The scent of a Soul

[sylvar]

I've noticed a funny thing since I started wearing Soul by CurveIt's not that anyone has said "Hey, you smell great". It's just that, by taking a few seconds in the morning to do something nice for myself, I get a little boost and I tend to feel better during the day. (And if I need a boost, I sniff my wrist. Seriously

Yes, I think you are. :)

Some essential oils serve that purpose for me. They help me wake up, mellow, or feel more *mrowr*.

[sylvar]

Heh. I'm all in favor of *mrowr*. What essential oils do you use for what?

[heathrow]

For me, sandalwood mellows, mint peps me up, and lotus puts me in the *mrowr*.

I'd advise hitting your local Whole Foods/Wild Oats/crunchy granola megamart and spend some time whiffing the various oils.

Hm. I don't have one of those. I've got Nature's Harvest on MacDill, right around the corner from Alessi, but we don't have a Whole Foods unless I drive to Sarasota, the nearest Wild Oats is even further away, and I don't think the nouveau trache at The Fresh Market would cotton to oil-sniffery. (Good produce and spices, though.)

I don't wear fragrance, but I definitely noticed the same effect when I started shaving again. I think I even blogged about it then, too. ;)

Just don't overdo it! ;)

You know my thoughts on fragrance already :P

Soul for Women is ick unfortunately.

[switchknitter]

I've never worn perfume, so I wouldn't now. Huh. Maybe I should start...

[sylvar]

Email me your address and I'll send you a small sample bottle of "for men" and "for women". As vixi said, some women like the men's scent better.

We don't need no steenkin' topics!

No, I haven't found myself spending more money. I might use holiday money for a new bottle instead of a kitchen gadget or some movies, but I wouldn't divert money from paying bills or paying off debt in order to indulge.
