How many colognes and fragrances do you own?

marief2rnurse @marief2rnurse (2704) • United States 20 Feb 07

Over the years, I have accumulated about 80 different fragrances. And yet, sometimes I forget to spray some on before leaving the house. I love fragrances and when I see one I like, I have to buy it. I guess I'm addicted to them.

Camera for starters

For the pros out there, what camera would you recommend for starters in this field? Is it advisable to buy a DSLR or just the typical digital camera?

YuhMin Have you worked with SLR cameras before, or have you only had experience with point-and-shoot cameras? I'm not a pro, but I didn't attempt to even use an SLR until I was comfortable with the photography basics (films speed, shutter speed, light variations...

Souvenir - Do you buy one home?

noyida @noyida (795) • Singapore 21 Feb 07

Often, when we travel, we will buy souvenir for our family, friend and colleague? What normally do you pick for souvenir? Or do your really buy one as momento?

3 responses

YuhMin I love cheesy souvenirs, and I love meaningful, extraordinary souvenirs. I just love shopping for things that you can't really find back home, and having something to always remind you of your experience. What's a trip without lots of photos and a few...

Lush: Do you stash or do you buy as you need and use fresh?

hezoid @hezoid (2144) 21 Feb 07

I've noticed there are quite a few Lush fans on here, and being a Lush addict myself i thought i'd ask you all whether you tend to stash a hoard of Lush products or if you tend to buy what you need as and when you need it so that...

YuhMin I have to admit...due to the price of Lush and what I typically am willing to spend my money on...I almost never use stuff fresh. I usually either wait at least a week or so after I bought it. Or if it's something I know won't ever be remade (at least not for...

YuhMin For me, it's DEFINITELY American Cream and Sakura. Luckily, I've figured out that they last A LOT longer if you decant the perfumes into roll-on bottles. You use less perfume, but you get the same amount of scent. Mmm....

What's the wierdest flavor of ice creme you have ever heard of

Myrrdin @Myrrdin (3599) • Canada 16 Feb 07

Ok, everyone loves ice creme, or at least most people do. I know it is one of my many weaknesses. But what is the weirdest flavor you have ever heard of, and what is the most disgusting flavor as well. I know an ice creme shop...

YuhMin Not the oddest, but the BEST is Thai Iced Tea flavored ice cream. INCREDIBLE. I also love Red Bean ice cream, but that's not very weird in Asian cuisine.

What discontinued item were you most happy to see go?

krebstar5 @krebstar5 (1266) • United States 15 Feb 07

YuhMin Yeah, not too fond of the Ginger fragrance, so wasn't too sad to see it go. Bamboo was definitely not that impressive a soap or fragrance, so that was rightfully disconned, imho. I can see how it didn't sell so much. Seaweed Sushi was interesting to use,...

Bio-Fresh stamp card...have you seen this yet?

ma_belle @ma_belle (1357) • United States 15 Feb 07

YuhMin I've kept BioFresh up to three months after I bought them, and none have ever turned on me (I hear Cupcake is the hardiest), so I wouldn't worry about them turning. Plus, with this promo, it makes you just want to put on a mask every night. Heh heh. Not sure...

What is your new project in sewing?

ajinomoto23 @ajinomoto23 (1057) • Philippines 14 Feb 07

I bought some cloth and joined them with the old ones to make a bed sheet and a pillow. I also sew some short pants and give it to my neighbors. I repaired some of the old clothes of my neighbor - The stitches are broken.

Which fresh mask from Lush?

5000ml @5000ml (1923) • Belgium 15 Feb 07

I just went over mine and guess what I found? PINEAPPLE GRUNT soap... I guess it's not super old - but its not a remade D/C so it must be old right? anyways ... what are some oldies in your stash (not from remakes!) ?

YuhMin It's got to be this one chunk of gavarnie that I swapped for. It was discontinued in late 2002, right? The label says September, so it must be September 2002...Damn, that's old. Still smells great, though. :o)

YuhMin As soon as I'm done with my small Banana Moon stash, I'm really going to miss that soap. The scent was so unique and wonderful for me. It just makes me sad (pathetic, I know!) whenever Lush gets rid of the last product in a particular scent that I love.
