PerfumeSonoma Scent Studio Updates

Checking in…

written by Laurie October 25, 2013

I wanted to check in with a little update. My arm is doing quite a bit better. It’s not up to normal strength, but my flexibility has improved and I’m able to use it for light tasks now. I’d like to get back to some blending this weekend. I’m taking a few orders via email, but I’m still limiting them until I’m fully up and running. I’d like to put the cart up in time for the holidays.

Victoria posted a review of Spiced Citrus Vetiver on EauMG a couple days ago. Thanks, Victoria! I agree with your comments about the naturals vs synthetics issue. Like you, I enjoy both mixed media and all-natural scents, and I am disappointed when brands intentionally advertise as all-natural when they are not.

Good to hear you know how to pace yourself as lots of people do not know how. As they say in Asia

Walk slow
Watch flower grow

Ha, and then you can make it into a perfume! And ‘watch’ the maceration.

Yes, there’s something to be said for living mindfully! Thanks, Jordan. I’ve learned the hard way to pace myself. I want to be sure I’m beyond the point of easy re-injury before I put the cart up, but it sure feels good to have a useful left arm again!

I’m so glad your arm is better, Laurie. That latest amber you sent me has been on my mind..:) Hope all is well!

Thanks, Melissa. I want to get back to that too, and the floral musk. 🙂 Hope all’s well with you too!
