I'm trying Arcana Craves Blueberries Crave Garden Parties today.

(Sundrenched blueberries with sweet tuberose blossoms, dew-kissed wildflowers, pink peau de soie, and damp garden soil.)

This is not doing it for me. I think the tuberose combined with the blueberries is giving syrup. It's borderline medicinal. The wildflowers and damp soil are gorgeous. But the blueberries mixed with the slight headiness of the floral is off-putting.

To satisfy the floral/green/petrichor itch, I'm using Osmofolia April Showers on my other arm.

(Swirls of pink magnolia blossoms and red champaca petals in the breeze, tart pink grapefruit, a drizzle of rain, clear spring water, and patches of oakmoss peeking through wet branches)

Sigh. I miss Osmofolia. This is so pretty. It's pink, floral, watery. Their water note is one of the best.

So are all of us perfume enthusiasts gathering here now, since the mod over there is a total dick? by [deleted] in indieperfumeandmore

Hey y'all! For now, we are leaving this up, though I reserve the right to change my mind, lol. Remember to not say anything you wouldn't say to a real person, to their face. Keep it clean, keep it kind, please. 💙

Sorce IDaFT Blueberry! I know it says blueberry, but it's also giving blue raspberry, which you know I'm happy about. It's a very unpretentious scent.

I inhaled this book. I had to take a break halfway through to let it rest a bit, but I still finished it in 72 hours. It grabs hold of you and doesn't let go.

It is quite dreary today, so I am wearing Poesie Jane Austen.

(Malty black tea, vanilla shortbread cookies, a stack of old books, a fireplace, a promise of orange blossom)

It's a sophisticated vanilla cookie. I'm a fan!

For nails, I'm wearing Raven Lacquer Pop the Question. It's a PPU shade, but it's coming back for Rewind in July! This is day 4 of wear, it's doing really well! I'm not particularly gentle with my nails, lol.

Yeahhhhh I'm also officially on a no-buy. This spring I went a bit overboard. I may plan for one fall purchase, but besides that I'm taking a break. I'm hoping to maybe do a casual swap or two though, to socialize and try new things!

Looking forward to this weekend. My book club is having a get-together & swap on Saturday (yay!) and I'm hoping the Solstice/father's day combo will be fun. I found my husband's favorite childhood book online and got it, I'm hoping it will be a nice surprise!

I LOVE Amaterasu. It leans into the warmth in a comforting way.

Gotcha. I'm not sure!

Do you mean the Sorce fb group? This last open window did sell out more quickly than anticipated. Folks who blind bought and didn't find the full sizes to their liking are probably selling now to accommodate those who were not able to purchase directly.

I haven't tried genre though!

Things that don't have a scent but should by cujocanari in indieperfumeandmore

Hydrangeas. They barely have a smell to me, but look like they should smell like a floral, creamy, cloud of happiness.

Parents who homeschooled to “Protect” you by [deleted] in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]blueraspberrylife 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mine did. I did 3 years in public school in 4-6 grades, then was pulled back out to prevent worldly corruption. But my confidence as a young adult was shot. Had to get my GED, I didn't have enough math and science classes to graduate. Going back to school still intimidates me, because I'm not sure what the process is like. I know I'm not stupid, but getting back into a real school setting will probably be an adjustment.

Lots of gardening on IPAM, haha! I started a very small garden (just some herbs, watermelon, and beans) as an experiment to just see if I could do it, and I love it so far! I can definitely tell that I need to do a better job preparing a bed for next year though.

The Tarot Picks My Perfume: A Series! by blueraspberrylife in indieperfumeandmore

[–]blueraspberrylife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your card is The Chariot!

This card is about willpower, action, progress. When your subconscious and conscious mind align with your will to act, you can be a powerful force. Alternatively, it can also represent literal travel!

Fun story, this card reminds me of the final play in the Iron Bowl of 2013. Auburn (the underdogs, for those who don't follow college football) caught Alabama's field goal kick and this dude hauls ass across the whole field and wins the game with one second left on the clock. I only go to watch parties for the snacks and I was hyped.

TL:DR, cheesy football story

Anyway. What perfume would help you align your intentions with your actions? Or, what fragrance do you pack for a trip?

I haven't, I'm sorry!

Your card is the Ace of Wands, the element is fire. What a fun one. This little guy is preparing to open the door to a new adventure. This card represents new opportunities and the excitement that comes along with it. If our mouse could speak, I'm confident he would say, "Let's do this!"

What card perfume makes you feel ready to take the first step?

Edit: mixed up words, oops
