this pretty recently released gourmand fragrance is SO overwhelming in its vanilla scent. it's so good, combined with panacotta, rum and lemony notes. you almost want to eat it when you smell it (but shouldn't because it's pricy). i asked a clerk for more vanilla fragrances and she recommended me also burberry goddess. it's based on 3 different vanilla notes, but i enjoy the complexity of d&g devotion more. it's like you're wearing a dessert.

went to check it out at the perfume store. pretty new apparently. very very strong vanilla, kinda lemon-y start to it. i also recommend tom ford rose prick. smells like a sweet piece of candy!!

my current perfume obsession. it opens really bright and fresh, then dies down to a warm musky vanilla & tonka bean blend that’s to die for. it’s sweet but not necessarily gourmand. my biggest issues with it are the silliage & longevity. it sits very close to the skin and has to be reapplied after a few hours. people on fragrantica say it’s not worth the money bc of that but nobody on there ever suggested alternate perfumes so idrgaf 🤷🏿♀️

i feel like a massive hypocrite writing this, but im gonna be honest..
the past year i've been constantly listening to/watching youtube videos and ig reels in order to fill the silence. just loads and loads of useless information and empty talks.
last night i realized that doing so has been keeping me from thinking about stuff, listening to music and in general, being productive. i was filling my head with useless noise so i wouldn't think. it ended up being a comfortable bubble of bullshit that was hard to break out of.
today i stopped the video, grabbed my notes of things i want to DO and played some music in the background. felt much better. i might relapse— i have many times, but im tired of being a vertically scrolling thumb (again).

i used to ride my bicycle/take public transport all the time, but walking is really good actually! it slows down the wildness of modern life, shows you small things you would otherwise drive past. its all around a good idea if you have time to spare of course. great for calming down, thinking, good for relieving stress, good for meeting new people

going to the museums in my city, going to events, visiting art schools as a spectator to view their expositions
it gives me this.. je ne sais quoi feeling. like, euphoria and inspiration and hope in a weird combined way. thinking about art, talking about art - and by that i mean anything from jewelry to graphic design, paintings, poetry, (short) film and sculptures. just fills me with purpose unlike anything else.
im watching my sims be succesful artists and im like.. damn i wanna be that.
