My Favorite Perfume

I’m not really a perfume gal but this stuff is like heaven to me. It was taken off the market a few years back and I managed to grab a few bottles online before they all disappeared. Score! That was 4 years ago and now down to my last bottle. For a good long while, I wore it only on special occasions in order to make it last.

Deciding that was living in scarcity, I now put it on pretty regular and am enjoying every moment I have with this glorious scent. It'll run out soon and I'll be sad but this stuff in my soul since I am very olfactory centric. I will never forget how I feel when I spray it on. Aren't memories wonderful?

ps I did find a seller on EBay selling a single 3 oz bottle but it was $280 bucks and I'm not willing to through that down.

    My suggestion: buy a small bottle of jojoba oil (which is still a lot) and a little wee bottle of bergamot essential oil. In a separate tiny bottle, put some jojoba oil and a few (5 or 6 maybe?) drops of the bergamot oil. You'll have to experiment to get the strength of scent that you want. Keep the larger bottle of jojoba oil in the fridge so it doesn't go rancid (it will last you a long time when making your own perfume). Keep the perfumed oil out for easy application. You should be able to get all this stuff at any new age or health food type of store that sells essential oils.

    On a related note, I once seduced a woman using bergamot oil. A good memory.

    I really hate when they stop making something I have grown to love.
    Smell lovely for as long as you can :-)

    It's the same with other things you like too. When it's no longer available, you take your time using what you have because you know the end is near.

    Oh, L'Occitane! They make such wonderful scents. I wonder if there are other retired scent online stores that might be more reasonable -- or even writing to the company itself. Couldn't hurt!

A Journey To Home

My tender hearted girl decided she wanted to foster an old lady. Selkie is 14, is nearly deaf and nearly blind, has a hard time walking and uses her bark to get her needs met.  She got her home, took her for a bath and then basically loved this old girl for three weeks until the property manager decided that it wasn’t a good match (barking too much AND because she is a pit bull).  My girl knew it was probably temporary but she gave that dog a comfortable loving home, away from the chaos of the shelter, for a short time.  Ideally, she would have walked her home but that’s not how it worked this time.  Last night she stood and ugly cried on a strangers shoulder after giving her back.  I love that girl and her sweet heart.  I wish Selkie a new final home full of love.

Private Eye

We pass by the house frequently since it sits on a busy thoroughfare. We know to look every time we pass and guess what will we see. Will it be the two Dalmatians, sitting on the couch that backs up to the giant panel window, waiting for their human to come home? Or will it be their human, sitting slightly to the right of middle (allowing for a better view of the giant mounted tv across the room) of the said couch. They are never there at the same time. It’s one or the other. One sleepless night, when my body was willing but my brain was not, I did a little sleuthing. It’s amazing what you can find out about a complete stranger.   His name is Gary and, from what I can tell, he’s never been married. He has worked his way up in a air duct company. He’s now the senior VP but it’s a small company and he still goes out on jobs, judging from  the reviews on Yelp. I know he has two siblings and that their father passed away in 2018. His memorial was held in a Buddhist temple and Gary...

Go!

 Vai. E, se der medo, vai con medo mesmo. When one is raised in an angry family, it’s not enough to say I don’t want to be angry. You must learn how to do it differently. That’s no easy task. If judgment and self hatred became a way of life, a new way to live has to be taught. There are many ways to do it. Reading, writing, sharing, practicing all help the change. Counseling, psychoanalysis, religion, meditation, gratitude, have the ability to transform but I needed to see it in action, it needed to be more tangible, visual, accessible. I needed to understand the possibilities. There is a YouTube channel that I watch over and over again in order to absorb how to live more fully, more open and from the heart. One of the first episodes that I stumbled on is this…. The channel is Reflections of Life and through it we get to meet people who are doing life a little differently, often more soul based. People who are living life, healing wounds and finding what is truly important.  I...
