Queen Side Eye

Thundersnow would have me looking out the window for Armageddon.

So we getting winter tornadoes now🫩

Oh I never thought to do this! I use almond milk but as of late, I have also been lazy and just adding extracts with my sweetener of choice.

Uh, so house hunting is anxiety-inducing.

I need to know more about this 👀 did you use syrups?

My favorite episode is the one where the evangelical pastor comes to the station ranting about sex workers.

Chief: what’s the problem out here?
Pastor: WHORES

Chief: I heard you mention something out there but I’m not quite sure…
Pastor: I said WHORES, did you hear that?
Chief: I heard that

Thank y’all! I used to listen to lofi hip hop when reading but found out that a lot of the songs and YouTube channels post-2022 are AI generated.

Ashamed to admit I haven't finished a book yet this year. I'm finding it harder than usual to sit and focus.

You showed out! What brand are the 3 at the top?

Raised Pentecostal in the midwest...it took therapy to get over my association of them damn sirens with the rapture. Crouched down in the bathtub during a tornado, more worried about the rapture taking my parents away than the actual tornado tossing trees around outside lol.

My homegirl lived a sheltered life. She has allergies for the 1st time since childhood, went to CVS and couldn't find sudafed. She asked the pharmacist, he laughed and said back here with me. She asked why. Now she texting asking if I knew you can make meth with sudafed 😂 she missed the entire era

#SOTD Blues by Zernell Gillie. It’s been a couple months since my last wear and the coffee is more pronounced in the opening. Black coffee and florals dry down to spicy resins and slightly sweet incense. Perfect choice for this rainy, cold day. I will say the oud is a whisper at best. #perfumesky

I have two I may avoid bc I don’t think I can look the perfumer in the eye and not immediately buy what’s left on my wishlist from them. I need to pay rent next month.

My god I love Detroit. Walked into work today, a large tower with at least 50 other employers, and Desert Eagle is playing and echoing thru the lobby. Today will be a good day.

Alright #perfumesky #scentsky, who’s going to the Fumed Expo? And am I the only one who has an organized running lists of scents to sample there?

I went to the studio for my birthday last year, to do the scent fitting experience. Dharma was a close second to Lady Day. Still on my list to revisit, along with Frida.

Aw man. I have all their albums on a thumb drive, from when they were fighting with their label about streaming and they decided to make them downloadable for free.

And the old ways of spotting AI are becoming obsolete as the technology “improves”. I hate that we have to question every image, article, and account online. We don’t even know how much impact this will have on the youth.

Bring back AOL dialup!

My bet is that they are switched with fakes, and in 5yrs the 47 Museum in Mar-a-lago will charge an arm and leg to see the originals. Some excuse about having to switch the originals bc the Dems couldn’t be trusted 🥴 Either way, them originals ain’t coming back to DC after this.

Amouage- Figment Woman (rainy days)
Chloe- Nomade (self-care appointments)
Le Bleu Bodycare- Pink Flower Moon (fun days)
Francesca Bianchi- Etruscan Water (work)

OSM- Diva Behavior and K Scents- Montmorensy are recent purchases that give spring. I've been impatiently waiting to wear them.

A random selection picked by the program would be fun. It will help folks like me who forget the bottles and travel sizes in the back of the cabinet. But also get folks to try scents outside of their advertised “category” (season specific, occasion, etc).

For sure, some brands in Sephora catch you off guard on prices. Them Tatcha prices…I will only try them via samples.

In some of the Reddit groups folks share their trays, would be cool if that were a feature vs having to create a separate list like on Parfumo or the site that shall not be named.

1. Picking perfumes, usually a month’s worth, and setting them out on a tray (as fancy as you like).
2. Hands down my fave niche brand BUT them prices are wild. I’ve never bought full price, always on discounter sites. Still pricey tho. Mecari is an option too.

😬 so that’s the part I’m leaving out lol. I was at Neiman Marcus and made a YOLO purchase. For what I spent, I’m guessing the sale associate thought I’m normally a big spender and gave me the premium samples. But I’ll have to check out Kiehls and see what Ulta/Sephora has similar.

RéVive Skincare, the gel eye mask.

RéVive Skincare. Never heard of them prior to the samples...and I regret the samples!

Y'all, I tried the last sample tonight, an eye mask. My eye area has never felt more hydrated and no product has actually depuffed until this. Price: $30/mask or $100 for a 6 pack.

AIN'T NO WAY. I will just remain dry and puffy. I regret knowing these products exist.
