...Araibian Oud is having a Boxing Day sale on some of their perfumes. Unfortunately shipping is very high to the U.S. so I cannot participate, but I think it would be better to the UK and other countries. Here's what the email said:"Dear all,As you know Boxing day is here and what a better way to celebrate it that the best way we know, please all feel welcome to visit www.ArabianOud.co.uk where you will find all our amazing scents at HALF PRICE and some of them even further discounted!Our recommendations are;Khashka 6 & khaskha 7 both from £80 to £20 only!Arabian Prestige Collection all from £120 to £40!"

...I'll tell you what I DON'T like...Ethiopian food. It's flavorful, but too much spice and I don't like the flat bread used. First (and only) time I had it, I was miserable afterwards.

...Sherapop:Hayven:I keep throwing them out. I'm not up to the challenge!You can do it, Hayven! Join us in January. Hold on to one of them!You do have another order from Fragrancenet on the way, don't you???? 8)Oh, most likely. I GUESS I'll hold onto the sample.... :wink:

...Digindirt:I went out tonight and bought myself a new phone (on sale). I had to because my son added it to his list so Santa could get me one. He Xed a few things off his list so I could get a phone but I had no idea how to produce one at regular price!Now he won't have to feel sad if Santa doesn't bring me one. I love that little Mini Me...I'm one month away from getting out of my godawful contract so I'll be getting a new one soon as well...my coworker has the same phone as you and it's superb. That's really cute; your son wants you to treat yo'self.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsABTmT1_M0Third time's the charm...MERRY CHRISTMAS, COUTUREGURU!

...Same to you, dearie. I'm grateful to get to know you all from different parts of the globe, little by little. :)

...I keep throwing them out. I'm not up to the challenge!

...Annnnnnd I bought Scarlet Larkspur. Such enablers, this bunch! ;)

...I enjoy writing reviews here. My tastes may differ than other members, but I do like that my review is not lost at sea compared to other fragrance reviews sites like Sherapop said. Everything looks clean, neat, and no ads to clutter my screen is a nice feature. I personally don't sense any elitism; everyone has been kind and well-mannered since I joined about a month or so ago.

...MNQ:Me too but I think I'm rinsing my bottle of Nina Ricci Spicy Delight so think I'm going with that this year!Great choice :)

...Wow, thanks for the link, D! I have been wanting to try New Jersey for a long time, and now it's affordable for me. My sister has bought non-perfume items from uncommon goods before. She was satisfied with them.

...Oooh, tough call because I like a little bit of everything. If I were to choose based on my favorite restaurant, I would go with Vietnamese, Japanese, and American Chinese food. I say American Chinese because our version of Chinese is fatter and sweeter than what people in China eat. :D my favorite restaurant:http://www.joyyee.com/The menu is about 30 pages long, and I have yet to eat the same thing twice aside from the drinks. I like mango bubble tea.

...Maybe it is because those are the notes that you like, and therefore you are "searching" for them with your nose. I am the same when trying to find strawberry, caramel, or chocolate notes, although those are more of top notes than base.

...I usually don't pick until the day of or an hour before leaving the house. For Christmas, I think I will wear Burberry Brit Red. For New Year's Eve, it's a toss-up between Miss Dior Cherie, Victoria's Secret Vanilla Cashmere, or Loukhoum eau Poudree.

...I have to agree; Smell Bent has fun perfumes. But they are also long-lasting on me and have depth. I have purchased various oil rollerballs and sample sprays; I have yet to find one I don't like. Right now I'm partial to Bolshe Vixen, a gourmand scent of chocolate, caramel, and a zing of spice.

...I purchased John Galliano - Parlez-Moi d'Amour edp from Amazon. I think I found some new flankers to collect...ungh.

...Maybe it' s because the IFRA banned many of the notes used back then, or a lot of them are now synthetic.

...I usually like still life paintings, but I like abstract as well. I prefer red and yellow or red and gold. they go with the colors of my home better in my opinion. I'd love to have that painting that Cryptic posted.

...From Seatonica:I have wanted to smell Hypnotic Poison eau Sensuelle but haven't had a chance yet.

...I have it bookmarked on my main toolbar. I'd love to try some Tauer stuff finally.

...I finally had a chance to watch this. What an awesome guy.A lot of health problems can reversed with exercise and good eating. And you don't need to pay a doctor to tell you that. :)
