i love seeing older women thrive despite a society that’s wants them to hide, constantly reminding them of the youth they’ve lost … if only she wasn’t a literal zionist

will never not recommend this book… a witty satire of life in 30s soviet union. a big black evil cat. witches. satan in moscow. heads falling right and left. a dark comedy but also a touching love story. a perfect october pick… just saying… truly Just Saying…

sometimes there are classics you think may be slightly overhyped. ‘oh, people just say that bc it’s dostoyevsky’… that was my fear before picking up this gigantic brick but i’m glad to announce this is indeed the best piece of literature to me. changed my views on many things

btw if you are tea drinker, you might want to consider picking up rooibos or infusions instead of green and black tea when you have your period bc there is tannin in them which reduces iron absorption and that is kinda bad since you’re already losing blood 🫶🏻

bluebell is known as princess diana’s perfume. it smells like a walk through the woodlands, a foggy spring morning, dew still dropping off leaves, a field of fresh flowers. a solitary witch, that lives removed far off into the forest, that no one has ever seen… i must acquire it

both warming and ice crisp, amore caffè isn’t the cloying fragrance you would expect it to be. well balanced, it reminds me of amaretto sours, xmas desserts, hazelnut ice cream, café gourmands, burnt sugar, a happy moment you share with ur loved ones. it’s festive. the hug u need

THE perfume that made me fall in love with the art of fragrance creation. wealth in a bottle; elegant, classy, discreet. a soft aura. a sweet vanilla meets juniper berries and a few spices. smells like a woman who’s made it taking a walk in her private woods. quiet, peace, luxury

a single spray and you’re transported directly into a local indian cafe, a warm cup of chai in hands. very realistic. this is an explosion of cardamom and cinnamon that dries down into a milky, deep tea with just the right amount of sweetness. a subtle sensual rose note.

a perfume by la durée, famous for its delicious macarons. tho it isnt an olfactive echo to the pastries; inspired by french elegance, it’s described as a return to 18th century’s french court, a reference to an iris scented powder that was used by aristocratic women back then
