 Perfume Junky



This year I have got some perfume hauls.

Really excited as one of my goals/wish lists was to start a perfume collection.

I studied collectable perfumes a little during a detox for something to take my mind off alcohol.

For a perfume to be worth something in a collection it needs to be limited or unique.

My journey now is to try a lot of perfume and discover new favourites.

I imagine limited and collectible perfumes could turn up along this journey so these would be worth collecting.

The fun side of this therefore is to just use and enjoy everything I recieve unless it is collectible then you don't even take the wrappings off ~ sounds extreme but if you are using the uncollectable one it doesn't matter.

(I have a Shalimar box that might be collectible, I got it from a budget makeup shop. I used some of the perfume though.  I could get a bottle and replace it if it was worth something.  As this was one of my first attempts at collecting keeping it anyway.  I don't think it was in plastic when I purchased it anyway.)

I already love this perfume as I got it in an Elizabeth Arden free gift promotion.

These types of perfume are possibly more for daytime or to create an ambience.

This whole experience is very creative and poetic.

Having a lot of fun as this is all I'm doing having some fun.

Couldn't help realise it matched a choker I have made myself.

It is inspired by nature and one of my favourite projects.

Hope to get back into designing.

I qualified in design at University but went into sales then teaching.

Really happy with this first perfume and how it matches one of my chokers.

Hope you enjoy this new journey and you discover some new perfumes too.

Will be lovely if we find some collectibles too.

 A SUMMER HOLIDAY PARTY ABROAD This idea is something just about everyone wants I would guess.  The dream destinations will obviously vary, but it is one of the reasons we work hard so we can travel to sunnier climes than Britain and have well-earned rest and luxury. Saturday Food The idea is either: 70's buffet party, which could include Swedish food.    Not sure if Ikea is back fully yet, but when it is there are loads of party ideas available.  I actually once impressed a snobby foody by making  hors d'œuvre  from Ikea products, shocked myself but it did.  Suppose I did get Home Economics at school.  Until Ikea is back you can just get whatever there is at the supermarket. Then serve with a 70's alcohol like Mateus or Cinzano or of course Swedish vodka.  Found two beers at Ikea so maybe it will be back soon.  We used to buy a lot of their alcohol. pinterest.com/saphireblack/homemaker-tips/an-august-summer-holiday-abroad-party/ or...

A September Island Holiday I got this idea from Japanology. Then thought of Island Holidays around the world. I find this subject a challenge as someone like me isn't supposed to dream of holidaying beyond designated holiday destinations within my class or status. I moved from working class to middle class and not sure what I am now. Have studied this one as for instance Japan is classed as an Island which I didn't know. Britain is an Island but I did that with British June. Ireland is an Island independent of Britain. Decided to feature this instead. Another place I'd like to visit.  A tarot friend of yore recommended Dublin and The Crowley deck ~ she was right about the Tarot deck. Also, we love Irish coffee ~ you can also make calypso coffee. Saturday food Japanese or Hawaiin Japanese  I would recommend Wagamma, which is a Japanese restaurant or Hawaiin https://uk.pinterest.com/saphireblack/a-september-island-holiday/saturday-hawaiin/ If you are struggling to get food yo...

 November Fancy Dress Party You can go as whatever you want.   I have put a few ideas for you as inspiration.   It is a 20's style fancy dress party where you choose your own costume. November 30th and December 1st Saturday Food 60'S CHICKEN AND CHIPS You can serve it in a basket. (if you are slimming, we oven roast a chicken in olive oil and serve with low fat oven chips). If you aren't dieting you could get Kentucky fried chicken or do rotiserie chicken coated in sugar and fries. There are a lot of costumes ideas loaded into pinterest fashion calendar or you might be inspired by some of the films. Saturday Night Cowboys and Indians This is my favourite Carry on film https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/214132157275587780/ It was my favourite Carry on film when I was little and still is. I love how the women of the Wild West stood up to men. They were the original empowered feminist maybe. Realise this film shaped my life and came in subliminly when I was up against im...
