Can I just say how lovely you are?

[popularinthe80s]

Can I just say that?
It's an abrasive, sad and challenging world out there, for all sorts of reasons, Covid and otherwise
I have realised that S&B is my 'apparently frivolous but actually important' daily pick up
I see people giving each other affirming, kind, humorous advice, all in the aim of making us feel better about ourselves. Thank you.

What a lovely sentiment. You absolutely deserve to go spend a little bit of money on something frivolous for yourself today 😍.

Yes i love this thread.

I was asking about the original Y perfume from YSL and people gave me suggestions of other Chypres - most of which I had tried, some I had forgotten about! I always try to remember to thank people.

I completely agree - I often click into trending threads and scurry straight back here!

(Now, buy that leather skirt, @popularinthe80s.)

I agree - yes everyone on here regularly is lovely.

However, if a thread becomes too popular and ends up trending, posters from other boards can come across very differently.

I am not even stylish. I wfh and live in Uniqlo and M and S, with no call for anything more glam, but I keep coming on here because it is so calm and soothing.

You too OP, what a lovely sentiment to share on a freezing day. I love the sharing of ideas and helpfulness on this board so I agree 💄

💥 👩‍❤️‍👩

What a lovely post OP. I love S&B for its calm, supportive nature and the total lack of the nasty, bitchy and, quite frankly, downright vile comments that can be found on other areas of MN. Long may it continue!

I come here everyday, I love the advice and I have found some lovely clothes thanks to other posters who have given me ideas and mentioned websites I hadn't heard of.

I am also relived to know that I am not the only old girl in the world struggling with bloody spotty skin, I never sufferd as a teenager but now!, thank you menopause!

You're so right, style and beauty is such a lovely, relaxing and supportive place and we all look amazing here due to the wonderful advice even in our pandemic loungewear

Yes it is lovely but costs me a fortune

That’s lovely OP I agree. Even though I’ve got new clothes that are still unworn, I love a look at S&B and also having an online browse.

I agree! Someone lovely recommended balmonds cream for my sore face and it is brilliant! Some great advice here

So glad you agree.
It may seem like frippery, but all these people wanting one simple thing, to make each other feel good about themselves - it's honestly kept me going.
And @Judystilldreamsofhorses, I just might:-)

I agree, this is a lovely supportive board

Totally agree, this is now my favourite board and has been far more helpful than any of the others.

I love s&b too. It's a lovely respite from reality.

I’m another daily visitor. I’m probably a bit older than most posters, but the posts on this thread keep me up to date with products and style. It’s like having a lovely chat with girlfriends over a cup of coffee, or glass of fizz.
The gardening threads are my other lovely go to. Thank you.

It's my happy place

Completely agree.
Was confirmed for me this evening by the Felicity kendall boots thread.
Theres another thread going at the moment with some very cruel comments about FK.
Yet the lovely people on here are complimenting her boots. It restored my faith in other women.

It’s my favourite bit of MN along with the litter tray and elderly parents
Lots of support and help and advice
The trouble people go to to find items for others is fab I wouldn’t know where to start
Very affirming
I also spend far too much after being given ideas on here

Yeah, it's a nice corner of MN 🥂

I agree OP, I love S&B and really only look through this board now on MN. I find it harder to tolerate the sniping and goading on other boards these days. Thanks for saying what we all seem to think.
