Lotions and Potions

I take only what I consider to be the bare necessities to Alaska, which is still a couple of generous toiletry bags full.  It’s a delight to come home to my vast array of bottles of things like exfoliating peppermint foot scrub, papaya masks, rosewater spray tonic, Lush bath bombs, five or six different nighttime eye creams, and a plethora of makeup.  I do pause to consider the reality that I haven’t needed any of these items for the past two months, and might not really need them at all; but that thought passes.  I have a very sensitive nose, and love good smelling smells and probably have 30 different perfumes, ranging from single note florals all the way to the complex and mysterious.  Maybe I’ll wear a different one every day for the next month.  I’ll choose the scent of the day, right after I wash off my green avocado moisturizing mask..
