I got some packages today!
- yhlee sent me a bunch of BPAL and I am so, so very here for like everything in it! :D So, so pleased
- I got a water bottle from my mom (I think).
- I got a package with tea and sweets but I'm not entirely sure who it's from. Hopefully, I can get help reading the info when people get home.

I also managed to knock out the boxes at the bottom of the stairs yesterday and have (mostly) been keeping up with the dishes. I also got rid of some stuff that was sitting around int he living room and sorted through some boxes that I need to now move upstairs.

Today is hopefully going to be a 'take care of all the clean laundry' day but we'll see if I can manage it.

Oh, and I need to cook chicken today but I know what I'm doing with that, so it shouldn't betoo hard to accomplish once I get that started.

Smells as stim toys = yes

Ooh! Which BPAL's did you get? I bought myself Svarta Phonix Bokaflód, the one that smells like bookstores, for xmas. I still need to put it on my spreadsheet.

I am starting to mix essential oil perfumes for people, and it is SUCH FUN!

The labels are all too small for me to read. At some point, I should take pictures so I can zoom in and read them.

Ooooh, I really, really want to learn how to do that. I've been meaning to look into that for at least a year now.

ohh nice! I am very low on my perfume oils atm so it might be time to make an order. There's a couple nice stores on etsy (of course) as well! what are your favourite sort of scents?

[tomakeanoffer]

*flails* Oh yes, give me all the recs!

I love I love foody, woodsy, spicy, incensey and really, just everything but overly flowery/fruity and even then, I make exceptions for citrusy stuff.

Have you tried ZOMG Smells or Nocturne Alchemy?

They both do sublime perfume oils. Nocturne tends more toward the incense and woods side of the force, ZOMG is designed for nerds and is all over the map, but their foody stuff is to die for AND they do custom blends.

Ooooh awesome, I'd love to know what BPAL you got! I'm constantly on the look-out for a second hand bottle of Crowley ever since mine ran out. Shipping from their site to the UK is more expensive than the perfume, so I'm reluctant to buy from them direct lmao.

I will try and make a list when A gets home again. I have a lot of scents, it's kind of a thing for me, and Y only enabled me into having even more.

I really like Alkemia! I haven't tried at many as I would like, as shipping can get pretty intense. I love Salome & La Belle Époque.

I tend to like woodsy, incensey, floral, musky scents!

I haven't I'm afraid though I have heard of the latter.

And from your recommendation they sound precisely like the sort of scents I like! :) I may be buying myself a present soon ^^
