There’s starting to be a theme emerging in fragrances I like - fig. Jo Malone Fig and Lotus Flower, The Now by Sarah Horowitz, and today’s sample of Veritas by Memoize London. Veritas is not as light as the first two, but they all have a note I’m drawn to that seems unique. Gotta be the fig.

Just wondering if anybody finds it possible to make a bundt cake without replaying the whole scene from My Big Fat Greek Wedding in their head?

Got some fragrance samples in the mail today. I really liked The Now by Sarah Horowitz. Fresh, clean, slightly green, musky. But, dang, it disappears in no time flat leaving only a faint musk. Might experiment with putting some vaseline underneath it to see if it prolongs the scent. Score 9

Fragrance diary: Last night, I wore my sample of YSL Libre to a friendsgiving. It’s one of 2 florals I’ve found I like. Seems to have mass appeal which is good ‘cause it’s a bit strong. It’s a little sweeter/heavier than I’d want in warm weather, but I’d get a travel size for sure. Score of 9.

Human, I’ll have you know you were an hour late with my breakfast this morning. I don’t care that it’s the first day of your week-long holiday. I expect breakfast to be served as usual. #caturday

My local Kroger has this. I’m supposed to take deviled eggs to a friendsgiving. Should I show up with this and let them think I don’t also have the eggs? 😁

Next up in my fragrance reports: the Salt & Stone santal/vetiver and the bergamot/hinoki. When I smelled these at Sephora, I loved them both and ordered (because store only had testers) a small size of the body lotion and fragrance mist in both. I’ve worn each on 2 days. I like the santal/vetiver

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

We’ve changed vets recently because the previous one retired, and I’m loving this place. They ask you to stay in the car and call to say you’ve arrived, then they call when there’s an exam room ready. Kia’s getting her yearly.

Yesterday, on my perfume-sniffing safari, I tested Remi by Rosie Jane in a card. It’s very green and herbal. Thinking I liked it, I sprayed some on the back of my hand. It wasn’t very long before I started to have flashbacks to my hs bathroom in 1980. Yep, strong note of cannabis. I was about an

While I was out at the doc this morning, I had to return something to the mall, so I stopped in at Sephora to sample more scents! Today's review is for Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez. I like it. And, for a change, I like it most after I've worn it for a couple of hours. At first, you get a lot of

If this doc were not the best one I’ve ever had, I’d be more annoyed than I am that my appt was at 9:45, and I’m still waiting. 😬 He’d better be delivering a baby.

I made 12 Calzones a la @goodport.bsky.social tonight! Some are meatball with ricotta, marinara, and mozzarella; some are chicken with ricotta, roasted onions and peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and pesto; and one is BBQ pork with red onions & baked beans!

Posting a belated review of the Versace Dylan turquoise because I thought at first I liked it, but after wearing it all day recently, I don’t. This is a 5. I like the citrus, aquatic smells I get at first, and at several hours out, I like the woodiness. The middle step, though, is a high-pitched
