Feeling gluttonous and ready to write

I've been thinking August 25, 2011 Comments: 8

Luckily for me, the gluttony is only perfume related. 🙂

I feel so very lucky because in the last month or so I received so many wonderful packages, some from swaps, some I ordered, and some just because perfume people are very generous.

I’m nowhere near to smelling them all and I feel it’s going to take some time before I even smell them once, let alone write about them.

But, and I hope the feeling lasts, I feel eager and ready to write about many wonders I’ve been smelling recently so I hope to get on with it soon.
The only problem I have at the moment is the intense heat here so coming home and sitting behing a computer writing is not even remotely comfortable (no AC there).

Hopefully, the heat will dissipate somewhat (and soon!), although judging by forecast, not much but at least it won’t be 37 degrees Celsius in the most humid town I’ve ever been to. I actually don’t feel well most of the time.

Anyway, I want to get some reviews done about perfumes and people who deserve more recognition and about some perfumes that get recognition without any help. 🙂 Many of which landed in my lap without much work from me.

Like I said, I feel very lucky. 🙂

Gluttony is such a great sin

Before you all start thinking I’m referring to the eating and drinking of past days, you’re correct 🙂 but not completely. I’m also referring to the fact that these days, I’m also a glutton when it comes to scents. I can’t seem to get enough of them. Which is actually not a problem since I still have so many samples I need to try (for the first time) that I can indulge in smelling as much as I indulged in drinking (much less in eating though).

Anyway, that is my excuse for not reviewing perfume lately, I just can’t single out any, I have this need to smell and I just cannot concentrate enough on any of the smelling points on me to be able to discuss it in a coherent manner. Does that happen to anyone else?

So, while I’m enjoying my smell-related gluttonous nature, I decided to curb it when it comes to food and drink. I completely enjoyed days related to the turn of the year without being concerned about my weight (and that is one of the best choices I could have made) so now it’s time to get back on track (the exercising and eating track) and concentrate on work and smell. Well, maybe more like smell and work. 😉

So, I hope that very soon I will have a review for you and I’m considering Chinatown. I’m wearing it today since it’s snowy and cold outside and I’m eating less – and Chinatown fulfills my need for warmth and gourmand taste. I’m aware that this one causes a lot of fuss, you either love or you hate it so I want to tell you why I like it and what exactly is it that I like so much about it (I’m still having problems distinguishing notes in there on my own) – and I hope that soon I’ll be able to do that. I just need a little more time with it.
