to me figs smell like summer. i love fig scents, especially if they smell a bit more green than fruity. my favorite perfume smells a bit like the green-ness(?) but also fresh, clean dirt after the rain. if not fig, i am very much a sandalwood person or blackcurrant one. i like smelling nice but not necessarily floral. :)

For a rainy day: Filligree and Shadow ā€œI made you a mixtapeā€ (green apple, cannabis, petrichor)
For a chill day when I want something that stays close to the skin: E’tat Libre D’Orange ā€Jasmine and Cigaretteā€ (powdery examples of titular notes)
For fall and winter and/or when Iā€˜m feeling cozy: Pearfat ā€œBread and Rosesā€ (toasty delectable and bright all at once, a miracle scent)
and despite loving it I don’t wear perfume in the summer instead opting for nice clean smelling moisturizer. (I’m using a Lush one rn)
From exploring a range of styles I find I like unusual gourmands or florals paired with light earthy accords. I also have come to recognize the habits I have around perfume, it’s something I use to create or maintain a vibe, I don’t need an every day scent and I’m not drawn to big scents with a wide throw. I prefer a perfume thats detectable only within a foot and makes me feel a certain way. Remembering these things about myself makes trying new things more approachable.
That being said! You might find the opposite is true for all of the above and can narrow your taste from there. I also like all the brands mentioned for their range and price point. Happy hunting :)

if i had a comfort sitcom, this would be it :,) sadly it only has two short seasons, so i've seen every episode at least 10 times. (if you're going to watch it, make sure to look up the right episode order because it aired out of order.)
when i'm at a loss for what i want to watch, i put it on. somehow despite having seen it a bajillion times, the gags still land. there's also something so inherently 2000s about it with its slightly outdated jokes and energy that i find charming. it's the same way i feel about 2 broke girls. it's just fun hjinks with people who are kind of messed up!!!

going to see challengers on my own today! and i'm very excited. i'm someone who actually doesn't mind going to the cinema alone. i've done it so many times over the years, and totally do not get people who say it's sad. if i lived somewhere where i could go to late night screenings on my own, i would do it all the time.
sometimes i end up making a friend, sometimes i just get to sit and get sucked in and then i get to leave and choose my favorite place to eat. it's a nice way to spend a day on your own, and i think more people (especially people in their 20s) should take themselves on little dates.

i'm pretty sure i'm far from the first to say this, but holy shit. what a movie! i think i sat in the movie theater with my jaw dropped for a big chunk of it. electric, and crackling with tension- both in terms of relationships and the tennis court. some old school 90s sexiness and sexual metaphors, with beautiful shots and impeccable chemistry. just 10s all around for me. i think it's also a perfect movie to watch on a sweaty, sweltering summer day with some lemonade and auntie anne's pretzels (which i did) can't wait to see it again.
also i'm obsessed with apparently the notes for the score being "unending homoerotic desire" uhhh yeah! i got that
