I guess what I've tried has either been a) underwhelming or b) it could have been top shelf, but I only had eyes for (fill in the blank, most likely something to do with wood). Jasmine, I'm finding, is one of those things that is not quite what it seems, and I'm interested because of how chameleon-like it can be, depending partly on what friends it's grouped with.

Now it's all about green and leather chypres. Oh, and I love jasmine now too, even though 2 yers ago I would have tols you that I wasn't "into florals."

Since those have pretty much gone away, I feel like my sense of smell is more sensitive in a good way, like I was missing out before. But with a physical blockage apparent, maybe it should be the opposite? Anyway, it's fun to think out loud w/ other people about this. :)Carrie Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087942243335319004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079710367411504523.post-31519071886090854042010-11-29T19:30:34.611-06:002010-11-29T19:30:34.611-06:00Yep, my family overcompensated with applying the d...Yep, my family overcompensated with applying the dark peach pinky stuff to "compromise yellow tones" in their complexion. I think the shade had "rose" in it and it was pretty awful on an Arab complexion. <br />Sorry to hear about you and your departed kitty. I wonder if it does affect smell?EauMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434594415447725872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079710367411504523.post-66287366136735340402010-11-28T20:11:04.724-06:002010-11-28T20:11:04.724-06:00I'm very much a coffee sort of gal, but gettin...I'm very much a coffee sort of gal, but getting back into the swing of tea sounds like a really good, tasty idea to me.Carrie Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087942243335319004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079710367411504523.post-38662833496083074702010-11-28T16:34:51.976-06:002010-11-28T16:34:51.976-06:00You're in luck!

I remember trying to tell her that when I was younger, and she sharply disagreed with me. Hah. Your family is probably more reasonable.<br /><br />Michelle, I will have to seek this special honey out now. I am not a tea connoisseur, but I have my favorites (obsessed with several Twinings teas). I wonder how it would do with the juniperiness of Earl Grey? Trial and error, I suppose. :)Carrie Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087942243335319004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079710367411504523.post-55425965854212063232010-11-28T14:57:15.528-06:002010-11-28T14:57:15.528-06:00I love reading these.

If you like the flavor notes, it won't seem too funky because the flavor of the tea will create synergies (just like perfumery!). Darker teas are best(a nice woody Oolong or a malty Assam create interesting harmonies). Highly recommend: Rigoni di Asiago Organic Chestnut Honey.Michelle Krell Kyddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159413353565564951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079710367411504523.post-54065811330143663162010-11-28T14:05:12.252-06:002010-11-28T14:05:12.252-06:00It was a boatload of fun Michelle, thanks for givi...It was a boatload of fun Michelle, thanks for giving me the opportunity to have taken it! I actually have not tried Italian Chestnut Honey, but I suppose I must do so right away, it sounds like a match made on earth.

You are a terrific writer with an authentic voice. I'm a bit obsessed with the smell of old books myself and was really glad when Patti Smith said this upon receiving an award for her memoir "Just Kids", “Please, no matter how we advance technologically, please don’t abandon the book. There is nothing in our material world more beautiful than the book.” <br />P.S. If you haven't tried Italian Chestnut Honey, I'd urge you to. It has hay notes and is a bit barn-like. Something tells me you may have tasted this before ;-)Michelle Krell Kyddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159413353565564951noreply@blogger.com
