posting on someone else's blog some freaky ass shit? ROFLMAO
Our dog (Stark) is driving me crazy coming over to me and staring at me until I ask him where's the ball, he finds it and then I have to bounce it off the ceiling and walls (hard, mind you) while he tries to catch it on the first bounce. He's doing it daily now. It's kind of tiring. For both of us. Ava tries to get involved but her hips don't let her move, so she just growls when the ball gets close to her. The rare occasion she gets the ball, she does give it up easily though. Good girl! It's a tennis ball. I should say balls because we have about 30 of them. They are scattered all over the house and back yard. The house looks like a two year old lives in it with all the toys.
I tried to get video of it but he moves too fast and it's hard to capture on the camera.
I need a new camera. I need one that the videos aren't blurry when I'm taping something far away. Also one that isn't too dark. I tape some things and they are too dark to see when they are in the house.
I'm camera clueless, so I guess I'll continue to use my 2 year old Kodak 7.2 mp M763. Bah. I could be filming some pretty awesome stuff.......... if only!!! Uh huh!!
I bought a new cd. Red House Painters. I love this song!!
The movie these scenes are from is really good: 'He loves me, He loves me not' with Audrey Tautou. She's made some memorable films. Amélie is amazing. Tautou is blindingly cute, and a powerhouse actress as well.
Here's another one. If you didn't recognize them, the lead singer is the one in other videos that I have posted from Sun Kill Moon.
I like his slow mellow tunes. They're melodic and easy and beautiful. I like reading the words to his songs too.
I mean, it's ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aa-a-a-a-a-aa-a-a-a-aa-a-a-d.
I go once a week to get some. Went again tonight. Had the seafood pho for the first time. Was there last Sunday too. If I'm not eating pho I'm making it and on a quest to find thai basil here in the Asian groceries. On Pinterest I am drooling over pho pics.
Our cat Cindy is blind or almost blind. Deaf too. I think she can see movement but that's it. She swings her eyes around trying to see things, and follows the walls and almost bumps into things. So far she's adapted really well. It started about 6 months ago when I noticed her left pupil was always enlarged and getting cloudy. Now the other is that way too. She gets around really well and still climbs the kitchen cabinet to get onto the pull out bread board which is HER place to eat. She also still uses the litter boxes in the basement and the spare bedroom upstairs, and also finds the water bowl in the upstairs bathroom. She's such a good cat. One of the best cats we've ever had. She's not only a lap cat but she's never pottied outside of a litterbox, ever. I've never even see her vomit. When I call her name I can tell she can't hear me. She has always had this chronic ear thing going on and I wonder if the deafness and blindness are tied into that. I think she's gonna do just fine.
Here's a pic of my older brother and my SIL. He's got dimples like me! I just texted him, Happy t day, u ugly fucks! ROFLMAO He'll come back with something quippy. LOL
Later--Here's what he wrote back an hour later--he must have been out drinking...LOL :
'Im an ugly fuck and im ok i stink all night and i smell all day. in the morning i go skunkin and pass the time away.....'
SNORT!!! I knew it!! He's a hoot.
Blind pick bpal oil review:
Meliai
Light yellow in color.
In the vial: Lemony and cologne at the same time. Smooth.
On the hand: Not so smooth now. Pushy yellowness. Like dropping a bottle of cologne in a lemon shop. Or holding a lemon to my nose while meandering through a perfume store. And it is pushy! It's a bully. This one's not backing down for anyone or anything. I love it.
What's in this? Sisters to the Erinyes and the Gigantes, the ash tree nymphs were also born from the union of the blood gushing from Ouranos’ castration wounds and Gaia’s fertile womb. These nymphs were the mother of the Bronze Race of mankind’s third age.
Ash manna and ambrosial honey.
Yummmm. Others got citrus, lemon and grapefruit so I'm not totally nuts here. yay
I can see the smoothness I got in the vial was the honey then the green sap came out on the hand. I like this, but most other reviewers didn't care for it. It's a keeper for me....but I love lemon scents....
One hour later:
Fah!!! This Meliai screams off the skin! I keep getting big wafts of it. Definitely a man's scent. Now it's squirrely amberish earth.
It's wonderful. But a manly scent. Not a big bottle winner only for that reason.
Even later: This is wonderful. Heavy, manly, musky.
I'm making pho again. This time with beef bones I bought from the Asian store and also some ox tails.
I just need to have the broth on hand (I freeze it in freezer bags) for when I get a craving (which is about once a week).
It's an addiction I never expected. Well, I guess all addiction aren't expected, but you know what I mean.
I'm watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. I've probably seen it 100 times since I also own the VCR tape. YES I still have VCR tapes. LOL! I imagine only 40 and older still watch it when it comes on regular TV. The graphics probably aren't what the new generation of kids prefer.
So I'm sitting here with thousands of X Generation peeps watching this uber wonderful show!!
I'm in the mood for fragrance really bad right now. I want to open everything I own and SMELL IT ALL!!!
I bought a bunch of BPAL's Atmospheric Room Sprays that I actually use as perfume. One of my fave is Were-Rat Infested Sewer.
I know. Sounds gross eh?
It's not. It's awesome and I have two now. Yep the obsessive in me needed more. hehe
I have: The Queen's Croquet Ground, Revenge (a prototype--which means it's in the early stages before the end product is decided upon), Down the Rabbit Hole, and Lich's Laboratory.
I'm going to try them all tonight!!
Let's go in alphabetical order....so Down the Rabbit Hole---You're up!!
I smelled the nozzle and already I am getting dirt and putridness. LOL I'll probably give this to Shannon, my bestie's daughter who LOVES bpal's Death Cap which is the most gawd-awful bpal around.... ack!
Hmmmm, I put some on my arm and after the first initial putrid smell I get something quite springy and fresh. This might be a keeper!!??
2 minutes:
It IS a keeper! It's super bright, white and vibrant. Never judge a hole by it's surface smell. Remember....I said that.
What's in this? Can I find a description? I did! I did!
Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled `ORANGE MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.
Daisies and dirt with a hint of orange marmalade, dry leaves, and crunchy old sticks.
I wonder why all bpals that have dirt as a scent smell putrid to me. That's not dirt. Or maybe it's the dry leaves that is putrid in bpal's scents. not sure. all in know is I don't like putrid.
Okay.....Lich's Laboratory is up!
Really unusual nozzle sniff.
On the hand: wow is that different! Zesty dry leaves! Love this. Super poppy. It's soda water bubbling foam and loam. I want to say minty but it's not.....it just seems that way. Green leaves being chopped in a blender, then add a shot of champagne, 2 lilies, 1/2 cup moss and a skull that's been buried in dirt for 10 years. Mix it all up and pour into 5ml bottles and sell it for $17.50.
What's in this?
Hissing vials of acid, swirls of thick incense, creeping mosses, flecks of grave loam, and noxious potions clutter the blackened stone biers of an abandoned burial vault.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Not too far off!!
I like this wet. And I LOVE Down the Rabbit Hole dry. OMG it's superbly ethereal!!
Okay, it's The Queen's Croquet Ground's turn.
Nozzle sniff gives me tangy greenstuff. Whoa! Yellowness!!! Dandelions smells with the green grass. So clean and green. Weeds that you cut with scissors, then smell the cut ends. Super grassy. Cut all the weeds into little pieces then scoop it up and bring it to your nose and take a big inhale. There's a flower in this that I recognize but can't name.
What's in this? Are their heads off?' shouted the Queen. `Their heads are gone, if it please your Majesty!' the soldiers shouted in reply. `That's right!' shouted the Queen. `Can you play croquet?' The soldiers were silent, and looked at Alice, as the question was evidently meant for her. `Yes!' shouted Alice. `Come on, then!' roared the Queen, and Alice joined the procession, wondering very much what would happen next.
Green grass and red roses. ROFLMAO!!! It's roses that I smell!! Freaking roses!!!!! Why can't I ever get that right??????? Mostly this is green so maybe that's a reprieve for me but I doubt it.
Down the Rabbit Hole is getting putrid again and Lich is heavenly........Lich's is getting peppery too now.
Last one ----Revenge!!!!
Nozzle smells florally. But it's not. This is alcoholy. I wonder if that's the smell or if this has turned.
Scent description: http://www.bpal.org/topic/55161-revenge/
Read other's reviews. I also found it to be meh.....no smell really. Just alcohol. Blech. And I LIKE alcohol....as we all know by now....
I was hoping Revenge would be something to talk about. Meh.
so much that sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking that someday they are going to die. It makes me cry. I love on them all the time....like ..... A LOT. So maybe I will be okay thinking that I gave them lots of love and attention. I hope so. But I am not sure I am going to be able to bear them passing away.
Aren't they regal dogs?? Please excuse the dog snot on the window.
"What you talkin' 'bout, Willis? That's a secret shield that's impenetrable to radar, sound, gunfire, sonar, x-ray, satellite, night-vision, infrared, and nosy neighbors. Let's just keep our mouth shut about it, all right soldier?!"
I've got to order some Nocturne Alchemy Phantom. That's probably one of the best smelling oils I've tried lately.
I ate at Long John Silvers today for lunch and now I'm all puffy with water weight. LOL I didn't even eat supper. Man I love that food. Nothing like ingesting 1000 calories for lunch. Bah!
I'm going to bring some of my posts from BPAL Forum over to here so people can read them without having to sign up on BPAL.
Mountain of Bone
It's in a bottle and I can't tell what color it is. I know some of you are just moping about that right now, eh? Yeah right.
Very sweet and creamy. I smell some lemon or lime. It's pretty potent smelling too. It's a candy sort of smell. Like what a bag of gummy worms smells like freshly opened while walking through the parking lot of the store. I smell berries, lemon, cherries, maybe even coconut?? I am really liking this a lot. I'd definitely wear this to work. It's a happy scent. Let's see what's in this...
The notorious Vale pub, and the bhole's favorite after-practise hangout. White wine spritzers with a dribble of ooze and a bone-speared thok fruit garnish.
Yay, I did pretty good. Others got the fruit too. This is a bag of candy to me and so not what I was expecting......With the name I expected something sinister and bone cold. Not a happy bag of goodies. But I'll take it!!
Czernobog In the vial is that coca cola smell. I also get something creepy...like moss or dead wet leaves. I'm kinda liking it. LOL Seems to have something sour in it, and I still haven't put it on my skin yet. Smells kind of pissy too.
On the skin: Smoky, patchouli, incense and resin. That sour smell is mostly gone. I'm now getting a lot of green with this. Like big green pines with moss hanging from them next to a smokey fire.
Few minutes later: It's turning sharp.
A few more minutes: ACK. This has an odd pissy smell to it. Not liking it so much at this point.
Let's see what's in this....Created in honor of the Slavic Black God of the Dead. A nighttime god of grief, evil, chaos and woe, he is paralleled by his twin brother Bylebog, god of light, joy, order, and good fortune. A combination of three musks, with splashes of dark myrrh, vetiver and mullein.
I need to see what that Mullein is...well it's a plant but Wiki doesn't say what it smells like. I love, love, love musk, myrrh and vetiver so it has to be the mullein that smells pissy to me. It's a funky smell that I wouldn't even wear in public because I'd be afraid people thought I'd pissed my pants and let it dry...like over and over. Eeeek.
This has to be given away. I don't want it around at all.
Now I'm going to do a blind pick of one that I've never reviewed before....
Gaueko
In the vial: invigorating, florals mixed with ozones, what stars would smell like. But not a hot star. Cool. Truly, truly invigorating is the word that comes to mind when I smell it.
When I put it on the back of my hand I could smell it in my nose from a foot away. Super white floral with some sea spray and maybe a hint of sourness. Maybe even some mint. Take a glass and in it put 3 mints, a lot of white flower petals and there it is. I love it. It's gorgeous.
What's in this? The Basque God of Night and all the perils of the darkness. Though he is the God of the Danger that Lurks in the Gloom, he is kind to men and warns them against the nighttime hazards and sets rules of conduct for both the living and the dead as they travel through his domain. It is said that since the warm, vibrant daylight is for the living, the abodes of night are reserved for the dead. All who heed his counsel are protected, but woe be to any man that disobeys the laws of Gaueko: he is swift to punish those that would scorn his advice. Blackened sandalwood and misty lavender, with curling wisps of smoky tobacco, nag champa, and labdanum.
Hmm, now that I look for it, yeah I get the nag champa, I think that combined with the lavender if what's giving me the minty smell.
I love this and it's a big bottle winner.
Yeah, Nag Champa is the bomb!!! So is Gaga!
45 minutes: Nag is nagging me to no end. Loving this Gaueko!!!!!!!!!!!
We went to Riccelli's to eat. It's this old Italian restaurant that's been around since the 50's I believe. The food's hit or miss, the waitstaff is subpar and it's like being in a dinner theater and the theater is watching the employees. LOL
We love it anymore but we boycotted it for 25 years. No crap, it was that bad.
We had onion rings, soup, bread, a small plate of spaghetti and then our main dish and a side. All for 60.00 plus I had 2 margaritas and Jeff had 2 beers. We even had leftovers for the dogs and cats. Jeff had a New York strip and I had calves liver and onions. We ROLL out of that place every time.
Reviews are all over the place and there's never anyone under 30 years old in the place and usually it's people even older than me and Jeff who are early 50's.
If you go on a Friday or Saturday it's 1 1/2 hours before you get your food (the main course) and don't expect any beverage refills either. LOL It takes 20 minutes for them to even take your order. Like I said, it's Dinner Theater!! What a hoot!!!
Blasphemy!!!! Got home at 7pm, both out. Called Mediacom, they said 3-4 hours. Woke up at midnight, still out, called again. Told me 6am. Woke up, got ready for work, still out. Called at 7:50am. Told me 3 hours. uh huh. Mediacom sucks and if we had another cable company to use, we'd be using them but they have a monopoly here. We pay 250.00 a month for 4 cable boxes, one has HD and DVR, and internet. Ridiculous!!
I'm almost ready to go to Direct TV, but when we price what we have, the price is about the same for both.....so Id rather keep my cable because we have a lot of bad weather in Iowa and satellite would go down for sure during storms. Lose, lose situation. WE'RE IN A CATCH 22 DREAM!!
I'm HOOKED on Pinterest. Like I need a new website!!!
The food!!! The FOOD!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I'm in Vietnamese food heaven!! I ate homemade pho on Saturday and I'm already having another craving. Tomorrow me and Jasmine from work hit Pho 888 for lunch.
She says there is a beef salad that's scrumptious. I can't wait!
Today I wore Phantom from Vapothecary (Nocturne Alchemy) to work. It's smells so wonderful that a co-worker yells someone smells good! She blamed another co-worker but that co-worker says not it's not me , I think it's Lori. I just acted like I didn't hear anything!! I don't want people smelling like me, so my lips were sealed!!
Today though it was all candylike, more candy than the first time I reviewed it. CRAZY! Crazy!!
We had guinea grinders for supper.
1 loaf French or Italian bread
1 lb 80% ground beef
1 lb hot Italian sausage
2 tblsp tomato paste
1/4 small onion chopped
1/4 green pepper chopped
1/2 large jalapeno chopped fine
4 to 6 Mozzarella cheese slices
4 American cheese slices
Chili powder to taste--I like about 2 tablsp
Garlic Powder to taste- I like 2 tsp.
Garlic salt to taste- I like 1 tsp
and some salt
Cook the beef and sausage all the while breaking it down with a spatula. Brown it. DO NOT pour off the grease! Add the seasonings and tomato paste. Stir well. Cook on low for 5 minutes.
Slice the bread horizontally in the middle. I then dig out some of the bread with my fingers to create a well in the bottom half. Load the meat into the well. Top with the onions, peppers and then the cheeses.
Bake at 325 for 25 minutes then up the temp to 375 for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and let rest 5-8 minutes. Cut into manageable sizes.
The fats from the meat will soak into the bottom bread and create this oily, crispy crust. I suppose if you're watching your weight or fats then you can drain the meat but I don't recommend it. No wonder my doctor hates me. LOL
A wooden roller coaster from the 70's from my past. Rode it so many times that I could feel the curves and hills in this video. Awesome!!
Every year for the past 4 years I've watched the Decorah Iowa Eagle Cam. It starts in the fall and you see the pair fix the nest then lay their eggs and brood them until they hatch about February. They hatch then the babies grow and finally fledge. It's wild watching the parents bring food to the babies.
Here's the link:
I made a peanut butter cake from scratch with homemade peanut butter frosting and the cake tastes like a pancake. But it was still warm. Everything tastes different when it's warm. I am hoping the decandent frosting will seep into the cake. It's already started actually. No shit. Jeff laughed his ass off-- about the pancake taste.. The punk. Okay, maybe I suck at baking. Ehhhhh
I'll still eat it. I am craving pho and peanut butter cake. No, I'm not preggers.
I think Melissa McCarthy is my fave actress right now. I've NEVER had a fave actress.I wasn't expecting to like 'The Heat'. But that was probably one of the funniest movies I've seen for a long time.
Still watching that eagle nest!!??
I bought $200 worth of product to make my wreaths. Stuff was 80% off so I got $1000 worth of stuff for $200. I'm stoked! <<so 80's
I think I might try to sell a few, see if I can at least make my money back.
Time for a blind pick!!
Juliet
In the vial: no color, clear. I love those, they always seem mysterious and also that they can be any kind of scent, it's fun to try to guess.
In the vial still: Lily, vibrant floral, almost ghostly, clean and in a really good way. It's a rainstorm. A windstorm! The scent is the microphone picking up the thuds and whistles of the wind. I have to get this on my skin. I chose a wrist, something new for me. Normally I schlock it on the back of my hand. Not this. It's a beautiful smell that rivals the old time colognes. All floral, strong yet breezy. God that sounds corny. Calgon, take me away! You'll only get that if you're at least 30 years old.
Fadin out here! Adios! Syanara. Kapeesh. Auv Vrwah.. That's French. Are River Detchee. That's up in Wisconsin I think. It might be Michigan. Not sure.
Chelsea Handler is the bomb. No shit. I love her dry sense of humor and also her wet sense of humor. Is there such a thing as wet humor? Well she has it. No I am not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I get her.
That whole paragraph sounded perverted, didn't it?<<< I'm writing this sentence DAYS after writing the above sentence. <<this one too<< and this one<<< and this one<<< this one<<< yep<< yeppers<<< uh huh.......
Juliet is still uberly, effervescencley vibrant girly smell. All flowers and sun. I can't help that I MAKE UP WORDS. Why was that all caps, I didn't do that. ? I've been hinxed!
What's in Juliet?? Utter wonderfulnous<< that's coming from ME!!!.
Sweet pea with stargazer lily, calla lily, heliotrope, honeysuckle, white musk and a touch of fresh pear.
Ahhhh! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. That sums it up.
The Mississipi Crock Pot Roast Beast was extremely good. That means a lot! Jeff said it was probably the best roast that he'd ever ate. It wasn't tender, Tim was right about that, but the flavor made up for it.
We're killing our world. Slowly, that's for sure, but it's inevitable. We're killing our rivers, and forests and every species of animal, insect and plant. No way our planet will be able to sustain the population nor the pollution. I'd hate to be alive at the end of the world. What a horrific catastrophe. Sad.
Do you think you 'live' on after death? Or is it just a blackness, like sleeping. Do you think there's a 'God'. Someone or something that is there when you die? The world is pretty 'fact' based. No such things as ghosts, reincarnation, channeling, psychic readings. It's all hockey puck. When you die, you die. You're just gone. I like to 'entertain' that there's something else out there. That my entity will go to another dimension. But it aint happenin. I recently read Tuesdays with Morrie. I commend him on trying to teach people to live in the moment and to love, love, love. I know he reached some. Some people look at life differently because of him. Good. That was his intent.
I'm not much of a 'people' person. I'm more nature involved. I love animals, and trees, flowers, tangible things. I DO like certain people though. Like my husband. He's tangible. Oh yeah. LOL
I'm reading The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. I also have the DVD coming. It's a story of a guy down on his luck getting lucky to be able to stay at a place that had these wild parrots living in the vicinity. Great story. It's in San Francisco. He gets to know them by feeding them and helping them according to their individual needs. Every parrot is different in not only the way they looked, but temperament and personality.
I'm making this today since I am off work for an appointment and found the recipe on one of my favorite blogs. http://rouxbdoo.blogspot.com/ His blog link is also down and to the right --->
It's 3:00 now and I put it on at 11:00, to be done by the time Jeff gets home. I went to my appt and came back and you're right Tim (Rouxbdoo)--it smells really good in here!! Yum! Can't wait to eat it.
Copied from Rouxbdoo's blog: Mississippi Pot Roast
1 beef chuck roast, 3 - 4 lbs
1 packet McCormicks powdered Au Jus mix
1 packet Hidden Valley powdered Ranch Dressing mix
1 stick of butter
6 - 8 pepperoncini peppers
Preparation
Spray your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray, place roast in the pot, cover top with ranch mix and cover that with au jus mix. Lay the stick of butter on top and scatter the pepperoncinis over the top of the powder covered roast. Replace lid and cook for 8 hrs on LOW.
Now, here's the warning. DO NOT ADD WATER.
I haven't decided the sides yet but I do have some dense soft bread. Jeff loves bread with his meals. I think he's going to devour this roast. Roast is his all time favorite meal over anything else! Maybe I'll make some red beans and rice for a side, that sounds good too.
I made a video of my kitchen, there's been several people that want to see all my suns I have decorated with.
Remember how I said I was letting my natural hair grow out?? Well, here's the stage I am at!! OMG! I've been blonde since 8th grade!!
SCE-E-E-E-E-R-E-D!!!
Here's a pic when I had red, brown and blonde in my hair. I LOVED this look but the girl that did this for me moved to South Dakota and I've never been able to find anyone as good.
I have no idea what he wants. If anyone can tell me that'd be great!! I went into the kitchen to smell the roast beast and turned around to find this.
I think he's trying to look innocent, what do you think? Like....."I carry this ball around with me wherever I go so don't be getting any big ideas that I want to play or anything. In fact, I think it's stuck to my lip and I might need a bambulance."
"Or maybe I need a ballbulance. To lance this ball off my lips. It seems to be stuck."
So I've put Loo-Cee (yes I changed the spelling) away for the winter.
She seemed sad that she's not going to be zipping along I-235 in the mornings and afternoons. Oh....that's me that's sad. Sigh. She's so much fun to drive. By far the easiest and funnest (is that a word) car I have ever driven. It's funny because I'll be zooming along the freeway thinking I am going 10 miles over the speed limit and I'll look down and I'm going the speed limit! It feels like I am traveling a lot faster than I am. Then I started driving the F150 a couple weeks ago and felt I needed to speed up and I looked down and I was going 70 in a 60. Ack!! The difference between the two is amazing. I do like being up so high in the truck though. And that it's 4 wheel drive for winter. It's a tank in the snow and I've never gotten stuck. I love my truck.
Time for another blind bpal pick.
Tin Foil Hat
Guess what!? It's yellow! Yeah, whodathunkit?
In the vial: clean, citrusy man's cologne. Soapy, like decorative soaps in a grandmother's bathroom.
On the hand: It reminds me of a clear day with laundry blowing in the wind. This is the fabric softener in the sheets. Even though my first initial thought was a man's cologne I think this is now rather feminine. Actually it's both. What a conundrum! It's strong at first. Almost too strong but I feel it's going to get really frilly and clean and girly in a couple hours. If so I think I love this. We'll see.
What's in this? Crap! No scent description. Let's see what others say:
Some excerpts: wet: this smells a bit like a light, sweet aquatic over a bright metallic. not jarring or sharp at all, very clean and tame. No, really, I smell like ozone. Straight metallic scents, with nothing else to ground them, usually just turn to to tart, fresh soapiness for me. There's really nothing wrong with that, and it's actually rather pretty-- bright, dewy, with a silken, mirror-like texture. It vaguely reminds me of an men's aquatic citrus cologne, like "Cool Water" with citrus. (ME: YES!!) Hello men's cologne. How you've been?This is masculine to say the least. Its nice enough for a guy, but this thing is strong so wear at your own risk. What a weird combination! I'm guessing lime and lavender, with something VERY ozone/aquatic that's creating the metallic edge. This is kinda irritating my nose - not in a sneezy way, just in an irritating way - it's not a smell I'm enjoying.Very clean and fresh, maybe even slightly fizzy, but for me.. it smells like walking through the men's perfume area at the department store. You know how that smells.. the mix of all those Calvin Klein and Hugo Boss and Armani type colognes.
Seems like I get what they get. I like this. For myself. Will see how it smells when I wake up in the morning.
Time for a review of another etailer besides BPAL. So I grabbed my ammo case with other etailers and perused thru them and grabbed this one because of the name. I have in this box BPTP (Black Phoenix Trading Post), Good Judy, Conjure Oils, Nocturne Alchemy, Alkemia Perfumes, Lou Lou's, ZOMG, The Poisoned Apple Apothecary, Arcana, Blooddrop, Lux Vixen, Violette Market, blah blah blah.....to lazy to continue the names..........
Adorable name!! Yellow in color, would I have expected anything different? Hell no!!
Fruity in the vial. Lemony. Pretty difficult to even smell it so I have to put some on my hand immediately. The first initial impression I have is Yuck. LOL There's something in this I don't like. Something weird smelling and it's hard to put a word to it. The top note is a bright and fruity but the base is that weird smell. This has an oddly candyish tickle. Not sure I like this though. Even as it dries it's not getting much better. Like spoiled candy. meh
I actually found a scent description: When two become one, what once was is now forever...only never to be. Ghastly to some. Fascinating to others. A medical marvel to all. This bicephalic form floats, peaceful, in a man-made womb with a view...perfectly preserved for your curiosity and pleasure.
Tangerine, pink pepper, talc
I think it's the talc that's making this nauseous to me, because I like tangerine and pink pepper in oils. I won't be keeping this. Blech.
Well since that was a bust --gonna do another one....Should I give Good Judy a chance to redeem herself? of course!!
How about Mint Patch!?
I'm wringing my hands with this one because I KNOW I WILL LOVE IT!!!!! hehe
Dark in color. YES!!! It's a good sign!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That's some mint!! And a mint I haven't smelled yet in an oil. A different flavor of mint for sure. Spearmint, it's gotta be! Wrigley's Doublemint Gum in the green wrapper. And that's all I am getting from the vial.
On the hand: WOW! this cleans out the nose. Stuffed up? Gotta cold? No more! Yeeeeowwwsaaa!!
Crazy ass mint even as it's drying. I'd expected the patch to come out. Nope. Nada. Denied. I am lovin me some Mint Patch! I'm freaking going to have to wear this to work and freak people out. I am getting the barest glimpse of my buddy patch in this. Hopefully as it dries the mint will subside and patch will bloom.
10 minutes: Patch is here! Still faint but he's coming!!!
Oh! Here's the scent desc: In the wild, unadulterated lands of the free, grows the mint patchouli tree. Earthy, cool, and refreshing. Patchouli, spearmint, peppermint and pennyroyal.
I got it right! I got it right! Doublemint!! Hahaha.
OMG when I go from smelling Mint Patch to smelling Pickled Punk...I kinda like Pickled Punk now! That odd smell is gone now after 25 minutes. Or my nose is broke from the mint it's been inhaling. LOL
Patch is peeking around the corner!! He's 10% here!!
1 1/2 hours later: Patch is here!!! No more mint, just incredible edible patchouli!!!!
