It's Wednesday and Big Mama Thornton's birthday. (And, we have our first dusting of snow.) What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm wearing a little dab of Thierry Mugler Angel Muse (with a hat tip to Eschmeling for the idea).
Reminder: on 12/13, we're doing Scents of the Season, part 2...wear something that smells like baked goods, or has a baked goods accord, or just reminds you of holiday baking. Suggested by thegoddessrena.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2019, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

In Armani Prive Iris Céladon. It is like being wrapped in a soft, warm, fluffy blanket. So beautiful! Love it! THANKS, Lillyjo! ❤
Sounds lovely ?
It is!!!
Beautiful! I wore iris celadon last night!
Isn’t it beautiful? You smelled fantastic last night!
Beautiful perfume and beautiful wearer!
Thank you, Lillyjo! ??
Lovely! Iris Celadon is beautiful!
I am enjoying it greatly!
If I remember correctly, that had one of the prettiest bottles in the Armani Prive series.
Agree! The bottle is gorgeous!
Vintage Shalimar EDC….day 3
ooooh, yum! you smell fantastic. 😀
Thank you ???
Be careful that you don’t accidentally thunk it!?
I am on a mission NOT to ?
Galop d’Hermes and drinking a cup of green tea.
Thank you for all the well wishes for my dog last week. He is recovering nicely from his surgery. His name is Barqs. This is where my NST name comes from 🙂
Yay, good news, Barqs and Barqs!
I missed that last week, but so happy to hear the pupster is recovering well?
yay! extra treats and ear scratches for everyone. 😀
So glad – hope the healing continues well! ??
So glad!
That is good news for you and furry baby. Love his name.
I didn’t hear the news, but glad he’s doing better. Give him a snuggle and a snout kiss for me! ❤️?
A good dog name, hope he recovers fully
Wonderful news, what a relief for you.
Yay Barqs!
Great news! So glad!
Thanks again 🙂
Great news about your NST namesake!
Today is a honey day, I’m in Demeter Beeswax. I have both Honey and Beeswax from Demeter, but Beeswax smells the most like real, raw honey. One of my favorites, probably because it is less sweet than you might expect.
Oh, then I need that one!
Noir Exquise for me today. We had a light dusting of snow this morning but nothing to keep me from getting into work (more’s the pity…). Oh well, we can be happy for Hump Day, right?
I thought of that one this morning! Perfect for the CP.
I’ve never had babka, but it sure looks good.
THUNK! Bye bye Winter Palace, it was nice meeting you. Thanks to Hajusuuri for hosting the split. It’s a love never to be consummated, sadly. But, I’ll remember him very fondly indeed.
Currently whipping up some coffee and a bagel for breakfast, then off to Sedona for the day. Researching some trails now. Probably go with the 5.7 mile Devils Bridge. Listed as moderate, it will probably leave me cursing my stupidity for trusting All Trails rating system. ?
Happy Hump Day to all✌?
Love Sedona – so many wonderful trails and incredibly beautiful views around every corner. Enjoy!
wish I were there! enjoy your hike. 😀
Thank you, we did!
I’ll look forward to seeing your pictures! What’s the weather like there?
Very cool at night, woke up to frost this morning, but it’s been bright and sunny during the day in the 60’s. Perfect weather, IMHO??
Your words over the past several posts have painted such a lovely picture of Arizona. And then I was thinking about the Arizona perfume, and I have a bottle on its’ way! So I will be in Arizona in scent! Have a fantastic time! ⛰
Nice! I bet you smell fabulous!
Was just in Sedona in October–an amazing place. You will love those red rocks. Good luck on the hike.
Thank you. We avoided injury??
I haven’t had babka either, so you are not alone!
We should put this on our 2020 list of “Thing To Do” ?
Do put it on your list! A slice of chocolate babka with a latte, that is a good thing.
I have actually only had the Jewish American version, which is usually twisted with chocolate or cinnamon. The original Russian / Polish babka was more of a plain yeast cake.
Can’t stop wearing my Inoui sample – just a dabber swiped across each wrist and I’m in heaven. I think I’ll wear DSHPerfumes Cimabue for Friday.
I should see if I can find any Cimabue! I might be all out.
No 19 Poudre and a few drops on No 19 parfum
The parfum is a small bottle from the 90’s, when Chanel use to do those fragrance mini bottles as a set.
Cappuccino this morning
Robin we also have a dusting of snow today too…
i love teeny tiny bottles.
you smell lovely. 😀
Yay, that snow was so nice to wake up to! Not least because it was all gone in short order 😉
SotD = No. 5 Edp
I was wavering on what scent to wear today, but then I thought I would let the last comment here be my guide. Thanks to ltsg for the Chanel inpiration. Have a wonderful Wednesday, perfumed peeps! 😀
Hey house twin, I have that one in a teeny tiny bottle as well! Maybe for mañana
Bruno Acampora Prima T. I have been more and more in the mood for Beautiful Florals lately. I was looking for ideas in the CPs and do you know, we’ve done BWFs but never just pretty florals – too broad a category?
Doesn’t that one remind you very much of Joy, at lest Joy edt?
It reminds me more of VC&E First! Both lovely things to be reminded of.
I like the idea of a pretty floral CP!
We’ve got a brilliant clear cool day today–just 46! I love it! Makes it feel more Christmasy to have it cooler. I’m going to a special art installation event later this morning and looking forward to seeing some old friends there. My kitty Fizzy did very well in his dental surgery yesterday. He didn’t want to eat last night but ate a nice breakfast this morning and is acting less doped up. My SOTD is SL Rousse: cinnamon, orange, cloves–definitely like the holiday smell of a nice pomander, if not quite something to eat (but it might be)!
Best healing wishes for your furry friend.
Glad it’s feeling more like Christmas for you! Fizzy is the cutest name!
What did the surgery entail? Glad he’s eating ?
He had stomatitis, and had all of his molars removed. His teeth were rotten and receding, breath bad, etc. He has lost two pounds in the last year. They were able to keep his four canines, so now he has fangs! This morning he ate very well, but his mouth is swollen and he looks dopey still.
Oh poor baby!!!
Glad that he is able to eat ?
Ouch! Hopefully he’ll be feeling better once he’s healed up.
I’m glad Fizzy is feeling better! Yes, it’s brisk out there today. The Mags and I took a walk early this morning and we were scooting pretty fast.
Wishing speedy recovery to Fizzy!
Good to hear that Fizzy kitty came thru surgery and is feeling a little better today.
Enjoying some snow with my coffee–just a dusting from last night, but it looks pretty out there. Off to lunch soon to celebrate birthdays with a dear friend. What to wear? Clothes, no problem….scent,???
a warm and sweet perfume..that is close to the skin so you don’t offend anyone at the party…
Good morning!
In Coromandel today and drinking some Genmaicha tea to keep warm at work. Would love some babka with my tea.
Wishing all of you a great week!
You smell fantastic!
Thank you Lillyjo!
❤️ Coromandel ❤️
Did you get your FB of Bengale Rouge?
Ha! Why, yes I did. Blind buy and all that.
Took advantage of the Luckyscent 15% off coupon after Thanksgiving.
And… unfortunately it is not my cup of tea. I think it is very well made but not for me.
So, I was planning to offer it up for a split. Now, if ok with Robin, or at the next splitmeet.
If I may be so bold, I would be first in line for a decant of Bengale Rouge, if a split is approved. ?
Ooh. I’d be interested in a split….
Ooooooooh, good stuff, Coromandel!
I will return in a bit with my sotd, but first I have to do this
https://youtu.be/i78azsi7M94
?
???
you win! hysterical
Haha! I loved that one ?
Haha!
lillyjo for the win❣️
Thanks for the laugh!
That’s awesome! Thanks for the laugh!?
I just happened to catch the episode where George has the shelf for his alarm clock and spot to sleep built underneath his desk. Such a classic show!
I heard this on the radio today and thought of you, so I figure I’d send you the link:
https://youtu.be/5GA5Mf-BCvk ?⛄
Ha! Love it!⛄??
Ha! That episode was the first thing I thought of when I read the photo caption! Ahh… I remember Thursday night TV back in the day. Seinfeld, Frasier, Mad About You… great shows!
Loved Frasier!
Veneer! ? ?
HA, I forgot that episode! Carrot cake, why is that a cake?
I’m in TF Noir de Noir today, from a sample. Lots of vanilla and amber to my nose. Very nice, but I can’t help thinking that Geisha Noire is better.
Two medical appointments for the hubster today, a follow up with the orthopedist and another doctor to address the issues stemming from the hip replacement. It’s been three weeks today. I think we’re both weary of all the running around. But we are slowly getting answers, which is good.
Best of luck with the appointments today!
Thanks, lillyjo! We will need it.
I think I missed it- did he have complications? I’m hoping it’s all uphill for you both!
Yeah, he has some, shall we say, plumbing issues and an ongoing infection we’re fighting. ?
Oof, so sorry. Not a fun combo.
Hope you will be done with all the appointments soon and that he’ll improve fast!
Aargh! So sorry!!! Hoping for a resolution soon!
Oy! Best wishes for a speedy resolution!
Hope it will be good news on all fronts.
Oh, that’s a shame about your husband’s hip. Fingers crossed that you both got good news today.
Healing wishes for your DH!
After 4 days off in a row, I am on my way to work. My mom is waiting for a phone call on what time her surgery is and when she has to be there tomorrow. Wearing no 19 edt today.
Best wishes to your mom!
Good luck with your mom’s surgery!
I hate that they don’t tell you til the day before! Hope her surgery goes well.
One day I will motivate to make a babka. But I’m afraid that it’ll be no match for my favorite bakery and packaged ones.
SOTD is AdP Iris Nobile edt
It does look pretty hard to make.
Any time I see a recipe with yeasted dough, I shut down, lol.
Can you substitute with pre-made dough?
I’m sure you could, though the only pre-made yeasted dough I can think of seeing is frozen pizza dough, which would be all sorts of wrong.
Buy some frozen Bridgford bread dough, my mom uses it to make cinnamon rolls. 🙂
I predict I will never make a babka, or any other sort of dough that Paul Hollywood would say did not achieve proper lamination 😉
Ok I’m back. Sotd is Vanille Fatale. My first real wearing. So far so good!
So, I might be getting a perfume later at a very good price, but because it’s not in my hands yet, I can’t say it’s name. Lol, I’m hoping I get it and that it’s the real deal. Fingers crossed!
Good luck!
???? Looking forward to hearing what it is!
All best wishes that you get it.
Waiting anxiously to hear about your new perfume!
Should have gone with Angel Muse – then we could have been twins, Robin! Instead, I went with Hdp 1899 – which kind of works, maybe? I get an apple cider note. I like this one and must explore more of the line soon! If by chance anyone is looking for the Moulin Rouge scent, let me know – maybe we can swap since that one does not work for me at all. 🙂
1899 is pretty yummy. I went through a couple of samples a while back.
Well, we are almost twins!
SOTD was Bois de Vanille, now i wear a bit of Meharees for some cuddly feeling. Its pouring rain outside…and cold too.
That’s the day we had yesterday, sorry to pass it on to you.
Hello-lello! No perfume yet. My stomach is a little dodgy from the massive doses of antibiotics I’ve been on. Last night I spritzed myself with Acqua E Zucchero before I went to bed, which felt like a charming sugar dusted pastry pillow all around me as I drifted off… but when I woke up a few hours later it was like being trapped inside a cannoli.
I have a first draft of something difficult to tackle today–trying to get myself in the zone. Ambient scents are a lit Paddywax’s John Steinbeck candle and a turkey and root stock I am making, wafting from the kitchen.
I think you should have a sick day
It is tempting to call work and tell them I’m trapped inside a cannoli . . .
Omg, yes please!! ??
Do it!?
Go ahead! ?
?
Excellent.
No baking credits for me as I thought the photo was a cross-section image of deer antlers, as used on knife handles. I did wonder why there was a photo of deer antlers but maybe it is national deer antler day which wouldn’t be the weirdest thing. But now I am just hungry and wondering why I have never eaten babka, or why I don’t eat it every day for the rest of my life. Wearing Twilly layered with Marrakech Intense while I plan the day.
Thanks for the laugh!! I’m sure there’s a National Deer Antler Day somewhere…
If I could eat babla every day, I would. You can get a rough facsimile from a pain au chocolat, I suppose.
There’s probably a deer antler day or month here in the mid west.
Sadly, it really would NOT be the weirdest thing!
Now that you said the photo looked like deer antlers to you, that’s what I’m seeing, too.
As for Robin’s comment that a Deer Antler day would not be the weirdest thing, I don’t want to know what would be weirder than that. I’m good with things like cookie day. 🙂
That’s what I saw too, deer antlers.
We started off the day overcast and gray. We had a minor snow storm, just a few inches. I put on Beige earlier because it feels like liquid sunshine. Now the sun is out so maybe it was my good luck charm. ?
Got to go find my sample of Beige ?
I hope it brings the sun to you. We have more weather coming on Friday and Saturday. It’s just relentless.
I ended up seeing the sun for part of this afternoon, too. So your perfume had a very wide area of effect!
Delish!
SOTD = Guerlain Iris Ganache
Iris gourmand done right!

We got more than a dusting of snow and because I did not want to deal with slipping and sliding, I decided to work from home today. Thank goodness for flexibility!
Yesterday’s shooting incident in Jersey City was so unbelievably crazy. 30,000 students on lockdown. All the deaths (although not sorry for the perpetuators) from the police officer to innocent bystanders – ugh. We didn’t have company assets anywhere near the locations where this transpired but there were many worried parents.
Last week my daughter’s school was on lock down because a student made a threat and they found a gun in his locker. Parents were not notified until the all clear was given. I can’t even imagine.. I’m so thankful for the student who reported the threat before it could be carried out.
It is scary out there these days. I never had to worry about such things when I was in school.
I know, right?
Wow. Thank goodness for that student reporting what was heard / observed. Just curious, what is the school’s communication regarding incidents similar to this, whether it be a lockdown or God-forbid an active shooter incident?
The policy is to notify parents after a lockdown and the police investigation is over. In this case, they took the student into custody and he is immediately expelled from the district. They don’t want parents coming down and trying to take the kids while in lockdown. We are notified by robot email and calls. I believe the set up is the same for active shooter.
Wow, how terrifying! Glad he was caught!
I saw a blurb about that incident on the news this morning but didn’t catch all the details. It is very sad.
You do smell wonderful today! I have a little decant and may wear it it tomorrow if I can find it. I have it in a safe place….wherever that is?
I’m so grateful to have had the chance to try IG. I was very curious about it.
Very sad indeed. IG smells really unique and very well done. I am quite possibly going to give away the Ormond Jayne Vanille Iris as it never really lived up to my expectations. It’s not plush.
I saw that story unfolding yesterday afternoon.
I should say, on the news. Thankfully, I wasn’t anywhere near that. Still sucks.
Yeah, I watched that news and caught some of the details this morning. Sounds like a hate crime, though NJ police won’t call it that until they do an investigation. Sad times
Scary days nowadays. The Forward did call it a hate crime. (Yes, I read all kinds of things.)
And it must be frightening for parents to send their kids to school nowadays, much more so than back when.
I think it’s near universal that parents want their children to be safe, and I know that I hope for times that are more peaceful. I’ll go with the holiday card sentiment of wishing for joy and peace.
In Krazy Krizia, peachy, aromatic and ambery, but not edible.
Aurora, I saw your response about Le Parfum, and it made me happy because I thought I was the only one who thought it was wonderful! I don’t wear it alot, but am always glad when I do.
Wonderful that you love it too. It’s such a good modern chypre, and fall and winter are perfect seasons for it.
This is our fourth sunny day in a row, after a horrible stormy weekend. I’ve decided on Guerlain’s Chant d’Arômes.
Oh, I am officially jealous! Please share some sunshine 🙂
Cuir Ottoman for this chilly Wednesday.
Oooh, you smell fantastic!
You smell wonderful! I hope work wasn’t too overwhelming today!
Friday is coming! Hang in there.
Wearing Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay.
It reminds me of Christmas, somehow.
Red and green?
Anyway, I am enjoying the fruit and the leaf.
Happy Holidays!
It’s the bay that probably reminds you of Christmas. Hajuusuri kindly gifted me a bottle of it and I love it. But no surprise that after my eldest came to visit my bottle disappeared lol ?. We are constantly borrowing perfumes Chez Marzipan.
Oy! Do you still have custody of Vintage Gardenia?
Yeah cause I hid it ???
She’ll bring back the bottle after the holidays and then I can wear it. Meanwhile the middle one accidentally forgot her Vanille Abricot so I have been borrowing that when the mood hits me lol ?
Getting ready for a Christmas party at work that we have tomorrow. I don’t think it’s gonna be superb but ok, let’s see.
Today I’m wearing Prada Amber Pour Homme because I had a formal meeting today to summarize my department and our work in 2019.
For tomorrow I plan on Guerlain LUI.
You will smell fab for the party tomorrow. I have one too tomorrow and 3 more next week – very unusual as I normally only have 2 but I won’t look a gift horse in the mouth ?
Working on emptying my decant of Bois d’Argent. Interesting how works as an elegant office scent, but is more than happy to go out for the evening as well. I will miss it, but won’t be buying a fb.
I’m in Hiram Green Dilettante and loving the incongruity of the bombastic white florals with the gross grey gloom of Seattle today.
My partner hated this one instantly also— I think they might actually be having a reaction to something because they’ve really liked me in Yes I Do and some other white florals in recent memory, so further investigation is required. I like it when my partner doesn’t hate my fragrances, but I also don’t want to give up florals entirely!
My husband dislikes the majority of my perfume. If he doesn’t complain, I consider it a win! I’ve learned to wear what I like regardless but I am more careful of the dose when we are together.
I usually don’t get any comments on my fragrance from my husband. My female friends are more likely to notice what I am wearing in that regard.
Any hot yoga fans out there? My niece wants to go to a class (supposedly an hour):. I’ve done yoga off and on for years, but am not that great if I do say so. I usually do it in the comfort of my own home so no one is judging.
The enthusiasm for hot classes eludes me entirely (and I like all other manner of practices). Good luck if you accompany your niece, and let us know what you thought!
Thank you! That’s what I was wondering. I like yoga, but don’t practice as much as I should so adding the heat may be too much.
I’ve heard that hot yoga is difficult. However, I have no experience at all in doing yoga, so take this comment with a grain of salt.
Thanks Jalapeno. It does help, believe me.
I got stressed out doing yoga, seriously. Also, aren’t people suppposed to not judge in a yoga class since it is supposed to be more Zen-like?
Oh no, sorry it stresses you out!
Myself, I still have not so good balance so I get frustrated; shouldn’t I be better at this by now?
Just watched the documentary ‘Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator’ on Netflix. Really an interesting film about a very unlikable man.
I saw that also. Crazy stuff.
Thanks, I will watch it! I just read a few things about Bikram yoga, so I think I know where the story is going.
Be sure you are ok with extremes in temperature. I love yoga and I love saunas, but hot yoga just makes me dizzy. Might be because I already have low blood pressure.
Thanks Robin! Really. I got extremely overheated one summer at a golf tournament and almost passed out. I think I will pass.
Good call – I get nauseated and faint when I get overheated so I would never do hot yoga. I also have low blood pressure.
Yeah, then I think it’s best not. I can sit and sweat in a sauna, but moving my head about — especially forward folds — just doesn’t work for me in high temperatures.
Still having fun with Demeter samples. I must have like two dozen of them. lol. Scent of the moment, because I don’t think it’s going to last super-long, is Creme Brulee. Very sweet, a little bit of the “right kind” of burned scent. Quickly turning waxy, and then I expect it will fade away pretty fast.
So how long did your SOTD last?
I washed my wrists off before dinner, but at that point, I was still getting some of the fragrance a couple hours after I put it on. I’ll probably put on a vanilla or chocolate scent tonight.
I’ve been congested on and off for some weeks, so sometimes it’s hard to tell how much a fragrance is lingering on me. I made an appointment with the ear, nose and throat doctor for tomorrow to see if I “officially” have sinusitis, or just feel like I do. I’m usually pretty accurate about that, though, from experience. I don’t push myself too much when I don’t feel well, but try to rest when I need rest. I expect that antibiotics will clear my sinuses up quickly. I’m looking forward to feeling better.
I noticed I didn’t get questions about the “right kind” of burned smell. 🙂 I figure folks would easily be able to figure that I was contrasting it with the “wrong kind” of burned smell, and have their own ideas about the “wrong kind.”
Follow-up: Oddly, I didn’t have sinusitis. The ENT doctor said I was dehydrated from allergy medicine and told me to stop taking that. We’ll see what happens with that…
Not even a dusting of snow for me this morning, just odd patches of it. I noticed some on the grill cover, and splotches of snow on the roof. Good news on the water heater front: the part needed arrived this morning, and installation is scheduled for tomorrow!
SOTD = Kenzo Jungle l’Elephant. Lots of cardamom and vanilla in this today, and both of those scents do remind me of holiday baking/goodies. ??
That hot shower will feel sooo good!
Yes it will! Now all I need is more Rose Jam shower gel…
Yay for hot water and you smell great!
Thank you! The Elephant has been pretty good company for me today.
Woohoo, just one more day! My car was covered with at least one inch, if not more. It all melted away mid-day and I hope precipitation stays away!
Yep! I am debating if I want to take one last shower before the repair guys get here. Do I feel up to that challenge?
So glad your part came!
That’s great! Enjoy your hot shower and maybe treat yourself to that Rose Jam as a reward for enduring all the cold ones.
My resolve was a scentless five days to reset my nose. The Universe has other ideas. Went over to help a friend’s mother in a retirement condo. The 3 floor trip seemed to take hours. Flanked on the left with yoot dew. Someone stopped us on floor 2, and enfiladed me from the right with more yoot dew! By the time we reached floor three, I was defeated and sent packing like R. E. Lee after Picketts charge. Once I got to the unit, I was tasked with digging out old Christmas stuff from the seventies which was strongly scented with some perfume pre 1985. As I was leaving, I noticed a sale of vintage jewelry including Taxco silver. Was really tempted as that silver can be .999, but resisted the urge. Caught a whiff of #5, and what may have been Lady Stetson.
I was feeling a bit festive when I left and strangely enjoyed the Chernobyl level assault of the coordinated yoot dew. Went across the street for pizza and met my maker. Too blonde, too many extensions, too much Botox, too much Bebe or whatever the kids wear today. Topped off with too much Coca Mademoiselle. Rotting roses mixed with sunny delight and some extry sweet, dank patchouli.
Weirdly enough, the little old ladies in their yoot dew and walkers came across younger and fresher.
This had me in stitches!
You are hilarious. I’d like to read a whole series of these Scent Noir episodes!
I have a bunch of them. One involves two elderly sisters on a quest to buy a case of booze, going on two wheels taking a sharp curve, and enough Tabu to choke a whale.
Great story! More please! I’d have had a hard time passing up the Taxco silver… I have a reproduction of a William Spratling Dragonfly silver and rosewood pin. How I love the .925!
The cool thing about pre ‘80’s Taxco is that it isn’t 92.5. Silver is plentiful there, and purer silver is easier to work than sterling. They had to mark it, so they used 92.5, but it’s more like 96.0. Navajo silver is usually higher grade than sterling as well.
No way I would have the ability to bypass the Taxco silver display.
Back again! Scent of the evening is TF Violet Blonde. I was able to get this today for perfume math free! If I don’t include my gas money, lol.
Last night I saw this posted on letgo. I couldn’t believe it, because usually all that is listed is body sprays or celebrity perfumes. Although, I did score my Dior Coffret from there..
Anyway, it was a little ways to go get it, so I made my H go and get it. I had verified as much authenticity as I could ahead of time, but still was nervous it would be fake. H says ” don’t worry, I will spray it, and if it stinks, I will know it’s real” lol.
It’s perfect. I’m very excited!
So happy you scored such a great perfume! Enjoy your new bottle! ?
I will for sure!
Oh, so you did get your perfume unicorn! Cool!
Now to find Sahara Noir!
Ugh! The only think I’d quell my dislike for Tom Fords persona to buy, and they discontinued it. It was a good one.
Glad it was a success! “If it stinks, I’ll know it’s real” ?
?
Thanks, me too.
That was funny. 🙂 Glad you found a fragrance you’d been wanting, at a reasonable price. And that the Mr. knew how he’d know it was real. 🙂
Good score lillyjo! ?
Thanks!
Congrats on your Violet Blonde score!
Thanks! I never find deals, so it’s very exciting
I’m in DSH Become the Shaman today, part of my internal adjustment to Santa Fe. We move in 3 weeks! It took 5 days to land a rental, and now I’m back home looking at all my possessions with suspicion. Moving always makes me temporarily ascetic.
I need to move for just that reason! Good luck with yours…
