Thursday scent of the day 2/11
It’s Almost-Friday and Inventors’ Day aka Thomas Edison’s birthday. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m in vintage Diorissimo. Loyalty, honesty and hard work might be stretching it, but it’s as dependable as they come. I am awarding myself a partial point.
Reminder: on 2/12, welcome the Year of the (Metal) Ox…
I can’t get past the smell
No offense to all Americans, but peanut butter? What’s the deal with peanut butter? To me, it just smells flat. It almost sucks my being into the jar. When I was growing up, all I wanted to do was move to America and experience everything American. You know, peanut butter, cheerleaders, prom — all of these things. I tried. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to like peanut butter, but I can’t get past the smell.
