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...

The Adventures of Merlin Season 5 (BBC) 2026 Thoughts: I've been rewatching Merlin (currently on season 3)! After watching the whole dragonlord arc and that earlier episode, where Kilgharrah taught Merlin a spell similar to how the Greybeards and  Paarthurnax teach the dragonborn a dragon shout / thu'um , I'm actually convinced they got a few ideas from Merlin . Like they literally mention how dragonlords and dragons are kin and how their souls are brothers. BBC Merlin is (head)canonically a dovakhiin!! Also, I remember a fanpage wanting to organize a ten year Merlin anniversary meetup on the castle filming location in France but it lost steam over the years (my sister and I wanted to go lol). There will be a " Ball of Camelot " event on the Chateau De Pierrefonds in France this coming July/August 2026 ! They did the first " Ball of Camelot " last 2025 and the tickets for 2026  are sold out but depending on the demand they might probably do ano...

The season 3 ender episode of The Adventures of Merlin went on air a few hours ago. I haven't seen the episode yet, as I am waiting for my sister to wake up so we can watch it together.... but I am really, really excited! Though I can't wait to watch this season's last episode, I'm a bit sad because the next season of Merlin won't be aired until 2012 . To tide me and my sister over till the next season, we vowed to collect all of The Adventures of Merlin books ! Haha! We found a lot of sellers on ebay selling the books at a fair price with a minimal shipping fee, but we got really lucky with this seller ( Goldstone Books ) as we purchased two hardbound Merlin books (The Dragon's Call and The Mark of Nimueh), one Merlin paperback (Merlin: Potions and Poison), and one paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, all for GBP 16.61 (P&P included). L-R: The Dragon's Call, Potions and Poison, The Mark of Nimueh. LOTR book ...
