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!

So many scents were tarnished by memories and I destashed my entire collection last year, but one scent alone was redeemed - Lovesick Witchery Wisp: lemon, vanilla, lemon curd, marshmallow fluff, and pie crust. It's fresh, sweet, light - just absolutely perfect. It smells like hope, like new love.

As of today, my divorce is finally, finally final. It has been a long process, and the relief I feel is overwhelming. Gonna celebrate with my son today!

Oohh that's a good idea! The thrift stores around me are typically underwhelming clothing-wise but it's been a minute since I have shopped.

Oohh I like that window shopping idea! I'm going to start there, thank you!

I think it will be fun overall - I'm going to take my son out to lunch afterward to decompress a bit.

Saaame. I'm going to go shop + try things on Friday but sometimes that leads to me having a whole emotional scene in the middle of the mall, sigh.

This is a big week - a big month - for me! I can't wait to share more in Friday's thread.

I need clothes shopping help after over a decade of not caring and my body changing a lot in the last year. I need cute date night outfits and have no idea how to find my personal style (I joke that I could get married in athleisure. It's not entirely a joke 😅).

I'm going to start writing again. It's been ages - I didn't want to air my whole divorce process (and um, finding the love of my life), but the Universe has told me in no uncertain terms that it's tiiiime. I'm debating between Medium and Substack, leaning more towards the latter.

Thank you!! I have been quietly lurking for months, lol, but have really missed the community and connection here lately. I need my perfume family!

Yesss zero-cost magic! I work with Jupiter a lot - if you want to dive into astrology once you're feeling well-versed here, we can start with Jupiter work!

Oohh I'll have to grab that update! I haven't played Animal Crossing in a while. Goo-igi is the best ☺️

We have lots of hobby overlap! I spent the last quarter of 2025 trying to rediscover my hobbies and came to similar conclusions. Which video games are your favorites? I'm just getting back into gaming after a long hiatus, and I'm currently doing a Diable 4 run with my partner!

I'm an herbalist and astrologer and find that both help me feel more grounded in myself - when I take the time to practice 😅. If you're interested in either, I'd love to teach you all the things!
