Miss Dior Original and Other Stuff

 

It's been a strange couple weeks for me. My mother spent a week with her friend when I was on vacation and has been in the hospital for a week and half and mucked up quite a few things.

As it stands, I have broken up with Bath and Body Works and candles. In regards to Bath and Body Works, they have gotten too expensive and the quality has gone down. I pretty much have stopped burning candles for a few reasons. I do still like burning candles but it has led to too many arguments with others in my household cans killed a lot of the love that I had for making the house I live in good. Even my liking has diminished at this point. It has gotten to the point of seriously just selling off at least 90% of my candle collection. I am none to wealthy and I would rather try to make some of that money back instead of donating or throwing it out.

It just seems like my love for smelling good and making my general area has been diminished. It's everything is too strong or smells strange. So the joy of a lot of things has been taken out and I am having a hard time with that. Reading doesn't hold my attention like it used to and I kind of blame the internet for that. So I am trying to get back into video games at least.

But I was rummaging around my extensive perfume collection, trying to find what I haven't worn in a while and found my vintage bottles of the original Miss Dior. One is a splash bottle of the edt and the other is a spray bottle of the edc. I was starting to flip out a little bit when I unscrewed the cap of the edt. It smelled like straight up alcohol and nothing else. So I wasn't so interested in wearing that since I was about to go and visit my mother and I put on some of the edc. The edc hasn't gone off and maybe it is because it is a spray bottle and when I bought it, and that means it will be less likely to be tampered with. But when I came home, I put a q-tip in and the q tip sit out for a couple minutes, hoping that the perfume hadn't gone bad. And the good news is that the perfume hasn't gone bad, it just needs a few minutes.

I don't have a bottle of the original Miss Dior and I am kicking myself for not getting a bottle when times were better. There are a few perfumes that I am kicking myself for not getting a bottle when I had the chance. I did have a close shave with L'Heure de Nuit though, even though I haven't opened the bottle yet. I just love looking at the bee bottle with the blue juice in it.

Lotion Season

In the northern hemisphere, we all know winter is on it's way. Even though fall has just started and all, the preparation for winter is going to be starting up soon enough.

Even though it is fall, it's cooler out and the days are shorter. And that means my whole skin care routine is changing as well. It's not just for the skin on my face that is starting to need the extra help in fall, it's the skin all over that is needing the extra help in general.

Outside of groceries, I have been working on stocking up on lotion. It doesn't matter if it is hand lotion or body lotion, I am stocking up on it. I haven't been motivated to spend money on the Chanel lotions or tracking down any kind of Amouage body products. I kind of need groceries a little more than Amouage or Chanel lotions. Lush is a little more of an okay thing since they do have smaller sizes at a more reasonable cost but that isn't something I would get very often. I am looking at maybe getting more of the Sleepy line up.

What I have stocked up on is the Cerave lotions because even in summer, my skin is dry and winter is even worse. I did get a couple L'Occitane hand lotions for work and to keep in my pocket while I am at work. But I go for the lotions that won't interfere with my perfume collection too much.
