Hump Day! What fragrance are you wearing?
Me: taking points in Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess.
Reminder: 7/10 is Piña Colada Day. Wear a perfume with pineapple, coconut, rum, or any combination of the three.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2020, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

In wearing Smell Bent Ice Station Pineapple.
I’m —
I will be in pineapple tomorrow
Smelling beachy in Berdoues Azur Riviera. Very appropriate for a day working outside with high temps and humidity.
Happy Wednesday!
I tried to go for a morning walk/jog this morning and I couldn’t. I felt like I couldn’t breath with the humidity
It is almost impossible to breath, especially wearing a mask all the time, like in my case.
When I walked the mile home yesterday in the late afternoon, I was a swampy, sweaty mess. Looking at the dew point today, it seems just as awful.
Hang in there PL67! You’re stronger than the muggies!
Thank you! I survived the day! ?? Relaxing comfortably at home now!
Shalimar Light
Sporting a black and white polka dot scarf with lemons to match my SOTD
Tea is Jasmine Green Tea from Twinnings
Has anyone smelled the Shalimar Souffle Orange flanker?
Good morning L2SM!
I love polka dots! I have a few scarves with various patterns, mostly dots.
I haven’t smelled it but am thinking of ordering a decant.
I love scarves also!….besides this one I just bought a floral one, that looks like it could be from the 60’s. I am thinking of of wrapping it around my hair. Maybe I need bell bottoms to match.
Bell bottoms would be adorable!
My two favorite scarves are a repurposed sari converted to a scarf, in bright orange with gold and lime green accents. The other is an old silk scarf from the Gap, with poppy-red daisy pattern. I don’t feel I ever tie it correctly but the attempt is what matters.
Do let me know if you smell the Souffle flanker
Your scarf sounds fun, and you should definitely use some scarves as head wraps, or as we did in my day, put a square scarf folded into a triangle on your head and tie it in back of your neck. Use one as a belt, tie it on a handbag, add a vintage brooch! Seriously, I’ve sold 8 scarves on Poshmark in the last week (and bought 3, hmm.)
I didn’t know there’s an orange version of Shalimar!
Hmm..I need to watch some head scarf YouTube videos
LTSG
I live scarves too and so does my 67 year old neck. I have a lovely little orange box of cards from Hermès each with a picture of ways to fold a scarf that was given to me with a scarf purchase. I’m happy to pop in the mail to you. You can email me at Vivienne.elliott1 in the land of outlook.
Hi all, my SOTD is Bronze Goddess Summer (2011 edition). Something light and easy to wear for today’s warm weather.
About to head out for a walk while it’s still relatively cool out.
We are almost twins, except I’m really in the body cream.
Wish it would cool off a wee bit here…or at least wish the humidity would blow away.
Thinking of that for Friday. Good scent.
I’m in Aqua Celestia for lime points. And because it’s pretty and fresh.
Pretty and fresh gets points anyway!
Thanks, everyone, for your kind and encouraging words about my recovery (Monday SOTD). I had an encouraging follow-up visit yesterday with my surgeon, which has helped my mood enormously.
Have followed PriscillaE’s lead from Monday and am smelling very good indeed in Histoires de Parfums 1804. My husband said, “oh, that smells good” as soon as I sprayed it. Let’s see how it develops on me…enjoying it so far!
Hot and humid here, too. I went for my required daily walk at 8 a.m. and almost gave up on it. Will have to go out by 7 tomorrow morning if I’m going to manage at all.
I missed that you had surgery, but I am glad you are recovering well!
This week I’ve had to give up on morning walks and switch to 6:30 or 7 pm to avoid the sun/inferno. The downside is I have to greatly increase the application of mosquito repellent.
I miss your post about your surgery. Hope you have a very speedy recovery.
Hi all!
No points for me in Fig My Love by The Zoo, but it is milky and fruity. I bet fresh fig pina coladas would be perfection! This really is the best fig I’ve ever smelled.
Stay safe, everyone!
Mmm, that sounds delish! I haven’t heard of it, but milky fig scents are great!
It’s really good!
Wow, that’s quite a claim. I must try that one! Milky fogs can smell somewhat coconutty, if that’s a word.
I haven’t tried every fig of course but Laudamiel says he uses an aromachemical that is usually deemed too pricy but makes the fig accord strong and very long lasting. And it really does smell like fig for hours.
Well, you have me very curious1
But, does it smell like fig tree or fruity figs?
I prefer my fig scents to be more about the tree and leaves. I find those calming and restful.
Hmmm I’m not sure I can answer that. I would say mostly the fruit. It isn’t obviously woody, though it is brilliantly green.
Figs + rum? That’s a flavor combo I haven’t tried! Maybe I ought to?
Report back!!
I admire everyone that walks despite the humidity. One of the reasons I love California. We just have fog right now, but has been hot past few days.
I used to wait until close to midnight to go out and walk on our compound in Saudi due to extreme heat and humidity in Jeddah.
Something light yet comforting today for work ay my home office.
Maybe a spritz of Ta’if
My workshop on zoom went really well! And everyone loved the gray hair!
Congratulations!
thank you Calypso – two more sessions to go.
I miss the foggy days when I lived in SF
Glad the Zoom went well and the weather in southern CA is pretty close to ideal. ?
Good about the workshop and the hair.
Glad to hear that your Zoom meeting went well. Fingers crossed for the others!
I wish I could send everyone dealing with heat/humidity some of our (Seattle) lovely walking weather. And thankfully, my ankle tendinitis has healed so I’ve been walking several miles each day.
Bruno Fazzolari Unsettled for me today – points for the pineapple.
Happy Wednesday!
That is a scent that intrigues me but I’m afraid if how my skin will amp it.When I encountered someone wearing it for the first time I mainly sniffed a rich sandalwood.It was lovely on them.
I don’t actually get much pineapple, if any. I just took points because it’s listed in the notes!
I get a bit of pineapple right after I apply Unsettled, but it goes away quickly. Is that the note you are concerned about? ?
The pineapple was a question mark for me.
Glad it’s healed and you are walking again.
Thanks – me, too!!!!
So glad your ankle has healed! My plantar fasciitis is back with a vengeance
I’m not really resting it (tsk tsk) but I have been indulging it with topical anti-inflammatories.
I had untreated plantar fasciitis for a couple of years, and didn’t even like to get up and walk around because of the pain. Then I went to a podiatrist, who treated the fasciitis with hydrotherapy, and electrotherapy, and had me wear a splint at night to keep my foot in place. It was cured in maybe six weeks(?) — less than two months. Wearing shoes with the proper support has helped also, and if I start to have pain again, I can put on the splint for a couple of nights. I highly recommend seeing a good podiatrist.
I went to a podiatrist years ago, when the pain first flared up, and she gave me inserts that made my back hurt so badly I literally couldn’t sleep (like I slept for maybe an hour each night for a week). I’m sure a better podiatrist would yield different results
but I’m still pretty scarred from the experience. But I’m so glad your pain was fixed!
So glad about your ankle! And yes please on the weather.
So glad to read your ankle is better!
No SOTD, yet, as I’m still just waking up, but I think Coumerin will inspire me to reach for Fig Tree. Green figs and branches sounds nice!
It is late afternoon here and honestly I am still waking up.
Agreed. It is so hard to feel alert these days! I’m sleeping so much and always so tired.
I was really looking forward to a quiet day puttering around at home in the air conditioning but my mother called and she’s out of a few essential (to her) items that require driving to another town to buy. So off into the heat and humidity I go! Not even going to shower first, there’s no point. Wearing CK One.
Yes, I was thinking why did I shower when I took the kids outside and returned back worse off than before my shower
That is nice of you ringthing! Points for taking care of mom.
Lovely, refreshing shower. Mixed the L’Occitane Green Tea body lotion with unscented, spritzed on some of the matching body spray and topped it off with Jasmin Perle du Thé.
My Fitbit recorded that I got fewer than 6 hrs sleep. I woke up terribly early, Agnes joined me on the bed for some petting but I gave up on going back to sleep. Hoping a CoQ10 supplement keeps me going.
The CP keeps reminding me of the trip I made with a friend to Bermuda in my 20s. We drank Piña Coladas every chance we got. Not realizing the more traditional drink would have been a rum swizzle. Such a fun time…riding scooters, falling asleep on the beach and realizing that men in Bermuda shorts and blazers are very attractive.
I so wish I could handle going for a walk, but wearing a mask in this humidity is a non-starter.
The last drink I ever had with alcohol in it was a Pina Colada at The Bitter End Yacht Club at Virgin Gorda, BVI in 1984.
They made them with ice cream. All I remember is laying on the cool tile floor of the restaurant.
I never had a drink again or anything with coconut.
I will have some fresh pineapple for a snack later!
Oh, a bad experience, I had some to but that never made me quit completely
Apsara, good for you for knowing when to stop and being able to stick to it.
I got to go to Bermuda when I was 18 for an invitational gymnastics college meet! (When you want to break in a new gymnastics floor fast and your athletes are mostly teeny kids, you invite college gymnasts over to play).
A lot of the teams were Division I/II schools with athletes on full or partial athletic scholarships so they took their training and competing VERY seriously and had curfews, etc.
My Division III (no athletic scholarships) team rented scooters and drove all over the island and indulged in many rum swizzles and piña coladas.
Our coach had said (optimist, the poor man) “let’s try to keep the team all-around score within 30 points of the next highest score!” We definitely came in last by a much larger margin than that, but we had a lot of fun!
great story!
Isn’t it funny how shorts on the bottom and long sleeve shirts (or blazers, I’m sure) on top look so much better on men than short sleeved shirts with long pants?
Points for DIY on the CP: I’m wearing L’Artisan Ananas Fizz on one hand and Guerlain Coconut Fizz on the other. I smell fizzy fruity
Oh yay!
Following suit w/ others and wearing HdP 1804 from a sample set I never properly tested.? But I shall rectify that w/ my new perfume scent strips.?
Going to sniff 1826, 1876 and 1725 today which is the order they are in the box lest I confuse myself.
The one I like is Colette and I can never remember the darned years!
1873! I have that one and love it!
Hello! Joining many others this week in Bronze Goddess. I’ve been wanting to give it a try. (Thanks for the opportunity, KellyC!
) Just one spray on my arm was enough for me to smell it plainly. It did remind me of suntan lotion. 
I like it, though. Sometime when I’m going to be away from the house for a while, I’ll be able to wear it for more than a small amount of time.
I ran out of coconut water (oh, noes!). But I made a couple of bottles of tea, so I’m good for things to drink. I’ll try that Celestial Seasonings Country Peach herbal tea when it’s been refrigerated for a while. It smelled good when I was brewing it.
I like the cream better than the fragrance now…and I swear it has more sillage too.
One of my favorite Celestial Seasonings herbal teas is Raspberry Zinger. It’s really good either hot or cold.
Yes, I’ve got Raspberry Zinger, too.
I think I liked it better hot, but I’ll have to experiment with the amount of sweetener I put in it to see if that changes how I feel about an iced tea version. It turned out that I had a couple of boxes of assorted fruit flavors of Celestial Seasonings herbal teas, and I think I have separate boxes that are just Raspberry Zinger and just Lemon Zinger.
The Zingers are so good.
Sometimes they really hit the spot.
Still hotter than all get out outside. The humidity hates the heat miserable. Was in no 22 earlier today but now have a tiny dab of vintage no 5 edt on. I am debating on either Worth Courtesan of Frapin 1270 for Friday. Both have pineapple.
Happy hump day!
Finally got a nice project at work. The customer is working on ‘bath teas’ – a blend of dried herbs, flowers, himalayan salt. I will be selecting some fragrances for them to add.
SotD is Anatole Lebreton Grimoire. Churchy incense plus herbal lavender – what’s not to love!?
what a lovely project!
Nice project!
I have a decant, interesting stuff, must try it again
Oooh, I would love to try bath tea.
Intriguing project! I hope it goes swimmingly for you.
Hahaa!
Wearing Eau de Gloire by Parfum d’Empire, not very Pina Colada, but very nice.
Tea is mint tea.
I hope to do some pineapple tomorrow.
I love Eau de Gloire!
I had surgery 10 days ago and I’m just starting to feel like myself again. It has been unseasonably cold in Portland, in contrast to the rest of the USA, my furnace came on this morning and I’ve been wearing a jacket outdoors. I think I’ll wear Virgin Island Water this morning and think my way into warmer weather.
I’m so glad you are feeling better!
Happy to hear you’re feeling better and wishing a continued speedy recovery.
Sending you virtual hot soup!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Glad you are feeling better! I would love to be where you are instead of this sweltering steambath.
Happy for you you have recovered well, hope you will be 100% very soon.
I am sending you a swinging hammock to recover in.
I’m glad your recovery is going well. Sending you a virtual cashmere sweater.
Sending healing thoughts. I hope you are 100% soon!
Good to hear about your recovery! My friend in Portland sent me a picture this morning of a deer in her back yard!
Sending you thoughts of healing and of warmer weather!
Hello friends, not following the CP at all in Parisienne this morning! The fiance told me last week that he had a bright and early surprise for me for today that involved driving somewhere about 10 miles away. I figured out through context clues that it was probably some kind of food picking (my guesses: oysters! strawberries! clams! peaches?), and so this morning, we went…berry picking!!! The farm had Obsidian, Marion, Ollalie, and Boysenberries, and because we went so early, it wasn’t crowded and scarily full of people. I’m not sure how many of us had no children with us, but we couldn’t have been numerous. Anyway, we came home with about four pounds of berries, and once home, we munched on one of each. They are incredible! Sweet, juicy, flavorful. I can’t wait to eat more. The morning was all the more fun because it was a surprise mystery present.
Anyway, that’s why I put on Parisienne this morning, to keep blackberries close to my skin
What fun. I love berries too. I know people enjoy them in pies, muffins, etc. but I really prefer them plain to get all the glory of the unadulterated flavor.
All this morning I was torn! I adore blackberry pie, but these berries were so fresh and amazing that I couldn’t imagine COOKING them and ruining that gorgeousness! So yeah, right now the plan is to just stuff them in our faces
Lucky you! Fresh berries are the best.
They are!! So tasty. I want to go back and get more in like a week, but all their slots are already taken (during COVID, they have strict time slots and such).
Ooh, very nice! Enjoy them!
Four pounds is a lot of berries, but I think we can gobble them up no problem! So yummy.
Good to hear about your recovery! My friend in Portland sent me a picture this morning of a deer in her back yard!
eek, posting hiccup. Wrong spot!
My mouth is watering, for real.
Sounds lovely !!!
My mouth is watering again thinking about them, even though I just had some 15 min ago
Wow, great surprsie!
Yeah it was really sweet of him
Really started my day off right!
I have the best memory of driving down a little dirt lane in northern Indiana where an Amish farm had posted a sign on the road, “Berries for Sale.” Mom was with me as she knew them. (Neighbors.) An Amish woman and her young daughter were picking raspberries and an adorable small boy was stuffing his face. He had blond hair in a bowl haircut and a little pair of overalls with a blue shirt. Barefoot. I don’t idealize the Amish, but he was utterly beautiful. And his hands and little face were all completely stained purple! How I longed to take his picture, but they don’t want that. It’s a picture in my mind though, still.
Thank you for painting the picture so vividly in my head
That is a really nice memory. I hope the berries were also tasty, if you got to eat any!
Indeed they were! The family would come in their horse-drawn cart down the road to Mom’s house and pick up all of her fallen apples. Mom never used many of them and there were so many on the ground, it was a nuisance. They would gather them and make cider and bring her several bottles. It was sweet. The mother was also very beautiful.
Your fiancé is a real sweetheart! Enjoy the berries and figuring out how to use them. You can always put them on a cookie sheet and flash freeze them, then store them in the freezer in a zip bag. ?
Oh that’s a good idea! I’ll do that if it seems like we’ve slowed down in eating them in a couple days
And yes, he really is <3
Wow, what a great way to get out of the house and score fresh produce at the same time! I think you should still consider baking a pie, though. On the off chance that you two will be tired of eating all those fresh berries…
Hehehe. I might do that if I’m sick of them by the weekend
OR maybe I’ll get a box of store-bought blackberries to make pie with!
How fun! Where did he hide the perfume? Just kidding.
Ahahaha
SOTD = Mugler Angel Muse
Yes, I used 8 sprays ?
I’ve mentioned the Bruno Fazzolari Sample Set program for the past few days because I think it’s a great deal for someone who wants to try more of this line. I’m not affiliated and I checked with Robin first before embarking on this community service. I am happy to note that we now have one pair (???) and I will email them tonight!
Here’s how it works, in short. Essentially, for $9 (which includes shipping), you get a customizable 3-sample set and a 2nd person (for another $9) gets the exact same set. If interested, go to the Lazy Weekend Poll from this past Saturday; my post is around the 12:23pm Eastern time stamp. Offer is good for July and I offered to match pairs of people. Please email me by July 10 to be included in the matching.
*** New *** As an added “incentive”, everyone who participates will get a chance to be in a random draw of a never tested perfume something that I somehow have two of so I am giving one away. Even if you end up not being matched, you still qualify. Please remember that by emailing me with your 4 sample choices and you end up being matched, you are committed to working with your pair-partner to come to a mutually agreed upon conclusion (I’m not involved once the match is done).
8 sprays of Muse should keep you smelling great until tomorrow!
I am still enjoying it!
Wish I were in the US! What a brilliant idea hajusuuri
It’s a great idea. I suppose you don’t have a U.S. mule, do you?
I have fam that lives in the US but no idea when I’ll see them next… Plus my sample coffer is almost full, so I need to be a good girl and use up a few before I go after any more!
So much rain these days
Sotd is Amouage Jubilation XXV
Even though it smells very rich, I dont think this fits the cp. Sorry!
You smell beautiful though. I don’t know if you have access to the nrc, but today’s column by Japke D is interesting and very funny.
I love her columns and yes today’s piece was quite interesting.
Part of it kinda echoed wat i heard someone say this week about working from home everyday “its like the movie groundhog day”
And yes it sometimes feels like that. Same room, same chair, all day every day…
Rain overnight, woke up to a steamy 81% humidity. Hot and muggy. So glad we went to the lavender farm yesterday when it wasn’t so bad. Made some lavender scones, ate them with peach lavender jam.
yum!
Wearing VCA Bois d’Iris, which is lovely but zero sillage. I’m not exaggerating when I say I put on 25 sprays and can barely get a whiff. I think I’m going to start wearing this to bed to use it up.
That sounds fantastic!
Lavender scones with Peach lavender jam! Now that is something id really like to taste ?
Sounds delightful and really summery ?
Oh, yum. Those scones and jam sound amazing. I hope it cools off soon!
I agree with you on the longevity and sillage of Bois d’Iris. I have to soak on it to barely smell it and it is gone in minutes. My 10ml decant was gone in just days. I will spray on the last drops tonight and I am not expecting to replace it. Beautiful and enjoyable for the brief time it lasted.
Days!? I had a small decant, and it hung on me too long. I think though that it has a note that bothers me, so I was hyper sensitive to it.
Lucky you, because I really like, but like Cazaubon it is just too fleeting on me.
Those scones sound deadly good!!
Yumm. But no no no on the steambath.
Waiting for a shared spreadsheet to become available so I will take some time to post my sotd!
Wearing Guerlain Terracotta today with a backdrop of BBW Exotic Coconut lotion. Happy Wednesday everyone.
Smelling very tropical today! ??
Terracotta is so pretty.
Flower Porn by Heretic today. Man does this one smell good and I hope there is coconut in here somewhere? It seems very familiar to something else- aldehydic maybe, can’t quite put my finger on it yet.
Happy Hump day if that’s still a thing.
Gosh I can’t quit binging Season 2 of My Brilliant Friend (I should read my books instead I know) “WOW Lila” is all I can say , and that I want to wear all my leather perfumes as I watch it ??!
Yikes, No! I just realized that I put flower porn in my purse stash and wore Crystal Pistil by DS & Durga instead. That fits my reaction better. Good stuff.
Angela-the series are good, but I have never watched a film or series and said “Wow that was SO much better than the book” non é vero!
They do a great job portraying the characters but there is nothing like the ones that form in your mind while reading
Anch’io cara.
Assolutamente Sì.
Però devo dirti che la ragazza che fa ‘Lila’ è veramente bravissima.
In Miu Miu Eau Bleue, a lovely extra from the swap meet – lily of the valley, so I’m pretty far off the CP!
Hot here today, but not humid – we’ll be close to a 100 for the rest of the week, but on Sunday, we are headed north for a week’s vacation, which I’m very excited about. The forecast for one of the places we’re going to on the coast is for 60 degrees – sounds great to me!
Not on the CP and wearing Granville for some refreshing herbs, although there is still a note of rheumatism ointment.
Points for wearing Jean Patou Colony with its pineapple.
That one could be considered a perfume unicorn due to its scarcity.
It’s a great baby leather in the drydown, there are some great deals to be had as the whole collection is being fazed out. I recently got Que sais-je , a lovely fruity amber.
Immortal Beloved – rum, plum, passionfruit etc. – more hot toddy than pina colada which suits the snow flurries and freezing rain down here.

Amazing photo of birds keeping warm on a jasmine vine growing in a shed. The birds are about sparrow size but with tails like fans
Oh, very neat article.
That seems like a good way for the little birds to stay warm.
Oh my gosh they are so cute!
That is adorable
Lovely!
That is a great photo! ?
What darling little birds!
Oh gosh, I can use good news about flocking together. Just shared the story on FB! Thank you.
http://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/new-zealand-fantail
They are very cool birds. When you walk through the bush ( forest) they iften follow for ages , going over the ground you disturb as they lok for insects.
That is TOO cute! I “awwwwed” when I read the story.
Nearly twins – I wore that last night!
It’s been a bit bleak , eh? Dreaming of holidays in Fiji!
No points – I’m wearing Dzongkha. I needed to be centered today. It worked brilliantly.
ommmmmmmmmmmm . . . Dzongkha is perfect for centering.
You smelled beautiful today.
I’m going classic today in Vol de Nuit.
that is a Guerlain I haven’t smelled yet
Oh, you must!
ok!
VdN is perfection
I agree with tiffanie, VdN is absolutely perfect.
Very late to the party.
Today I thunked my sample of Frederic Malle Music For a While for this CP. This was my only pineapple scent (I think), and I probably will not re-purchase. The combination of pineapple and lavender is very unusual and creative, and I do love lavender, but I have not yet found a pineapple scent I really like. Still, I almost like Music For a While…
Ok, I am getting paranoid. ??
I have just received a welcome email from Frederic Malle website. ?
(But if I get surprise complimentary samples, I won’t complain. ?)
Oh man! I would be paranoid too! I hope you get free stuff though?
Creepy…but I am so used to it now. Ads show up on my Instagram even for things that I discussed verbally with a colleague (pre-COVID). We were discussing disposable wipes and I mentioned using 7th Generation and lo and behold, we both got ads for 7th Generation products!
Late for no good reason today!
Day off, and I started out in Viva la Juicy Noir. Now I’m in Chloe Love Story eau Sensuelle.
It rained for all of one minute today, of course while I was driving. Better chances of real rain tomorrow. My air conditioner really needs a break from running so much.
I hope that you get the rain you want! ☔
ha! same for me, late for no reason other than my brain is a little scrambled, but that’s ok sometimes.
We had rain and hail on Monday. Today, it was lightning and thunder and a few minutes downpour. We need to rain but it did not cool down after the downpour.
Robin, you might find this funny. I posted the link about yesterday’s chocolate teapot somewhere else, and at least 3 of my friends replied with “Take My Money!” emojis. The only way this story could get better is if one of them actually takes the plunge, and buys said teapot. ?
I’ve been keeping a wary eye to the sky today. The sky is looking kind of sketchy. It felt super muggy and grody early on, so I went grocery shopping before lunchtime. Easy trip, and people were masked up, and social distancing. One person in the parking lot told me “You can take the mask off now!” I just shook my head and said “Not yet.” I don’t take off the mask until I am inside my vehicle. This was before I had learned that my governor had issued a mandatory “Wear masks outside if you can’t social distance” order earlier today. ?
SOTD = back in Cedrat Enivrant. It’s one of two scents I strongly associate with Hajusuuri: the other one is No. 19 EdP, of course. ?
We are the same here with the masks. Although it’s not being enforced. I just wish people would wear them correctly!
two thumbs up for two great scents! CE and No. 19 make me smile and think of hajusuuri too.
Love you back!
???♥️♥️♥️
Oh, thank you for the good feels!
Only way it gets better is your friend buys one plus buys one for me, ha!
SotD Jorum Studios Nectary.
The weather forecast today said “20% chance of rain” which inevitably meant “½ hour deluge in the middle of the afternoon and then sun” ?
So it feels like a bain marie in the apartment, but on the bright side the dough for this week’s pizza (pepperoni with fresh oregano and basil) rose in record time!
Two fruity ones today: Hiram Green Vivacious this morning and Arielle’s Saturday this afternoon. Two plinks!
Hey Nancyleandros- we’re you still looking for Blvgari au the bleu? If so I will send you mine. Let me know at
g m r a z o o g (no spaces) in yahooville
Hey lillyjo, I certainly am still looking for au the bleu! I’m sure we can craft a swap of some sort; will drop you a line. Thanks so much!
I am in Jacobo #8 today. I thought it had some coconut but no, it doesn’t. Still nice though. Hot hot hot here.
I thought my perfume this morning had coconut too… but nope!
How is your foot after the cat litter fell on it
Thanks for asking. It’s tender and red but not terribly painful or purple. Better than I expected!
SotD = Eau de Guerlain
Not a pineapple or coconut in sight, still simply perfect for summer.
It is!
Caron Piu Bellodgia for the second time this week
