SOTD: Pure Grace

Quote of the Day: Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.-- Franklin P. Adams, Nods and Becks, 1944

I admit I wish I could wear a richer scent today, but I have a job interview and the best I can do is wear Philosophy's Pure Grace (which I hope will some how give me some grace) and to help induce more grace I am imbibing jasmine green tea, and to try and bring about a little serenity the last of japanese incense sampler, this last stick having a definate note of hinoki. Most likely after the interview I will spritz on something richer and comforting. So wish me luck and grace.

And for some nice ironic goodness, Fire It Up by Modest Mouse:


Has one of me favorite lyrics of late:

Oh we ate all of the oranges
Off the navels of our lovers

SOTD: Pure Grace with GAP Silken Yuzu

Another long day almost done with paper and have one more project due for this class, but I can do it, on my second cup of tea. Will be highly caffinated today. So going with peaceful and energizing scent combo of Philosophy's Pure Grace and GAP Silken Yuzu oil. I will survive and can't wait to be done. Went with cranes today because they symbolize longevity, will later on put on an osmanthus scent also a symbol of longevity.

Song: Open Book by Cake (great lyrics)

SOTD: Pure Grace

As the Sunday tradition goes: no complicated scents. So today I am wearing Philosphy's Pure Grace, which is really simple and seems to be made for Sunday's. Ultimate jean and t-shirt scent. Hope everyone is relaxing this Sunday.
