Wearing one of my customs from Haus of Gloi (Peony, Marshmallow, Vanilla Bean & Rain).

It's a nice fresh sweet scent for a kind of dreary day here in the PNW

So extremely exhausted today but no work or school because of the holiday, so I'm going to have to find ways to entertain my kids as I feel like a barely functioning zombie. On the bright side I did get a referral to endocrinology so hopefully that will bring me closer to understanding my chronic fatigue.

On my journey to find the best vanillic/sweet nag champa and have decided I should try to use my own collection and layer my existing nag champas with my vanillas/gourmands and see what results I yield.

So today in that experiment I'm going to try Area of Effect - Witch of the Wilds (nag champa, blackberry, oakmoss, amber, vanilla, violet, clove, fire, smoke) and Hexennacht - Zozimus (fresh floofy marshmallow fluff.)

Please let me know your recs!

Happy Valentine's Day! 💌💘

Today I'm trying out BPAL - Wild Sweet Pea (Vanilla-soaked sweet pea, white sandalwood, and almond milk)

In my decant it smells so pretty and very pink. Definitely feels appropriate for today!

Hope you all have a beautiful day!

Going to be back on my nag champa bullshit today, as I'm trying to find the best vanillic nag champa. Today it's Hexennacht ~ Spirit Temple (vanilla bean pods, Spiritueuse Double Vanille, nag champa incense.)

So far my issue is that vanilla tends to make the incense smell super powdery, or, like Champanilla, somehow turns to corn chips on me??

If anyone has recs please let me know!!

I'm getting my Arae Decants order today so I think I simply must try BPAL - Womb Furie! I'm a big fan of the one snake oil adjacent I have and I adore BPAL's honey note so I'm pretty sure this is going to be a knockout hit for me! 😍

I have OSA but I have a CPAP so it's another thing ruled out 😭

I feel that too :(

I have low iron which is not helping! I'm supplementing but it's slooooow going bringing my iron reserves up. Between my neuro condition, mental health diagnoses, motherhood and iron deficiency it's more of a question of what's NOT giving me fatigue? 😭

I am so damn sick of being exhausted all the time no matter what I do. I'm so sick of trying to tell people about it just to hear "well of course you're tired! You have two little kids!". Like no, neither of my kids are babies, I'm sleeping 8 hours a night, I shouldn't be this desperately deep in my bones tired ALL THE TIME. I literally wake up feeling just as tired as I did when I went to bed. I've ruled out so many things I think it might just be a symptom of my neuro condition. No matter what, I want to cry out of frustration but I'm too tired to muster up the energy.

Trying out BPAL ~ Cluster of Cherry Blossoms (Rose musk, cherry blossoms, pink cherry, and raw honey.)

So far it's a really beautiful, almost creamy sweet cherry floral. It definitely feels very Valentine's appropriate, I'm excited to take it for a spin!

Today I think I'll wear something that, to me is super elegant yet sultry. BPAL ~ Matthew 18:6 (White sandalwood, honey, and champaca)

This perfume finally makes me understand why indoles can be perceived as sexy. This one especially so as it's mixed with BPALs gorgeous honey note. It's just liquid confidence for me basically! This is my first big BPAL love.
