  1. Congrats on your vaccine! I got #1 on Tuesday and no side effects other than a sore upper arm. Very excited to hear how it goes with the butterflies so please keep us posted. Also, thanks to you I am back into wearing perfume most days, even if I don't go even as far as the mailbox. It's so much fun rediscovering old faves.

    1. Thanks! I was grateful that it was opened up to teachers. And happy you were able to get yours as well.

      So far I have had good numbers on the butterflies. Most of the cats were able to pupate but a few of the chrysalis did not hatch, just kind of became stagnant. I have watched at least seven hatch and fly away though. It makes me so unreasonably happy.

      I am SO happy to hear you are wearing some pretty smellies!! I don't put on make up in the morning but I do anoint myself with perfumes each day. Today I put on Whisper Sisters "Be Mine" with lots of spice and patchouli. Mmmm. Any old faves that have made your eyes roll??

      I apologize for the delay in replying. School has been hectic with state testing coming up and in the evenings I am taking an ESOL course. April is always a little frantic for me with school. How are you doing?

    2. So cool about the butterflies! Weirdly I have been wearing even more makeup than usual as we've had a lot of video meetings with potential clients. I am rediscovering the cozy musks and vanillas in my collection, especially good ol' hippie Nemat Himalayan Musk and Calypso St. Barth Lea. Hope the tumult of school stuff eases soon and take care <3

    1. Hi Brooke!! I apologize for my delay in writing. April is kicking my butt and taking names in the busy department. LOL! But not in a bad way. Just in a lack of free time way.

      Cherry blossoms!!! Are you getting to see them?? I love the delicate scents and florals. Perfect time of year for them. Growing hope. That makes my heart happy. My card of the year was The Star and it speaks to me about hope. Which is greatly needed. <3
