@madamceladon

Ooh that book looks lovely!
It's fantastic!.
MissBattleaxe · 22/09/2021 08:34

@artdeclover Oh thank you so much! I did an Instagram live with Sarah and Brooke last night. It was my first time doing one and it felt weird. Hope you like the book. What we're most proud of is that none of the brands in the book knew we were writing so it's completely our choices. I can't stop looking at it.

MissBattleaxe · 22/09/2021 08:35

@madamceladon Go on, treat yourself! The writers are lovely people.😊

Lol @MissBattleaxe I think I will 😀

Artdecolover · 22/09/2021 19:05

I'm loving the book 📖 😍 @MissBattleaxe

It's been a pretty chappy day here tbh
The tiles hsve all had to ripped off my bathroom wall as the company aren't happy with way they were put on 😒

So probably wont all be fine otherwise til next Friday. Its like living in a squat atm 😫

Had my dermatology appointment earlier. I'm having a mole removed so got that to look forward too as well

Sigh

Sote Shazam!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 22/09/2021 19:13

Here you all are! I lost the thread (and the plot). SOTD Chanel 19. Book looks great @MissBattleaxe!

FragrantlyScent · 24/09/2021 20:44

SOTD yesterday was Guerlain Mitsouko.

SOTD for today was Estée Lauder Youth-Dew.

Haven't read all the thread updates as its been a bit crazy here, so apologies if I've missed anything.

Congratulations @MissBattleaxe on the publication of your book! 🍾 🎉 It looks fabulous! Smile

Sorry to hear your bathroom refurb has hit a snag, @Artdecolover. A few years ago our bathroom renovation over-ran too, so you have my sympathy for how frustrating it can be. Hope it gets finished quickly for you, and sending calming vibes. Smile

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 24/09/2021 22:42

Congrats missBattleaxe will be asking for a copy for christmas :D

Oh, @Artdecolover Flowers Hope your son (and you) are OK and everything works out smoothly with the workmen. 🤞

SOTD: Guerlain Samsara.

Just seen that John Lewis has done a ‘Scent Series Discovery Box’. There’s 16 perfume samples by: Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Creed, Juliette has a Gun, Parle Moi De Parfum and Maison Crivelli. It’s £50 which is a bit pricey for me for 1.5-2ml samples but I might consider it if it happens to go on sale!

SOTD Kiehl’s Musk. Yesterday was YSL Libre.

Hope your son is okay, @Artdecolover.

Artdecolover · 27/09/2021 07:34

Ds2 is covid positive :(
Not a surprise - his class are dropping like flies atm
So the rest of us have pcr tests arriving today
Sotd 4160 captured By Candlelight
The tiler is happy to carry on working thank god 🙏

FragrantlyScent · 27/09/2021 12:30

SOTN last night - pp Tom Ford Amber Absolute.

SOTD - YSL Opium.

Am going away on a short impromptu break today, so currently rushing around packing. Found it hard to choose which perfume to take, so have narrowed it down to three possibilities - Guerlain Samsara, pp MM BTF, and pp TF Amber Absolute - and will probably pack all of them.

That's good news about the tiler. Wishing your son a speedy recovery, @Artdecolover.

Artdecolover · 27/09/2021 12:35

Bon voyage @fragrantlyscent x

My pp candle, lotions etc have arrived...all very nice
The candle is packaged very nicely would make a great gift 🎁

Artdecolover · 27/09/2021 12:36
