For those who don't know, I've fallen into Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs pretty hard and have lately been obsessing about various oils. And of course since I am an awful person, most of the ones I want seem to be hard to find lol I've gotten lucky with a few and now own some bottles i love as well as back-ups of some of my favorites. I'm waiting ( Read more... )

Arugula! Mmmmm ... maybe I should try growing that!

BTW ... your packy should be there today if it already hasn't arrived. ^_^

They all came!!!!!!! OMG!!!! You picked amazingly well. I never expected to love Lolita because the released version has lavender but this version is so sweet and sugary! And SCURVY! OMG SO YUMMY! I had heard Punkie Nights was very appley but I am mostly getting Chamomile o_O; Toxin is really pretty.

I have some small things to send to you and I am still waiting on the decanting stuff. But I might try to mail you something tomorrow any way. I hope you like what I'm sending :D

You should wait until Fall for arugula, it likes bright sun but doesn't like it very warm or it will bolt. ~.~ Our summer has been very cool and the arugula in the picture keeps trying to bolt but I won't let it. It grows very fast though. I would highly recommend it.

The problem is that some hydrangea are now being bred to be more likely to be one particular color (like Blushing Bride is biased towards pink) These were supposed to be varieties that naturally tended to blue and they were blue in 2007 when I planted them. It's just odd that without amending the soil as far as I know they're now pink! It's a lovely color, but I might put in some sulfur to make them blue... or at least one of them blue, or do something with the potted ones. I want some blue flowers! lol ( ... )

Garden is looking good! I need to take pics of my few potted plants, now that I have some.

I didn't know that you liked BPAL! I adore them! Just got my Berry Moon in yesterday--I haven't ordered a lunacy since Peony Moon a few years ago, but Berry Moon sounded interesting. Am going to try it on today, will make post about it later. Also got bottles of Glasgow and New Orleans with this order.

Other favorites are London, Vinland (now discontinued) and Catherine.

I almost got the Berry Moon tshirt (the design was so pretty), but I've kinda put myself on a moratorium for clothes (except thrift-shop) until my weight stabilizes. Although I still may order the 13 shirt because it really goes well for Halloween...

You totally should! We had a minor setback today where our one female pumpkin flower went yellow and died, but after reading on the internet, it sounds like the plant was just not ready to have fruit yet. I am hoping by the time we get the next female flowers it is able to carry the pumpkins, cause PUMPKIN!

Oh yes, I've been buying bottles occasionally before thanks to twotone but now I have fallen hard. My Berry Moon is still in transit. But I've been bad and using the money I've made in sales to buy some things and I had a few friends pick me up things from events. >>;; I so want to go to a trunk show now!

I'm planning to try Toxin I think today. I tried Midway Ressurected yesterday (LOVE IT)

I'm not as into the clothes but I got a free testable squirt and now need to find it again, it smells so YUMMY! :D

Are you on the forum or any of the comms?

reynardine July 25 2009, 15:09:06 UTC

I'm reynardine on the forums, but I've haven't posted anything on them in years. But now that I know you're into BPAL, I'll definitely need to make a list of the ones I have (and my imps)!

rkold July 25 2009, 15:16:07 UTC

I need to make a wishlist. I'm rkold on the forums, I tend to use that as my username whenever I can.

I have a lot of imps. I've been frimping the ones I don't like when I can. Luckily a bunch of people I know like scents that I don't like lol

Have you tried any of the shunga scents? I love one of them, but the other 2 I tried just made me feel queasy ;;_;;
