i love zara perfume so much. their scents are not too much and too artificial, and it’s very much affordable. i used to obsess over their signature gardenia scent, but recently just switched to golden decade. it has a subtle scent with notes of white florals and vanilla. i also love my dad’s perfume! it got a hint of tobacco in it, and it’s so subtle and not as strong, but also lasted for a long time with only a few sprays. you could also try l’eau d’issey by issey miyake if you like a more subtle and natural fragrance. though i gotta say, it’s pretty pricey, and doesn’t last as long.

Especially Elegantly Tokyo. One girl in the friendship group started wearing it and then we all started wearing it. Now we move around as an obnoxious scent bubble. I’ve never had as many compliments on literally anything as I have with this perfume. And so cheap. They discontinued it for 6 months and I went to a perfumery to get them to create an exact match (at vast expense).

Obsessed with perfume. For a while I was searching for a signature scent, but then the hunt just became too much fun, and now I’ve ended up with a full on vanity tray in my bathroom piled with a different smell for every mood. I used to wear only China Rain, a rollerball scent my mom got me in high school from a perfumery in LA called Spiritbody. I still have a bottle of that, but when I wear it I’m transported to a more insecure time lol. Right now I love Shadow in the Water from Diptyque for when I want to smell clean and romantic. I wear Smudge by Heretic almost every day because it’s colder out and it makes me feel so warm and cozy, like i’ve been sitting by a fire all day, and like I give good advice and paint landscapes. Perfume is definitely a splurge, but it lasts for so long, and I think it’s really special to have a beautiful scent that people can recognize you by. I am going to gatekeep my secret combination of Byredo perfumes that I wear constantly, and I’m sorry about that. It’s just too good and too me.

so i think if you like the idea of pastry-ish perfumes you should definitely go for a vanilla scent!! this is kind of niche but theres this company called ginger june candle co that sells a perfume oil called ā€œvanilla oakā€ and it smells AMAZING. its about to be discontinued tho so get your hands on it asap!! however if you want a spray perfume, anthropologie sells a nice vanilla scent that comes in two sizes another good option (more on the floral side, but still light and sweet) is la vie est belle from lancĆ“me!! its absolutely HEAVENLY and def isn’t too dramatic for everyday use (+ the bottle is adorable)

i have always known this. that people come and go. but it was only recently that this statement really… struck me. i guess that no matter how much you want people to stay in your life, sometimes itā€˜s just inevitable. though it was hard at first to let go of ā€˜your person’, i also realized that relationships are maintained by more than just one person. so no matter how much you want to keep those people in your life, to save the relationship and connection that you have, at the end of the day, they also have a say in what they feel and what they want. and if what they want is to be out of your life, then the best thing that you could do is to accept and respect that. it’s the best thing that you could do. not only for them, but also for you.

nothing beats the aftermath feeling of hanging out with your homies that you haven’t seen for a long while, knowing that you had a well spent day with the right people. my heart is full.

just turned 23 today! i feel like you always got these existential crisis in your early twenties. (or is that just me?) but the number 23 is particularly such a strange age. you feel confused about in which end of the spectrum that you fell in. you are no longer considered to be a teen, but you also don’t have much of a responsibility to be called an adult just yet. you’re an in-between. i guess i can relate to when mark hoppus sang what’s my age again, which legit sums up the whole confusion in being the age of 23. of still feeling like you’re not an adult just yet, but also forced to act your age. peter pan complex really does exist huh?
