A whimsical take on the classic Carnival prize: a unisex blend of tangy red currant and juicy tangerine EO swims in a watery enclosure of aquatic eucalyptus, sea salt and crystalline white musk. And in tribute to the fun times we’ve all had trying to win a goldfish we’ve added a dose of uplifting Alpha-Androstenol to the mix, an attraction and THE mood elevating pheromone, said to create a friendly approachable impression, and can make the wearer seem less intimidating and more approachable. Encourages empathy and romantic feelings, creates an aura of youth and health, an impression of reproductive fitness, increases chattiness and friendliness from both sexes. May be worn by both women and men.

 

ORANGE (TANGERINE) ~ Strong 'magnet' to attract men; eternal love, marriage, fruitfulness, thoughtfulness, happiness, tribute.
RED CURRANT ~ Aids success in love affairs, and a magical representation of blood.
WHITE MUSK ~ Self confidence and strength, sexual attractant, heightens passions and arousal.
SEA SALT ~ protection, purification, grounding, feminine energy. Resurrection, baptism.
EUCALYPTUS ~ Healing.

A tradition much beloved by us here at LPMP is the Fall Carnival: a final farewell to the carefree joys of Summer - as the light begins to wane earlier each day and the weather turns brisk - it’s one last time for frolic and fun. Our 2016 Carnival Collection pays tribute to the sights, sounds, and smells of an old-fashioned traveling carnival...its’ colorful characters and delicious treats, all the unique delights one can only experience amidst the excitement on a September eve, with a chill in the air and the haunting music of a distant calliope...

 

 

I had informed my parents that I would win a goldfish this year at the Ring Toss, and my father teased me every chance he would get, but I was determined.  I even practiced with horseshoes, although it’s not quite the same thing. But I wanted a goldfish so badly, to put in a bowl and watch it swim around, sprinkle its’ food in and watch it dart toward the flakes drifting like snow.  To watch the gills move and the scales sparkle, fish were so fascinating to me. And as we lived so far from the ocean, a goldfish would be the closest I came to the creatures of the sea.

 

“Goldfish live in regular ol’ water,” my brother archly informed me.  “There’s nothin’ special ‘bout ‘em!”

But he was wrong, my fish would be special, because I would win it.  Who knows, I might even teach it tricks. I bet goldfish are really smart, but I was going to examine every single one, because the one I would win had to special.  I even dreamed I went swimming with my new goldfish, around and around in the bowl. You might say my brain was fishy...but it won me the best prize ever!
