Lazy 3-day weekend poll ~ 3 questions for World Gratitude Day

Posted by Robin on 21 September 2024 130 Comments

Saturday is the International Day of Peace, World Gratitude Day, and Leonard Cohen’s birthday. It’s also the last day of (astronomical) summer…the Autumn Equinox will start early Sunday (in the northern hemisphere, at least). We’ve got 3 questions, but first, a few PSAs: the swapmeet is open! Donatella will be dropping by on October 3rd, and we’ll have our fall reading poll on the 5th.

1. What fragrance are you wearing today?

2. Name a perfume, or a brand, or anything about perfume, that you are grateful for, and tell us why.

3. What else are you grateful for as the seasons change this month?

Or, as always, just talk about something else…

The swapmeet (episode 25) is open for business! PLEASE read the instructions! (For those of you who refuse to read the instructions, please do not respond to anyone else’s comment except to say that their email address does not work. ANYTHING else you need to say, say it in an email. If you insist on responding to a comment, I will delete your comment. If you want to know how to swap for something, see #6 below!) For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, swapping, there will be a poll along shortly.

Don’t know what swapping is, or you know but you’ve never tried it? See here. You can also take a look at the feedback from episode 3, episode 4, episode 5, episode 6 and episodes 7-8, episodes 9-10, episodes 11-17.

Please, do not participate if you do not have time to mail your items within the next three weeks! Hopefully, another swapmeet will be coming up in the spring…

The entrance to the niche fragrance rabbit hole

Posted by Robin on 21 September 2024 2 Comments

It simply surprised me because the scent was not what I expected from common hotel toiletries. Instead of smelling typically clean and fresh, it's rich, floral, and complex. I even questioned whether it was too feminine to wear outdoors. Little did I know that was the entrance to the niche fragrance rabbit hole.
