little things

my boyfriend had a bouquet of flowers delivered to me at work a couple weeks ago.  i was completely caught off guard as he played detective unbeknownst to me to get my work address in the first place.  he's sweet <3

i'm not used to having living things in my apartment--be it a pet, nor do i have plants, but with these flowers i diligently cut the stems, changed the water, fed it flower food, and they lasted well over a week! coming into work and seeing these flowers blossom a bit more each morning really put me in a good mood.  naturally they started to wilt, and no amount of tender care i could give would do anything for them, so i was forced to put them away.

and i won't lie.. their lack of presence was felt.

i've decided that i'm going to buy flowers on my way into work on monday mornings.  

the things i gained from having that bouquet alive and well far outpaced the little maintenance they asked of me.  what's not to love.

cheers to my first batch tomorrow (:

what should i get...

onto the next one

finally took the time to look at jo malone's line of scents and ended up landing on my newest fragrance.  

LIKE: english pear&freesia, nectarine blossom&honey, white jasmine&mint

INDIFFERENT: pomegranate noir, orange blossom

DISLIKE: french lime blossom, lime basil&mandarin, grapefruit

from chloe --> margiela

hello, jo malone: wild bluebell.

"It's a light and fresh floral that smells like a spring garden with top notes of fresh bluebell and clove combined with hints of lily of the valley, eglantine, jasmine, white amber and musk."

Top notes: bluebell and cloves
Heart: lily of the valley, jasmine, rose hip
Base: white amber and musk

love the way the perfume smells, when i first spray in the morning and the way it turns by end of day.

layering on nectarine blossom & honey also makes for a really good combination on me.  the line in general is overall so clean and fresh, which is what i really liked about it.

loving my newest addition.

ready for spring.

"You say that you love rain,
but open your umbrella when it rains.

You say that you love the sun,
but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.

You say that you love the wind,
but you close your windows when wind blows.

This is why I am afraid,
you say that you love me too."


--William Shakespeare
