Lol! I keep looking back to see when the notes will be listed, @Eastwood22. Can't wait to see them!

I read the rules but I'm lost. Is it anything that you buy or is there a list provided somewhere for certain items listed that would count? 

Here are the rules.  It will open sometime today in this forum. Mara will post what is available as far as sale items go. Read the rules carefully and you'll understand how it works.

Upcoming sale or not, I could not find it in me to wait  (yes, I ordered some!!!!)

Me too, Eve. I will order more with my sale goodies, but didn't want to risk missing out on two that I love! ?

Woo-hoo! So excited!

Oh yeah, I have a friend here named Sari who's also originally from the east coast, we joke around because we're the only people who say each others name right. I don't know why it turns to a long A out here, and I know a guy named Harry and no one called him Hairy. But I much more rhyme with Harry (and Gary) then safari. 

Lol - "Hairy." ?

I can't wait until tomorrow to see the notes! They are all tempting, except the pineapple, since I'm allergic to pineapple. 

I would never have thought to pronounce your name with a long "a" sound, like dairy. I was thinking that it would rhyme with safari. I know a Mari and a Sari, who both pronounce their names that way. I'm on the east coast. Maybe that's why.

Add OCCO Ambrosia (2012 for me), you won't be the only nom nom ing on your arm!

Ooooh!  I'm going to try this with OCCO Ambrosia.  I love the smell of Deliciae, but it fades fairly quickly on me, possibly because I just have the sampler, not a spray. I'm planning on getting a FB during the sale. I'm thinking that pairing it with OCCO Ambrosia might make it hang around longer.

Kayla, treat them like regular new releases.

 

I need to mention that these are a seriously limited edition set that I am guessing will sell out during the sale. Get your trigger fingers ready!

 

No stress, tho. lol.

 

 

Hmmmm... there's one I can't live without, so I'll be ordering it prior to the sale. Thanks for the heads up about them being really limited! 

@Potion Master - Quick question - will these need to be reserved on the sale thread or should we treat them like the other non-sale items? Also, I just reread the original post and LOVE that part of the proceeds will go to charity! ❤

Wow! This is beyond exciting!!! ❤❤❤

I'm editing because I just saw the other OCCOs and want to get some of those instead. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Trying to wait patiently...have a bunch of items I'm ready to order. I gave in a few weeks ago and ordered some samples of the summer releases to see if I needed to order any of them during the sale as well.

Welcome, Circe!

 The lack of a back button (as before in the upper left side) to go to the "general chat page is tough. When I want to get out of a thread, lets say this one, I have to go to my browser and enter the http for the general forum page.

This is on the mobile setting.

Stacy, if you click in the upper left corner on the burgundy background, the back button is still there and works as it used to. It is just hidden by the new skin. I always use the mobile version and it "disappeared" when the new skin was applied.

I got my shipping notice yesterday  - can't wait!!!

Thanks Stacy! Everything went well, can't believe how hard it is for me to just listen to the advice I'm asking for! When I put on my denim jacket over my dress, I could my little pherotine of EST in the pocket from my last ex interaction. It was hard to resist the temptation but I managed to only be in LFN. I noticed he stood behind me a lot instead of sitting, and seemed much more uncomfortable than he's been lately. Not sure what's going on, but it's crazy if it's for lack of the exclusive EST or EST and cops treatment he's been consistently getting from me. 

Yes, I actually did! I was with all of the people I needed to negotiate, plus 3 extra moms to interact with, one of whom I'm been less friendly than she'd like but only because she would always try to talk to me at the wrong time. That only matters because she was my bartender like 25 years ago, and some relationships are forever sacred. But real time wise? Less than two hours. But women can shove a lot of BS into 10 minutes, two hours could be an eternity.

Eve, Oceanjewel and Kayla, thank you ladies, also, for your support. It's nice to feel less alone walking into these kinds of situations. I'm a positive person and can shake off most anything but some of this crap just stirs up the older crap.

On a lighter note, getting dressed up for his event was a requirement for my son. I brought a dress shirt and stiff, dark, new jeans and newer shoes for him in case the ex failed to dress him up. Good thing I did because my son decided that he would dress up by wearing his tuxedo t-shirt, which says "classy tattoos for classy people" on the back. This was a graded event, like a final exam, and dressing up was required. I get that it's funny, but really? It would lower his grade by not fufilling basic requirements. 

Happy to hear everything went well today!

May I please reserve an itty set too?

You will notice I edited the info under Coco Chrissy's, I decided to make a second version of it.

The first version, it had an extra drop of frangipani in it, and after a couple of days, it exploded. It's gorgeous, but all of a sudden, the flower note is right on top and became the main course rather than just the garnish it was meant to be.

So I rebrewed it without the extra drop of floral, and this one is all coconut musk with just understated floral wisps, which is what Chrissy and I had both intended.

They are both fabulous, I can't decide which I love more.

So those who have already reserved, which version would you like? Please let me know, thank you!

I would like the second version without the frangipani. Thanks!

Tomorrow morning, I have to be at my son's school for his "final exhibition," he's going to be dressed up and give a presentation on god-knows-what. (I'm not supposed to know.) Here's my situation:

 

1) I'll be there with my ex, whom is very easy to manage with EST, otherwise he can be a total prick. I like to occasionally remind him that he blew it. He know's he's a bit of a moron, but I wouldn't mind if he questioned his choices.

2) One of my kid's teachers happens to be someone that I have serious bad blood with. Lucky me, right? She's very smart, manipulative, used to write bondage books, and likes to rub in that she's very close with my kid's dad. It's a boy's school, I have zero doubt that she's a fantastic teacher, but I'm glad that there are no little girls at the school towards whom she could direct her cruelty. Bossing a bunch of 12 year old boys around and forcing them to reach new heights in their educations is perfect for her. I was wearing Liebchen w/ TH when she awkwardly crash hugged me multiple times.

3) I have zero female friends at the school. I thought I was making one, she texted me and asked if I wanted to take our boys to a local coffee shop. I told her that I didn't want to go to that one, as it's where the chick my husband was cheating on me for 4 years worked. I found out later that she knew and asked me to go there intentionally. Um, next! I've never even glanced her way again.

4) I believe that much of the staff thinks I'm not terribly interested in the school or my son's education. This is due to the fact that it is an all-boys school and my ex teaches one art elective there every week, so I assumed he had his finger on the pulse of admissions and whatnot. Turns out, no, it seems that in this family mom needs to manage everything, even when the kid's dad works at the school and socializes with the entire staff. Everyone on staff there thinks he's the bee's knee's, he can turn on the charm when he wants to, and looks like the world's most involved dad to them, when in the reality he's been with them at bedtime approximately 200 times in their entire lives, I did the other 4200 solo. Also, I know I've been the topic of discussion in the office because they had to discuss how to approach me on the fact that I wasn't packing my kid a lunch and sent me a sensitively worded email on how they knew feeding children was a personal family matter but bringing up his nutritional needs and how his energy falls later in the day because I don't feed him. He has ADHD and simply walks out without his packed lunch sometimes, I can't always drive it over, and he's told the school that I forgot to give him a lunch on those days. For the record, I don't actually withhold food from my kids or think feeding them is a personal choice. 

 

So, these are my needs-

Something to keep me untouchable like LFM for the bitches, something like Open Windows for the teachers, EST and maybe some cops for him, and some DHEAS for me. Suggestions? I will be wearing a long fitted casual but slinky maxi dress, boobs apparent but tastefully restrained, sensible lower heels that would never impair my walking skills. My outfit is nonchalantly sexy, still respectable for 11am, with less tattoos than usual showing. Should I steer more LFM or TH or OW? If I go OW, more people will talk to me, so it will be more obvious whom I will not be talking to. Same with TH, right? But doesn't H&S soothe the bitches? I don't actually want to talk to any bitches, I want to shun/unshun/shun them, like Dwight from The Office. Except I'm not 12, even though at least one of them acted like a middle school mean girl. I'm thinking TH plus EST plus cops plus DHEAS, but that's a lot of stuff. I think what matters most is that I'm comfortable and composed, and able to get out of my own head and be present for my son. (My son who loves lavender.)

 

What would you comfortable, composed, untouchable yet somehow approachable, funny popular vixens wear, phero-wise? Dom is not an option, there would be blood. I need to above stabbing people, both before noon and at school functions.

Holy crap, you have a lot to deal with tomorrow! How about Popularity Potion so everyone likes you but isn't jealous of you, some extra Est for the ex, and some cops so you feel sexy and confident. I love H&S the most out of all of the social / bonding pheros, but if you don't want to talk to people, I wouldn't wear it in that situation. Every time I wear it, I have long, deep conversations, even with people who I am not close friends. Just be yourself, focus on your son, and you'll have an amazing day. You've got this! 

I would like a Coco Chrissy's please. Thank you! : ) 

I didn't check my answers yet, but I totally thought that Delicai was a new version of Special Delivery.  Obviously, it isn't, but it sounds delicious! 

So, usually I adore this for the scent, but I have a bad cold and can't smell much of anything at the moment. I will say that this saved the day today, as I was in a foul mood upon waking this morning (damn PMS). I slathered this on and the Balm Bomb did the trick within 10 minutes and had totally mellowed me out. I'm amazed that even though I couldn't smell the scemt, the pheros worked regardless.

I also got Teddy Man 2 at the same time, to compare.

 

ETA - following your link. 

So B2.2 is actually the softer, gentler one? I imagined Teddy as having the softer arrangement... I guess not...?

I do, however, enjoy both of my purchases today, Teddy Man 2 & Elementary 6.

I haven't used B2.2 much, just Teddy BB, which I like.  You'll have to see which one works best for you. 

The artwork is beautiful! I especially like the Evening Breeze label. I can't wait to see what is in Deliciae!
