I love the smell of almond extract so much that i've been mixing drops of it into my daily lotion. I smell yummy all day ;)
Also if someone sells a perfume that JUST smells like almond extract lmk (why does vanilla need to be mixed in??)

I‘m also a big fan of the smell and I use the almond doctor bronner’s diluted for foaming hand soap!

specifically love Luminae skin scent, Alkemia makes perfume oils that smell amazing and have some great combinations- you can get a sample set for $20 if you want to test a few :)

my favourite perfume - Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Sandalwood. I love Jasmine and Rose so much, and I love how Jasmine can smell kind of gross. This perfume smells really different on different people and I always inexplicably think it smells like paper on me and I smell like an old library that someones left old flowers a bit too long in in a good way. It’s the perfume my bf thinks now smells of me. It’s affordable! But it stains my skin and any light clothing red/orange so I have to be careful with it.
I also wear:
M&S warm neroli - casual daytime. Neroli, bergamot, musk. Feels quite meditative.
Blue and Shay Atropa Belladonna or Black Tulip - Both heady florals. The belladonna is sweeter than I’d buy myself but it was a gift and I wear it occasionally. The black tulip to me smells again like old flowers (although others have said it smells fresh so maybe I’m just weird). I generally prefer to smell a bit old and rotten than fresh and bright.
i recently discovered Cherry Smoke by Tom Ford and I’ve fallen in love. I’ve been wearing it as my nighttime scent. Cherry, smoked wood, apricot, leather, olive. It’s sweet but smokey like a Manhattan. it’s sexy as FUCK. But I absolutely cannot afford it once this tester runs out so it’s a flash in the pan love affair.
In terms of other scents - my laundry is always lavender cause wool moths don’t like it, and I usually always buy rose or jasmine scented body wash, but atm it’s a huge bar of pomegranate soap that caskeyc got me for Christmas, and I like to burn sandalwood or jasmine in my room.

going out to any perfume-selling store and smelling whatever looks interesting, talking to the people working there and hearing their expertise - maybe even leaving with a tester.. brightens my day every time. just today i found out i love vanilla-ish perfumes!

Before I eat I’ve started to pray before meals. I pray for everyone involved in the cultivation and creation of my food. From the farmers, to the grocery clerk, to my roommate who sits with me while I cook.
Helps me remind myself that even something as small as my meal is a part of a bigger community. Maybe it does nothing, maybe attunes myself to others around me (especially to migrant farm workers + their struggles), maybe it’s just sending good vibes.

You do not need more advice.
Or practice.
Or thinking about it.
Stop talking about it. Actually do it.
Do it in baby steps or in giant leaps…but just go do it.
I wish I traveled/worked out/spoke more languages/read more/made more art/knew how to do XYZ type conversations do not get you closer to doing it.
Book that class, pick up that paintbrush, save that money for your flight, download those language apps and use them, buy that book.
shut up and do it!
With love

Looking for cheap simple vegan meals?
Countries with a high Orthodox Christian populous fast from meat, dairy, and animal products for more than half the year. Typically you can find a treasure trove of meal ideas from these countries googling the term fasting foods plus the countries name
I.E.
Russian fasting foods
Greek fasting foods
Belarusian fasting foods
Ethiopian fasting foods
Simple ingredients, vegan, and different. Part of the ideology is that fasting food should not be overly complex so you will not be hunting down ingredients
