Happy Almost-Friday! It's also National Thesaurus Day, aka Peter Mark Roget’s birthday. More birthdays: AA Milne, Cary Grant, Philippe Starck. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Imaginary Authors Yesterday Haze. I'm sure it has some relationship to something about Dolly Parton and I'll think of what it is by the end of the day, hopefully.
Reminder: 1/19 is Dolly Parton's birthday! Do what you like with the theme.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2024, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

Love the graphic!
I mentioned earlier this week that my daughter wears Coco Mademoiselle as her signature scent and she’s the biggest Dolly fan I know, so I’m wearing Coco Mad Intense today. Just an example, Dolly put out a few baking mixes in pink boxes with her face on the front; my daughter bought them all and has them displayed in her kitchen.
Did she get any of the Dolly perfumes yet? I saw one at tj Maxx and was tempted.
I think she has one, I remember seeing the butterfly bottle. I don’t know which one, though.
Robin, Dolly’s perfume Dancing Fireflies opens with an apple note, there’s your connection to Yesterday Haze.
Ha, good enough for me!
Houbigant Fleur D”oranger……THUNK 🙂
So good you thunked it twice!🤣
Lol!!! I’m back to stuttering
I had a sample, that i really liked, even if i am usually not a lover of orange blossoms.
I DO like orange blossom as a note and I certainly love this fragrance 🙂
Ummagumma today from my sample bag. I’m enjoying it. I think the first time I wore it was the wrong time of year, but it really works today.
You smell great! I did the same thing yesterday!
Partonesque fun, day four: Lolita Lempicka, which I think is supposed to be dreamy and romantic but smells to me like licorice allsorts and candied violets, pure pleasure.
I am thinking about getting a bottle, it’s cheap enough of Fragrancenet.
Wearing Amouage Memoir today and saving Lyric for tomorrow. I am happy that I am off work today but going to a doctor’s appointment today.
Good luck with your appointment.
Lyric is perfect! I may copy your idea, as I can’t think of anything Dolly-related.
Hope that your appointment was routine and uneventful.
In Nobile 1942 Malvs.
Happy almost Friday! 🌻
Now it’s really almost Friday!🌷
Happy Almost-Friday to you, PL67!
“Don’t take him just because you can.” Now those are some lyrics!
I’m going to spray Iris Silver Mist lavishly today, just because I can💜
And you smell divine😊
😊
Twins. for awhile it was really inexpensive-$40 CDN for the Le Vapo format, so I have loads. But I oversprayed and can’t wait to get clean 🙂
Hi Twin!
Like some others here, I caved last night and bought the dragon candle. I purchased it from the manufacturer’s website and got a free perfume sample. I’m looking forward to it and of course, the jar will be repurposed when the candle is complete. I’m holding NST responsible for this purchase because I was resisting right along with so many others, and then wham! People were weak and caved. I’m just following these examples! 😂
I’m wearing SL Un Bois Vanille again because it worked well yesterday and I’m wearing the same hoodie. I should have spritzed more though.
Finally signed a new contract, and hoping it’s the last, even though I think I say that every time. Had multiple interviews for positions in the SW, but the pay and ratios are absolutely atrocious, so I declined them. Anyway, I’ll be headed back to the PNW which I’m not mad about because by April and into May, it’ll be too hot here. I’ve also signed a summer contract with the USFS for camp hosting at a high elevation campground in Utah all summer starting in May. No internet, no hookups, very small campground in a fairly dense forest, bordering some red rock areas. I’m hoping that pans out with no hiccups. Time will tell.
Smell well y’all! Looking forward to getting my candle with inordinate delight!
Hoping this is your last contract and you can enjoy a well-deserved retirement! Camp hosting sounds like a great idea.
Well, I’ll still be working, but like 100% less stress! 😅
I had a friend that did camp hosting for a few summers in the Black Hills of South Dakota and absolutely loved it.
Good to know. I talked to a friend of a friend about this before I hit the road. Retired couple who lived at home in Florida for 5-6 months and then work camped mostly in Wyoming all summer. He loved it. They had a huge fifth wheel they towed. Asked him what his biggest pet peeve was and without a seconds pause he said, “The shoddy state of the American highway system!” And he is NOT wrong! 😂
Ugh, some of the highways in Indiana were the WORST paved roads I have been on. Ever.
I hope this last contract goes smoothly and that it is indeed your last!
Thank you! I’ve been to this hospital for two previous contracts, so unless things have changed drastically, I know what I’m getting myself in for.
Your first paragraph really made me laugh! For the record.. I did not purchase the candle. Lol
I don’t know what camp hosting is but I hope it’s great!
It only took one person to cave in. Then I followed suit. I’m spineless. 😅
Oh, the camp hosting, whatever that is sounds lovely, but won’t it be hot?
Deva can answer, of course, but she said it’s at a high elevation, so perhaps that means it’ll be cool. I also don’t know what camp hosting is, but I bet she’ll be good at it!
Aw, thanks for the bite of confidence. And you are absolutely correct about the higher elevation, one of the main reasons I applied for this location:
“The Ashley National Forest encompasses about 1.4 million acres in northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. Of the total acres, 276,175 are High Uintas Wilderness.”
Vote of confidence! 🤪
That sounds wonderful, Deva.
I too want this fellowship or whatever project I land to be my last.
Clearly there is a reason why people retire.
Did you read Cherry Ames Nurse books when you were young?
Cherry Ames, Camp Nurse
My sister read them all and for our entire lives we have called her Cherry Ames or Sister Luke ( from The Nuns’ Story) depending on what she is doing.
Since she is heading back to Tanzania on a medical trip she is currently called Cherry Ames, Bush Nurse.
I am of course unemployed still but that candle…mmmmmmm
good for you to get it and a gift with it.
My mom kept all of her books for me: Cherry Ames, Nancy Drew, and Trixie Belden, (which was my favorite because she got to ride horses all the time), The Hardy Boys and some others I can’t remember. Wish I still had them safely stored somewhere.
Bush nurse sounds SO exciting! If I was younger, I would look into doing something like that because I’m sure it’s very rewarding.
As for your unemployment, I have fingers, toes, eyes, every single appendage crossed for you! T-Rex does too and that’s no easy feat for a four legged! 🐕
I’m sure that candle will be lovely, but honestly, it was pure frustration that made me spring for it. I just have no patience anymore with inefficiency, laziness, sloppy work ethic, redundancy, ad nauseum. I don’t know why I’ve become so intolerant. But just do your effing job! Really, in five years I might be living in a cave somewhere with hibernating bear to keep me company because no one can stand me! 🫠🧸
You aren’t alone there. It’s probably good I retired three years ago. I can’t stand incompetence. Plus I have to be so organized to the level of OCD. Even in volunteer work I am like that. It drives some people crazy. We may be good cave mates🤣
All the books. Yes.
Cherry Ames, RV locums nurse.
You smell great and I think the camp hosting gig sounds perfect. I hope you love it. Mr. SP and I have discussed doing something like that as well.
Thanks, I’m glad I’m starting small and eventually hoping to possibly do other stuff that pays better. I was surprised to see they have full time “payroll” positions. Your site is part of you pay of course, but you also get an ok hourly wage, but don’t have to do any on the maintenance, cleaning, etc. Would be good for someone who is a retired numbers person.
🤣 you just have me an idea that I should not count the candle as a perfume purchase because: 1) I don’t think I have ever counted it as such and 2) if NST enabled me, then it shouldn’t count
I’m glad you have you next months mapped out!
Absolutely agree! It doesn’t count because, while it IS home fragrance, it’s also utilitarian because of that lovely jar. 🐉
It doesn’t take much to enable some of us😊
If I counted candles too on here, I would be in trouble.
What is camp hosting? I’ve never heard of it before.
Basically you’re a referee, maid, garbage man, fire ring sweeper, greeter, and toilet cleaner. Doesn’t that sound fun..?! 😂Really, you’re in a campground, surrounded by other campers, and making sure people follow the rules. It’s 25-30 hours a week, you make your schedule and keep track of the hours you work. Primary focus on answering camper questions, making sure sites are clean and neat, people have actually paid the fee, and are in the right site, and keep the toilet clean. This is a remote, small 8 site campground off a rarely traveled 2 lane mountain road. No hookups, no water, no cell signal, one pit toilet, and miles of wilderness. Probably not most people’s cup of tea, but I know I’ll love the autonomy and peace and quiet. Rangers come by occasionally and are available by sat phone for problems, which I’m hoping to avoid! 👍🏼
Sounds like being an RA or SA for campers instead of a college dorm. 😉
I need to start posting some sort of waiver on the daily lemmings 😉
Seriously hope all the rest of your plans go perfectly!
Thanks! But really, I’m so weak sometimes…like in the bakery section… 🍩 🫣
Given that last weekend poll was “talk off the ledge”, I feel like we’re doing a poor job of de-enabling each other!
😂 I bought my “on the ledge” bottle the next day
Score! 🙌
Under the weather this morning from a minor infection, so took the morning off. I have to say, telemedicine, when it works well, is a thing of beauty. I had a response last night from a NP in under 5 minutes and a prescription in hand in under an hour!
Am wearing a dab of Byredo Inflorescence. Which has a magnolia note. It doesn’t get much more Southern U.S. than magnola. And it doesn’t get much more Southern U.S. than Dolly. So a point for me.
Yes, telemedicine can be wonderful. I worked in that area for a few years. We reached out to people in remote areas that were lacking healthcare resources.
Very cool. I can see how it would be an incredible and important resource for rural or remote areas.
We recently saw a program at out local planetarium about life on the International Space Station. Any medical consultations the astronauts on the ISS receive is necessarily telemedicine, as there are no doctors on board. They have the capability to project a hologram of the doctor into the ISS so that it feels more like an actual live doctor visit.
Interesting and makes sense. Surely, though, there would be an opportunity for a GP/Astronaut up there?
Apparently there have been astronauts who were physicians, but not very many. Most of them typically have backgrounds in engineering. There are only 6 or 7 crew members on the ISS at any one time, so most of the time, there is no doctor on board. I do imagine, though, that an MD who wanted to become an astronaut might have an advantage in potentially being selected for a mission.
I was talking to a surgeon about, of all things, the Antarctic. I was surprised to learn that they (meaning physicians) recommend that researchers and scientists being sent into the field there all have cholecystectomies and appendectomies for preventative purposes prior to departure. Makes sense!
Dang.
I mean it makes prophylactic sense and all, given the risks.
But still…
Yikes. It does make sense, but still. An emergency airlift, if it could even happen, would still mean several hours’ flight.
Really?? The appendix doesn’t surprise me but the gallbladder does.
Gallstones, which are VERY common, lodged in your common bile duct can block your entire biliary tree. Liver, pancreas, gall bladder all drain into common bile duct. An obstruction requires urgent stone extraction, or potential for sepsis, liver failure, and other unpleasant outcomes, and emergent interventions are required, blah blah blah. Not something that can be handled at McMurdo station…a lap/chole for a healthy young person does have typical surgical risks, but generally, since there is no inflammation, scarring, or adhesions, it’s a very quick and safe surgery- with the caveat that all surgeries and anesthesia carry innate risks.
Aha. Well now I know!!
As a layperson with zero data on the subject, I’m surprised. Like, what are the rates of people getting infections in these organs under normal conditions? Or is the risk raised based on living in the Antarctic? Huh. Okay, avoiding Google. Don’t need to go down any rabbit holes tonight!
I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you! I’m doing much better.
agree! telemedicine is amazing!
it really seems to be!
agree! telemedicine is amazing!
Yay for quick treatment!
Trying to get the last ml out of my Ummagumma bottle, it’s a challenge. Have to tilt it just right to spray. Bottle thunk today!!
Woo-hoo! 👍
I can’t even remember when the last bottle I finished was – probably at least 20 years. I do want to replace it, but I have a sneaking suspicion I already have a backup somewhere, knowing my hoarding tendencies. 🙂 Will hunt for it since I’m on a no buy.
I’m keeping you to it. I had a partial fail with the Glasshouse dragon candle.
No, definitely NOT a fail. Just a fork in the road!
Thanks to my hoarding skills, I found a backup bottle. Holding strong!
Yaay!! Success!!
I am impressed! a full bottle 🙂
Okay, it was only 30mls, but it is still a full bottle thunk!
I am impressed! a full bottle 🙂
Good job and it’s such a good one!
w00t w00t w00t on the bottle thunk!
There is a rose bush named after Dolly Parton so I went with Byredo’s Rose of No Man’s Land today.
Snow and cold again today. Nice day for settling down with a book.
Scent twins! I am also wearing Rose of No Man’s Land, from my NM perfume advent calendar.
I love it. How about you?
So far, I like it very much. This is my first time giving it a full wearing, as before it was just a dab on one wrist to test it out. I have not had good luck with Byredo before. I had Bal d’Afrique and Gypsy Water, and ended up swapping or giving them both away, as they had a really off-putting note in the drydown, but so far I do not get that from RoNML.
I have not cared for too many of them either, but a few are very nice.
Glad to hear that some parts of the Midwest are getting some much needed moisture. The drought map was kinda scary late in 2023.
RIGHT, I saw that this week but stupidly did not think of wearing rose, good idea!
I’m wearing Le Cri for the CP. This scent and Dolly’s voice are both crystalline to me.
Very nice scent.
Hello.
Sotd is Chanel No.5.
Also layered it with the scented body cream. The cream feels (and smells) really nice. I will be sad when my sample is empty.
I love the body cream. I think I am on about my third or fourth jar of it.
Wearing Madame Rochas layered with a rose lotion. Smells amazing!!
I am happy i don’t have to work today and I have the whole house to myself!!
Wonderful! And you smell wonderful!
You smell great! I’m looking forward to being home alone myself this Sunday!
Theo Fennel scent for the office, as much over the top as a lot of Dollys clothing and hair, so i am claiming points.
Now i am labouring with a beginning virus infection with sore muscles and headache and will stay at home tomorrow
I’m sorry you are under the weather.
Hope you feel better soon!
Oh no, sorry tannina!
In Hermés Vetiver Tonka today, smelling lovely 😊
Happy almost-Friday!
Indeed you are! I need to wear that soon.
It’s Friday, we have a long weekend coming up, and my Luckyscent perfume samples finally escaped their never-ending travels around the US East Coast! I don’t know if my email to Luckyscent and their inquiry to the USPS were instrumental, but they were very helpful and my samples are now in Auckland.
Today is everything – warm and sticky and cloudy and windy, and we will probably also get sun and rain. I’m wearing Sortilège from Le Galion, it fits well anywhere.
Yay for your samples getting out of the US!
Smoothie was a tea with lemon, I hope I’ll be able to sleep, it’s late to drink tea. I saw Rouge Nocturne this morning and it’s been a while, great combo rose/patchouli and the rose essence is lovely, so natural, I think it’s my favorite of this genre, not much connection to DP though and tonight another heavy scent, vintage 10 Corso Como, I remember how excited I was to see the list of ingredients, only alcohol, parfum and water. This has happened several times, unknowingly getting pristine vintage bottles, another notable was Aromatics Elixir which smells divine.
I dream of pristine vintage bottles. You have some real beauties Aurora.
Thank you Lillyjo, bargain vintage bottles have become rarer since last year, but I’m on a low buy in any event.
You have some of the most amazing items in your Perfume Stash.
Those two were especially nice surprises. Like you I am on a low buy now and anyway bargains are much more difficult to come by.
Hey guess where I am? The car mechanics because they didn’t tighten my lugnuts after my oil change last week! And they started coming out on my back tire! Grrr..
My sotd is Terracotta. I’m still trying to talk myself off the ledge with it. I probably should just save my money for future car repairs. Lol.
Lugnut is a new word for me😃 Hope they can be tighten for free as they had forgotten to do it. Can you get Terracotta from FragranceNet at a good price? If not I could send you a decant from France in September as the stupid ban on sending perfume abroad is still in force in the UK.
They did tighten and inspect everything for free. I am also getting my next oil change for free.
I have a couple of decants of Terracotta. I just keep thinking about getting a bottle before it disappears.
Oh good, so you’re not starved for it but it’s true a bottle is more satisfying on many levels.
Ugh. That’s annoying
And I won’t talk you out of the Terra-cotta but look for a discount if you can
Fragrancenet has it….just sayin’ 😈
I see it.. lol
They also have something else that caught my eye. I’m like a squirrel!
We all are 🐿️🐿️🐿️🤪
Spill the beans….what was the other thing?
LPRN Rose Cherie
If I can figure out how to get to free shipping I will cave.
Do it 🤪🤪
Fragrancenet shipping is free over $59, surely you will meet the threshold with two bottles? 😁
We are Tire Tribulation Twins! 🤣
The Triple T Threat!
But I do NOT understand why they were messing with your tires for an oil change..?
They rotate them during the oil change.
Ahhh! Of course!
Ugh that’s a shame! Gladly they’re being good about some compensation.
Yes, and I didn’t even have to ask. Although I would have.
OMG! 😬
So thankful that I can ask my brother to do an oil change for me. He might say “No”, but I do have the option. I know he wouldn’t eff with anything else…
He would probably be extra cautious!
Wearing Akro Bake today, and pretty much all of this week. I moved my samples from a jumbled up box behind my desk to a jumbled up drawer on my desk, so theoretically I could sample something new or relatively new.
But it’s Chanel Boy and Akro Bake all week. I did mix it up with some Xerjoff Lira the other night at bedtime. And Chanel 1956 at bedtime.
At least you looked at your samples!
I associate you with Boy now. How are you liking you newish bottle?.There’s something so wonderful about it. Maybe it’s a version of Jicky that doesn’t get too stinky on me…whatever it is, it’s good😊
P.S. When I was sampling it at Nordstrom recently and commenting about the beautiful lavender notes, the Chanel SA told me it doesn’t have a lavender note and that I must be smelling geranium. I should work there and get the discount!
P.S.S. And to be clear, I think Boy wonderful in its own right, and not a “version” of anything🥇
SOTD is SMN Tobacco Toscano.
The interview for the fellowship lasted an hour and a half. I have no idea how I did. Something else to worry about. I will hear back by next Friday if they want to keep me in the candidate selection pool.
Got Tom Lake by Anne Patchett for my car- yay that was a score at the library.
Botox later – courtesy of a Christmas gift from my sister.
Looking forward to seeing how you like Tom Lake. It’s on my listening list. Really enjoyed The Dutch House, which is the only book of hers I’ve read.
FWIW, I enjoyed the book.
I love Anne Patchett. Enjoy!
Fingers crossed for you 🤞
If they hated you the interview would have lasted 10 minutes. I am hoping the length means the job is yours.
Exactly! The fact it lasted so long is a good sign.
Dolly Parton has a huge literacy initiative to get books to underserved children, so that could be the connection with Imaginary Authors.
Wearing LVEB Iris Absolu today. Wish the iris in the opening lasted longer. All the LVEB’s are kind of over-the-top, so maybe that’s my Dolly connection.
That iris opening is wonderful.
Yes, it’s a great program…they help sign kids up in my local library. But should have thought to link it to IA, thanks!
I’m in Theorema today. It’s Mr. SP’s birthday! Although today is the official day, I took him to see Boys in the Boat yesterday and tomorrow night is the special steak dinner he asked for because we both have a meeting to attend this afternoon/evening. Kids will stop by this weekend. I’m going to make him the Smitten Kitchen German Chocolate Cake which he loves. Link below.
https://smittenkitchen.com/2017/08/german-chocolate-cake-a-wedding-cake/
How did you like Boys in the Boat? It’s on my list.
It’s a well done uplifting movie. I was a little disappointed that they didn’t develop the characters more than they did, but I know it’s hard to do everything in 120 minutes.
The book is fantastic!
Happy birthday to hubby
Cake sounds amazing
I recommend the book. Read it last spring
Yes, I’ve read it–very good!
Happy birthday to Mr. SP!
Thanks, hajusuuri!
Happy Birthday to your Husband!
Thanks, lillyjo!
Happy Birthday wishes to Mr. Springpansy!
Thanks, jalapeno!
Happy birthday to Mr. S! Mine loves German chocolate cake too.
Thanks, Cazaubon!
Happy Birthday, Mr. SP! Diorisssssimo!!!
😀 ha – thanks, allo!
Sampling Eau de Magnolia today. I’m not that familiar with Dolly’s music (except Jolene!), but maybe she mentions magnolia at some point…?
She was in the movie Steel Magnolias! Points for you!
You’ve come up with some very creative justifications for this CP. You are on 🔥🔥🔥!
I’m still trying to think of something for tomorrow.
I like this interpretation! May need do copy it
Wearing vintage L’aimant today, which is like if Chanel No 5 took a trip to Guerlain’s patissier.
Oh my, this sounds like it could smell like heaven!
SOTD = Fzotic Ummagumma
😍 There were a good number of mentions and I just had to wear it!
https://www.instagram.com/p/C2Qg9S0RtC_/?igsh=NHZjaHZ5dXRxc2Ns
Has anyone ever or have been tempted to do 23andme? I have no desire to but kept seeing articles (or questions) related to unexpected results. Thanks.
I have never ever wanted to give my DNA to any company ever.
My son was saying it would be cool to see who we might be distant relatives with, in case we were royalty or something. Lol
I said it wouldn’t change anything. I don’t even want to talk to some of the relatives we know about. Lol.
Ditto this. 👍🏼
Lol – so true. But I am curious.
about my DNA, I mean.
I think Ummagumma will be my SOTD tomorrow, after reading so many posts mentioning it!
I would never do the 23andMe stuff. I don’t trust those companies to do the right thing with that information, or keep it safe from hacks and/or data breaches.
Like others, I would never give my DNA. The results would be interesting but not worth the risk.
My entire family did it — my parents, my siblings, we all did our kids, many of my cousins have done it. We did find some 2nd cousins & such, which wasn’t the reason we did it.
I found out plenty of actionable health information, which was my primary reason for doing it. I am well aware that no way is my DNA “safe” but I figure I will probably be dead before anybody figures out anything nefarious to do with stolen online DNA.
Also if someone wants DNA from a particular person it is not that hard to get and it’s pretty cheap.
That’s exactly how I feel about the security aspect. If one of my relatives is a serial killer and they nab ‘em from my DNA, good. My garbage can is unlocked, plenty of DNA in there every week. And if they develop tech to engineer a pathogen to target my DNA, hey, I’d want to check out of the game, anyway. That’s not a world I want to try to b survive.
I’ve done both Ancestry and 23&Me. It’s really just been entertainment. No deep revelations or surprises.
Since we did it many years ago, it’s been interesting to see how the “heritage” calculations have changed over the years as their pool of data has gotten larger.
Both are more-or-less accurate to what I understood my heritage to be. 23&Me pinpointed some of my ancestry to a very, very small region of Switzerland, which I know to be accurate (assuming no milkmen in my tree) and tied to the branch that most recently moved to the US.
We were hoping for a “fun” surprise but did not get one.
We verified that we had some Ashkenazi heritage, which we assumed but did not know for sure, and that we did not have any of the problematic BRCA genes.
After reading through Dolly’s Wikipedia page over the weekend, I thought a tobacco perfume would be fitting since her father was a tobacco sharecropper. So today I went with a new one from Chris Rusak called Ochre that prominently features tobacco alongside hay absolute, saffron, ambergris, tonka, and sandalwood. I like it a lot!
Thanks for that tip, goves me ideas for tomorrow!
Another creative CP interpretation!
That’s very interesting. I knew there was a reason I randomly grabbed a bottle of Frank 3 this evening and sprayed liberally – tobacco and Dolly!
Oh, very nice! I’ve not tried Frank 3.
I got it years ago at an Essenza garage sale – perfume math free so I had to buy it! It never would have been on my radar otherwise and I really enjoy it.
Ooh happy for you for the bargain and perfume discovery!
Productive day today! Picked up a few things I needed at Home Depot and checked out a local pet supply store. Teflon kitty is going to need refills on her food eventually, and it would be nice not to rely on Chewy.com for everything.
It was almost 50 degrees here earlier, but temperatures slipped on the proverbial banana peel and tumbled into the basement. The overnight low is supposed to be around 3 degrees F (that’s -16 C). Very thankful I have a LOT of thick wool socks.
SOTD = yeah, you all know what it is. Boyfriend Body Creme on my shins. Maybe I will actually wear perfume tomorrow? No promises, though.
50 down to 3! That’s crazy!
Is it going to snow?
Nope, no snow in the forecast here. Wild temperature swings are not unusual for Colorado weather.
Latest update I saw had the overnight temp getting to 6 or 7 degrees F instead of 3. Every little bit helps… 🥶
Yay for productive day. Sounds like Colorado weather agrees with you, amazing these highs and lows during the same day. Hope you have a good heating system.
My sinuses are the happiest they have been in years out here in CO. Hopefully I am saying the same thing in springtime, when all the pollen shows up. 🤧
I had to put another blanket on the bed last night. But I was toasty warm under those bedcovers! Flannel sheets are a Very Nice Thing to have out here.
HVAC seems to be up to the task. Not looking forward to my January heating bill, though!
Today was DS&Durga Deep Dark Vanilla, because the sample was on the kitchen table (got it with my bottle of LO Alambar that arrived earlier in the week).
What a dud. I barely got vanilla, and forgot I was wearing it minutes after I sprayed. I’ll give it one more shot, and massively overspray.
Just added some Les Indemodables Vanille Havane, which is so much more worthy of the “Deep Dark Vanilla” moniker.
“Forgot I was wearing it” is the absolute worse. At least it was just a sample!
