☆ Turns out I'll be by myself for Canada Day. This is a good thing! I enjoy peace and quiet a lot. Maybe I'll get some writing done? Oooh, or I could practice playing my harmonica! In fact, why not both? :D I checked the town's celebration schedule, but aside from possibly the parade, there wasn't really anything to interest me. So, I'll just look ( Read more... )

✿ Mail service has resumed in Fort McMurray. Mum's going to cancel our mail forwarding tomorrow. So, new stuff should come to my address as usual. Might be a little slower than the typical 2 weeks due to backlog, but we'll see ( Read more... )

This is silly, but I'm posting it anyway. Today I found myself thinking that the scent I was wearing reminded me a lot of Sigrun - so why not pick out scents to match my impressions of the whole crew....

This is probably the last sample batch that I'll be ordering for a while. I have a lot hanging in my drawer, so - I might as well enjoy them. Some of these were a little disappointing, but I think they might grow on me over time. Others were definite winners.

Well - here we go. 7 fragrances by Traveling Vardo. From what I remember, all of these are from the permanent collection. At least one of these was an ( Read more... )

Aha, finally got around to testing the autumn scents from TravelingVardoThese popped up in my Etsy recommendations, and I decided to try them on a whim. Overall, the results were pretty decent, and I was really happy with some of these scents. Others were a miss. Some of them might not be for everybody. My order was samples-only, but I might pick ( Read more... )

✿ The leaves are starting to turn! Ugh, already? Well, it's only a few, but still. I see gold, and it's not the kind of gold I want to see - cash only, please, toss those loonies here. But leaves? No thank you, I'll pass! Too early for this, grumble grumble. I'm not ready for it to be autumn. The mornings are already too cold ( Read more... )

A few months ago, I decided to try some samples of For Strange Women's cologne oil (so, fragrance for strange men rather than strange women, I suppose...) While these are marketed as cologne, I'd say they lean very unisex, and - well, I apply the same thing to it as anything else. If it sounds good to you, wear whatever you want ( Read more... )

I picked up some solid perfumes by Lush while I was in Victoria: Breath of God, Karma, Sun, and Sikkim Girls. These have been out for a while, but since there isn't a Lush store where I am, I never really got around to trying them (I'm reluctant to buy things like that unless I know exactly what it smells like). I have tried some of Lush's solids ( Read more... )
