Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is celebrating today!
Whether you’re celebrating or not, feel free to talk about anything you like: what fragrance you’re wearing today, what perfume you're especially thankful for, what you’re going to cook or eat today...whatever you like, so long as it doesn’t conflict with our comment policy.

No fragrance yet but I think I’ll continue our cheap thrills theme and honor the season with Tibetan Mountain Temple.
And we’ll be scent twins if you do. Love TMT this time of year!
I know. It’s so warm and comforting.
I did a quick cheap thrill with Demeter Gingerale when I got up. About to switch to my old Thanksgiving standby, Theorema 🙂
Oh boy you smell festive! TMT is one of my all time favorite perfumes ever….it smells like gingerbread on my skin….
From the mouth of babes… (I’ll come back later with a confession)
Radio host: What is the best part of the turkey?
Child: The CHICKEN!
Radio host: Where did you find chicken in the turkey?
Child: The outside.
Have you heard of the experiments they’ve done asking kids to draw chicken? Apparently, kids in cities often draw chicken parts wrapped in plastic, as they don’t associate the meal with the animal. . . wish I could teach a foods and cooking class at my school.
It’s not only kids. I was in the deli section of the grocery store when a young woman ordered roast beef, saying “Is that cow or pig?”
Ha! Oy.
haha I think it’s because people get confused with the word “beef” and “meat” since meat could be any animal. She probably thought about it afterwards and got embarrassed, it has happened to me on similar situations where I think “shoot they must think I am so ignorant”, oh well, you live you learn, that is a life process, there is so much to learn about, in 20 more years you will know a lot more than you did before, even when you are dying you are still learning something new.
I am laughing out loud here. I just remembered a little gem from a few years back, when someone asked for buffalo wings, and didn’t know what she were asking for obviously, as when they arrived she complained to her partner that she’d asked for buffalo, but got chicken. She then went on to say “what’s a buffalo like anyway?” We were sitting in a group of eight around a table and we almost choked with laughter.
O_O That is so sad!
That’s all kinds of wrong! I can understand inquiries regarding different types of fish but not knowing beef is from a cow?
As someone who produces beef for a living – yep. We hear it allll the time.
Oh my, I can believe that. Kind of reminds me of the old joke that chocolate milk comes from brown cows!
Maybe it was one of those turduckens? (Which are just plain wrong, btw.)
I mentioned turducken at work and most have not heard of it!
For a moment I thought that it was a child from a foodie family that cooks a turducken/turchicken for Thanksgiving 🙂 (I see from the comment above, I wasn’t the only one)
Ha! My sister once s rved turducken but she misread the baking instructions and we ended up with a dried out turducken.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I almost made it through my cup of coffee before my MIL had me “helping” with the turkey. Yuck. I really detest the odor of raw poultry and in a fairly typical twist of fate, my nose isn’t stuffy this morning and I can smell very well.
Once I take my first shower of the day I will be wearing some Taklamakan. I figure that it will bloom nicely in the heat of the kitchen (and flaring tempers) and won’t clash with food smells.
There is a ridiculous amount of food here for six people. We could easily feed twelve or more. I’ve just been informed that 5# of potatoes won’t be enough to go around. I need a drink already, or maybe to finish my coffee.
Taklamaken is on my to-try list when I get down to Scent Bar next month!
And meant to say–hang in there! Hope you can find some time to sneak away and take a breather when you need to.
Eeeek, you and me both. Raw poultry smell sticks to hair. ::::::shudder::::::
Taklamakan – may be SOTE for me. It has to survive a car ride with scent phobes.
Smell of raw poultry, icky. Cheers, dear, you’ll make it through. 🙂
Coffee and then a drink! ????
Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans! Happy Thursday to everyone else! 😀
No fragrance, yet, as I am about to embark on dressing (stuffing for the uninitiated) and roasting a big ol’ bird.
Yesterday was my birthday–39. As I understand it, I stop aging from this point on, yes? 😉 Actually, I’m feeling pretty good about 39. The thirties (thus far) have been a far healthier, more empowering, and positive decade than the twenties were. I’m pretty satisfied with the tragectory of my life these days.
Which brings me back to gratitude–I am grateful for good (enough) health, stable employment, having the wonderful Mr. Spicebomb in my life, and having the time and means to enjoy frivolous and beautiful things. Thank you, all, for being a part of it!
Happy belated birthday!
Happy belated birthday! My 40s are even better than my previous decades, so I hope it’s all uphill for you, too. And thanks for the gratitude list. It’s good to remember all the good stuff.
Belated birthday wishes. You’re still a youngster!
Happy Birthday and many many more!
Happy belated birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, MarjorieRose! You have an abundance of thanksgiving!
Happy birthday for yesterday!
Loved the 30s, tho I had pms the whole time for the first time in my life! Wearing a sample of Cuir de Russie.
Happy Birthday, MR!
Happy Belated Birthday! (Next time around, I shall be 39 for the second year. ????)
happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! I am 52 myself, and I find in many ways I am enjoying each decade more than the one before.
Fantastic! I hope that will be the case for me, too.
Happy Birthday! Enjoy your “late thirties” before you’ll get to enjoy your “early forties” 🙂
As long as you’re healthy, life is good.
“Healthy” is a relative term, in my experience! I am happy settling for healthy enough! 🙂
Happy Birthday. Yesterday was 49 for me, so obviously, I haven’t mastered the going backwards thing myself.
Hope you had a fantastic day
Thank you, all, for the birthday wishes!
Happy Birthday! Did you get the Hyacinth and a Mechanic?
Yes, I did! I wore it the next day, and it got a lot more smoke the second wearing. I’ll have to avoid getting it on fabric, I think, as smoke/greasy mechanic seems to linger more strongly that way. Did you?
No, I don’t really care for hyacinth, but I thought the drydown was gorgeous.
Happy belated birthday! 🙂
Happy birthday! 😀
Happy belated birthday!
Happy belated birthday to both Marjorie Rose and hannahmom!
Happy Birthday and congrats on living a satisfying and happy life.
last paragraph- beautifully put! and hope you had a happy 🙂
Haven’t gotten into the shower yet, so I’m sitting in vintage Bal. I’m going to hop into the shower so I can go to my aunt’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, as much as I don’t want to go. I would rather relax at home. After my shower, I think I will go with either Epic or Beloved today. It’s an Amouage day today.
I went with Amouage today too, Honour Man, figured it would go well with all the festive spices.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone. 🙂
I have been wearing the heck out of Lyric lately. It’s an Amouage kinda season, I’d say! You smell fabulous!
Either way, you’ll smell wonderful!
I’m thinking about Amouage for the Thanksgiving dinner. But I need to get into the shower first 🙂
This conversation inspired me to go with Beloved.
And I went with Ubar 🙂
The hubs is working today so I made a modified TG dinner yesterday which was brined chicken, spinach, a crustless pumpkin pie, and caramel apple pie. Today I’m hitting a movie (Manchester by the Sea) and then a Ukranian diner with some friends= No cleanup!!
I’m wearing SL Une Bois Vanille by default since I opened my decant to sniff, dropped it, and mopped up the pool. Sad for the loss, but love the way I smell! ????
Yum, u smell delicious, and I imagine that one would be a perfect accompaniment for Thanksgiving!
Sounds like fun!
Ooh, I’m curious: do you know what kind of dishes will be at the Ukrainian dinner? It’s part of my heritage, but that side of my family’s never done that for Thanksgiving. We really should.
I had meatballs with beets and horseradish and a friend had the Ukranian meat plate which was grilled Kielbasa, stuffed cabbage, bigos (sauerkraut and smoked meat”stew”)and a couple pierogis. We shared the TG pierogis which were filled with turkey and stuffing and served with cranberry sauce. My other friend had Ukranian borscht with veg stuffed cabbage (kasha, mushrooms, and rice). It’s all very heavy and beige, except for the beets. And I suppose not strictly Ukranian as kielbasa and bigos are Polish, I think or some crossover I suppose. All very tasty, and I throw sourcream on everything.
My husband’s family always had 2 kinds of kielbasa + sauerkraut on Thanksgiving 🙂
Good stuff. Polish family? The garlicky white Kielbasa is good but heartburn city for me.
No, more Irish / English — no idea where the tradition came from.
I’m full, but that sounds great–especially the pierogis. Yes, sour cream goes on everything! There’s a rice-vs-kasha debate for the stuffed cabbage in our family. Alas, I did not inherit the borscht-eating gene.
serendipity…cause you smelled lovely 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving! Watching the Macy’s thanksgiving day parade on TV and drinkink my second cup of coffee. My sotd is SL Feminite du Bois. We will relax for a couple of more hours and then go to my sister’s tor thanksgiving dinner. Sitting on my hands already to avoid any online shopping temptation later on today and tomorrow. Hope to survive…..
I think I make half of my yearly fragrance purchases each year in the weekend after Thanksgiving. Hard to deny a good deal!
The same happens to me. ????
Any suggested online sites that you expect to be heavily discounted?
Discounters like Fragrancenet always run deals. Ormonde Jayne seems to be doing them again, after a few dry years. Looks like I’ve purchased several Malle’s this time of year, but I can’t recall if they were through Barney’s or direct. Decant sites run sales, so if you want a smaller amount, go to Surrender to Chance or Perfumed Court. I also got my best vintage “deal” around this time of year off of ebay–I think folks simply are distracted by other shopping and don’t troll it quite as diligently.
Aaaand, just got the OJ email. 30% off plus free shipping worldwide. Doesn’t get better than that!
I got the OJ email too. I’m debating whether to get a travel set of Ifsarkand. I got Osmanthus for the wife for Christmas and she has got me OJ man.
Will I, won’t I? Do I need anymore? Hmmm
Oops, I caved! ????????????
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it, it’s just a plain old Thursday here in the UK and that picture is making my mouth water!
Enjoying a perfume cheap thrill today, ‘Breath of God’, is sprayed on my scarf. i bought a travel spray for a few pounds on eBay. I don’t wear this often but I should, it’s wonderful in cold blustery weather, and rather weird, in a really intriguing way.
Nuit de Tuberose is on my cuffs from yesterday and is now scenting my wrists.
I really love it, and think it will be my first FB purchase in the new year.
I’m doing my own bit of Thanksgiving at the moment, feeling really thankful to be part of this wonderful and generous community, and aware that my life is greatly enriched because of perfume and NST. Thanks everyone!
I have a solid perfume of BoG, it’s wintery all right.
Likewise a “plain old Thursday” in my neck of the woods in Canada.
Your N de T inspired by cheap thrill choice of the day: Lush’s Lust.
I prefer it’s solid incarnation more so than the eau: the blast of indole is too “funky” to my nose! Thankful I only purchased the min vial.
Happy Thanksgiving, NST! Headed to a feast later this afternoon, so I can’t decide whether or not to wear any scent–may err on the side of caution, since these are newish friends.
Gilt has some AdP and Hermes on sale today, but not much of a discount. Think I’d stick w ebay or some of the other discounters if I were in the market.
Wear something with a low projection – just that it could be smelled only from a hug distance.
Wishing those who are celebrating a happy thanksgiving. No turkey here in the Netherlands, but plenty to give thanks for anyway.
I am wearing the latest essences insensées 2016 (Diptyque). This year is rose, and this is very much a rose soliflore. It sits somewhere between AG Rose Absolue and Diptyque’s Eau Rose, it has a faint spicy note that some roses have naturally, and has a honeyed drydown. It wears long, and worth giving a try if you love rose. Maybe this one would wear better in summer, today I wish it would wear a bit warmer than it does. I will try it a few more times and see if it is FB worthy for me, or maybe the solid will.
That sounds lovely! I’ve never tried one of their solids–do you like them? I don’t have any solid perfumes at all, except for a couple solid samples, because I don’t like ending up with greasy perfume on my fingers and oily streaks of close-to-the-skin scent, but maybe I’m not giving solids an adequate chance.
I like solids sometimes, when travelling, or when I want no or very little sillage in other circumstances, or when I use fragrance when I go to sleep. I have the essences insensées 2014 which was mimosa in solid (the perfume was no longer available and it is very good) and I love it, also in that way. Hope this helps!
It is a really nice rose. I love the bottle but functionally hate the bulb sprayers.
Happy Thanskgiving and/or Thursday-take your pick!
I did a special holiday spin class today for 90 minutes, came home and showered, drowned myself in Amber Flush, and promptly took a nap ????
Now upright again and getting ready to pop my squash and Cornish Hen in le oven. T-Rex is full of beans after napping with me and is ready for the Thanksgiving Walk tonight to see downtown all lit up. Her faborite part is watching the “big dogs” pulling the carriages. She’s entranced by them and watches while doing a dit/stay with her tail wagging at 100 MPH.
Hope everyone has a fantastic day with friends and family. Eat well and stay safe, NSTers!
Sounds yummy! Enjoy the parade!
Naps rule! That sounds like a lovely day–enjoy!
Happy Thanksgiving, American NST, and happy everything to everyone else yesterday was exam board –yawn– and today I’m on a panel deliberating how to deal with cases of cheating. Oh, the fun that can be had in my job! I’m bouncing off into this excellent activity wearing a cheap thrill: Silk Way. I bought it for NZ$23.45, so it qualifies for the project, but better still, it qualifies for wear because I really enjoy it. It doesn’t smell expensive — how could it? — but it is interesting, pleasant, and even slightly complex. IT seems to sit at some cross-road where gourmand, woods, fruits and florals intersect, but instead of starting with one and developing the others, it does them all at once,rather politely and nicely. Then, as it warms on my skin, it stops being demure and turns into a party girl. Not bad at all for $23!
You could always enliven the panel by suggesting, “Off with their heads!” ????
I’d like to do that! It would be quite a deterrent to other people, perhaps…
Happy Thanksgiving, all! Both in AND out of the US. Regardless of the massacre that inspired the holiday, the holiday itself is such a wonderful idea. Je suis reconnaissante de cette communauté des parfumistas avec des coeurs aussi grands que leurs collections des parfums.
Retried Amour Nocturne today, and it smells more magnificent than it ever has before! It must be mixing really well with the scents of Slightly Ripe, Overworked Grad Student and Scotch.
By “grad student” smell, I guess you mean the intermingling notes of coffee and panic : )
That’s the one!
And don’t forget a whiff of Red Bull!
Happy Thanksgiving! It’s just me and the kids today. I’m still recovering from my flu, and for the first time I can remember, I am not cooking anything traditional. My plan is to be well enough for working Black Friday tomorrow. No sotd for me, yet. Also, I am very grateful for love, life, and laughter. A extra thank you to the people here at NST, you all are wonderful.
Keep your strength for where they are needed! Relax and enjoy the day off – with or without traditional food. And wear something that makes you feel good.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your kids!
That is very good advice, thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving:)
That’s a great plan, hope it is a restful day!
feel better and good luck working today…take care of yourself 🙂
I am at my husband’s sister’s house, and wearing Dzongkha to help me feel grounded and thoughtful. My first thought? There are few things on Earth more glorious than a cheese plate. I am thankful for health, family, my amazing husband and all things that bring beauty in any way into the world. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
So agree about the cheese plate!
SotD = Il Profumo Mandarine, a bottle I received in my first NST swap a few years ago. I am thankful for you, NST. Thank you for smelling beautiful.
If you have a quiet 10 or 15 minutes to listen and watch, here are two of my favorite TED talks:
https://www.ted.com/talks/louie_schwartzberg_nature_beauty_gratitude
https://www.ted.com/talks/laura_trice_suggests_we_all_say_thank_you#t-183302
Thanks, I’ve been looking for something good to listen to!
tiffanie- I watched the first one and just had to share with loved ones…beautiful and thank you !
Happy Thanksgiving guys who celebrate!No such thing here in asouth Africa,but Black Friday caught on!I will avoid the malls tomorrow.Sotd The Artist’s Studio from smellbent.Iris,wet paint,paint remover…the smell of concrete after the rain,an Art gallery…So many smells conjured up by this one,I love it.It’s inspiring me to dust the easel off and paint a scene from my garden,while I still live here.x
Everyone’s Thanksgiving meals sounds delicious,too!Enjoy!!
The Artist’s Studio sounds so interesting!
I guess it’s not too surprising that Black Friday caught on without Thanksgiving to precede it. Here, some stores have even begun opening with sales ON Thanksgiving itself. Personally, I applaud the outdoor sporting and camping goods cooperative, REI, which gives its employees a paid holiday on Black Friday so that they can get outdoors. I’ve shown my support by joining and shopping there recently. 🙂
That’s a wonderful incentive from that retailer,I’d support them too!I had to stop at the closest mall to me after work tonight for some quick business,people were already setting up camp infront of the Apple store,amongst others…
If you are inspired, go for it! Black Friday really isn’t like it used to be. Online shopping, and opening on Thanksgiving changed it a lot.
I think I will!Thanks for the encouragement!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the US – all those wondeful food descriptions make my breakfast toast seem a little meagre 🙂
Papillon’s Angélique for me today.
I’m invited to a Thanksgiving dinner with some people I know and others whom I’ve never met. Normally I’d wear SNM Melograno but it’s smelling a bit sharp to me today. So I’m thinking just a touch of L’AP Traversee du Bosphore instead.
I love the plum-rose of BK Liaisons Dangereuses at this time of year, but I think it’s too dressy for this occasion.
Giving thanks today for NST and perfume friends!
How interesting: for me TdB is a scent of my tropical vacations, I never even thought about wearing it in cooler weather. Maybe I should try…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Interesting, I should try it in warm weather sometime, too!
Follow-up: I did wear Traversee du Bosphore and got complements on it.
So the only drawback to TdB is when someone asks you what you’re wearing.
Happy Thanksgiving to all in the US, and a happy Thursday/Friday to all everywhere else across the globe!
My SOTD will be Stella when I eventually drag myself off the sofa, where I’m currently watching the Macy’s parade and football. The powers that be are in charge of the cooking, so there’s not much for me to do right now. I ain’t complainin’!
I’m thankful for Robin and everyone here in the NST community. You make this an exceptionally warm and welcoming place to be!
I did not complain yesterday about producing nothing but the green veg, either 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving from Belize, where they call it “Thursday.”
Have been scentless most of the week, in an effort to avoid drawing bitey-stingy thingies. (There is Zika here.) In Iris Poudre today, because I am skipping the waterfall hike that was to follow a 2-hour drive over potholed gravel roads and staying in the guest house, with AC.
Currently bummed, because my laptop chose this morning to die. Am shopping Black Friday electronics deals online. 🙁
Belize! I wish 🙂
Enjoy Belize (despite those “stingy thingies”), Happy Thanksgiving and best wishes for your Black Friday hunt!
IIRC, Apple discounts (just about) everything 10-15% on Black Friday.
My November Thursday would definitely have been improved by a holiday involving lots of food. SOTD was No 19 EDT (vintage) this morning, now Heure Exquise EDP. Not really cheap thrills, though the Chanel was a good deal on eBay.
You smell gorgeous.
I love both these perfumes. You smell great! Now you need to find and eat something tasty to join our celebration 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving! I am giving thanks for a day off work.
We’re headed to a friend’s house for a big Thanksgiving do, many friends and many family (and I’m thankful it’s *their* family, not *ours*). Our turkey is ready to go — we do deep-fried turkey, and the tradition is that everyone brings their own so everyone has a whole turkey to take home after. It’ll be a turkey-fryin’-assembly-line all afternoon.
I’m most of the way thru making the elaborate flourless chocolate cake I’m bringing. All the bits are done, just need the cake layers to cool, and then the production number of assembly…. it’s worth it in the end, though. Mmmmmm
Gosh, I almost forgot my SOTD: Dior Bois d’Argent. Beautiful but not overwhelming for a big crowd.
I love flourless chocolate cake!
Location: home. Attire: cozy casual. Feast plan: apple-butter broiled pork chops for him, baked tofu for me; olive bread stuffing with cranberries; roasted vegetables, asparagus, pie. Viewing: MST3K marathon. Perfume: Vintage Miss Dior. Happy Thanksgiving, all!
That all sounds really good. Happy Thanksgiving.
You too!
Another MST3K fan! Your day sounds delightful.
I’ve been humming “Clowns in the Sky” all afternoon 🙂
MST3K!!!
How do you prepare your baked tofu?
Ooh, I march right into the grocery store and buy the lovely stuff!! I’ve never managed to DIY bake it to the right texture and density…
The guys from MST3K came to my school (Macalester College) when I was a student and did a live show. It was pretty cool. My lasting impression was that the guy who voiced Tom Servo seemed like a nice, funny guy who should play Schwarzenegger’s sidekick in some action movie. 🙂
Agreed RE: Tom Servo/Kevin Murphy. Plus, I hear he has perfect pitch. Scientifically proven at Gizmonics Institute!
All around awesome????
Yes it was! (picks self off of sofa, post-feast)
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m wearing Chanel No. 5 L’eau today.
I’ll be leaving for my sister’s house in a little while, where the rest of the family will be. She doesn’t like perfume at all, so L’eau should do nicely today. I won’t have to hear how I set her allergies off lol.
You smell lovely!
A rainy day here. I was feeling floral this am and spritzed mimosa and cardamon by jo malone. Very soft and light.
Happy thanksgiving to those in U.S
Even though I associate mimosa with spring and wear other mimosa-centric perfumes only during spring and summer time, Mimosa Cardamom feels warm and cozy to wear in Fall as well.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.
I am wearing Balmain Ambre Gris, another cheap thrill that I enjoy a lot. Staying at home today doing some boring house chores.
Happy Thanksgiving! We enjoyed a fantastic buffet today, now taking naps all around (kids AND adults). Staging our house to put it on the market, so most of my perfumes are packed away. I only left out Shalimar Parfum Initial and Nest Midnight Fleur to keep me going for a while. In PI today. Can’t get enough iris lately.
Naps all around sounds good.
Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends!
I am a big ball of stress as my dear sweet kitty is at the vet having a procedure. The house is so empty without her, but she should be coming home today.
Comforting myself in a big cloud of Shangri La.
I hope your kitty is doing fine. Sending warm thoughts your way.
Oh no! thinking of you, and shangri-la-ing in solidarity.
Hugs to you and your kitty. Mine is asleep beside me.
Sending healing wishes for your beloved kitty.
Hope your kitty has a good outcome!
Hope your kitty is well and home soon!
Went with a very light spritz of Aromatics Elixir today to go with the beautiful weather. Good luck with our families today! 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who celebrates!
It’s finally cooler here, so this holidays feels like Amouage… I just can’t figure out yet, with which I should go. The contenders are: Ubar, Lyric, Memoir, Gold and Dia. Decisions, decisions… 🙂
For me, it is almost always Dia 🙂
I went with Ubar but it was a tough competition! 🙂
Wonderful choices, I think maybe the eiderdown one is in order 😉 given the cooler weather?
🙂 Ubar it was. It felt great!
Do the ultimate – one spritz per perfume 🙂
ACK!
I’m not that adventurous 🙂 I ended up wearing Ubar. It went great with a cashmere sweater dress.
In transit to a Thanksgiving feasr with family and friends. My contribution is store-bought pumpkin pie and an assortment of cookies. 30+ usually show up.
I’m saving the confession for when I’m on my laptop…blame it on fat fingers.
Among other things, I I am thankful for this community and for the online and real life friendships coming out of it.
I used B&BW Warm Vanilla Sugar shampoo and conditioner. After my shower, I topped off with a generous drop of Solstice Scents Pumpkin Spice Latte Perfume Oil. So far no complaints from anyone inside the close quarters of the car and if they do, I can alwAys say maybe it’s the Pumpkin Spice Latte I had today 🙂
Excellent stealth perfume application. 🙂
:))) You’re so sneaky!
I hope the entire dinner went without complaints.
It’s raining buckets here so I’m staying inside where it’s snug and warm. I’m not a huge turkey fan so I’m having king crab (but the traditional mashed potatoes and green bean/mushroom soup side dish). I have been waiting for Black Friday sales because each year I give to the local toy drives for underprivileged kids. Kindle Fires were only $33 so I bought three to donate and I’m still looking for some things for younger kids. Happy Thanksgiving if you celebrate, and I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday if you don’t.
Oh, and I’m wearing Fleur de Chine!
As much as I love crab, I wouldn’t give up my once-a-year turkey slice for it.
Fleur de Chine is one of my recent favorites.
King crab sounds like a wonderful turkey alternative.
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is having, or had, a good day.
My SOTD was Byredo Super Cedar. I have a sample and the review post picked my curiosity. I now know what Iso E Super smells like, that I don’t dislike it, and that I can buy buckets of it at the price of the Byredo 😀
I love it too.
We had a thanksgiving supper at my DH’s sister’s house last Saturday so I am off scot free today. 🙂 Went for a great bike ride – got hit by a stray golf ball while riding past the course but fortunately it only hit the bike causing minor damage and not me.
Started the day in Dzongkha, but have now switched to Rose Delight body oil layered with Incense Rosé.
Thanksgiving dinner was a late one, just me and Mr. Jalapeno. We had smoked brisket, roasted baby potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, broccoli casserole, and onion/sage/giblet stuffing. No turkey this year.
SOTD = a spritz of Mahora from a small decant. Comparing it to my sample of Mayotte.
Oh, that sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving dinner — I’d much rather have brisket than turkey.
Thanksgiving Dinner a great success, good food, family in good health and good spirits, house is cleaner than it has been in six months. 🙂 Adorable hubby took favorable notice of SOTD = Dame Mandarin, Neroli and Cedar. Now watching old episodes of Sherlock, always a treat. A delightful long weekend stretches before me. I am grateful for the simple things…
ah you smelled lovely 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! It was a long but very nice day shared with family and friends. My SOTD was a few sprites of Voyage which was perfect for today’s festivities. I am grateful for this community of wonderful people and so many other things.
I have just spent last 4 hours arguing with a god friend. We started with disagreement about the champagne he brought (he was as expecting a touch of sweetness as was promised to him by salesperson, I thought it was great and extra dry as it should be), followed by directing n our previous employer was taking (me – thumbs down as I am no less never there, he is still there agreeing with the pivot), followed by Other things). Him and my mother are still at it, I am hiding in the kitchen pretending to check on desert. Kids and hubs are hiding upstairs. Need more wine. OMG and they just sent my sister n in the kitchen looking for me!!! Need more WINE
SOTD of s Like This. Really like it
OMG, that sounds so stressful! Hope you’re ok!
Wine helps 🙂
Sounds like Thanksgiving! Wine is good.
Hi NSTers!
Today I am thankful that my intense period at work is OVER, and I can come back and actually read NST. I’ve missed you all! Hope everyone is having a good day.
Yesterday was Sycomore, and it was perfect for Thanksgiving cooking and prep. I am traveling to family, and forgot to bring any perfume samples. So am scented with Eau Perfume au The Blanc moisturizer.
Hope it was a good one!
Really late…we are visiting family. I’m thankful that we’re all in good health and spirits, everyone getting along. Dinner was great, though incredibly short compared to prep, as always. SOTD was Cristalle. Happy Thanksgiving weekend, all!
Oh, Happy Belated Birthday, Marjorie Rose. ????
a day late but here nonetheless…had a nice relaxing Thanksgiving …wore Eden Botanicals Dark Patchouli diluted in sweet almond oil all over my body ….
