New thread .

SOTD Cardinal, Heeley. Dry, woody start opening up to deep warming incense. Lovely scent for the crusp cold weather on another blimmin day of working from home. Team leaders at work are throwing around ‘welfare’ ideas like virtual kareoke that make me want to acquire the ability to hibernate.

Sotd Avon timeless

😂 @Shrillharridan.
I’m probably overdosing ...
Yes, dd2 loves his pj’s too. He’s even been known to walk the dog in them.
Cardinal sounds really good in cold weather❄️

I remember hearing too much lavender can have the opposite effect!
Magnesium flakes in the bath are my go to, abs feather and down sleep spray smells amazing
I get to leave the house tomorrow (shielding) for a blood test so big decision what perfume to wear

I'm on Epsom salts in the bath
Lavender sleep spray
Neom sleep candle
Variable results

Really @QueenPawPaws?
I might mix it up a little ( the excitement) by putting Sandalwood & Rose oils in my bath. I’m wide awake, so is ds1 ( who exercises in the middle of the night) & dd2 ( who’s been in bed all day).
And if I read one more smug thread about parents & their wonderful children that never become depressed, due to their brilliant parenting, I will lob a brick at them 🤯

I'm a night owl but have insomnia so at least I don't mind being up late
Swapped to a candle with a crackling wick which is relaxing although the cat is glaring at it

People lie.
Don't believe everything you read/see on fb/mn.
Its mostly edited highlights ime.

Feeling rather low today so I'm going to go for ACDD I think.

AG cloud for me

@QueenPawPaws I really liked Cloud but had a real job trying to get Sales Assistants to let me try it! First one asked me what I usually wear and I said "everything". She then told me I wouldn't like it.
I insisted on trying it and ended up liking it.

The next time I asked to try an Ariana Grande scent, this time it was Thank U Next, a different SA in a different shop again told me I wouldn't like it and that it was designed to appeal to 17 year olds!

Bloody cheek. Both fabulous perfumes IMO.

PS I am 50.

@Shrill thank you. Laddm sounds a great choice for a chilly day.

I posted on the thread about the increasing depression in kids but it seems to have been pulled it or it's not loading .

Dd is happier today because she has two exams ... rather contrarily. Doing nothing or empty revision days are not good ideas at the moment.

I also felt I needed something punchy so Marina Barcenilla's Patchouli Clouds.
I've also inhaled a Cadburys Caramel Egg & a Choux Bun with Creme patisserie and feel a bit sick 🤮

Love AG cloud!
teta ds1 has assessments next week so is revising hard atm.
He likes to have a plan

SOTD Black Opium. 💐 for everyone struggling. I made a handwritten list of things I am looking forward to to try and keep me going. It made me sad that they were all so simple and that I wouldn’t have given a second thought to this time last year.

Sotd EL modern muse nuit

I'm burning this today. If hozier take me to church video had a smell, it would be this
Smoke, incense, spices. Amazing. No perfume as I got transfixed by the candle

Ooooohhh

All beauty has some MAnceras at lower prices if anyoens interested, not that i am encourgaing you AT ALL.........

Ooh I was looking at mancera holiday I think it's called...

Ooh, I love that song too. My kids are mightily amused by my song choices.
I will have to look up that candle.

I'm teaching ds1 to make cottage pie for his D of E skill. Its now in the oven and we're all starving.

Sotd is Mito. My last ever drop💦

I'm having a mad amazon week...
I've ordered a karcher window vac, new bath bat, breadmaker and printer.
