hangin in there

i keep trying to do stuff to diffuse stress or do self-care but then one little thing happens and i get all wound up and nervous again. I did wash and dry my hair and do actual makeup today and have a decent outfit on (navy corduroy pants, teal cardigan, clorful blouse) (makeup: slip tease in lowkey, kohl eyeliner, cityscapes shadow). I actually spent wayyyyyyyyy too much at target on the weekend - 2 shirts 2 pants (plus a sleep shirt that would be wearable in public, it's a lavender sweater that drapes pretty, nobody would ever know it's a sleepy shirt :) ) and i also got a fragrance set - even though with family sensory issues i generally avoid fragrances except hair products & lavender essential oil on my bracelet.

But my lil fragrance set is Queen Bee, FireCracker & Wild Child.

Fragrance notes of black currant, peony and amber make our Queen Bee rollerball perfume vibrant + bold with a touch of sass. /fresh

Fragrance notes of bergamot, coconut and bamboo make our Wild Child perfume mischievous + bright with looks to match.
Scent: Earthy

Fire cracker has no online description but i remember reading the 'notes' and it sounded like i'd like it. Vanilla & cinnamon or something. EDIT: It's "playful and vibrant with plenty of spark, with lotus, starfruit & vetiver." It kind of reminds me of cologne - prob the vetiver? - but oh well. ALSO i think they labelled these wrong, QB seems more earthy and ambery and Wild Child seems more fresh.


While i'm just talking about nice smells, i also sometimes wear this BreathTaking thing by Pacifica - including cardamon, vanilla, pepper and warm spices infused with rose quartz
