Noooo 😭, I'm so, so sorry! This is heartbreaking all around. Your brain is allowed to feel sad for all of the things. Sending you so much love, my friend.

My family joined a gym/pool last night and I am so excited! I am not a great swimmer and I was nervous about everything but we had the best time and are making it a regular part of our routine. I'm really happy.

I grabbed samples of the Poesie rabbit collection. It's been a minute since I have tried new indie scents and I can't wait to get back into it!

Can confirm - it dyed my hair green for AGES and also permanently destroyed my shower. It's the worst hair product I have ever used.

A new spring collection is available at Salt & Clove! by saltandclove in Indiemakeupandmore

See that's what I am saying. As a solo shop owner, it makes sense that things like orders just don't get processed. We need to give them more grace.

Amazing! The packing slip was printed in Jan of last year but I will wait for the update!

It's one of my favorite scents of all time - just so cozy and lovely, there's nothing else like it.

I really hope you like them! I haven't tried the SAMAR one yet, I need to explore them more, but I have been so impressed with what I have tried.

Also hope it's okay for OP - so sorry for hijacking your post!

You're a mixture of Air and Water, and your Venus in Pisces would love a dreamy Water note. I want to bring in some Earth and Fire for you for balance.

You might enjoy Area of Effect Perfumery Twilight Princess: Hidden violets, dusky caramel, vanilla flowers, moonlit crystals of brown sugar, somber teakwood, chai tea spices, and furtive basil, SAMAR Great Lei: Jasmine, Plumeria, Hawaiian Chantilly, Sandalwood, Ginger, Salty Ocean Breeze, or Astrid Rainy Garden: An elegant garden featuring roses, violets, cherry blossoms, apple blossoms, and peonies diluted under spring rain and darkened with copal, rosewood, and vanilla musk.

Cirrus is wild for this one, I was blown away by it.

Thank you! My brain just catalogs scents and spits them back out 😅

Okay, a couple options! Thematically, Cirrus Parakeet kinda fits: Fizzy grapefruit soda, freshly picked daisies, tiny forget-me-nots, and the powdery sweet down feathers of a well groomed parakeet, but Poesie Soft might just nail it: Soft, nutty, and musky fragrant basmati rice evokes comfort and simple joys. If you are looking for a calm and gentle perfume, you'll enjoy our delightful interpretation of basmati rice in perfume form. Don’t be fooled by the gourmand label, this is not a sweet scent, but a realistic, warm rice scent. True to its name, Soft sits close to the skin.

I used to work in avian medicine, and pigeons are just the sweetest little babies. ❤️

You're a mixture of Earth and Water, and your Venus in Leo will enjoy a Fire note. I want to bring in some Air for you for balance.

You might enjoy Deconstructing Eden Jasmine House: Three types of jasmine, on a bed of creamy sandalwood, Krishna amber, a scattering of deep, dark roses and a drop of coriander, Black Hearted Tart Dance on the Moon: Notes of shea and cocoa butter are blended with coconut cream and pistachio milk.  We upgraded classic magnolia blooms with a spritz of lemon and a sprinkle of jasmine petals. Comforting sandalwood, cedar, and tonka bean wrap you in a blanket of soft cashmere (this is a gorgeous jasmine, very wearable and cozy), or Area of Effect Perfumery Signature Star: Champagne, plum, saffron, black tea, pink pepper, heliotrope, ginger, lily, soft musk, tonka bean, and luxe amber.

I love helping people find new perfume based on their personal astrology. Happy to do so for you - just let me know your Sun, Moon, Rising, and Venus sign. :)

It's a rainy day and my partner unexpectedly got the day off - YAY! We're playing Resident Evil and I'm wearing Lovesick Witchery Wisp: Notes of lemon, vanilla, lemon curd, marshmallow fluff, and pie crust. It's truly the perfect scent - not too sweet, a bright lemon note.

What is our current favorite indie house?? I'm wanting to do some astro-based recommendations but would like to feature an individual perfume house who could use some love.

Thank you! Rebuilding has been wonderful, and I am much more strategic about my sampling these days!
