  1. Just as soon as *ring ring* sounds better to me than *bang bang*JOKING! I'm going to be hitting the websites and filling in more complaints and eventually wander by my post office and talk to the manager again.
  2. O M G. I absolutely can not believe this. After filing reports, putting that note inside my mailbox, and personally talking to my carrier about not leaving packages I came home today, during the big WET snowstorm to find...a package stuffed HALF into my mailbox. A very large manilla shipping envelope, to be specific. Because it was narrow enough to fit into the mailbox the carrier stuffed it into the mailbox. But because it is twice as long as the mailbox half of it was sticking completely out of the box. Again in full view of the entire neighborhood and anyone wandering down the street. And because the thing wasn't /in/ the mailbox it was SOAKED. This was a christmas present sent from a friend in England. Very clearly and distinctly marked on the front with "PRINTED PAPER". Inside are souvenier programs and lord knows what other valuable and irreplaceable items that were my /gift/. SOAKED. I'm completely beside myself. I need a gun.

    Phooey. As much as I want to love it - it turns really weird on me. Almost plastic? No cake at all. I want cake!
  4. I get wildly varied reactions from women to my use of coplins. Some bristle while others possitively glomp onto me. Never can tell.
  5. If this were a color it would be a light, pale green. It has an aquatic note, definitely. On me it smells...kind of like yarrow maybe. The 2 guys I let sniff the bottle both immediately applied some to their wrists before I had the chance to tell them it is a GIRL scent. Well, maybe it is not. They certainly liked it. I admit I went looking for a hit from one guy. I put this on the back of my hands and made sure to pet the lapels of his fuzzy jacket, casually picking lint, as we talked so he'd get a big whiff. Yeah, his talk pretty much immediately switched to flirtation and...bondage. Think I'm calling that a hit.
  6. I like. Make more! I can't really describe it. A warm fruity/dark berry and a sparkle of sweet on top? No dirt on me.
  7. Dirty, Sweet, and Figgy. I tried a sniffy, LOVE IT...and it is out. Dagnabbit. Who knew I'd like fig? Money Fairy, where art thou? I wonder if I'll like Garland...

    I am all about the food lately. Think it has anything to do with the new exercise program? LAM original Drac's Teething Potion (AWESOME SAUCE!) Sugared Gingerbread Buns of Cinn Winter Solstice 09
  9. I know, right?! Stupid carrier. Might as well have left it on the sidewalk! She's done this before but I guess that box was small enough and light enough that no one bothered to take it. (And/or I got to it first.) This was a substitute carrier. My other carrier comes up the stairs and leaves things by my door. Still not secure, but at least not obvious from the street or as convient to steal. I'm going to file a claim today and tell them not to leave anything that can't fit inside the mailbox ever again. Would have filed earlier but it has been a crazy bad week. *sigh* I hope out of all of this the thief will give the perfume to someone who will become an instant addict.
  10. Postal carrier said she left it on top of the row of mailboxes out front.
  11. I'm having a good cry right now. My package is MIA! I got the shipping notice and that site says my package was delievered at 4pm yesterday while I was out with my friend. There is no package here. I'm so upset!! This isn't the ladies fault, but I am desperately asking them to NOT SHIP anything else I may still have on order. I am //really// hoping I still have stuff on order. I have no idea what happened to the package. *sob*
  12. 'luna65' "Just the word pumpkin seems to enduce mass hysteria." Too true! LOL. And here I thought it drove men wild. Or is that the point? OMG I want everything. So not fair. The winter chai sounds delic. Eye of the Storm, Tabby, Empress, Fallen Angel... gah! New rule: can not spend more than my car payment. *cry*
  13. I think the descrips of the PEs are up. Yay! Unfortunately I have no idea what orange blossom, orchid, freesia, or jasmine smell like other than "floral". Florals don't tend to work on me. And what the heck is benzoin? Think I'm going to be a Sweater girl. Still curious about Tabby and the rest. Between the new ones, the PEs, the ones I haven't tried yet, and the sugars I still want to mix...I need the lottery fairy in a serious way!
  14. After all the rave reviews I want to throw in my request for Pumpkin Shake Rattle n Roll in some form at some point. Ta!
  15. I wanted to add in here: I've noticed that right at the start of my cycle I am extra sensitive to my LPs. Can only wear the mildest scents. I wonder if there is a correlation to any of the scents I reach for when I am in the part of my cycle where I'm 'fertile'? Would probably work about as well as the 'rythmn method' (aka never trust it) but it would be interesting to see. I do recall that there is some research that points to women enjoying the stank of a man while they are fertile even if all other days they want to duct tape him and toss him into the car wash... Am I repeating myself? Sorry. *sigh* perfume is sooooo complicated! Edit: I'm going to have to shoot this cycle/scent theory down right here. I've had a very stressful couple weeks and did not notice any change in my perfume choices. Go figure!
  16. I am stalking for the descriptions too. I don't have the daring to buy bottles unsniffed and unknown. The ladies always make beautiful potions, but not everything is beautiful on me. That being said, I also want them to have a chance for some trick & treating for themselves this weekend. Post some pictures! Djac - :Ladybird-hug:
  17. One of my friends is trying to get pregnant. I've been curious if pheromones can help her with this. While I have heard that exposure to male pheromones can aid in regulating a woman's cycle I had not heard specifically about this aspect so I've been doing a little google digging. Short version: Yes. Regular exposure to male pheromones can make the woman's body more receptive. Slightly longer version: Speculation that couples who are only in close contact during the 'window of opportunity' may be missing this aspect and have more difficulty. Problem: They do not mention which of the many male pheromones they are talking about so I don't know whether to suggest my friend try Teddy Man or say... Miss Right Now. Hrumph. I suppose keeping one of her hubby's dirty t-shirts around might work, but I don't want to speculate on whether that will make her think of cuddling or of him not picking up his laundry. Quote of specific section of the article: "Recent work on human pheromones has turned up some interesting effects they may have on pregnancy. It is not unusual in our busy society, for a couple who desire a baby to keep track of where the woman is in her cycle, and plan to have intercourse “at the right time,” yet, despite no physical problems, many of these couples still fail to conceive. Recent work on human pheromones suggests that this is not enough. Apparently the woman’s body may need continued exposure to the man’s pheromones, such as would be acheived by the close contact during coitus, several times a week during the last two weeks of her cycle to make implantation more likely. Again, evolutionarily, this would make sense in terms of signaling the presence of a pair-bonded male who could provide her and her developing child with enough food to survive the pregnancy. It would, then, make sense that lack of continued pheromonal stimulation (as in when the couple go back to their busy schedule until next month at the appointed time or in a “one night stand”) would signal the absence of a male that could mean increased hardship and lower chances of survival if pregnancy were to result. However, in the interest of passing on one’s genes, evolutionarily, the possibility of pregnancy is not totally ruled out, just diminished." - J.Stein Carter Link: http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio105/sexual.htm Disclaimer: I do not find this article to be presented in an entirely scientific-minded manner. Makes it easier to read, but does color the findings so please keep this in mind. Ta da!

    After all the talk about this scent I had to try it. (I simply haven't had the time to give my samples the attention they deserve and they backlog!) Today I put this on and it simply smells to me like 'fire'. Yep. Not the smoke but the fire. Could be the cinnamon or the mahogany, but not specifically spicy. If it is the mahogany then I really like this wood. Good staying power. I'd say I definitely like this one, but can pass on getting a full bottle. Nov Edit: Today I had this with me at work and smeared a little on a piece of paper so I could leave it with someone. Surprised to find that on the paper it smelled like bubblegum. Sweet pink gum. When I put it on my hand *boom* instant cinnamon and cedar. 'Bout an hour later I brought the paper down to the lunch room and half the table said, 'cinnamon' and half 'bubblegum'. (Specifically double bubble gum.) Weird. Dec Edit: I said I wasn't getting a bottle, but so many people at work are so fascinated by the shifting scent of this that I've burned through 2 trial vials and went for the upgrade. And sometimes I feel like smelling like fire!

    I have permission to squee. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Apparently in a conversation I said the words, "All you need to hook a man is to smell like cinnamon buns. ...Or donutttttsss" (that last part in the Homer Simpson voice.) And SOMEONE , in a very thoughtful voice replied "cinnamon buns...?" AND NOW I HAS IT! omg SO yummy! I've worn it socially for two days now and it is a /wonderful/ scent when there is a chill in the air! Lots of "You smell so good!" and, as I mentioned in another thread, "You smell like breakfast. And I mean that on multiple levels." LOL! I don't find it a strong scent, but apparently it throws further than I imagined! The cinnamon, on me, is not an aggressive note. It this warmth nested in vanilla & sugar with maybe a bread note in there like in Wheat Siren? I'm not very good at identifying scents. I was a little worried my skin might rev up spice notes, but the cinnamon remains beautifully snuggly. Not sticky buns. Buns of Cinn! LOL *head down inside of shirt* Mmm I love foody scents and I'm in serious huff with myself.
  23. It's that or you're hot no matter what you smell like! Are you just missing the *clang* as the men walk into things and when you turn around you don't see them because they are lying unconcious behind a can display or something? Are they all hiding in the freezer section until they can cool down? Are you wearing a ring? Just how big is your hubby? TALL. I mean TALL!
  24. I have a theory, which is mine. (Not about dinosaurs for those who caught that ref.) Women find it far easier to strike up a conversation with another female than men do. Your LAMs contain pheros that broadcasts girly+happy. You smell like a positive person. Women respond to that as someone they want to connect with. The men folk may be waiting for more of an invitation to approach so they don't appear Creepy Stalker. Men are always wary of rejection. You're most probably NOT sending out the single-n-looking vibe. Plus you're swarmed by other women! Men can't approach a swarm! LOL
  25. Poor sickiepoo. *tucks in blanket* *chicken soups* *gives remote* Y'all feel better, k?
