I was sent samples of all three scents – Glorious Mandarin, Gracious Tuberose and Gorgeous Gardenia. All of them floral, sweet and watery and created to harmonize with one another – though I have to admit I’m too scared to mix perfumes and see if it’s possible to not die from the vapors, lol.

My favorite out of the three has got to be the Gracious Tuberose – it’s stronger than the others, with a bit of warmth and a nice bite at the end. Watery, but not too watery, with some white flower notes in there somewhere. Just lovely.

Want To Try It?

I’m giving away 3 sample files here, each 2ml, and all I need from you is to share this post then email me at faith AT beautifulsin.net and let me know where you’ve shared it – I’ll pick 3 people at random and send them their sample in the mail!

When I started fixing it, I asked a friend of mine if he had any idea how it could have happened – since I’m quite careful with my information, even when I’m not connected to the internet. He then asked me if I’d ever considered using an ad blocker software to keep me from accidentally loading ads that may download malware or viruses onto my computer.

Of course I do, I have a combination of popup blocker (which generally does the trick) and two different flash and banner blockers to cover those ads and even stop Youtube videos from automatically loading.

He said I should have been fine, and then asked – suddenly – if I watch any videos on Facebook. That was probably the thing that did it, because I’m not opposed to a funny political cartoon now and then. I’m thinking of looking into a new adblocker system like Adguard that has pretty much only one function – to keep the user away from malicious content and phishing websites that can hijack their computers. They do it via blocking unwanted ads, which is what I thought I was doing. Trust me, you want to really look at what you’re doing online!

No more Facebook videos for me. :/

It drives me crazy when people like Republicans claim that poor people are all lazy and on welfare, or a drain on society, when I haven’t used any government socialized program (except for Social Security, which my Republican mother collected for me while I was in school for which I have never seen a dime – but it kept her and my stepdad from having to work, I guess) in my life. No Medicaid, no welfare, no food stamps. I haven’t been to a doctor or dentist in almost 13 years, which was when I had my last vacation. Laota and I work through sprains, bruises, broken bones and dislocated limbs as we sort of stay in limbo without the ability to move forward. I’m not a drain on society, I tread water non stop to keep from going under, but it’s just getting worse and I’m scared.

There’s not much to this post except for that I’m having a mini freak out and I needed to get it off my chest.

So, basically, I have absolutely no time and I’m stressed beyond the telling. And now it’s tax time, so it’s one hundred and fifty percent worse!

I have no problem with tax time, I don’t make much and my taxes are never a problem, always on time and I’ve never had any issues with them. It’s my Mom and Stepdad I’m worried about. They get lazy and put their taxes off then, at the last minute, it becomes OUR problem!

In their defense, I can see why they don’t want to handle it themselves, because it’s terrifying. All those receipts, no order to them! They spend money like it’s going out of style on everything but tax help. Because why spend a little money on accounting software when my sister and I can be bullied into doing their taxes and keeping their books for free?

It’s looming! I hate it when the extra work starts looming! I’m no good with accounting, anyway, and I’m always worried I’ll screw something up then there’ll be some big audit and it’ll be all my fault. That’s setting aside the fact that they have no business forcing their taxes down my throat, anyway.

It’s not like I don’t have enough to do, I sincerely don’t need their work, too!
