Happy May 1st to all!
Today has been spent cleaning and re-arranging. This morning, I announced to B-man, 'I'm going downstairs to work on stripping the wallpaper' (he has been working on a room and will have it done shortly).
'You don't know how to work the steamer,' he said.
'Well, maybe you could teach me, or I could read the instructions and figure it out.'
Silence, hand to forehead and a large sigh.
'If you're feeling that energetic, how about you work on the Smellie Room instead and find a place for everything we have accumulated so we can do that room next?'
Good counterpoint.
So I organized the Smellie Room and, in the process, discovered some killer perfume layering combos (call it multi-tasking):
L'Heure Bleue/ Hiris
Sycomore/Demeter Dirt
Calvin Klein Truth/ Safari
Tea Rose/Tocade
Actually, it's been a really good perfume weekend.
Yesterday, at TJ Maxx, I bought a bottle (cheaply, of course) of Cabochard Rose, a fun, fruity floral perfume. I put it on after showering, before Champagne Sunday, and B-man said, 'OMG, you smell soooo good!'
I do, too.

I'm going to try those last two combos this week!
ReplyDeleteI just tried Tea Rose + Tocade. Yum! Tocade by itself has never really done it for me but the extra hit of rose makes it a winner.
ReplyDeleteTea Rose is like the Universal Donor of perfumes.
Hi Elisa - I'm glad you tried the Tea Rose/Tocade combo! Like you, Tocade has always been just a bit too...much of something for me to truly enjoy. Tea Rose gives it a much needed lift, while Tocade ups the lasting power.
ReplyDeleteThe 'Universal Donor of perfumes.' So true, although Hiris is right up there, too.
