i have also been getting into fragrance, and to meld my other interests, i have been looking at popular perfumes in Japan and South Korea. for example there’s a popular brand in jp called Decorte which isn’t popular at all in the US. but they do sell their fragrances on like the Saks website

Being an Aquarius has its perks — I discovered two indie brands this year that quickly became cult favorites. My top picks include Pearfat Parfum, Clue Perfumery, and Odette Parfum, with two of them based in Chicago.
Recently, Odette and Pearfat launched a "Red Shoes"-inspired perfume, Le Chaussons Rouges, in November, and it’s set to restock soon. It smells like eating cinnamon sticks while painting in your 1st-grade art class, with notes of gingerbread, red paint, dahlia, candied ginger, and saffron. I just can't stop sniffing.

💅Scent Bar: an absolute must if you want to test out a wide range of niche brands!
Elorea: a Korean perfumery that has an in-store cafe
Naxos Apothecary: fragrances inspired by Greece
Olfactory NYC: great if you want to create your own custom fragrance
There are also a ton of flagship stores in NYC, if I had to choose I’d hit up diptyque, D.S. & Durga, and The Maker Hotel Shop

idk how i came across this in my daily wikipedia surfs, but something about this painting just amuses me so much.
my first impression was this looks fairly modern in a way, possibly because of the composition and how she made her features so light and bouncy. it oddly made me think of disney when i looked for longer. then i see it was made in 1909 😂
this painting can transcend times and i wouldn’t truly know when it was made unless i looked more closely at the objects around the subject. but even that can be a stretch as vintage items can be popular amongst anyone and they can just have their vanity setup look like this.
i tried looking for photographs of her online but alas nothing came up with certainty.

i saw something on here a day ago about how fireflies are disappearing and lightly catastrophized the scenario. but then as i regulated myself i looked up an article lightly extinguishing my concerns.
so as i look at the copious little flickers out my window, ill be glad to tell you that while firefly populations are decreasing, some firefly species are adapting to new environments trying to prosper and evolve. big causes for their decline are obvi climate change, urbanization, and light pollution. a simple way for you to not make things bad for the fireflies in your area is to not use pesticides on your lawns if you have them. they spend most of their lives in the ground so it starts at the soil.
additionally, every article i see with the salacious title about “last generation to see fireflies“ seems to be blocking out a lot of things about current firefly populations. most of the fireflies on the IUCN red list they keep mentioning are marked vulnerable or least concern. so there is a possibility a species or more of fireflies may disappear, but all of them i don’t think so.
