I should’ve written it earlier but I discovered a new perfume several months ago that I have absolutely fallen in love with (Lymphae by Fantôme Perfumery 🫶), with gorgeous fresh and earthy top notes, and dries down into something sweet, fruity, and floral.
the scent makes me feel fresh and mysterious when I first put it on— reminds me of the dwende my Lola always talked about in the Philippines— and on the dry down it feels so floral and welcoming. i wear it and I think of love and warmth :) honestly I think I’ve found my match ✨

MY DREAM PERFUME!!
The top scents are ginger and condensed milk so it's very sweet and creamy, but the ginger definitely adds a kick to it. I'm not the best at describing perfumes, but I know I have just been enchanted by this one. I hope to get a full size for Christmas since my sample is running low.
I think that the perfumery's website does a better job describing than I ever could:
Characteristics: Sunfrosted, silk lingerie moonlighting as perfume, curled edge mystery novel on a smoked glass table, lips meeting in the middle of a communion wafer

A perfect patchouli imo - it smells like this discontinued DS & Durga perfume called My Indian Childhood that I was searching for FOREVER. Warm, amber-y, spicy, earthy. I love her.
Second, I love Olo perfumes out of Portland, OR and Nationale 6/7 has been my favorite lately. A rose scent that feels young and has so much depth, reminds me of Portland (and of Nationale) and feels light and lovely on. All of Heather’s scents really do it for me, though.

My steps:
1. Shut my phone down, hide it in my room, and lock the door so it's a pain in the ass to get to.
2. Be bored, and sit in the boredom for like 7-10 minutes (MINIMUM)-- once you're bored see what your brain gravitates to beyond The Screen (is it doodling? is it playing guitar? is it writing?)
3. Find the little thing your brain latches on to, and start doing it! Even if it's something goofy like "Just Dance youtube videos" to dance to LOL this is you, deliberately following your brain's natural curiosity & interest
And then rinse and repeat however you like <3 Once you get accustomed to the smaller, more gratifying feel good activities, social media starts to feel too overwhelming to even pick back up again-- you'll be reaching for it less and less
(a final aside: I am of the major belief that creativity & imagination is critical to creating a better reality to live in, because it shows that you're capable of leaning into what "doesn't exist", and are courageous enough to imagine and build a reality that defies the status quo. but that's just me LOL)
