Follow Up:

1) I have taken the UPS note down as the delivery I was expecting from them came by Post instead.
2) I have picked up the item that came by Post - Ghost is getting another present this evening. Heeheehee! :-D
3) Laundry has about 15 minutes left on it.
4) I should probably eat something for breakfast.
5) "Hideous Heart" is, unfortunately, all cough syrup on me, and not so much with the subtlies of licorice and cinnamon. "Sweet Death" is milk chocolate all the way (mmm) more subtle than and sweet than, say, the rich brownie scent of "Vice". I like it. It gets a little powdery on dry-down, but I like it. (Inconveniently, I slopped far too much of it onto my wrist arm when I tried it, so I have rather less of it available for future use than I'd have liked. But what can you do?)
6) I'm hoping Smoking Plum (which I'm guessing is a Villainess oil?) works well on me. :-)
7) "Wolf and Scarlet" has been re-sized so that it takes 10 pages exactly (this involved some finegaling with the margins, I admit, but it's in a large, readable font, so I'm happy)
8) I think my toenails are going to be done in Night Blooms.


Time for more tea.


TTFN,
Amazon.


Onwards! :-D
I got home to find perfume in my mail box! YAY! :-D

Not too long ago, I ordered Gourmand (a sample-pack from Villainess which includes half a dozen imp-sized samples of sugar-and-spice type perfumes) from Pretty Indulgent.
YAY! :-D

I've only just taken a whiff of Killer Beez, and it's lovely. I'm hoping that it doesn't turn to baby-powder on me, but in the vial it's sweet and light and hints at things that aught to be licked at and savoured. So that's a good thing. :-)

The rest of the sample pack are:
Decadence
Dulces en Fuego
Jai Mahal (my wee box-in-the-mail also included a sample of Jai Mahal soap, fyi. It's very spicy-smelling)
Crushed
and
Ginger Snapped

Ginger Snapped, not surprisingly, smells like cookies. :-)
The rest are going to have to wait. :-)


In other news: There's aparently a package waiting for me at the post office which, I admit, I didn't bother picking up today (having already been there once to pick up stamps and mail a letter). I suspect it's my bead order. I certainly hope so, as I'm looking forward to finishing "Frost Moon" and getting started on the rest. (I finished Long Nights Moon -- It's rainbow obsidian and rainbow moonstone - the glowing/iridescent version of black-and-white dangling earrings).

Miss Ghost is soaking in the tub (or just finishing). I got her lavender-scented bath salts. She's a big lavender fan, so I figured "Why the hell not?" They're a lot more subtle than the essential oils I've used in the past, I'll give them that much. :-)


Anyway. Onwards with the writing! :-D


TTFN,
Amazon. :-)
I’ve got a box of (mostly) BPAL imps to get rid of.

I seem to recall that Reyl wanted to get his hands on some of them, and we never hooked up to make the exchange

Maybe I just need to have a meet-and-sniff chez moi in the hopes of giving, or ideally trading, away the stuff that doesn’t work for me. Anyone interested?

Nyarlathotep (Reyl has dibs on this one, since he asked for it before)
Laudanum (Reyl has dibs on this one, since he asked for it before)
Dragon’s Hide
Lilith
La Petit Mort
Persephone
Mag Mel
Twilight
Sed Non Satiata
Hetairae
Euphrosyne
Ouija
Morgause


They are sitting in a heart-shaped box on my desk, hoping that someone will love them. :-)


(As a side note: Scents I'd like to try include: Scherezade, Snake Oil, Sudha Segara, Thaleia, Lust, Bengal, Athens, Dorian, Les Bijoux, Saraglio, Voodoo, maybe Bordello, and pretty much anything on the sugar/spice/incense spectrum -- though Amber tends to turn to Baby Powder on me pretty quickly, and Dragon's Blood turns to Burnt Rubber just as fast).

Public Service(?) Announcement: My BPAL trade-away box is getting rather full and I'd like to switch them out for stuff I will (hopefully) actually use. (If you're on BPAL Canada, sorry for making you look at this twice).


As such, I have the following available for trade:

Laudanum
Euphrosyne
Twilight
Morgause
Sed Non Satiata
Nyarlathotep
Persephone
La Petit Mort
Hetairae
Mag Mell
Dragon’s Hide
AND
Ouija



These are all quite full.



Stuff I want to try: Scherezade, Snake Oil, Sudha Segara, Thaleia, Lust, Bengal, Athens, Dorian, Les Bijoux, Saraglio, Voodoo, maybe Bordello.

Basically: Sugar and spice and incense (but not amber[1] as it tends to turn to baby-powder on me). If you’ve got something you’re looking to trade away that fits with the sweet and spicy, let me know.


Bonus Info:
Stuff I’ve liked A LOT in the past: Eat Me, Hecate, Hellcat, and Velvet.
Stuff I've liked and that work but that aren't beloved favourites: Gluttony, Vice, Malice, Penitence, Bastet, Queen of Sheba, Dragon’s Milk (which sometimes goes burnt-rubber on me and sometimes works... Yay Dragon's Blood?)



NOTE: I'm also up for trading in exchange for non-BPAL stuff of a similar nature like Starborn or Villainess (or, heck, Lush) if you have any you're looking to trade away.
Dibs go to people in Ottawa (or who will be in Ottawa in the near future - such as the upcoming Thanks Giving Weekend). But I'm willing to mail stuff if you are, too.


If you're interested, let me know. :-)


- TTFN,
- Amazon. :-)


[1] Which is not to say there’s not a slew of amber-inclusive scents I’d like to try (The Lion, Aglaea, Black Lotus, Sin, Hollywood Babylon, Agrat-Bat-Mahlaht), it's just that they tend not to work. ;-)
