#Inktober Day 15

I'm good in a crisis, but I long for a period of repose.

Good in a crisis.

But the minute that crisis is over, I'm not leaving my bed for the next 3-5 business days.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

Samhain is one of my favorite fragrances, I wear the perfume oil all the time, and I'm now excited for every surface of my apartment to smell like taking a leisurely stroll in your friendly neighborhood haunted woods

Jessica Lee @ninsiana0.bsky.social · 5d

SAMHAIN home & linen spray: "Truly the scent of autumn itself — damp woods, fir needle, and black patchouli with the gentlest touches of warm pumpkin, clove, nutmeg, allspice, sweet red apple and mullein."

I'm contractually obligated to buy any perfume that allows me to smell like a book, and Dark Macadamia smells like rereading your favorite vampire novel in your favorite coffee shop--sweet & comforting & warm.

Jessica Lee @ninsiana0.bsky.social · 5d

DARK MACADAMIA perfume oil: "The warm, nutty richness of roasted macadamia folded into the dry papery musk of time-worn tomes bound in crackled leather; golden drips of beeswax candlelight flicker against polished teakwood shelves, while the smoky warmth of fireplace smoke lingers in the air."

My @bpal.bsky.social Halloween order arrived today, just in time to ease the fatigue & anxiety if the last few weeks.

I'm also waiting on a metric ton of decants, but these two fragrances were so very up my alley & I'm happy they're here.

A 5ml perfume oil bottle of Dark Macadamia, and a bottle of Samhain home & linen spray from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, surrounded by various orange & green gourds.

I want to go to my friend's birthday party, but that will require leaving my apartment (agoraphobia), going to a public bar I've never been to before (PTSD), with people I don't know, and I can't bring my dog (anxiety).
