What do you like to wear?

For the longest time I couldn't find a perfume I really loved. I was using Victoria's Secret Pink body spray which was nice but it didn't last very long, since most body sprays don't. They're cheap though so whatever.

Then I got a sample of Fergie "Outspoken" from Avon. It was nice, a little more suited for fall/winter or night time but still not bad.

The last few times I was in Sephora I had been asking for a few perfume samples and asking for recommendations for pretty, girlie floral perfumes. So the first four testers were:

Lola by Marc Jacobs - it was okay, not the best

Blue Water - Dolce and Gabbana - apparently popular but did nothing for me

Miss Dior - Dior - it was good at first but after the first scent layer wore off the underlying scent wasn't that spectacular

Princess - Vera Wang - winner! pretty, floral, girlie, and the scent didn't change to something else.

So one the last trips to Sephora I bought a bottle of Vera Wang "Princess" and asked for two more perfume samples and I think I may have found two more winners.

Daisy - Marc Jacobs - another pretty floral perfume that still smells pretty hours later

Poppy (purple) - Coach - still on the fence about this one. I think it may be another good one but I'm going to keep testing it in a few days and see how I like it.

The lady behind the counter also tossed in a sample of Hello Kitty "Big Pink Bow" which smells like it has potential.

Also..I found that Sephora has roll-on perfumes of some of their more popular fragrances for only $20. Some of the scents I've mentioned are available in a roll-on so if you don't or can't shell out for a regular bottle of perfume there's always this. Plus they're small enough to fit in your purse. bonus!

I may expand and try a fruity fragrance next, like DKNY BeDelicious.

Still haven't found a fresh fragrance that I like but it may be that it's just not my style, much like some of the heavier woody or oriental fragrances that are more suited for night time.

"Obsession" by Calvin Kline

Navy

"Woman" by Versace. My all time fav. I think that they don't make it anymore. I have a full bottle of it but it's 1200 miles away (in San Diego). Good thing my wife doesn't like it!

My fav is Oscar. It's intoxicating. I gave it to my mate, she makes me melt with it on.

I am buying her more for my birthday.

Still searching for the one for me. Thanks for the ideas!

Love, Megan

Bond no. 9 has a couple of scents that I have really come to love. The Chinatown is friggin' amazing, and it smells like nothing else so you get the unique factor. The Bond no.9 perfume (that's the actual name) is also really nice. Toki Doki has a scent stick called Donutella that is another favorite of mine, the sticks are not as strong as a liquid fragrance in the beginning, but seem to last so much longer.

There is a girl at work that wears the Patchouli, and I can smell her coming even through an industrial refrigeration cooler. One sniff, and I know Claire's coming.

I really feel bad you can't smell, does it affect your taste at all?

I currently have acqua di gio by giorgio armani, I plan on picking up a bottle of Purr by Katy Perry. The armani stuff is light I think it was described to me as a summer beach house on the mediterranean. I like it. Very clean and fresh smelling and not over powering. The Katy Perry stuff is fantastic for a night out. I think both are great any time of the year.

I like to change a lot. have been to Sephora and I did like the Princess Girly aroma. I usually will start shopping when the perfume de jur is getting low. It, at least to me, is like looking for a great pair of shoes. and I like the change.

      What do you do when you feel triggered?
    • Heather Shay

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.

      The numbers of those negatively affected are significant and discouraging, but the good news is that "over half" of Trans youth live in safe states, and such states do exist.

      Seems like a reasonable agreement.  Seattle stays out of Texas, Texas stays out of Seattle.  Weird that the Seattle hospital had a business license in Texas...

      Seems to me the time and cost is already being spent....on lawsuits.  And schools are absolutely flush with cash, at least around here.  They get enough property taxes, they need to learn appropriate use of funds.  Buy a few less computers and a few more bathrooms, and spend less time on athletics and I'd bet you a hamburger that the issue would be solved in a year.   To me, it seems like the whole bathroom thing is like lancing a boil or a cyst.  A sharp initial pain, and done. People are just resistant to doing it.      I think I could solve most of it...but politicians get too much press off of this to want it solved.   1.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private bathrooms 2.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private spaces for changing athletic clothes 3.  Emphasize co-ed rather than gendered sports.  Focus on physical activity, good sportsmanship, and having FUN.  Lifelong enjoyment, not just competition. 4.  Ban for-profit athletic programs at highschool and college levels, and ban betting/gambling related to athletic programs at educational institutions. 5.  Affirm parental rights consistently, rather than treating it like a salad bar.  That means permitting gender-affirming healthcare with parental consent, AND prohibiting schools keeping secrets from parents.  Adopt the "paperwork principle."  If it is on paper, parents 100% have a right to know about it and be informed on paper, including names/pronouns if such are documented.  If it is verbal only, it is informal enough to be overlooked or discussed verbally if needed.
