BIRTHDAY TIME 2015!!!
It’s a great day to turn 47 and enjoying it with my mates. It’s also a good time to think about the many who didn’t last this long, thanks all for looking out for me in the whatever happens next.
For my birthday please close your eyes and think of three things in your life that you like or love. As simple as stationary or complex as partner.DO IT PLEASE.
Done it?
My gift to you is three things to be grateful for. HOW LUCKY ARE YOU?
Thanks for being my fragrant family. Each and every one of you has made this journey special so far, and it’s only just begun.

Happy, happy birthday, a bit late! I turned 47 a few months ago, and it is indeed a good age to be. Any day that encompasses three beloved perfumes is a celebration in itself. Maybe I’ll try it tomorrow in your honor. Glad you had a wonderful time, but remember to pace yourself. My cousin Shelby celebrates an annual Birthmonth. xxx
