evile been abusing the plastic a bit.....it's one of my depressive coping mechanisms. not great.
I ordered some wax melts from Bewilderment. Their marketing and naming conventions are funny and fun, their actual product is a little weak. Nothing terrible, and their petrichor is dead-on when you smell the wax directly but not a lot of 'throw', it doesn't spread too far from the wax warmer.
I got: Grey Sweatpants, Petrichor, Dragon Breath, Bedtime Goddess and Fuck Ice. Funny enough Fuck Ice seems to be a dupe for Scentsy "Eskimo Kisses" which was rebranded to "Polar Bear Hug" when it turned out 'Eskimo' is a slur...
The house is smelling a little better these days, anyway. Housemate Sam has paused her apartment hunting due to a flare up of 'ankylosing spondylitis' which in Sam speak is "my eyes are red and inflamed and I'm sure it has nothing to do with smoking mj and living in a small room with two catboxes 23 hours a day'...but whatever.
I have a 2nd interview tomorrow for a well paying part time job that will get me out of the house and have some money coming in. Plus a recruiter called for another part time job that I could do along with the other one for a total of 40 hrs. And I got a request for yet another canned video interview with a place up the street where I've applied several times, gotten a few interviews, but have not yet managed to haul my carcass across the finish line. 34th times a charm!! honestly, full time work may not be what I want anymore. But I'm keeping all options on the table until I have an actual offer and an actual job.
And today I got an order in from Olympic Orchids. Someone on reddit had recommended Mardi Gras (Orange blossom, neroli, cistus, benzoin, vanilla, civet, special musk blend.). I just put it on. It's...a lot. I am not yet sure if I like it or not. I got the 5 ml travel spray because I was so sure I'd love it...eeeee. we'll see if it settles down.
I got a sample of Kyphi : frankincense, myrrh, benzoin, labdanum, beeswax, spikenard, henna, lemongrass, wild orange, calamus, cassia, cyperus, saffron, juniper berry, and spices. (I will probably like this one best), a sample of California Chocolate, wild orange, grapefruit, yuzu, white cognac, neroli, dark chocolate, patchouli, gourmand musk, and Bourbon vanilla. and they sent me a free sample of Carolina. Scent notes: longleaf pine, hay absolute, magnolia, kudzu flower, tea, honeysuckle, star jasmine, vanilla, tonka, and tobacco leaf.-- pretty sure I'm not going to like that one.
anyhoooooooo
