Hi APJ,
Life is hectic. Happily hectic. So much going on right now. Filling in for a couple of the girls at Trivia this week, so 5 nights in drag, right now I’m in Tasmania with one of my besties to have a look around for Friday & Saturday. Add that to a whole host of regular life stuff and I am also going back to Tupperware starting next week. I know, but I really do love the extra challenge.
What did I spritz today? I had a vintage Dive by Ungaro arrive this morning. You can bet your sweet ass that I triple spritzed my chest and WhoEEEEEE, boy did I drift away. Amazing, I could light up a town on my fumes.
Sing Us A Song……
So, long story short I’m putting up a song today. A video. One of the voices I’ve grown up with is Billy Joel. I love his music and sometimes I like to spritz myself heavily with a fragrance and put the music up a little loud, close my eyes and drift away. Piano Man is a perfect song for that. A few minutes to absolutely let all the troubles of the world go and I’m back i the game, refreshed, clear headed and often with an elusive answer.
Try it, it may work for you too.
Here’s today’s choice.
Billy Joel performs “Piano Man” with Kevin Spacey, Boyz II Men, Natalie Maines, Josh Groban, Gavin DeGraw, Tony Bennett, LeAnn Rimes and Michael Feinstein during the ceremony where he was honoured with the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song on November 19, 2014 at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C..
You may want to watch it the first time and then spritz, close your eyes for the second round.

Dear Portia,
As you suggest, I’m going to listen to that old piano man and then dig out my old Diva and give her a spritz. I know she is around her somewhere because I recently bought a new vintage bottle to replace the old vintage bottle that I couldn’t find. She will be in a very logical place – but where? 🙂 Everyday is a treasure hunt!

I love to be busy. I think it’s part of my genetic. There’s almost always room, you just have to plan a bit tighter.

Everytime I try to let go of a trouble another one seems to find me. Lol. I’ve got some modern Diva. I used up all my vintage before I knew it was vintage. If I knew then what I know now I would have rationed those old perfumes out more carefully.

That was so amazingly awesome, thank you! I grew up listening to Billy Joel and that brought tears to my eyes. I remember being a teenager sitting in my room and listening to those songs for hours. I am turning 50 tomorrow so it is great to take a trip down memory lane and remember my youth, with all the emotions and dreams I had back then.
