Sometimes it's so funny when I read your posts and confuse myself! When I first read this, I was thinking what the hell is she talking about putting her perfume on for the day, it's almost 8pm! So silly! Sometimes I wonder about myself

Haha! It's 10:50AM here... ok I got a bit of a sleep in But really it's only 9:50 in my head, daylight savings just says otherwise

Ok, all these reviews on Sneaky Clean are making me think this is the one for me to wear today. I have a trial vial already but a bottle is on the way so I can slather on the trial vial with guilt-free abandon!!

Oh my.... Chrissy, that is a MASSIVE order!!

I too have ordered Cherry Rose, I can't wait for it to arrive... but boosting it with Treasured Hearts is a neat idea!

I always tell everyone that we load the cart conservatively so that we don't oversell an item. There's other avenues of sale for us that are not reflected in the cart numbers and we have to take those into consideration, such as write-ins in the custom/beta areas, invoicing, wholesale sales, Amazon sales, etc. We try to leave ourselves room for these and we do multiple recounts of stock before something is sold out.

This can be a VERY good thing for those of us that think they have missed out on something - it's like getting a second chance :)

Cuteness? Surprise? Oh I can't wait!

I gave a small spray sample of this to a friend of mine and she loves the lavender smell. She says a few sprays on her pillow helps her sleep on nights when she gets insomnia.

I just checked out of curiosity and the cart is back up to 8 bottles!! Mara is toying with us!

Well the berry settles down and the jasmine comes out softly towards the end. I like it in all its incarnations, to me it's just a little bit more foody than a straight pink sugar scent. I'm going to give it a wear tomorrow

This may sound obvious, but this seriously smells like sugar. The granular sweetness has been encapsulated so well, it's amazing. I love the fluffiness and lightness and just sheer deliciousness of this. It really would layer so well with so many things.

What about SS4W? Or Lace?

lol I went with True Confessions! TC has been a bit unloved in my arsenal, I thought I should give myself motivation to test it out. So now I have a spray A Lick of Pink with True Confessions. I think I'll call it.... Truly Licked

ETA: Wow, the berries certainly come out at first in this form! I'm interested to see how it morphs!

I have UNs of both of them! Maybe I should give them a try... on the other hand, I boost so many things with those two already, maybe I should pull out one of the UNs I don't use very often instead...

This one isn't great on me. The resins and sandalwood are just not nice to my nose, and it goes very perfumey. It's actually making me want to sneeze. I will say for it though, it is a very strong scent - even a little is quite powerful!

My first impression of this smell is I didn't like it - the lavender made it smell a bit cheap air freshener to me. But I like the way it has melded on my skin, and something in it is reminding me of a nice male cologne smell. I will need to wear this for intent I think - I'm having trouble determining if this is relaxing me or if it's the apple schnapps I'm sipping on!!

At first when I put this on I just get hit with the cocoa. It is very powdery, like smelling actual cocoa powder in the tin. I hope as it dries down the violet will come out more, as I don't like smelling chocolate on my skin.

This one is going right into my arsenal along with my other pinky scents. It is the pink sugar smell so many of us adore, with a bit more of a citrusy note to it, possibly from the berries, and a very subtle floral underneath it. In the oil form it is quite similar to Pink Sugar, and I wonder how it would fare if I made it up into a spray. I'm tempted to try it out - now what phero blend should I pair it with? Hmmm...

I too am trying to save for phero month. But I am eyeing off those body lotions and soaps pretty closely...

Uh-oh..try this...it is fun to browse the archive!!

Browsing the archive is just dangerous for me - I see too many things I want!!

Oh, you just made my day!! I have a 17 year old, and a 15 year old! My hubby and I have been together since high school, but I had my first baby when I was 20.

That's so sweet I adore love stories like that...

it isn't like the sciences and academia are free of frauds and other problems either.

Hells yes... just see my journal for plenty of evidence to support that hypothesis...

Pheromas are coming!!

I wonder if the fact that we have both been clinically depressed before has something to do with our sensitivities?

Hey, me too - depression and an a-nol lightweight! How interesting....

It's very interesting. I wonder if there's more info on the Internet?? I will look...

How interesting. I'm also very sensitive to caffeine and such stimulants. Even black tea is too much caffeine for me. I just figured I was sensitive all around, to both chemicals and emotions (which is really just chemicals...)

Oh Calii, what has happened to your avi? I can't see it!!

So... turns out I posted this in the wrong area This is the review I wrote for orchid musk... but it was actually exotic musk I was smelling... I should have paid more attention to the label!!

Of the three musks I've tried (Exotic, BodaciouS, and Vintage) I think I like this one least... that being said it's still a very close tie. This one is just a little more flowery and sweeter, but for some reason I don't like it as much - it detracts from the original character of the musk for me. Still digging it though.

I've also mixed this in with an unscented sorbolene base lotion and it's lovely. Very sweet and subtle. When I want a bigger hit of musk I reach for my BodaciouS or Vintage.

Thanks Syn. Words of wisdom! We didn't end up talking at all. Of course, I was all geared up to talk, (as evidenced by my mini rant above, lol!), but he came home and actually just did some stuff. I was too shocked to talk to him after that. And aside from his odd behaviour, (helping), I think I was more affected by the EP than he was! Or maybe he began helping me because he somehow intuited (because of the EP) that I was feeling frustrated about the housework? I dunno. Nothing has been said as of yet.

 

And now, reading your post while I have a cooler head, I think you're right, and need to rephrase and redirect my anger and frustration about the whole thing. We will talk. But I need to be calmer than I was prepared to be yesterday. When I got up and saw that he had failed to do the one job I had asked him to do, (scoop the litter), and the effect it had, (Eggers peed *AND* pooped on the wood floor in living room, 'cause he's EXTREMELY fussy about litter box being spotless), I felt so effing angry and deflated I didn't know which end was up. Because it meant that not only could I not feed the hungry cats until the litter box was clean, which meant I had to clean it - along with the Eggers mess on the living room floor - of course, it all fell to me. And that's infuriating, because shit like that happens all the time. It was not the right time to talk to him - at least I was in my right mind enough to know that!

 

I was so mad, I actually sent a sarcastic text thanking him for not scooping the litter, which prompted Eggers to make a mess on the living room floor. And I also thanked him for adding more chores to my already chore-filled day. He telephoned immediately from work, and apologized, and suggested I re-post the little chore chart I'd made a long time ago, and had had posted on the fridge, and which I'd eventually taken down because while it was a really nice decoration, it didn't prompt him to do any more housework than he already does.

 

Anyway, the upshot is that I have a feeling the Empathy Potion affected me more than him. But he is aware that I'm not impressed with him right now. And my sarcastic text (childish as it was) kind of tipped him off to that, which normally wouldn't prompt him do do any chores when he got home, which is why I kind of wonder if the EP did have a slight effect on him.

 

Ugh. It's an on-going issue that will require on-going treatment. For. The. Rest. Of. My. Life. Good thing we don't have kids, or I'd go mad.

EWWW. My flatmate used to do that with her cat and I HATED it. It was just like... there is a litter tray right there, ok it's been used already but come on, you couldn't just reuse it?! Cats are funny that way.

But it sounds as though he is willing to try, with the telephoning and making a suggestion to fix things (reposting the chore chart), which is a good sign. Now it's just a case of harnessing that desire in the best possible way.... and rewarding him when he gets it right

I like the unisex scent of this. When I smelled it in the vial I thought it might be a bit too much on the masculine side. On first application, it does seem a bit masculine, but after wearing it a while, the mannishness of it softens - not too much - and it actually begins to smell "unisex". It has great throw, I noticed. I had only applied a quarter-sized dot on the back of my hand, but I could smell it very clearly above the other perfumes I'd tested on my other hand and arm, (of course, this is the day the sampler arrived! Lol!).

 

I haven't had a chance to try the mix for the phero yet, though I'm considering trying it today. I need to talk to BF about his role in helping around the house, (which, aside from mowing the lawn when the mood strikes him, he generally does not). I have begun to feel completely snowed-under by the mountain of everyday things that need to be taken care of, and I cannot do it all alone, nor should I have to, since the last time I checked, he was a grown-up. I need to talk to him about this, and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to test Empathy Potion out in this situation, so that perhaps he will be more likely to understand how hurt I am by his non-involvement, and how resentful I am beginning to feel toward him because of his profound laziness. Will Empathy Potion help him get a "glimpse" of how completely and utterly frustrated I feel about all this? I mean, is that what it's supposed to do?

Oh... sorry but I read this and something in my head screams "No!!" Please understand, I mean this in the friendliest way and only trying to help... I'm not a relationship expert and certainly not an expert on your relationship, so please ignore me if I'm way off the mark here, but somehow I feel that trying to make him feel/understand that you are hurt and resentful is only going to make him feel either guilty or defensive or both. We all want our emotions to be validated, that's only natural, but trying to force your annoyance onto him may come across only as you being insistent on making him admit that he is substandard in some way... something none of us like to do. Men can be very proud and their egos easily damaged, and often this brings out the opposite outcome to what you're going for. If it were me I would focus on the behaviour itself and ways to solve the problem, not risk sending the message that you feel less attracted to him and find him less of a man because he is flawed as a person, as that is how it may be interpreted. (Then again, given my history of screwing up relationships, perhaps I'm not the best person to be giving advice on this... )

Edit: To clarify. I'm not suggesting you shouldn't express your emotions to him... just try to make it about "his behaviour" not "him". Take away the blame/forcing him to admit wrong part of the wording. "I feel snowed under because there is a lot of work to do and I feel I'm not getting enough help" rather than "you're lazy and don't help me enough".
