Conclusion
Once you have purchased your favourite perfumes, as a perfume junky you start to crave new ones and unusual ones.
This week the perfume junky has started to explore unknown territory.
I think this will make you unique when you walk into a room wearing a fragrance no one knows; a kind of mystery to solve.
Hope you enjoyed this week’s perfume junky.
Had a nice surprise yesterday, a boots box arrived with soap and glory makeup in it. Haven’t had new makeup for ages. It is a great product with great graphics.
Feeling hopeful for you all now and am guessing your orders are starting to arrive. Keep watching the fashion calendar and what I receive will either go into Saphires products to try or star products.
If these are your shops or brands ~ you should get your orders through now so try again.
It isn’t normal again yet, but I’m hopeful this is the start of the end and everything will start up again soon!!!
Color Matching/seasonal colours
Found a great website that shows you how to expand your seasonal colour range. This will be coming up in the fashion calendar, so it means you can wear your favourite colours that aren’t your season, turquoise is one of mine, so I can now wear it even though I’m winter.
That inspired me to choose this perfume as a theme for a bathroom design. I think this looks a bit 70’s meets Spa.
Whatever you are doing this Sunday have a ‘good one’!!!!
Were just doing salad chips and wine till food comes back, then found some low-calorie choc ices, they are high in fat, but the 20% rule allows you a treat now and again. I think our bodies might need a bit of something now they are working harder anyway.
Have a lovely Sunday.
Saphire!!!!
