Scents of the Day: Part 4
Last year, I did a project called Scent of the Day. For a month, every day, I talked about a scent on Facebook. I have been asked by friends to make these musings available on the blog, as it’s impossible to find anything on Facebook. So I’ll copy my mini-re..
3 Candles for Spring
I used to find scented candles the most pointless things in the world. If there was anything I did consider more pointless, it was expensive scented candles. And I just could not understand why someone would burn them in spring or summer!?! Winter, maybe, if..

5 Big White Floral Perfumes (and 5 smaller ones)
The Big White Florals, or BWFs, have a reputation. This isn’t entirely surprising, as BWFs are very big and very … floral. If you’ve ever felt suffocated by someone’s perfume, chances are that a big and white floral was involved.

7 Health Cheats
After covering condensed milk, caramel and marzipan, the time has come for a health-related post. I admit that I have never been particularly health-concious: years ago at a group training when people were asked to list their values/priorities in life, I was..
5 Things in Tubes
I tend to get excited by things pretty easily. Sometimes, this enthusiasm makes perfect sense, as in the case of my love for feminist science fiction, biathlon and single malt whiskey. Who wouldn’t adore these things, right? Sometimes, however, it can be puz..
