Buying Stuff!

I really should stop browsing shops and finding more smelly things I want to buy. It's such an addiction! And too much of a distraction!

Today, I just purchased some perfume samples from Firebird Bath & Body and lip balms from Orange Thyme. Yesterday, I ordered a perfume and lip balm set from Ripe Shop. And I also ordered some soaps, a moisturizer, and body oil (which I've been wanting to try forever!) from Chagrin Valley. In the last few weeks I've placed several perfume orders with Darling Clandestine. Who by the way is having an early Black Friday sale for 26% off with coupon code: BLACKEVERYDAY. I also won a giveaway for a set of her perfumes! SO EXCITING! I am going to have quite the collection of DC perfumes! I've also placed another order with Epically Epic for soap, perfume, lip balms, and a solid lotion. AND, I ordered some tarts from Sea Breeze Scents & Things.

Yeah, I've been going a little crazy with my ordering here! And since I am moving back to Alaska soon I've been having everything shipped there. So I'm ordering all these things but have to wait to try them and smell them which makes it harder to control my shopping spree. On the plus side, I'll have a bunch of smelly things to go home to! I hope my mom doesn't judge me for the millions of packages that will be coming in for me... ha!

In other news, I've been getting serious about my perfume reviews (not that I wasn't before but I haven't had so many to review before now). Since I have a lot a new scents to try out and it'll take some time to get through them, I've started carrying around a little journal with me to write down my thoughts on the perfume while I'm wearing it. And I've been having fun with that! I also like to wave my wrists in front of my roomie and ask her what she thinks of the different scents. That's also fun times! :)

Last night I found a random Orange Thyme lip balm in my raincoat pocket. I always have random lip balms tucked away in the pockets of my coats. Those are always fun to find! It reminded me of how much I love Orange Thyme lip balms. I know I don't have a review on here yet, but one will be coming soon. They are fantastic balms! And so that is why I had to order more today. Even though that is the one thing I've been trying not to buy as much of. It never seems to work out though. I have quite the lip balm collection!

I also wore Girl on Fire from Sarawen last night for a loungy movie night with a friend. And I wore my comfy lounge clothes including a flannel shirt. The scent was perfect for the night. All warm and cozy and cuddly! I love it when I can use that perfect perfume for the occasion at hand, no matter how casual it is!

But anyway, I'll stop rambling away here and get back to the homework. And I've been liking these rambly update posts. It's something to post between reviews and I like the casual chattiness. It's also a good for a short study break! So, hope you're not minding these casual posts!

I hope you're having a good start to the week! Happy Monday!
