PERFUME
So I was thinking over the past few weeks about perfume. Do you remember being younger and thinking your mother had THE BEST perfume? Of course for me, this was during the height of the 80s and my mom had this very fancy mirrored pedestal tray that she kept all of her special perfumes on and I remember spending hours smelling each one and thinking they were very glamorous. She did have Chanel No.5, which for my mom is pretty remarkable because nowdays she doesn not do ANYTHING hip. The funny thing about the perfume and my whole point for writing this is that there were 2 that I was totally enamored by: White Shoulders and Charlie And of course now that I am grown up, I have WAY different opinions of these fragrances.
Do you have any fragrance flashbacks that crack you up now?

I know that tray!
My mom's perfumes all sucked. But she got some of them from Avon and they came in cute animal-shaped bottles. I know there was a skunk, a rabbit, and others. The perfume was CRAP though. Ugh. Maybe it just aged poorly. I don't think she ever wore the animal bottle perfumes. Just Emeraude. Which sucks. :)
I remember in high school I never went anywhere with out wearing my Liz Claiborne…you know the triangle bottle…ha! =)
