At Ikea right now - running some errands

So frustrating, seems I‘m getting old. Didn‘t spend a fortune on stuff I don‘t need, just got out with 2 pieces that I needed.....and well some candy.

Had this lamp! It‘s a bagshaped lamp.
Haha the German word for flashlight is Taschenlampe, which basically means bag-light.

Love the bag lamp.
Not old, mature.
I went to Target last week and only bought the items on my list.

That bottle is gorgeous. I am such a sucker for perfume bottles.

Just read murder mystery--a character installed lighted nook, in powder room. To display perfume bottle collection.
Sounded cool.

Oh - love old school fragances!
Love Must de Cartier and Chanel No 5 but right now I am using Stella by Stella McCartney. This is such a deep flowery scent. Very elegant, smells of spring and roses. No candy at all.

I use chanel coco. But must research others you named. Lovely!

I used to have a collection that was sadly lost in a move.

That is sad.:sad:

I think what's wrong with perfumes for me is that they often have artificial ingredients. I have no problem with essential oils at all so it's not just about the scent, it's something else. So I have a collection of essential oil bottles instead :smile:

When I buy essential oils, find 2 grades: fragrance & pure.
The fragrance type contains some fake junk, but is much cheaper.
Sadly, seems to sell faster than pure.

I only have one bottle of perfume. At the moment it ia a Jo Malone scent. Do not use it regularly.

Jo Malone is nice!
I vary scents by mood. Even wear when cycling.:angel:
Around July/August, I avoid sweet scents--high wasp activity.

I am glad you like it, remainsilly....:love:
So special, so feminine... like you...:smile::heart:

Aw:heart:
Is special we can share scent enjoyment.
You must wear fragrances much more elegantly than do I.
With my daily spray, sniff & launch method.:giggle:
Found piano tune, named L'heure Bleue.
Is pretty & appropriate mood for time/scent, imo:

I also wear Chanel Coco (the original)
Also Opium, and Joe Malone Beach. Couldn’t resist that one as it smells EXACTLY like Coppertone.

If you like Coco, you will like l'heure bleue, Murphy.
Personally, I don't like today's perfumes, even the ones from Chanel or Guerlain. They are targeting very young ladies... Now it's just business and marketing....:nuts:

This is a very cool Taschenlampe.
I am a bit sick if buying in general. Too much stuff around and I feel like suffocating.

I am just realising that I have no idea about perfume whatsoever.

Panic alert at the office. :panic:
There is a meeting with 1 person from outside and 3 persons from our own office. Only coffee, nothing else. And colleague (who has not arrived, yet) turned into a crazy bee sending messages about organisation. The meeting is 4 hours away. I die. :whut:
Weekend soon. :drinks:

Oh no - panic alarm on Friday! Not good!
Have you managed to mail all the books yet?

Hope your weekend will be nice. Weather is supposed to be 30 C. Public pools will open this weekend!
I have another shift tomorrow but maybe going swimming on Sunday
