Don't tell me I'm the only one who wore Drink Me today? Talk about a feast...it's even got the turkey! (though it always goes straight to spicy pineapple upside down cake on me, not that I'm complaining nom nom nom)

I knew I wouldn't be the only thinking about election day bpal! I meant to put on Harvest Moon 06 because its such a lovely red apple scent (to me)...so kind of apple pie-y and patriotic. But I accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle out of my box and didn't realize it until after I had started slathering. So now I smell like Snake Oil, which is never a bad thing. Also, for the first time ever, I'm decked out a bit patriotically, with a red turtleneck sweater, dark navy denim pencil skirt, navy tights and red patent leather slingbacks. And a necklace that consists of strands of white abalone shells and white beads. And of course my fancy red, white and blue voting sticker to tie it all together. I'm such a dork! At least I didn't layer Rose Red, Antique Lace/Snow White, and Danube together, though the thought crossed my mind this a.m. for a split second...

I love melon scents, so this and Yemaya were the first ones I tried out of my latest order. Unfortunately, I don't get even a hint of honeydew with 51...instead I get the dreaded (at least to me) commercial perfume smell. It's so strong in the imp I seriously had a moment of wondering if someone had poured some department store sample into the vial instead, only because I've never gotten this impression from any bpal. Regular perfume makes me sneezy and headachey, but I have faith in the lab, so I dabbed a little on anyway. That was a little under an hour ago, and now when I sniff my wrist all I get is the faintest hint of soapiness. Sad! It was gone so fast...like a UFO secretly landing in the night and taking off again before anyone can find them. Oh well, I'll hang onto the imp and try it again next Spring when the air starts heating up again. Yemaya, on the other hand....
