At 8p, I got the bright idea to test whether my Middle Eastern perfumes from last year got any better w/time. An hour later, took exfoliating gloves to both arms. Now I am laying in bed, smelling like 3 different just okay oud perfumes. Mistakes were made. #perfumesky #fragrancesky

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

Okay but please tell me I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t allowed to watch smurfs or snorks because they were “demonic”? I don’t want to be old AND alone in this experience.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but The Wiz is going to be re-released in theaters May 18.

#SOTD is Chloe Nomade. For me, Nomade is to spring/summer, as Burberry Goddess Intense is to fall/winter. My minimal thought comfort scent.

This is why Sinners hit me hard. My mom passed right before the pandemic, after a long battle w/MS. I moved a lot for work and she couldn’t travel. She demanded cremation because she “wanted to go where my baby go.” I’m so happy she did that bc having her ashes brought me peace in so many ways.

Oh…well that clears it up. Ono has hopped around a bit, but I couldn’t figure out where UF fit.

I’m excited for this! Living Single, Golden Girls, and South Side are my top 3 shows of all time.

So yea, I said no more samples but I fell down a rabbit hole of vintage perfumes. And then Francesca Bianchi 😬 Haven’t done a full wear but I think Mitsouko will be my warm weather stand in for Jubilation 25. Also Rochas Femme is really nice. #fragrancesky #perfumesky

It pains me to say this, but this did something for me.

🤣🤣🤣

Love this 🤌🏾

Screeches & The Herb

Okay #perfumesky #fragrancesky help me find the scent of my imagination. I have searched fragrantica's scent finder for hours, and "smells similar" on there and parfumo. Looking for a lighter, spring version of Amouage Jubilation 25. A lemon/citrus top, chypre like with noticeable rose. Suggestions?

A co-worker insisted I see Sinners in IMAX and said he was looking forward to my thoughts. Little does he know, I am going to eat an entire hour of his day tomorrow with my thoughts. His cubicle is outside our boss office...and I do not care...I will shut his door for him!

Picked up Lady Day from @immortalperfumes.bsky.social today! Can’t wait to wear this out next week. Get into this packaging ❤️ And with this, no perfume purchases-sample or bottle-until it’s time to restock my fall faves…I need an accountability partner 😬 #fragrancesky #perfumesky

The plea is bad enough, but the backstory about the new staffing of the federal prosecutor's office is alarming. The feds moving in this way is why I keep reminding people that living in a "blue state" will not be the flex it used to be (never was to some of us).

Sinners made something click for me and now I need an impromptu session with my therapist. The concept of death as a release, welcomed in some instances. A release for the one passing and their loved ones. Got me thinking about my parents’ very specific end of life and funeral directives to me.

#sinners

Caught the last IMAX showing of Sinners. In a sold out theatre in white ass Seattle, worked out that I ended up seated between 2 other Black folks also there solo. A time was had. And as I left, the car parked next to me happened to be a sista and we had to do a quick debrief in the parking garage.

Leaving work early to finally see Sinners. As I leave the theatre, I will unmute all the movie related words I muted to avoid spoilers and think pieces 😩

I made it to April before breaking my 2025 resolution of no full bottle blind buys. I’m actually proud of myself because I was tempted the second week of January! (It was Nishane Ambra Calabria) #perfumesky #fragrancesky

So…does big pharm have their version of Luigi?

Co-worker and I talking over lunch. Sharpe came up and I commented about the gross age difference, and her age when they met. Why this man say the age stuff don’t matter “bc Belichick”, and the real issue is that the accuser is on OF and thus must have trapped and taken advantage of Sharpe.

I’ve been assuming it’s the younger generations. Because ain’t no way my fellow millennials doing all this when we spent junior and high school unknowingly chatting with pdf files all over the globe on AIM/Yahoo/ICQ. Have we not learned our lessons?! Has no one else learned from our lessons 🤣

Been waiting for Zernell Gillie’s new release since he announced it in Feb. R&B did not disappoint but Seattle’s weather did. Too dreary and cool for a scent like this. Can’t wait to play around with this in the summer! #perfumesky #scentsky

Their relationship is wild because imagine your daughter coming home from college like "I want to introduce you to my new boyfriend, Grandmaster Flash."

The office will be a ghost town the next two weeks. Time to get through these spring samples...before it is time to try the summer samples...of which I have too many. No more samples for 2025. #fragrancesky #scentsky

Love that my friends think highly of me, but it gets out of hand when they know I’m job searching. One sent a grant writing director posting (I wrote one for $1000 18yrs ago 🥴), another sent a VP at a hospital (I worked dietary in college 🤷🏾‍♀️). BFF’s mom has tried to sell me on the IRS since college.
