Now that I finally have a beautiful place to store my fragrances I thought I'd share it with you! Half the fun of fragrances for me is both wearing and admiring them, and seeing them displayed like this every day brings me so much joy. (In case anyone wants to know, shelf and vines from Target, 3-section organizer from Marshall's, glass dish and mini cups from Daiso. Side note, sake cups are perfect for organizing/displaying mini fragrance samples, lol).
A bit about my fragrance journey: I used to think that I didn't like perfume at all when I was younger, but it turns out that I just didn't like any of the ones I had smelled up to that point - that has changed immensely in the last three years or so. I have written a post before about loving fragrance but having a bad sense of smell, but I have found sampling many different types of fragrances has widened my taste and really helped me develop my sense of smell, for fine perfumes as well as in my daily life. Currently I am focusing on getting through some of the samples I have before I buy any more. I don't think I have a "type" when it comes to fragrances, I'll try anything. I've written a little bit about some of my scents, if you'd like to hear my thoughts or opinions on any of these I'd be happy to write about them!
The grand list:
BOTTLES (L-R):
- Silver Coast by Good Chemistry EdP 1.7oz
- Saint by KVD EdP (discontinued) 3.4oz. This was the first perfume that I remember liking the smell of, and that it kind of surprised me. I used to hate white florals, sweetness, and powder in perfumes, but this fragrance has all those qualities in a way that is delightfully balanced with white woods and the lightest musk, and never overpowering. I got it as a free sample in a Sephora order as a young teenager and it grew on me very quickly. I swooped a big bottle of this lovely juice for extremely cheap on clearance when K*t was finally ousted and I'm so happy that I have it in this way.
- Alien by Mugler (2016) EdP 2oz. So happy I got an authentic bottle of the old Alien, and it was factory sealed at that! Smells magical. Mugler Circle from the official Mugler website verified that this bottle I bought secondhand is indeed authentic and was manufactured in 2016. Plus it's refillable if I ever find an old flacon source. Score!
- So Real by Moschino Cheap and Chic EdT 3.4oz. The favorite comfortable sneakers of my fragrance collection! Clean, fresh, citr
The funeral director was asking us what we think Mum should wear in her casket.
Mum always loved to wear sarongs (fabric wraps that go around the torso and drape downward a bit like a long skirt would), so my uncle suggested that she wear a sarong in there.
The funeral director looked a bit confused, as did some of our family members, to which my uncle added:
"What's sarong with that?"
I started laughing like an idiot. He was proud of it too. The funeral director was rather shocked. We assured her, and our more proper relatives, that Mum would've absolutely loved the joke (which is very true).
His delivery was perfect. I'll never forget the risk he took. We sometimes recall the moment as a way help cushion the blows of the grieving process.
--Edit-- I appreciate the condolences. I'm doing well and the worst is behind me and my family. But thanks :)
--Edit-- Massive thanks for all the awards and kind words. And the puns! Love 'em.

But Bill kept the Windows
True story; it even happened last night. My 5-year-old son walks up behind me and out of the blue says, "hey."
I turn to him and say, "yeah, kiddo? What's up?"
He responds, "it's dead grass."
I'm really confused and trying to figure out what's wrong and what he wants from me. "What? There's dead grass? What's wrong with that?"

He says, totally straight-faced, "hay is dead grass," and runs off.

Because 10+10 is twenty and 11+11 is twenty too..
Edit: thank you for awards, I have never gotten one before. I apologize that this is a repost, I did see it on TikTok and thought that it was cute and wanted to share. In the future I will check the sub for similar content before I post anything.
You officially hit rock bottom
And then you will all be sorry.
