It's Tuesday and Saint Nicholas Day and Ira Gershwin's birthday. In Canada, it’s the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm wearing a tiny dab of Terre d'Hermès, and drinking a cup of Upton Christmas tea.
Reminder: on 12/9, wear a fragrance with a leather or suede note, if you have one. (This is a repeat from 2016.)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2022, where I'll try (but obviously sometimes fail) to always have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
Note: the Bernardaud Noel Hot Beverage Server ("Festive, fun and unexpected, the Bernardaud Noel Dinnerware Collection creates a magical yet elegant atmosphere for holiday entertaining") is $427 at Bloomingdales.
Oh yay, we have a scented Robin! So glad you’re feeling a bit better.
The perfume closet says that I could easily do a week of leather scents, and two weeks (or more!) with a little stretching, so here I go. Yesterday was Penhaligons Iris Prima, and this morning I’m in Cuir Ottoman. Mr. G will chime in nightly with either Italian Leather or Cuir Pleine Fleur, his two favorites (which, so far, he is limiting to bedtime wear). Happy Tuesday all!
Twins with you today!
Nice! 😍
I suspect I will not be in much leather this week, but yes, slow and steady
Meant to include in post and forgot:
RIP Kirstie Alley.
https://people.com/tv/kirstie-alley-dead/
So sad 😞
I was surprised to learn that she was so much older than I am. I think of her as sort of a contemporary–a song on an album I never purchased but is still somehow part of my life’s soundtrack.
Gosh, same here….and also didn’t realize Shelley Long was only a couple years older than Kirstie Alley.
Wow, had no idea she was 71. RIP.
Robin I’m glad you’re on the mend, and I’m sorry to hear about Kirstie Alley. I loved her on Cheers, and on Dancing With the Stars.
Wearing Gallop by Hermes. I love it-I’ve had it for five years and it still feels special to me.
Hope everyone has a good Tuesday,
Carole
Galop is lovely! Have a good Tuesday
Galop is really really nice. You smell good.
Thank you
Robin, so glad to hear you are feeling better enough to be scented <3 Hope the rest of your recovery is speedy.
I am in Les Indemodables Vanille Havane. Dried fruits, chocolate and smoky vanilla with golden tobacco leaf — I love this fragrance. I got samples of other perfumes from the brand, can't wait to try them.
Les Indemodables as a perfume house is very interesting — I have been enjoying the Persolaise Masterclasses with Remi Pulverail from the brand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbAlZQ61aAw. Very interesting to hear about how perfume raw materials are sourced and issues with the supply chain. Very sobering look at what goes in behind the scenes.

Forgot to update on the Diptyque advent calendar! So far I have:
Day 2: Eau Rose EDP – will gift to a friend, not a huge fan of fresh roses
Day 3: Figuier candle – will probably gift away as well.
Day 4: Neige candle – I enjoyed this! A white musk candle, very cozy
Day 5: Do Son perfumed soap – so fragrant! It's a small bar, but my entire bathroom now smells of tuberose
Diptyque makes such nice soaps…are you happy with the calendar so far?
Yes! Handwashing is a luxury with them.
I am quite pleased with the haul so far! It’s definitely a treat considering the price, but having the sampler candles has been fun — my home is fragrant everyday now ^^
Good, glad it is fun.
Watching World Cup ⚽️
Drinking Mary Shelley’s Green Tea Blend from Simpson & Vail
Wearing one spritz of Wood Sage & Sea Salt and one of Blackberry & Bay. Anyone have a favorite JM layering combination ?
Funny story. I sent a slack message to the staff at work this morning about “rooting for Georgia” and someone wrote back surprised Georgia had made it to the final 16!
There’s a lot going on today.
😮
It was quite a finish, apparently! I was working
Very happy. Both teams were equally matched
Jo Malone sent me down the rabbit hole years ago. I really like using the Orange Blossom body cream with Vintage Gardenia perfume. Other combinations have included Orange Blossom with Blackberry & Bay, Wood Sage & Sea Salt with Peony and Blush Suede, Nectarine Blossom & Honey with English Pear & Freesia. Just some ideas.
Love the ideas! Thank you so much
Do you have a favorite out of the line?
The old Vintage Gardenia Cologne was one of my favorites and always wore the Orange Blossom Body Cream with it. I believe they make Vintage Gardenia again, but don’t know if it smells the same. I haven’t worn any of the fragrances for probably a 6 months to a year. Just started trying so many other perfume houses.
Glad to hear it sounds like you’re feeling human again, Robin. Sad about Kirstie Alley. I didn’t get to watch her in Cheers very much, but enjoyed Veronica’s Closet. I had forgotten she was in DWTS. No SOTD yet. Will have to save Cuir Beluga for Friday (or maybe I’ll just wear it all week!).
I did not see her in Cheers much either, or really anything, but fame was different then and I very much knew who she was.
Joining SheriG – “Oh yay, we have a scented Robin!” I’m very glad that you’re feeling better.
Leather and violets – I’m in Jolie Madame. And jolie it is!
Love Jolie Madame, you smell great!
😊
Smelling great in Jolie Madame!
Thank you, Gail!
Thanks allo!
Leather isn’t typically a category I’m drawn to, so I’m looking forward to getting good ideas from all of you.
I’m trying Maison Rebatchi Cuir Tassali today. My initial impression was “too leathery”, but it’s faded into something slightly more floral and tea-tinged.
The kid woke up at 4:30 coughing, but he was otherwise fine and begged to go to school, and we let him. Bad parenting? Maybe, but we’re feeling the pressure to be at work and get things done.
I’m not drawn to leather either but did a search on fragrantica and found that I actually have a few options for Friday.
Thanks for the tip; I just did a quick scroll and came up with a few options.
Great!😀
My daughter woke up with a stuffy nose and begged to not go to school. Lol. I sent her anyway. We can be bad parent twins!
Sometimes they just have to go!
Very glad you are feeling well enough to wear fragrance again, Robin – your flu bout sounds horrendous. I can sympathise – annual almost festive season London trip happened after not doing so for 2 years due to pandemic – had a fab time, though something not quite right on our final day, last Monday. By the time flight landed in Aberdeen (Scotland, not WA or SD!) I was feeling quite unwell which developed into horrible head cold which left me completely wiped out for a week! Am much better now & hope your recovery comes on in leaps & bounds.
How was Scotland? That is on my bucket list
There is something going around 🦠 Rest up
I live in Scotland, in Aberdeen, I was visiting London. I am duly rested, thank you, & pretty much back to my usual self.
Glad you are feeling better. I used to have a little circuit when I lived in Aberdeen. I’d start at a wonderful old fishing tackle shop ( purely curiosity) on Thistle St, then the art gallery to look at my favourite Ben Nicholson painting and end up at The Wild Boar on Belmont St. I was looking for work at the time ( ended up in Glasgow) so it was a mixture of entertainment and looking for warmth during a cold winter. Back in 89-90 so probably a lot of change.
Thank you, much better now. Oh my goodness re your Aberdeen ‘circuit’! I don’t remember a fishing tackle shop in Thistle St – I have lived here on & off, mainly on, for many years – the art gallery has undergone a much discussed & argued over refurb – but The Wild Boar is still alive & kicking (so to speak) although no longer an independent business – has been taken over by McGinty’s Group, which owns about a dozen pubs/bars/restaurants here, though that company may have come to be long after your time here. Huge changes here indeed, we no longer have a department store in the city (I don’t count M&S!), which is shocking, & of course many national chains have either closed down completely or closed stores in certain cities & towns, & Aberdeen tends to be at the top of their respective lists! We do thankfully still have up & coming & already successful independent small businesses of various sorts, which is my preference.
Oh drat, but at least it was the last day of the trip?
Yes, thankfully, Robin, it was indeed the last day of our trip so no real harm done.
Oh good.
So many people are getting sick this fall! It’s rather unnerving.
Glad to see you are feeling a little better, Robin. Eleven days of the flu is just craziness.
I’m wearing an old favorite, Parfums Rosine Rose d’Homme, a lovely rose/leather combo. I think I can do a week of leather scents too, so I’m having fun digging through my collection.
It is beyond crazy. Then again, maybe I am lucky that I’ve never had such a bad flu before?
Hopefully you never will again! I had a six week bout with bronchitis a few years ago that I thought might do me in. So glad you’ve turned the corner!
I hope that it is “just” the flu, and not pneumonia. Have you been checked for that Robin?
No, but I have looked carefully at the symptoms, more than once. I don’t think I have pneumonia (no shortness of breath // breathlessness, no chest pain when I take a deep breath, no loss of appetite, my blood oxygen is ok, fever & chills & headache are gone). At this point I am mostly low energy, some lingering cough, and the most annoying symptom — I do feel sweaty in the mornings for a few hours even though my temperature is normal.
And although I am low energy, it is not as bad as it was when I had covid in September.
But if I am not better by next week I will call my doctor and ask to be tested.
Drained the last of Cassili from a travel spray, which I think I got from Lillyjo. Enjoyed it, but no need for a FB.
Best kind of thunk.
L’Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme, one of my mainstays. Lots of patchouli but not overbearing. Extraordinary well-made. It always puts me in a good mood.
You smell great!
CP-compliant today in Bulgari Eau Parfumée au Thé Noir. Shouldn’t have a problem filling a week of leather.
St. Nikolaus came and went this morning, and now I’m sitting through a day of rah-rah “isn’t our company great” all-staff meetings, two weeks after a large redundancy. Not feeling it. Oh well, the nice thing about doing these remotely is that I can roll my eyes all I want and NO ONE will know.
Need more coffee.
I feel that eye roll! Lol! So understand and wish I was back to remote work. At least I don’t have to really look people in the eye as they dole out the BS. Hope the rah-rah session is short if not sweet…
And probably the eye roll is more general than anyone would guess.
Those meetings are universally despised by everyone I know who has ever experienced one. Yuck.
Yep. I know my peeps who are also rolling their eyes, although unfortunately they do not include my new boss, who is always SO POSITIVE about everything. Three more days of this. And every day I have to show up at 3 p.m. for a designated team game, and I have to be SO HAPPY! Sigh.
I’m testing an interesting local perfume called Eau de Dagg. This is made from distilled sheep daggs to smell like a woolshed, a smell I love. So, daggs are the pieces from the sheep’s fleece that typical come from around the sheep’s bottom so are ‘daggy’ with a bit of poo, which is also quite grassy like horse poo. The scent starts very strong, straight out sheep s@#$, but then becomes more spicy caramelised like the pieces of ambergris I once smelled. With a hint of grass. It’s intended more as a room spray but it’s nice after a while. Probably not a good scent for a crowded bus, concert, or luncheon…but it does have that warmth of oily wool and is quite lovely.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/the-country/news/nadia-lim-and-carlos-bagrie-launch-eau-de-dagg-fragrance-for-a-good-cause/THOCEAYWMZG3POZ6EGLC2Q5HLI/
Oops, my response went below!
I am fascinated by this — would be interesting to smell. I love sheep.
Oh boy — could probably make this a hit in hand spinning / spinner’s flock community here in the U.S. (We seem to call them “poo tags,” but then again, I have never skirted a fleece, myself, so I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the folks here who do, call them “daggs.”)
So…is it supposed to evoke ram fleece? Or something gentler like a ewe or a wether? 😁
It’s more likely a ewe or wether as rams don’t tend to be left entire for long, except for breeding. Most of our sheep are also tailed. There isn’t that musty, urine smell but more grassy manure. A lot like a natural, home spun jersey
Thank you so much for the link, that is fascinating.
Interesting.
I’m in Shalimar Light, which is indeed light. I should have been more heavy handed with it. Oh well, I’ll re-up when I get home. I do prefer this to the Philtre. But that’s just like my opinion.
I opted for tea instead of a latte yesterday and I think I ended up with a (lack of) caffeine headache which lasted all day, overnight, and still there this morning. Guess who stopped for a latte on the way to work?😈 That plus one Advil and one Tylenol did the trick.
Free holiday luncheon at work today!😋🎄
Yum to free food!
I know, right?! It was actually pretty delicious. Wherever they got it catered from did a good job.
By my lights, you need 2-3 cups of strong tea to equal a latte.
Ah, that’s where I went wrong. I have a single cup regardless of what it is.
Bletch for the caffeine withdrawal headache! Those suck!
I know! Luckily it went away and has stayed away!
That sounds quite…interesting. And thank you for educating me on what daggs are- had no idea!
Sorry. Meant for Kanuka.
You can also use ‘dagg’ as a term of endearment. If someone is a ‘bit of a dagg’ they are a bit goofy, funny and sweet, salt of the earth type. You can also dress in ‘daggy’ clothes…usually something like a well-worn jersey or flannel shirt, jeans and work boots or sneakers.
Also , just remembered, ‘rattle your dags’ …means hurry up, get a move on. Out of here.
Love these bits of language info.
Like a much earthier version of “shake a leg”. I have another expression that would fit, but it’s not NST-safe.
Ha! I’m gonna use these on my kids.😆 Thanks!
Jumped into the same flannel shirt as yesterday and it smelled so good, I was very tempted to respray Shalimar MT, but went with Cuir de Lancôme instead. Not my favorite leather, but it’ll do.
The sky is a gravid opaque gray and looks like snow to me but the weather forecast doesn’t call for it. Scorching coffee and the last heel of sourdough for breakfast. Let’s see what today brings…
Robin, happy to hear you’re feeling well enough to wear perfume. Keep pushing those fluids and resting and you’ll be right as rain! The teapot is lovely but I had to laugh at the price! 😂
You smell incredible, Deva. I LOVE Cuir de Lancôme. It was my first leather. I wish it were easier to find.
If you’re in need, just email me. I have a FB and I rarely wear it. Happy to send you some if you’re not able to find it. Taiga101 in the land of yahooligans. Cheers!
The teapot is crazy spendy, sorry, and frankly chosen just for the leather handle.
I am being very careful with the fluids, thanks!
I realized i don’t have lots of leather perfumes. I will keep them for the upcoming days.
I am wearing Vintage Mitsouko edc .
Don’t feel compelled to wear a note you don’t love!
Bottega Veneta today! Haven’t worn it in months. I like it, but probably won’t repurchase. I did get a compliment on it from a friend.
Welcome back to fragrance world, Robin!
One of my favorites. You smell really good.
Thank you!
Seconding lizbee!
RIP Kirstie. It is so weird I was talking about my colonoscopy yesterday and then to hear she had colon cancer. I had an acquaintance that died from that a few years ago. She died shortly after diagnosis as well.
SOTD is FM Iris Poudre.
Oh, and I did see cancer but not colon cancer. How sad.
That’s kind of a creepy coincidence.
On a tonka kick of late and wearing Wicked Good today…haven’t worn this one in a while and I had forgotten just how good it truly is.
Special thanks to hajusuuri who ever-so-kindly gifted me a travel spray when it first came out. 🥰
Glad Robin, springpansy, cazaubon and LTSG are all feeling better and anyone else I may have missed.♥️
I put a vulgar amount of samples in my Luckyscent cart last night before bed but will need to pare it down before I actually pull the trigger.
Has anyone sniffed Tonka Bodykon yet?
Thanks, She-ra! (Tonka Bodykon is in my LS shopping cart, too.)
Do report back on Tonka Bodykon if you end up sampling. The name bothers me, but I’m intrigued. I think Persolaise had a quick review of it on his youtube channel, go check it out.
Pierre has some weird names for his fragrances! I don’t know if they sound funny to us because we are American or if he just likes funky names.
Thank you! You smell great. I ordered the Tonka Bodykon and was underwhelmed. You are welcome to my sample.
Wicked Good is … wicked good 🤣
Hello everyone! I’m in Heeley’s Cuir Pleine Fleur. It’s quite nice, but I’ve recently realized that I’m just not particularly interested in wearing leather perfumes these days. Let’s see what the rest of the week brings!
Seriously, then don’t! Life is too short to wear annoying perfumes.
Yep! Glad you’re feeling better!
Gotta go with the perfume that moves you! Especially with the hectic and crazy this part of the year brings.
Absolutely! I love the holidays but there sure is a lot going on!
Good morning, it’s been a hectic few days at work, which is ongoing, so I’m racing by to say I’m wearing Ashoka from Neela Vermeire. It has a slight leather note.
Hope things calm down Gaynor!
Checking in to read everyone’s choices and pick up a few CP points in Atelier Oud Sapphir. I sure do get a note that seems like Oud to me but many Fragrantica reviewers don’t. I almost rate it a love but it would not make it onto a desert island. It has my favorite quality of creating a scent bubble that stays with me for hours and hours.
“Scent bubble” sounds quite protective to me!
OS is that kind of comforting scent! Also, correction: Oud Saphir is the right spelling.
I think I tried that one and found it rather lovely, but not $$$$$$$$ lovely.
I unearthed Cuir de Lancome where it was hiding behind my decant collection. Have now put it right n front so I won’t overlook it again.
It sounds lovely, from the various reports here. Have never smelled it, though.
I’m in Atelier des Ors Noir by Night
👋🏻 lucasai!
I was going to wear a leather, was debating in front of the perfume cabinet but reached for Worth Dans la Nuit which I hardly ever wear, like perfumes from that era it has a ton of notes but it registers as quite sweet but animalic sweet, and quite powdery but tonight I am in Miller Harris La Fumée Maroc, a long discontinued flanker of La Fumée but thankfully without cumin, instead it has fruit, it reminds a lot of a sweeter Timbuktu as the incense in both is very similar, anyway I’m enjoying it quite a bit, it’s probably my favorite MH with l’Air de rein.
*rien
You smell lovely!
Thank you Cazaubon, Miller Harris doesn’t get enough love, I think.
I think you are the first person I know of to have ever mentioned La Fumee Maroc. I saw a bottle of that a while back on one of the discounter’s websites but decided against that blind buy.
It would be a safe blind buy I think, if you would like a sweeter Timbuktu.
Oh no, Kirstie Alley. That makes me sad.
I am CP compliant in Jacomo Art Collection #02. I’ve been ambivalent about this fragrance – tried to swap, decided I like it, no I don’t, etc. But in the end, I’ll keep it. It’s very unique and (today, anyway) I’m finding it fun and very pleasant. It goes with my alter ego who would be a free-spirited and successful artist living in a little beach cottage in SoCal and making incredible paintings. (Not even remotely my life.) Top notes of bergamot, a heart of lily and Tonka, and a base of vanilla, suede, amber and patchouli.
A pleasant perfume is an under-rated companion sometimes.
Woot, glad to see you’re on the mend and a wearing a little perfume, Robin!
I’m in the gorgeous Cuir de Lancome today, which I don’t pull out often enough. I love how subtle and unobtrusive it is. So easy to wear. A change of pace from yesterday’s Estee Lauder Azuree (which also happened to be a sample thunk). Leather and suede all week is an easy and enjoyable theme for me!
You smell great 😊
Thanks, lizbee. 😀
Two excellent perfume picks from you!
Thanks!
So glad to hear you’re feeling better, Robin! And thanks to you and Jalapeno for your cough remedies yesterday.
I too am feeling better today. I have a slight headache, but much less “gunk” is coming out of me. Argh, sorry to be gross!
Wearing Shalimar Philtre today, because madtowngirl wore it yesterday and I really wanted something comforting and easy today.
Glad you are starting to feel better!
Colds and the flu are not pretty to begin with. No worries about the gross stuff. We’ve all been there at some point, right?
Yay! Are you a Shalimar fan? I am *not* although I happen to have 3 different iterations on hand, lol. The MVP is my favorite.
I am a Shalimar fan, although I’ll admit I don’t own any of the original right now, but I have a LOT of flankers. MVP is probably tied for favorite with Shalimar Light, or maybe the Eau de Cologne? Gosh, it’s hard to pick a favorite. I love Philtre so much too.
😀 I’m in Shalimar Light today!
Hi NSTers. It’s been ages since I last posted but I lurk daily. I love to see what everyone is wearing. Robin, so glad you’re better.
I’m in the lovely Violette Volynka, which I received from the splitmeet and love ❤️
Nice to hear from you, lizbee!
Hello again!
Yay welcome back! I wore VV yesterday, so glad you are still enjoying it!
Rihanna Rogue for me today, from a tiny, tiny bottle, probably 5mls. Definitely some suede in here, and some sweetness.
Rogue is really nice! I don’t see a resemblance to Bottega Veneta, though a lot of people on Fragrantica seem to.
I don’t see it either. BV is richer, and doesn’t have the overt sweetness of Rogue.
I get zero sweet with BV. It’s up there with SSS Incense Pure and EL Azuree for dry to my nose.
Wow, that’s so odd! Noses are always interesting. 🤔
I forgot about leather week and wore Golestan. Will have a spritz of Violette Volynka later.
How do you like Golestan?
I love it, it smells like a Tauer floral with rich jasmine, tuberose and rose.
Thank you!
It reminds me, in the end, a lot of Sotto la Luna Tuberose. Clearly has the Tauer base, with florals. It’s nice, but I have a FB of the Tuberose so I don’t see myself buying a FB of Golestan.
What jalapeño asked ⬆️. Inquiring minds want to know!
I think it’s great, clasdic Tauer floral.
I’m in just a wee spray of Chanel Le Lion, which I thought had leather. I’m not crazy about how it smells at first but like it much more after a few hours.
Today I went shopping at a British import store for some Anglophile friends. I bought some very fancy shaving cream and tried on about five of the matching colognes, so I now smell like a well-heeled gentleman of Mayfair. I also bought fancy tea and tea cookies/biscuits. I don’t drink tea and they had so many varieties and brands and packages, I was wishing I’d paid more attention to what all of you tea-drinkers here on NST love. Let’s hope for the best–they’ll appreciate the thought at least.
Ha! I too am always wishing I paid more attention to all the wonderful teas that get a mention here! I’m a dedicated morning coffee person, but when the cold weather arrives, I often want some tea during the latter part of the day!
Ditto this! Love a nice hot cuppa on chilly evenings, especially herbal teas with a drizzle of honey added. ☕️
Ooh that sounds fun! What colognes did they have?
I had thought of Le Lion as a leather scent when I first smelt it on a ceramic blotter at Chanel, but on skin I didn’t get as much of the leathery notes — it is more amber on me.
I’m a huge drinker and enjoy PG Tips. Nothing fancy, but a nice, reliable black tea
Huzzah for feeling well enough for perfume today Robin! That’s awesome!
Love the teapot today; cute, cute, cute!
Rainy and super gloomy here today. Not a fan of cold winter rain, but it seems that my area needs the precip. Currently about 3 – 4 inches shy of average, so every bit helps. But it makes taking out the recyclables rather unpleasant.
SOTD = Smell Bent Bohemian Rhapsody EdT, from The Sample Stash. Cola and incense, anyone? I meant to do a leather scent today and got distracted.
I have to start looking for leather scents to match my Countdown Calendar ornaments!
I went into the office today and wouldn’t you know it, two packages got delivered at home 😡. I will let the packages time to dry out before I open them.
Oh no! Drenched packages are a Bad Thing. Hope the contents weren’t water sensitive. 😡😖
Gloomy weather twin! One of my local friends said “I think I am solar-powered” as we commiserated on the gloomy feelings we’ve been having. Bury my nose in a book is a good defense! Oh, and cola and incense sounds wonderful.
I had some sunny weather earlier this week, but it was chilly. Looks like the weather is oscillating between warm & squishy or sunny & chilly/cold.
Gloomy day twins, but the rain arrived much later in the day than expected. I think I don’t like a cola note, but maybe mixed with incense?
It’s an oddly compatible combination, IMO.
Oh man, cola and incense sounds fantastic! So sad they are closed down.
So far, two of the incense perfumes I have tried from my sample pack have had either cola or root beer notes. And they are quite realistic!
Which ones?
SB Incensed = intense root beer & incense
SB TEN = root beer & incense
SB Bohemian Rhapsody = cola & incense
Cola and incense, yes, please! And second what MossyBerry said above (being solar-powered). But that doesn’t work too well here in Seattle during the winter.
Being solar-powered doesn’t work so well in NJ during the winter either. The blinding sunny & snowy days of Colorado are definitely in my past… 😎
Robin, glad you are feeling better!
SOTD = Sonoma Scent Studio Forest Walk
Resinous, earthy amber. Love it! And I matched the S in Six to the line!

Did I mention that someone pointed me to place on our floor where I can have all the snacks and drinks I want? All free? It is dangerous knowledge. While the idea of getting something for nothing is very tempting, I highly doubt that I will return to partake – it feels wrong.
We had had a snack drawer at my last job, too (no beverages, alas).
It was called “the trough.” 😂
This was a pantry full of “company-paid” stuff…there were full trays of packaged snacks and the drinks fridge is just like a vending fridge except you can just reach in and take whatever you want. 😩
We have a “caring cupboard” at my work. It doesn’t get filled consistently though.
When I worked in our Jersey City office, I used to bring the snacks, with contributions from co-workers, and our section was called the Snack Center.
A ‘snack closet’ is definitely dangerous knowledge! It’s also an easy way to pack on unwanted poundage.
This is why I am probably never going back there again.
Just got back from an appointment with an ortho surgeon about knee replacement. I wore Bottega Venetia, so I get CP points.
The day just became too hectic.
I wore L’ombre dans L’Eau just because I wanted to smell pretty.
Smelling pretty is the perfect way to deal with a hectic day. 🥰
I think you smell perfect!
