It's Hump Day and National Peanut Brittle Day. Birthdays: Bessie Coleman, Paul Newman, Lucinda Williams. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Don't Tell Jasmine by Vilhelm Parfumerie.
Reminder: 1/28 is Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette's birthday. Do whatever you like with the theme (wear a fragrance inspired by Colette or one of her characters? scent a character? scent Leslie Caron in the movie Gigi? Or wear Guerlain Jicky, which Colette is said to have worn.)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2022, where I'll try to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: top image is Audrey Hepburn in costume as Gigi, for the Broadway play, 1951.
Mugler Day 3: Angel Liqueur de Parfum 2013. Angel for grownups: rich and dark and mysterious, dripping with honey. *Almost* too much. Very Mugler.
So delicious. You smell wonderful.
2nd that. Best Mugler ever.
Cire Trudon Aphélie for me today. Finally received my First in Fragrance order from a month ago… they sent it without the correct paperwork the first time and the box was returned to Germany. You’d think they would be more experienced and efficient being in business for so long… but at least it arrived intact with lots of nice samples.
Ooh, have fun with the new samples. Sometimes when it’s taken that long for something to arrive, I forget I’ve ordered it so it’s like a little surprise.
Glad your parcel finally arrived! It’s a bit disconcerting when they take sooo long. Lots of samples helps to take the edge off!
Perfume has arrived! It’s a happy moment, even if it did take too long.
Huzzah for perfume arriving! ✨?
I’m in Molecule 01.
-10 on my way into work this morning.? I was hoping my daughter would have school called off like many in the surrounding area, but no such luck. Blue skies and sun again though, so that’s a win. Tomorrow is supposed to be back up into the 30’s, it’s gonna feel
like a heatwave.
Strange, strange dreams last night. Not nightmares, but definitely dreams I was happy to wake up and find that they were just dreams.
Happy hump day!?
You’ve got us beat…only -4 here. The side benefit of these temps is they tend to make me sleep in. Gonna take another hour or so till I can clear-headedly choose a SOTD.
I hate to say it, but I do sleep better in winter with the longer hours of darkness, closed windows and down comforters. Summer is still my favorite though.?
Ooh, +30, break out the shorts! LOL.
Haha. This made me chuckle, thanks.?
Seriously though, if I take a drive through campus tomorrow I guarantee I’ll see someone in shorts.?
I’m thunking a decant of Nomade.
Nice! What do you think of it?
Byredo 1996 for me.
I tend to wear it a lot doing wintertime.
Today it fits perfect for gloomy rainy day here in Denmark.
It’s definitely a comfort scent for me.
Also the description of the fragrance is for once on point.
I wish the rereleased the candle they did for a limited time, sadly I never got around to buy it, but I bet it was fabulous.
1996 is the only Byredo that has worked for me of the ones I’ve tried. I bet the candle was great.
I feel the same
Tho I like many of them, few really works for me and their price point is beginning to annoy me.
I bet the candle was amazing as well
You smell great! My favorite Byredo as well.
Thank you
It really is a gorgeous scent ?
Wearing Wrappings, both the fragrance and lotion on this cold and rainy day!
Wonderful!
Smelling great today and into tonight!
Good morning. Peanut brittle, mmm.
Sotd is Black Orchid parfum.
Currently drinking jasmine green tea.
I almost word Black Orchid parfum today too. I love it so know you smell wonderful!
I meant wore of course.
Wearing and loving Angel Muse.
I have a peanut brittle story! My mother made wonderful peanut brittle, with a light, crisp honey comb texture that melted in your mouth. Long ago when my daughter was little, I decided to make mom’s recipe. You had to have a candy thermometer and it took ages to boil to the right temp, then you add baking soda and whoosh! It foams up in the pot and you immediately pour it into a large, buttered rimmed pan. The saucepan I used was too small so when the whoosh! happened I had to throw it in the prepared pan, where it continued to whoosh! over the edges and all over the counter top. Omg what a mess! We all worked for days chipping that sticky stuff off the (hideous orange formica) counter, which eventually came clean. I had peanut brittle ptsd!
Sounds a bit like the instant pudding in Sleeper! It also sounds delicious — I love when peanut brittle has that airy texture.
Oh my, totally forgot that Sleeper scene!
SOTD: Vouloir Être Ailleurs C.G (continuing to dream of Spring)
Speaking of Ms. Hepburn my husband and I have tickets on the big screen to see Breakfast at Tiffany’s on Valentine’s Day. Should be fun!
Seems like a wonderful idea for Valentine’s Day ?
It really is! Have fun floragal.
I’m wearing Corsica Furiosa today just because I miss it. A warm weather staple, it doesn’t get as much as when I was living full time in weather >85F and 100% humidity. It’s as lovely as ever!
We just finished a spinach and turkey sausage scramble with toast, still sipping coffee. Fortifying myself for a hike today with a 1000’ elevation gain. If I never post again, you know I have gone space trucking.
I had to add a bit of scramble to T-Rex’s kibble because the last couple of days she hasn’t been interested in eating her breakfast. This is absolutely not like her. She chows down her dinner no problem, but in the morning for some reason she’s not interested. She has a lot of hyperactive bowel sounds in the morning, too. So, if this keeps up I will take her to the vet to get evaluated.
Hope everyone has a swell smell well day! ✌?
I hope T-Rex is feeling more herself soon.
Handing an enabler pin to you after your mention of Colorpop earlier this week. I went down that rabbithole and got several shadows coming to me. Do I need any more? Heck no, but I stumbled onto a 30% off sale that day. I even went out of my comfort zone with a few colors. I think that’s the idea with them!
I hope you have fun with them! They’re always having sales and some of their catalog is available at Ulta if you have one near you. I went out of my comfort zone too, and got a color called “Chirp” which is straight up orange. I put that on the lid, and then toned it down a little with a midtone grey in the crease. Perfectly wearable! Have fun!
I understand how upsetting it is when your pets don’t eat as usual. Hope you girl is okay.
Thanks!
Oh no! I hope T-Rex is ok and she starts eating her breakfast soon!
Yeah, she lives for eating, so not sure what’s going on in the mornings. She may have just scavenged something that upset her tummy a bit.
Hope it is a wonderful hike! And joining in well wishes for T-Rex.
I survived the hike, and thanks for the well wishes!
Joining others in well wishes for T-Rex, and wishing you serene and happy time with her!
Hope you had a fun hike and live to tell about it!?
Poor T-Rex. I’m sorry you are seeing your boy not himself. Hugs to you.
Awwwwwwww, sorry to hear that T-Rex is feeling under the weather. I hope whatever it is, isn’t serious and is easily remedied.
Love the image of Audrey Hepburn, Robin!
Today I am embracing winter in L’Eau d’Hiver.
1°C right now, but my weather app says it “feels like -3°…
L’Eau d’Hiver is beautiful, but I think I’ll switch to something more energizing for my evening run, maybe Oyedo?
Have a great day, everyone!
L’Eau d’Hiver is very beautiful. It’s one that I find takes a particular weather to wear for me.
I know exactly what you mean! Definitely not a fragrance I can wear in all weathers. But today it was lovely.
She was gorgeous, wasn’t she?
It really was ?
Grrr… She ?
I am wearing Chanel 31 Rue Cambon.
I was thinking of wearing Angel Nova on Friday in honor of Mugler but didn’t know if it would really work for Colette.
Am patiently waiting for my orders of Pulp and Fox in the Flowerbed. I feel like a little kid at Christmas, and I am 63 years old! For any nurses out there, this is what this retired nurse has started doing-swooning over nice perfumes.
You’re living my retirement dream! ?
Oh, and mine, too!
Just got the word that my little sis will be induced to deliver my second niece tonight! I’m excited and nervous; with her first delivery, her blood pressure dropped dangerously low.
Wearing Iris Poudre, which is accidentally fitting. A favorite scent for a great-news day.
Oh yay I am excited for you! Good luck to your little sister, hope everything goes well! ??
Hope all goes well. You smell fantastic!
Good luck to your sister. Hope all goes well!
Good luck to your sister!
Wishing your sister an uneventful delivery (except for the main event, of course!)
Do report back!!
Wishing her a very positive experience, and do keep us posted!
Oh sending you and your sister all very best wishes ❤️
Best of luck to your sister, and congratulations to you! Hope that everything went smoothly. ??
Wearing Black Hemlock from scent trunk today. Really smelling the resins that MMKinPA mentioned when I asked what they thought of the smell. I think this smells delicious! It also vaguely reminds me of a limited edition bath bomb Lush used to do around Easter, they haven’t reused the scent in years and I still miss it. Which is to say I’m very happy I picked up this perfume!
How nice!! Which bath bomb, btw?
Here’s the agonizing thing, I don’t remember its name! I just remember it came out at Easter, and it looked like an egg you could crack. They still release ones that look similar but they changed the smell to something completely different..
No worries, thanks!
Did anyone else think at first glance that the Audrey Hepburn photo was a photo of a young Boy George?
Wearing Dryad today for oomph. Been awake since 3am thanks to my incessant insomnia, so it’s going to be a bleary day.
Yes!!
To the question, not your insomnia of course. Hope tonight is better!
I also thought of Boy George first
Yes! Me too. I think it’s the hat.
Yes, indeed — that’s exactly what I thought, and then I thought, “Wow, he looks so innocent in this photo…”
Wow, totally did not but now I see it!
Yes! I’ve been scrolling through to see if anyone else thought so! Those eyebrows and the hat for sure!
Yes — I also thought it was a photo of Boy George.
Definitely a resemblance to Boy George, even though I thought it was Leslie Caron at first. Then I read the caption.
Wearing eau Premiere today. I used up the last of my Amazon gift card to get some dry goods (groceries). With all the empty shelves and sky high prices, I have to off set the cost a little bit.
Seriously! And you smell great doing it.
I watched Macbeth last night with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand and realised, as I was watching, that the black and white cinematography and simple set made it much easier for me to hear and understand the dialogue. I was not distracted by the busyness of the visuals ( that went with earlier versions) and was completely drawn in. Loved it. Washington is so agile in the way he speaks that his performance felt entirely natural. McDormand not so much. Wearing Chypre Mousse which I almost just wrote as Chypre Mouse. So windy but I slept in my new noise cancelling headphones and it was bliss.
This movie is on my list. Agreed that sometimes Macbeth can be performed with too much stage business. Washington is a treat with Shakespeare- see his earlier film performance in Much Ado with Kenneth Branaugh. But I really want to see McDormand in this!
I felt she had great stage presence but battled with the words. I’d forgotten about Much Ado…must watch it again. Another good film ( documentary) is The Tamed Garden about a Georgian ( country) billionaire who buys and collects massive mature trees and transplants them in his own property. Also brutal.
Branaugh’s version of Much Ado about Nothing has to be the only version where I’m like Beatrice marry the prince, come on you know you want to marry the prince! Denzel was just so good in that role!
Yes, she was absolutely astounding, such a shapeshifter in the way she moved and embodied the role.
For Vee
I did not even know about the MacBeth (I am STILL on August New Yorkers, so I know nothing) so thank you!!
And Much Ado is really the best movie if you’re feeling down. So cheerful.
I loved it too. The cinematography reminded me of The Seventh Seal. I liked the stripped down set because it felt like they were acknowledging that it is a play, not a movie script, and it works better in a play-like atmosphere. And I thought Denzel Washington was great, but it was Kathryn Hunter’s performance that took my breath away.
I’m in Reve d’Ossian today since I saw a good deal on a partial bottle and needed to make up my mind about it. Unfortunately, while I think the perfume smells great, the overdose of aldehydes gives me a headache and sinus irritation. My body can only take small doses of aldehydes it seems. For example, they don’t bother me at all in Tiger’s Nest.
Oh drat, hope you feel better therabbitsflower! There is nothing worse than a perfume headache.
Thanks, Robin! My headache is almost gone now and should feel even better after I eat lunch.
Oh, that’s a shame Reve d’Ossian gave you a headache!
Especially because the dry down is so good! Luckily, I find it and Tiger’s Nest to be similar, so I’ll stick with TN once my Reve decant is gone.
Glad that it’s a decant and not a full 100mL bottle, then!
Eau Duelle for another day of my incense week. I will use up my small decant, but wont need more of it.
Had a dream, where i had lots of miniature live cats all over my clothing, so i could not move or sit down or do anything against it, very strange. Sometimes i wonder what my resting brain comes up with…
And yet, while dreaming, things never seem that odd.
Happy Humpday!
Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay cologne is my Sotd.LOVELOVE,I always think of it as ” Iris Poudre’s drydown as a complete perfume”.
Temps are climbing this week,it’s 19:57 here and still 23 celcius.We had a peach colored sunset and I wish I took photographs!
Be well friends,the weekend is near…!!
XO’s
Oo, I love Iris Poudre’s drydown! And I realized last week during Dior week that I have a few fragrances that are entirely about the drydown to me — like Leather Oud, which was a bit much for the first hour but during the latter part of the day I literally wanted to lick my arms…
Oh I totally agree,but I also discovered a couple of “meh” fragrances that are actually spectacular in the drydown,Rochas L’Absolue is the first one that comes to mind.
Iris Poudre is beyond beautiful,but oh boy,the drydown is something else!❤️❤️✌??
I love Blackberry and Bay and sometimes pair it with Orange Blossom or Wood Sage and Sea Salt Body Creme.
Oh nice!I have a set of 5 5mls meant to be mixed and matched with layering,blackberry and bay,wood sage and sea salt,lime basil and mandarin are my top 3 from it.
Johano please send me some warmth! I am freezing!
2nd that!!
Sending a biiiiig warm hug to both you and Robin!???
After finishing a vetiver decant yesterday, I am taking an easy-decision day with some Paris-Venise, after a bath with the Paris-Venise gel.
You smell great! My favorite from the Paris line.
Bvlgari au The Vert
Always works!
True
How’s your puppy?
Humpday!
SOTD: Jicky (from a split) for Colette. This is gorgeous- even though it is originally from the time period for Colette – and i am sure it has been reformulated- this feel pretty darn modern and fresh, yet quite alluring. It reminds me of YSL Libre in a way.
It is such a great scent! I am still looking for my parfum but the regular is already fantastic.
*smells arm* Oh, it’s so, so good! I am really tempted to get a full bottle just because!
Jicky is beautiful !
It’s really beautiful! It needs a modern ad campaign, honestly.
Racing by to say that I’m wearing ELdO 500 Years. It doesn’t have any connection with the CP, it’s because my FB arrived a couple of days ago.
I got it from a place in Australia that revels in the name Feeling Sexy Perfume. Ghastly name, but good range and good service for anyone in this part of the world looking for perfume sources.
That’s good to know.
That one sounded really good when I was checking out available samples on ELdO’s website.
Can you all tell me about your favorite wash-off face masks? I’ve been using some from Peter Thomas Roth for years, but the current stash is almost gone so I’m thinking about changing it up. I like to use them three times a week, and I rotate a different one each day (currently, I’m down to having just three different masks). I’m also happy to hear about any trial size mask kits. Thanks!
Are you looking for hydrating or someething else? I like the Skinfood Black Sugar wash off mask. Some hydration, some exfoliation.
https://www.ulta.com/p/black-sugar-mask-wash-off-xlsImpprod14431255
Thanks, I’ll check that out. I mostly use them for hydration or pore purification, but I do like some occasional exfoliation.
In that case, I really like this mask by Innisfree. I have oily skin that is also prone to redness and irritation and this one is both soothing and purifying.
https://www.sephora.com/product/innisfree-pore-clearing-clay-mask-P468658?skuId=2443240&icid2=products%20grid:p468658:product
I’ll check that out too!
I like Avene, and have been using their antirougeur mask for a while.
Thanks, AnnieA. I’ll look into that one.
In Amouage Jubilation 25.
Having a much needed big bowl of coffee ice cream to try to make the day more bearable. My patience is being greatly tested at work by my new boss. I am trying to keep it cool, but I do not know for how longer. Delaying a deadline because he wants to apply standards he was used to from his previous company is absolutely unacceptable, especially when he took over just a month ago and we were supposed to submit the project 2 weeks ago. We might considered implementing some of his suggestions for new projects but not when we are ready to turn it over. I feel that this is going to take and ugly turn at any moment. The whole team is about to explode. I am meeting with him sometime this afternoon. Please wish me luck!
Good luck to you. Curious how that will play out.
Super good luck!☕?
Wishing you very good luck! ?
Wishing you luck and more ice cream just in case.
Good luck pl67. I hope you can talk some good sense into him!
Hope it all goes well.
Well, I have to applaud your coping mechanism — that hits the spot in so many circumstances.
Remain calm and resolute. And stock up on the ice cream.
HUGE luck to you. My only advice is to take a bowl of ice cream into the meeting with you
Good luck PL67!
That’s on another level of “this sucks”!
Hang in there!
Sending hugs!(you smell fantastic by the way!)
XO’s
Good luck!??
Good luck!
I hope it went well!
I sure hope that your meeting went well! If not, I’m passing you another bowl of ice cream… ??
Thinking good thoughts for you!
Pythia for me today. I like it and hope that American Perfumer reoffers it; some of their limited editions have come back but not all of them. On the other hand, I was very excited to see that Soivohle has brought back Rosa Sur Reuse since I love it and it’s been discontinued for years
That’s welcome news — it’s so rare to have something you love that’s been discontinued come back in that way. Stock up!
That gives me hope that maybe Soivohle will bring back Calcutta. If so, I will get a bottle!
Rosa sur Reuse is a good one. Glad she brought it back.
Hermes Ambre Narguile today. In the mood for something sweet.
Smellin’ fine in Shalimar MVP!!! ?
Very fine!
Total win!
?!
It’s my last day of vacation and I don’t want to go back tomorrow!( stomping feet and pouty face)
My temperature has made it to 17 degrees and I am freezing! Since Christmas my thermostat has been turned up to 69 and 70. ( I usually keep it at 68) I just got the bill… ugh. Wearing some Angel Muse for some coziness.
Scent twins! Heating costs in the US are ridiculous this winter.
We smell awesome!
Oh the last day of a vacation is always sooo sad!
Good luck for tomorrow,let us know how it went!
?✌??
Thanks! Hopefully it will be uneventful.
My last heating bill was outrageous. I am recommitted to sweaters + sweatshirts before turning the heat up. Growing up, my parents kept the house a smidge warmer than “cool” in the winter; keeping my house warmer than warm as an adult is an expensive form of rebellion and I need to cut it out.
I have on fleece leggings under denim jeans, an undershirt, sweatshirt and a fleece jacket, socks and slippers! I try so hard to keep the heat down, but I thought I would splurge this season lol!
It looks like next week I might see 40 degrees!?
I programmed mine for 67 to 72 at various times and I haven’t touched it in a while. I may adjust it but I am actually comfortable the way it is so I am quite reluctant to mess with a good thing.
I’m in the same club as hajusuuri, with the programmable thermostat. Mine cycles between 66 and 71. Most of the time during the day it is set at 67 or 68.
Wearing wool socks until April, probably. I haven’t had to break out the ski socks yet.
Wearing Bois des Iles today.
I need to get my nose on Jicky. I think I once read that it can come off urinous, and thus struck it off my blind-buy list!
It’s not even remotely urinous to my nose, but then, I think Miel de Bois is polite and unchallenging, so caveat emptor! Jicky is one of my desert-island bottles, though — I just love it.
I have never tried it either, and I love Guerlain, so something must have discouraged me! I used to see it all the time at my local counter, but I don’t think they feature it at all in their current line up or recent stock in the store, pity.
I don’t remember anything urinous at all about Jicky. A small sample can’t hurt, right?
Exploring more Dusita today with La Doucer de Siam. I get mostly rose and frangipani, with a bit of rose water soap and a bit of clove in the mix, but no more than sprinkles. This is like a luxurious take on rose water.
Drinking Clippership’s vanilla bourbon black tea today.
Not sure I have come across frangipani in a perfume yet, but I should re-check my sniffing notes to make sure. I probably have and just don’t remember offhand.
Rushing by but it makes me happy to be here, even if only briefly, so hello and good luck to you all in dealing with all that the day contains! My Gigi thought for today was a perfume for the song “The Night They Invented Champagne” but I have no champagne perfumes. So, I’m wearing L’Heure Bleue as it has a peach note that apparently champagne perfumes also contain…That Audrey photo is beautiful! My plan for Friday is to wear a perfume for Audrey, as it seems she was disappointed not to be cast in the film after her success in the role on stage. I’ll wear a Givenchy perfume (because of her friendship with Givenchy himself) and the only one I have is Eau Demoiselle, but it seems like a good choice for young Gigi! Good luck everyone?❤️
The story I heard is she was offered the film and turned it down so she could be in Funny Face. Who knows!
Madtowngirl has me beat. We were only at -7 this morning as I headed out. But, boy was it pretty out with bright sunshine. I drove home along the water and am fascinated by the large number of ice fishing huts dotting the horizon.
Wearing Bengale Rouge, which is so glorious and lush and certainly appropriate for the demimondaines of Gigi.
Smelling fabulous!
Almost done with the Dusita discovery set. Today is Moonlight in Changmai and Cavatina. Nothing so far is a must have, and the remaining scent is Erawan, and from the notes it doesn’t sound like me. Oh well, money saved!
Moonlight in Changmai is a great name…
Calligraphy Rose for me today.
Such a pretty perfume with a gorgeous bottle to match!
Posting late again today. I got on a cleaning spree, and the time just flew by! Also, one of the cats decided to contribute to my afternoon activities by throwing up her lunch (sigh).
Mr. Jalapeno had ordered some KN-95 masks off Amazon, and they showed up yesterday. He ordered ones that look like they’ve been tie-dyed! ? I’ve had good luck with fit on those kinds of masks.
Still crossing fingers and sending good wishes for friends of mine who have COVID. At this point, I am going to assume that no news is good news.
SOTD = back in Safran Troublant.
You smell fabulous!
Thank you allo!
Well, that was very considerate of your cat to contribute.
At least you smell terrific! Adding crossed fingers for your ill friends.
I could do without the kitty contributions! But poor Spooky kitty has had some tummy upset for the past couple of days. She goes thru these bouts every so often.
You smell good, again!
Thank you! I’m thinking that this one would work really well for me in March, assuming that my sample lasts that long.
Jalapeno, I think you emailed me and I can’t find it ANYwhere. Can you resent? I apologize!
And adding that you do smell great, of course.
Yep, I did email. And it’s not a problem to resend.
I didn’t even show up in your spam folder? Wow. Harsh.
In Synthetic Jungle and reveling in green.
I love Synthetic Jungle too!
Thank you again for the PSA about the BG sale:)
You got a bottle, then?
Yep. And I’d love to share during the next splitmeet.
Good evening NSTers!! ?
SotD = Nouez Moi by House of Sillage. Feel great every time I wear this beauty.
My package with Shalini Fleur Japonais and Paradis Provence has arrived. And oh… this house is on another level. Fleur Japonais smells like the most natural smell I could ever imagine. It is about Sakura and smells just like it hits the spot for that except it has no sweetness. Or put it in other words: it is sweet WITHOUT being perfume-y sweet. It just smells like a blossom straight off a tree… Plus some incense to carry it through. Smells so pretty and natural if a guy would smell it on a woman she could have EASILY said this is my natural smell!! Like blossoms!! Gourgeous.
Paradis Provence is a different type of animal though LOL a beast. A lavender beast. Smells like blueish-purple rows of blooming lavender gently caressed by the wind. Again gorgeous.
PSA: Bergdorf Goodman still has 30% off selected Beauty. Some Shalini perfumes are included. Also, Rakuten had a 10% cash back option yesterday…
Busy busy
SOTD = Mugler Les Exceptions Oriental Express
So good!

In other news, lately, my IG feed has been giving me ads of DeLonghi cappuccino makers. I wonder how that happened since I have not searched for coffee makers ?. I think I can squarely blame ltsg because her stories usually feature said appliance…
My Pinterest feed is completely dominated by chateau gardens, extravagant lingerie, Marie-Antoniette-worthy layer cakes, and gorgeous velvet pseudo-Edwardian couture gowns. I’m like, “Who exactly do you think I am??” Cracks me up every time I open that site!
I’ve always wondered about the algorithms!
So it’s not just the phones spying on everyone, it’s the websites, too? ???
Nothing is safe anymore. I saw a documentary once on a head of state. He has no electronics in his office and if he making a call, it’s via a landline. This was no more than 3 years ago.
Yeah. I’ve had a lot of conversations with both Mr. Jalapeno and my brother about how privacy is an illusion these days. It’s still not pleasant to be reminded of it.
Back to yesterdays convo about Zoom lol! But I agree if there are things like pets that would distract you then camera off. But even as an administrator, who frequently runs Zoom meetings and Skype video calls, I almost always have my video on. But that being said, I don’t have to worry about Nacho being crazy (just snoring which is what mute is for haha). A lot of my zooms were actually in office, just held that way in an effort to cut down on in-person meetings during Covid.
Chiming in late to say that I spent the day in Nanadebary Bronze, and was Little Miss Fix-it all morning — replaced the light bulbs in my makeup mirror and patched a hole in a very old flannel shirt from Banana Republic’s earliest catalog days. Might have been the very first thing I ever mail-ordered (anybody remember that phrase?), and aside from the hole (where the bottom-most button is) it has held up perfectly!
Well good for you, and YES I remember actual mail order! And I remember when Banana Republic was, well, whatever it was — very different from what it is now.
LOL! And yes, Banana Republic today is a very far cry from what it was when I ordered that flannel shirt. Progress — sometimes good, and sometimes … rather less than good.
Dune today. No other reason except I just wanted it. And it truly hit the spot all day!
