Mr. Tonka bean finally comes through.
Sillage:
  • Moderate sillage with a projection that is intimate.
  • This is not a beast-mode scent, yet. I am going to let it sit for a good 1 month or so before spraying it again.
  • I travelled by bike and when the wind brushed past me, I would get wafts of the perfume even in the dry heat.
  • I went to run some errand from 4 PM- 6 PM and there was some projection.
  • Around the 8 or 9 PM mark is when I noticed that I had to smell my arm or clothes to get a whiff.
  • It completely vanished around the 11.30 - 12 AM mark.
Final Thoughts:
  • What a beautiful and delicate fragrance! A true gourmand that's not cloying, reeking of excessive musk or any over-the-top ,"throw-everything-but the kitchen" sink kind of notes.
  • This is a simple, sweet and delicious fragrance that anyone can enjoy. Yes, gentlemen! I mean you too. Think of this as the sweet touch that you could add to your Orientals or spicy perfumes.
  • This layers nicely with vanillas and caramels. Just avoid the ones that are over the top in the sweetness department. For example: Warm vanilla sugar has too much sugar when compared to TCC but Bare vanilla is perfect.
  • I really wish it lasted longer! I am going to let mine sit for a while and hope it gains potency!
  • It is still on my clothes and my laundry hamper smells AMAZING :)
  • I loved it so much that I immediately bought one as a gift for a friend who is also very fond of caramel perfumes - She loved my SWEET TOOTH CARAMEL DREAM so much that it's almost over. He he he :P
  • This can be a very day-to-day use perfume, totally inoffensive and very pet-friendly. I have a pup and he has issues with some of my perfumes, but not this one.
  • ALLERGY INFORMATION: if anyone has perfume allergies, this WILL break you out. I have allergies and this one has me scratching my arms from time to time. I'm ok, though! (the things I do for reviews !! )
Alrighty then! For the asking price and the scent profile, Taskeen Caramel Cascade is totally worth your coin and attention, IMO, humbly.
Hope you got something from that review!
Till the next one, Adios!

2024.05.17 08:27 PerspectiveSuperb394 Looking for a surrogate mum to help me with family

Dear wonderful surrogates,
Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to the page admin for this community. My apology for including social media account on original post, which is removed and reposting it once again. I hope I didn't breach any rules.
My Message to wonderful surrogates in this community. I hope this story finds you in good health and high spirits.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Vin and I am reaching out to you with a heart full of hope and a dream that has been cherished throughout my life. I am 47 years old from Indian background and have been living in Australia for last 17 years. My parents live in India and I have 2 sisters and both are married and have kids. First sister settled in Columbus, US and have son and daughter. My little sister with my niece lives near my parent place. I have seven embryos safely preserved in Creatvie Fertility Centre, Toronto
My journey through life has been a unique one. There were many ups and downs, good times and difficult one. I have been single for as long as I can remember, and while I have had my fair share of fulfilling experiences and accomplishments, I have always felt a profound desire for parenthood. Unfortunately, despite my wish, I didn't find partner with whom to share this incredible journey. As the years passed, I realized that the timing was never quite right, and I began to fear that I might never experience the joy of becoming a parent. But then I learned about surrogacy, and a new found sense of hope filled my heart. Surrogacy offers the opportunity for individuals like me, who haven't found a partner in life, to fulfil their dream of parenthood. My longing to be a parent is not just about having someone to care for and guide; it goes beyond that. It is about creating a bond, sharing unconditional love, and building a family that will bring happiness not just to me but to my child as well. I yearn to experience all the joys and challenges of parenthood, to be there for every step of my child's growth and to support them in becoming the best version of themselves.
I understand that the path to surrogacy is not an easy one, and I approach it with the utmost respect and gratitude for the immense gift it represents. I believe that the relationship between a surrogate and an aspiring parent is built on trust, mutual understanding, and compassion. It is a partnership that will forever connect us in this remarkable journey. If you choose to embark on this incredible adventure with me, know that you will not only be making my dream come true, but you will also be giving life to a little soul that will be endlessly loved and cherished. Your selflessness and compassion will have an everlasting impact on both of our lives.
I am committed to providing full support throughout the process and, most importantly, being a dedicated and loving parent to the child that is brought into this world through your invaluable help. If you feel a connection with my story and share my dream of bringing a life into this world, I would be immensely grateful to have the opportunity to get to know you better. I believe that this journey should begin with open and honest communication, and I am eager to hear your thoughts and hopes regarding this extraordinary possibility. Thank you for taking the time to read my request and for considering this journey together. I eagerly await your response and the possibility of creating a beautiful future filled with love and family.
If anyone is interested, please send me a message here
Warmest regards
Vin

2024.05.17 08:23 iceebison (In) Ex left her things at my house and told me to keep them then demanded them back. I want to keep them.

As title says, on mobile sorry for formatting.
My ex and I broke up and when she moved out she left a box of miscellaneous items, a laptop(she gave me as a gift 2 yrs ago), and a gaming chair. She told me to keep the items, because she didn't want to worry about them. I reluctantly agreed and kept them.
Days later she demanded I give them back to which I told her I wanted to keep them and that technically as she told me to keep them in the first place, she had no right to demand I return them.
The next day while I was at work she showed up with the police, and my dad whom I live with allowed them inside to retrieve their items
My question is do I have any legal grounds to fight back on this. I'm mainly upset because A.) They legally had no right to enter, but he let them in anyway. All he has to do was say that he wasn't involved so he wasn't comfortable letting them in until I got there. B.) She gave me those things and legally had no right to demand them back therefore the police helped her steal my things.
That laptop at the very least I want back as it has multiple years worth of my data on it as she gave it to me 2 years ago and I've used it near daily since.
Help me reddit lawyers, you're my only hope...
Edited to add: She told me to keep them through text. I still have all the messages

2024.05.17 08:20 DestructiveAuras [REQUEST][STEAM] SLAY THE SPIRE - [$8.49]

Hello GoG! Hope everyone is well, enjoying their games and tackling backlogs.
I am requesting the renowned rougelike deckbuilder: Slay the Spire!
Who am I and why should I get this game?
I'm yeti, a teen living in California who's had a crazy change in gaming preferences this year. For starters, I used to grind live service fps games for quite some time. It was all I played, until one day I woke up and realized that battles passes are SHIT. Anyways, after tons of saving and research, I played Elden Ring and never looked back to FPS games. Since then I've expanded my taste, which leads to now!
One day, I saw that Balatro was trending on the Steam Store, so I managed to save up and purchase it. And wow, that game gives you your money's worth. Who knew a game with a simple enough premise- stacking multipliers through poker hands- could be so addicting! I have around 50 hours and am probably 8% through everything in the game. It's quite a behemoth of a game. I guess once I started it was over for me, because I looked to find other rougelikes and games in the genre but struggled to find something that fit similarly. Someone gifted me Gungeon, it was really great but I still craved card rougelikes.
Someone on another subreddit recommended Slay the Spire, and I must admit it looks incredible. I've heard the replay value is amazing, and it seems perfect for me! If it counts for anything, summer break is also coming up for me, this game would be an awesome use of my time. It's also on sale right now, what perfect timing!!
What is Slay the Spire?
You slay the spire. oh, and I guess build decks and discover relics, or something.
Thank you for reading my request, and if I get this game, I will be eternally grateful and sink at least 50 hours in the first 3 months. Thank you!!

2024.05.17 07:49 Typical_Pay_9801 practicing minimalism - pros and cons

practicing minimalism - pros and cons
Anyone na nagpapractice ng minimalism here? 2017 I got hooked by the documentary ‘Minimalism’ (which is a must watch). After nun i got conscious na sa mga binibili ko. I think 10x bago ko i purchase ang isang bagay if it’s really a need or not. Until i got used to it. I have myself 1 drawer for pang alis (almost all black wardrobe) and 1 drawer for pangbahay and 1 small drawer for underwear which i feel na sobra pa since andami naggi gift ng clothes every christmas na ang hirap tanggihan. But i’m planning this year na i’ll just ask my fam to just buy what’s on my list na need ko. Sa shoes medyo mahirap since mahilig ako sa shoes before but it’s much tolerable. Puro bigay nalang din shoes ko now from my maximalist sister. lol i also tend to work as freelance so it’s not everyday na may salary ako that’s why i’m really conscious about what i purchase pero minsan i overthink na baka nasobrahan ako sa application since i do not have the motivation anymore to grind and find side hustles. Mas gusto ko nalang mag travel kesa bumili ng mga di ko kelangan- ito na ang motivation ko now pero i’m really struggling rn with my mental health din. But minimalism eases it out. Consumerism and capitalism really got out into my system, it’s freeing, it’s also helping the environment. Mas may time ako now for myself and for what really matters. Pero since i’m still living with my mom na halos lahat ng take out container e kini-keep nya, wala akong magagawa duon 😂 give it a try u guys. if it works out then good, if it’s not for u then i respect that.

2024.05.17 07:48 GhostieTown I don’t want to die but I have to cut my losses

i like living mostly, but i can’t find anyway to like myself. my grades are dropping, i’m 15 and don’t have a job, no clue what i want to do, i’m not very good looking, i feel like all my friends and peers hate me secretly. i’ve done nothing to earn the life i’ve been gifted with, and the best thing to do is to quit while i’m still on top. i honestly might just be an annoying, bad person, but i can’t figure out how to change since I can’t find which part of me is bad. I don’t really want to die but it feels like a necessary sacrifice to make my life worthwhile.

Talking about sunny for views
She started talking about sunny and saw her views so up so she kept talking about it over and over again. She says she not going to be her friend again. She’s said this before she would def be her friend again. Sad but true she lacks discernment.
