My darling Posse!  I was going to write this marvelous post about high/low fragrance pairings – and I will – just not right now.

Because now?  NOW?  I am in thrall to only a few things:

 

My PORCH!  It’s not quiiiite finished – construction is, but we’re in the midst of electrical and T, my fanTABULOUS electrician, is indulging my every electrical whim.  I currently have FOUR outlet boxes on the LR side of the porch and Floyd knows how many he will indulge me in, once I get the kitchen/DR area figured out.

OMG!

Once I get the DR/kitchen sorted * I’ll probably only go inside to … :: you know::  – M, the Cranky Contractor’s helper said ” you’re never going back inside… are you..?” – and.. well, he’s not persackly WRONG! I work out here, read out here, look at the boortz taking baths in my fountains, eat/cook out here, I rub copious amounts of body goo into my skin out here – it’s my own private paradise and I couldn’t be happier.

Why I Can’t Leave – the view from my porch

 

Which brings me to my current perfume and a bit of perverseness.  Every day is high 80s – 90s and it either does that West Indies downpour at 4-5 pm or it remains insanely hot.  And sunny. Which means I am completely drenched in Hawaiian Tropic SPF 50.  All day, every day. Just. In. Case.  Besides the gym and necessaries I spend all day on the porch or in the garden anyway so (insert shrug emoji).  I’m indulging in some really bizarro combinations:  HT SPF 50 + Tribute Attar (actually that’s a winning combo – the attars are designed for extreme heat, as is SPF 50 so they just link arms and jump into the volcano) or Jean Nate and SPF 50 which really are made for the season and each other so that’s an Easy W.   SPF 50 + Clinique Happy with an overlay of Cartier Baiser Vole Lys Rose – not my favorite (I feel like I just fell into a bucket of Mall Smell)  but OMG! the compliments!  I’m not persackly sure WHAT they’re smelling – but …. okaaay?  I guess.  I’m wearing it right now because I’m getting pulled off my porch and off to civilization and I want to see if it’s still a thing.

My first flush of peaches are ripening – once those are ready I’ll see if Chypres go with SPF 50.  If you hear a sonic BOOM! and the earth tilts just a beensy bit… it’ll be me, for better or for WTH?  We’ll see… (looking forward to my vintage Mitsy going head to head with Hawaiian Tropic)

 

So.  That’s my world right now.  What are you doing in the midst of Summer (or… if you’re Weird Like P 😉 and it’s Winter what are you wearing for the cooler months?)

 

  • I am a total nutjob with the outdoor kitchen/DR – my inside kitchen is persackly 11 (yes, ELEVEN!) steps from the porch.  Ask March – she’ll confirm (though it may be a few more steps for her because Teeeny little feets).
  •   So… whyyy?  Well.  Why ask why?  I … eh.. nutjob.  It’s all I got!
