It’s Hump Day and National Bavarian Cream Pie Day. Birthdays: James Agee, Jimi Hendrix, Bill Nye. Plus, Thanksgiving Eve aka Drinksgiving / Blackout Wednesday — be careful out there! What fragrance are you wearing?
I'm in Lalique Encre Noire because SheriG mentioned it over the weekend.
Reminder: on 11/29, pick your Black Friday poison: wear the last fragrance you bought, wear a cheap thrill, or wear a fragrance you love but refuse to buy in a full size because it's too expensive. (We've done this project several times.)
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2024, where I'll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.

I’m wearing a favorite cheap thrill, Rhubarb & Clary Sage by 4711. I’ve loved this for years, emptied a full bottle, bought a refill bottle, and I’ve gone through 1/4 of that. I love it in the spring and summer, but since the highs will be in the 80s today, I decided to wear it anyway.
I get to go back to work next week and not exactly happy about it but I can’t afford to be out of work any longer. Thinking of either Jubilation 25 or maybe Epic today.
Yesterday was a day that I used some of my Ulta rewards points to make a purchase. Got a gift set of Estee Lauder Pleasures and a few other things. Only had to spend $2.00 but still have $300 in rewards left over.
Wearing Pleasures would fit into my 90’s Revlon lipstick I have lol
Oh, darn. I thought you were going to be able to be off over Christmas too. Oh, well at least you got a little time off. Hope you are feeling better after that drain was removed.
Glad you were able to get such a good deal at Ulta and that you pampered yourself after dealing with all of these health issues.
Evan Healy Sweet Blossom organic body oil is my scent of the day. Smells as good as or even better than some of the more expensive body oils and it’s twenty five percent off now for Black Friday ( although I bought it with a birthday gift certificate from my girlfriend back in April)
Saks has 15% off beauty and BG has their beauty gift card…
Today I am in Love Extreme and trying to refrain from pulling the trigger to buy a refill of this. I also really love Liaisons Dangereuses. Also want a refill for Angels Share. Ok..I will stop.
Reading Horse and things have taken off and I am hooked.
When does “Horse” take off? I have tried to read it 2x and put it aside.
Around a page 117…Did you get that far?
No, I never got past page 50. Thanks!
once you get close to 100 pages you should keep a hanky close if you have a fragile heart
Robin, you smell wonderful! I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, so I’ll report now that it was Omnia Ambra yesterday and Bel Ami last night at bedtime. Tried Bel Ami on Mr. G and I liked it on him but he seemed underwhelmed. Oh well — like it better on me anyway, and in these troubled times Bel Ami almost qualifies as a cheap thrill. I can’t detect a whole lot of difference between the vintage mini and the current version other than strength, and the FB acquisition was Black Friday adjacent, so I may go with hajusuuri-style sprays of it for the Friday CP. 😁
SOTD is Indochine.
Making my turkey a day ahead of time this year. I don’t do that very often, but it makes it easier for tomorrow. I guess it is no big deal as it will only be my husband and stepdaughter so it’s not like there will be a crowd. Even for our little group I still make all the typical Thanksgiving food.
We will be a small group this year as well, and we’re having turkey thighs instead of a whole turkey. We’re all dark meat fans anyway.
Don’t think I’ve ever heard of Blackout Wednesday… What’s bass-ackwards concept.🤔
I’m wearing Lann-Ael by Lostmarc’h today from my faithful sample stash. I think I must have ordered this one years ago when I was on the hunt for a dupe for Vanilla Lace. (Never did find one). Anyway, nice enough but not something I’d want a FB of.
Hope all the holiday preppers go about your business today without a hitch in your giddyup. Here’s to wishing your turkey is done to perfection, your mashed potatoes without even a single lump, and your guests in awe of all your mad skilz! Turkey on! 🦃
I’m wearing L’Heure Bleue parfum this morning. It’s gray here but not raining so after I take Bertie Wooster for his Solensia I’ll take a walk.
Hello.
Sotd is LVEB l’Elixir.
I only bought a black forest cake yesterday. But! My uncle will be visiting tomorrow and joining us for Thanksgiving dinner so I asked if he could bring a carrot cake. Ha. I will also be making a sweet potato pie. Gotta eat them veggies right? 😉
Happy drinksgiving everyone! Just kidding. I have to be up at [redacted] for a 5 am flight 🙁 wearing poopoo pidou today so the news isn’t all bad.
I’m wearing another recent purchase (well, actually two years ago, but time passes so quickly that it feels recent), Ormonde Jayne Ta’if.
