When Ralph Lauren discontinued the only scent I had ever loved (since my mid-20s) I found myself adrift in a world I don’t especially like and facing the dilemma of how the heck to choose a new signature scent for yourself (the RL had been a gift, a lucky fluke). I don’t like most perfumes, I hate walking through the perfume section at El Corte InglΓ©s, it’s just not my world. But I loved Lauren, it felt like me, and I didn’t know if I’d ever find a replacement. Then years later I found myself back in Toronto for an extended stay (don’t ask, it wasn’t good) but I was staying with my lovely friend Carol and Clinique Elixir was her chosen scent. I remember I loved how it lingered when she passed through a room and so one day I tried it myself. SOLD. I’ve been using it ever since.
Anyhow, it’s not Chanel expensive or anything but ever since I discovered estuches (gift boxes) there was no going back to paying full price just for the eau de parfum when I could also get it much cheaper and with a couple of extras thrown in. So it became strategic buying, not just waiting until I was almost out. Which is what I did today. Because wtf, I’m worth it.

Celebrating Morcilla’s 13th birthday on Tuesday I came across a couple of videos I’d actually forgotten about. Here is a screen grab of the time gentle giant Loki first met Morcilla and her little orange brother. It was hilarious. You can watch the video here…

Hard to believe my curious and still kittenish girl is 13 today.
Here she is next to me in the office this morning.
Happy birthday beautiful girl!
Morcilla shares her birthday with my beloved Azar, born 18 years apart.

This is from the weekend I brought all the kittens (and mum) home to see which one I was going to bond with… guess who won! I mean, all four were adorable but this little flirt won my heart. Smudge was her “milk name”.
