I started my new job today. And the hectic craziness that is going to be my life until at least May. And if I have it my way, the rest of my non-retired life will be fairly similar.
Sleepy train station picture! One transfer, about an hour (more like 40 minutes), all-in-all a decent commute. I don’t start too early, so there isn’t that much of a fight for sitting room which is nice.
I hope you had as much fun and felt as much love as I did last night. Here’s to the new year!
This picture’s from the company’s Instagram!
Zoologist is a new perfume company started by Victor Wong in 2013 in Toronto. Their aim is to capture the many facets of different wildlife and to turn those facets into something interesting and beautiful. I got this pack over the weekend and am excited to share my thoughts on the scents soon!
I first heard about the line on Reddit, and I’m all for trying out new things :3
According to the website:
“Beaver Eau de Parfum opens with a breath of linden-blossom and fresh air, trailed by a redolent infusion of castoreum and iris. A whisper of vanilla interweaves with earth and smoke. Finally, crisp cedar wood and ash emerge, bathed in warm amber.
Using a base of synthetic beaver musk, also known as castoreum, Zoologist takes a modern approach to a classic ingredient, creating an elegant and subtle unisex perfume perfect for those who adore this powerful scent.”
“Panda Eau de Parfum is a fresh green fragrance that combines the delightful scents of bamboo and zisu leaves to send you on an unforgettable aromatic adventure. Your journey begins at a quaint Sichuan pepper farm surrounded by mountain streams and then leads you through a forest of osmanthus flowers as you finally make your way into a cozy garden filled with juicy mandarin trees and blooming lilies. Panda is a scent ensemble that will truly awaken and rejuvenate your senses”
“Rhinoceros Eau de Parfum establishes itself with a dry, slightly boozy rum note, like heat shimmering on the still savannah. The air crackles with lavender and sage. A warm breeze carries the scent of leather and rich tobacco. In the distance a rugged, dignified behemoth contemplates the vast expanse while amber, vetiver, smoke and sandalwood drift on the horizon.
This substantial and captivating scent blends the traditionally masculine and high quality notes of leather*, vetiver, cedar, bergamot and sandalwood with the more mellow rum, tobacco, lavender and agarwood. The result is a musky, well-balanced, enigmatic and alluring accord.”
I’m probably most excited for the Rhinoceros and the Panda. And I can’t wait to spray certain people with it…
Oh New Jersey.
Although it would be really nice if I were a New Yorker with a lake-house. Or an executive living in a mansion driving a Mercedes G-Wagon. Dreamer alert.
I’m going to be super exhausted this week because it’s Advertising Week all over Manhattan and I’m volunteering!
Advertising Week is in its 11th year, and it’s the largest collection of communications and marketing leaders in the industry. Lots of lectures with lots of topics, lots of food, and lots of music. Speakers like Dan Ackerman, Ariana Huffington, Jamie Oliver, Laura Adams, Jessica Alba, Mario Batali are going to be discussing awesome things in tech, comm, and marketing, and A-Trak, T.I., The Script, Outkast, and Wiz Khalifa are all performing.
Unfortunately, I have to miss much of the night shows because I have school at night, but it doesn’t bother me that much because I’m honestly going to learn (thought it would have been really cool to be at the kick-off gala.)
Get your tickets here, and I hope to see you at an awesome lecture!
Sorry for the absence! I started school and work and it’s been rather exhausting trying to transition back, especially with trying to find an internship along with all of the new responsibilities I already have.
However.
I got my Surrender to Chance order in the mail! Osmanthus set and the Jo Malone Rain set. Reviews will come shortly :3
What a pretty box 😀
Eeh, fragrances!
I love lightning on the road. It’s as if someone took a hot knife and carved a line through the sky and the highway glows periwinkle and the lights surrounding flash just a little brighter for a second. Thunder just adds to whatever music I’m playing at the time.
Actual rain on the other hand tends to be kind of a drag. Silly northwest New Jersey and their random night squalls. Trying to kill me and shit.
I took this picture a few years ago in Germany. It’s on my Deviant Art account, lol.
I much prefer listening to the rain in the comfort of my own home. And also through Rainy Mood.
