Good Mornthing!
8/11/18 08:01Holy crap I smell good, y'all.
I was going through my tin of perfumes, sniffing one after another and getting increasingly dissatisfied. They were all musk and citrus and sweet, and not at all what I was after....and then I realized that what I was after was probably among my Solstice Scents vials, not my BPAL vials. So I went to my array of SS smells and picked through, and pulled out Manor.
Now, I basically haven't touched most of my SS smells for the better part of a year, some of them two or more. That is why the oils in the vial? Had separated. I spent a few minutes tilting it back and forth, upending and righting it, watching the bubble swirl through light and dark oils to mix them together in slow, thick swirls. I thought about the bubbles found in the tubes of carpentry levels, and tilting them back and forth this same way when I was a child. Is it not funny how disparate things can have something so in common?
Finally the oils were all enough one color that I felt confident to open the vial and put some on. And I smell. So. GOOD. According to the site, it is a combination of "Woody-Vanilla Musk, Vanilla & Glorious Aloeswood." According to me, it smells as if I am that woman playing hide and seek on her wedding day and have hidden within the cedar chest in the attic, nestling in the dark amongst the scent of wood and the softness of my own silk gown and the rich aged vanilla that I am wearing for the first time, unaware that the lid has latched and I may not be found for years.
SO GOOD.
Wednesday weirdness is a thing. The Spawn have a half day of school, which means they will be arriving home just around when I am leaving for work. Except for Youngest, of course. When I went to wake him he was already up, and informed me that he had vomited about an hour before. He has vomited twice since then, poor dude. :(
...wait, it's not Wednesday. It's Thursday.
It's Thursday, right?
