NST taking a short break…

Posted by Robin on 25 May 2006 13 Comments

Guerlain Jicky perfumeApologies for the lack of posts yesterday. I am feeling tired for no good reason, and am simply not in the mood for perfume. Giving my nose & mind a rest, and hope to be back tomorrow with the news and a perfume review.

In the meanwhile, check out this piece in the UK Times Online about the Guerlain Institut de Beaute, where...

Fur-clad French women walk about squirting bits of this and that on to black fans, waving them about, and sniffing in a chic manner.

    Enjoy a rest. Running a website is a big job, and perfume sure isn't going anywhere.

    Taking a break to clear your mind and the air (literally!) is always a prudent thing to do, especially when you are feeling the “pinch” of life.

    Take care of yourself, R. That is the most important thing. We will be here when you return.

    Hugs!

    Not … not in the mood for perFUME?!?

    Well, okay, then. If you are having sun today, it's a nice day for the garden.

    The end of the school year is always so busy R — I'm sure you know! Looking forward to some quiet after it is all over :-)

    Sometimes it feels like work. That's when it's time for a break. After I wrestle with the stuff in the yard (I survived putting my climbing roses up), perfume suddenly looks … better. ;-)

    LOL — after painting all day, perfume is looking better to me too! But now my son has his blue bedroom…and so glad you have climbing roses, they are my favorites.
