Hey there APJ Crew,
This week my girlfriend Miharu has been in town from Japan. We used to be buddies back in my showgirl days and it’s been nice to see her again. Loads of fun perfume choices and hanging out with Jin. Work was BUSY too.

Hey there APJ Crew,
So many perfumes I’ve not worn in ages. This warm weather has brought them all out to play. Saw some buddies, worked a bit, hung around with Jin. Lovely week Chez Portia .

Well hello APJ
I am roaming around Scotland as you read this, although I am sat here writing it a good week beforehand. It is gonna be the shortest post ever as I am up to my eyeballs in cookie dough, packing, decanting, and attempting an online checkin. altho I lived in England for some years I never made it up to Scotland. I have always wanted to go and we finally booked a week there. A couple of days in Edinburgh and the we will head up to Fort William and see that happens along the way. What scents am I taking?

Hey there APJ! How is everyone doing?
Summer is my absolute favorite season. The long bright sunny days full of warmth hitting every pore of my body make my heart pulsate with pure joy. Barefoot feet, leisurely days by the pool side, lazy mornings sleeping in and days where I can decide on a whim or fancy what to do take years of stress and weight off of my shoulders. This is cherished time with my son who enjoys summer as much as or if not more than I do.

Hey there APJ Crew,
HOW did I fit all this into a week? Continuing last weeks theme of Netflix and perfumes. There was a bit of travel, a visit to Chicago the musical, loads of friends, fun and food. It felt like Jin and I really got to see each other quite a lot this week, that’s a win in anyones books. Also, the ankle is improving, YAY!

Saturday Question: What Size Bottles Do You Prefer?

Hello Fellow Fumies,
At APJ we have a Saturday Question. Everyone gets to chime in with an answer, chat with other responders and it’s a fun event each week. Taking sides never means taking offence and everyone keeps it respectful and light, even though we can sometimes trawl the depths.
The idea is you’ll see it on the weekend or chime in through the week. Hopefully you will come back regularly and see if anyone has responded to your comment and you can reply to them. The aim is to generate real conversation and connection even though we are scattered around the globe.
What Exactly is Heavy Rotation for a Perfumista? CQ’s Summer Scents.

Well hello there APJ
I recently read a post from one of my favourite UK bloggers, where he mentioned that he had a certain perfume in heavy rotation. I found this highly amusing and dropped him a message asking what exactly heavy rotation meant. “Twice” he replied, which was one more time than I thought he would say.
I was totally inspired by Tara’s Most Worn – Summer 2019 post of last week. It not only had me looking at what I had been wearing, but also stirred the above thoughts on perfume rotation.

Hey there APJ Crew,
This week was hectic. I seem to have been running from pillar to post all week. Every day has been chock full of stuff. So many mates, work drama still and some sensational fragrance. Good week, lucky to be alive in this moment.
Vintage Perfumes: Should I Dive In?

Heya APJ! How are you doing?
It has been too darned hot to wear and smell perfume. Temperatures have soared to the near 40 degree mark and that is when my skin just says – water please, otherwise we will melt away. We live next to a pool and I am so shocked of how cold the water still is. Besides you can’t actually swim any laps as people are just standing in the water to cool off. It really isn’t my cup of tea, but I need to go for my son. So, please forgive me but I have nothing about perfumes I am currently wearing. I smell like suntan lotion and perspiration. Yuck.
