Fragrance Mists and Body Mists Review

-
I tend to acquire decants and samples when I'm in a midst of a crash out (I'd buy actual perfumes whenever I'm in dire mental straits if my funds allow me but it does not!), so might as well put my quick thoughts about them. I'll try to update this list as I try new ones. Bath & Body Works ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ (I have repurchased these) Wild Honeysuckle - FANTASTIC! One of their more complex fragrances that I've tried. Honey right out of the gate. Smells briefly of kisses (type of aroma beads that was popular in the 90s). Then you get a burst of overwhelming jasmine flowers before settling in to subtle medley of florals. Disappointing longevity however, even for a fragrance mist. Wish I could find something that smells the same but would stay much longer. Moonlight Path  - Smells like powdery, musky flowers. Some people would say old lady perfume but this is actually one of my favorites. THE PERFECT BEDTIME SCENT! One thing I've learned is scents either get reformulat...

Shows Rounds Up Ep 001 (Extraordinary You, Somehow 18, His Dark Materials, Good Omens)

Extraordinary You (2019) Sets place inside a comic book. The 'stage' is what actually appears in the comic while the 'shadow' are stuff that happens behind the scenes, until the next stage happens. Once a character becomes aware that the world they are in a manhwa, they start to remember the things that happen while they're in the 'shadow'. It was annoying how in every ep most of the self-aware characters are bitching about the stage/shadow thing, like pleeeease we get it already the first 5 times. But I would still recommend people to watch it because it was VERY CUTE. Eun Dan Oh ( Kim Hye Yoon ) is too much at times but you can help but feel giddy alongside her, and root for her and Ha Roo ( Ro Woon ).  Somehow 18 (2017) Oh Kyung Wee ( Minho ) can't get over his first love, Han Na Bi ( Lee Yoo Bi ) who discouraged him from committing suicide but ended up killing herself a few days after. He somehow traveled back in time, and now h...

Movies Round Up Ep. 004 (Call Me By Your Name, Elisa & Marcela, Meet Me In St. Gallen) Bonus Web Series C-Drama: Go Princess Go

Call Me By Your Name (2017) I've been hearing great things about Call Me By Your Name since it came out, but my feelings are mixed. Don't get me wrong. The movie is visually beautiful (it's set in Northern Italy, duh) and both  Elio  ( Timothée Chalamet ) and  Oliver  ( Armie Hammer ) are wonderful but a lot of feelings in me are stirred. And I'm not just talking about to urge to pick up a pack of cigarettes despite not having any for more than 4 years with all the smoking going on in the film  Oliver is a phD student and we even learn at the end of the film that he got engaged to his on / off girlfriend. Yes, Elio was the aggressor and yes, he's very mature for his age and yes, he's technically of "legal age" in this setting but it's hard to ignore Oliver's current position and mindset in life is very grown up compared to Elio. But I'm not really here to justify what's right or what's wrong, this is just reality espe...
