NOT trying to get you to buy something... my habit!

[xanthvamp]

I tease, but this is just me talking.

SO... I went a little crazy, but didn't actually spend that much! :) But now I'm waiting for a TON of scents. I am waiting for:

From decantmonkey: BPAL's POISONED APPLE, WRATH, THE GREAT SWORD OF WAR, SERAGLIO, KUMIHO, WHITE RABBIT, EDEN, GLASGOW, CENTZON TOTOCHTIN and OCHOSI. I paid for this like May 4th :P. - I didn't

Yes, I think we all need to like... sponsor each other to help stay on the wagon! I need to start saving money for my trip to Washington in July, and Piper's first birthday party. Oy. Okay. I am officially not allowed to run any circles until mid July! You got that?? If I start gaging interest, Don't support me! LOL
Swaps though? Yea, let's do lots of that instead :)

I should change my lj name to "DON'T SELL PERFUME TO ME!!"

[xanthvamp]

*laughs* Yeah... I have a big belly dance thing coming up at the end of June and there are VENDORS there... o_O

*nods* Got it ;).

*laughs* TELL me about it.

While we're listing habits.
-Definitely the perfume oils. And the supplies to make my own.
-Cloth Diapers. Oh how I love them and yes, SOMEHOW, totally addictive.
-RANDOM weekly craft projects that I MUST do, lol
-and my other community of financial demise: lj_coop. I can't resist a good deal. Even if I totally don't NEED whatever it is.

see, as soon as you feel confident with the blending, you TOTALLY need to set up an etsy shop and get selling!! ^_^
i know we'd all buy from you! i even know what you could call your line:
"PAX" ... right? you get it? "Piper And Xander"!!!
plus the added bonus of it being latin for "peace". right?!?

(and i know that's opposite the actual birth order, but it makes more sense than XAP. unless you pronounce XAP like ZAP, but you don't strike me like the hyper "zappy" type, you're more of the mellow "peacenik" type... at least online you are.)

sorry - the name just came to me and i got all sorts of excited and wanted to share. not crazy, i promise... this is just... how my brain works. *LOL*

[ilwitchgrrl]

I think it's a good name, for what it's worth :) PAX Perfumes!

[belfrey]

i kind of have a talent for naming things - my friends' pets, children, and especially the business endeavors of others.
there has GOT to be some way that i can get paid for that. o_O

[belfrey]

"hello, my name is belfrey... and i am an addict." *holds up candle*
"i'm an enabler too, so if you see me coming... run." *LOL*

seriously though, i wasn't PLANNING to do another decant circle until sometime in mid june. i was putting together a post to get some feedback - decide who we were wanted to try next - and then i saw those 4 magic letters ...
S A L E
and all hope was lost. *LOL*
(but seriously, with this sale we're saving like 75 cents PER SAMPLE over what i'd worked out that it would cost at the regular price.)

other current obsessions include:
-baking cupcakes (like my fat ass NEEDS them)
-trying to get my front garden to look like a garden and not a neglected lawn
-getting my etsy store up and running... SOON so i can get stuff sold, so i have monies to support my perfume addiction!!!

repeated editing due trying to make myself look clever. *lol*

[xanthvamp]

*laughs*

Oh! You can add candles to my obsesions too ;).

I know... those 4 little letters alway get to me too. It's an awesome discount. I'm stoked!

Not too bad, I like your obsessions.

[duality_duel]

I.... need to run a decant circle with what I bought.

*hangs head in shame*

*shame, I tell you*

[xanthvamp]

Awww... it's ok! I think... as long as you can still afford food, it's all good ;).

[ilwitchgrrl]

A therapy post! This is just what I needed today

[belfrey]

as a fat girl, i have to say that the perfume thing was WAY easy to get sucked into: one size truly does fit all. it's a hell of a lot less frustrating, humiliating and painful that shopping for clothes!!! ^_^

[ilwitchgrrl]

I can totally relate to that sentiment. I have never been into shopping for clothes, because they just don't fit right. Or I don't like the ones that DO fit. Or I like them but I don't like the number on the tag. Or I'm convinced I'm going to fit into a smaller size "soon", so I don't bother.
I end up wearing a lot of really crappy hand-me-downs from relatives.

(I don't mean 'crappy' in quality. Either they don't fit ME right or they're not my style, but I wear them anyway. Because I have nothing else.)

It's sad. But probably better for my pocketbook.

[belfrey]

i'd say we should start a support group, but can you imagine how many THOUSANDS of women probably feel exactly the same way??
it wouldn't be a support group, it would be like a religion!!
