EauMG’s September 2016 Favorites

October 12, 2016

Chichen Itza

September was such a busy month for us. It was like busy-good vs. busy-bad. But, it was really busy.

I spent about 2 weeks in Mérida, Mexico so you’re going to see this trip heavily influence my September/October favorites. This was a much needed vacation and we had a great time. It’s a lovely city with amazing people. We liked it so much that we’ll visit again. Also, how weird is this? Fellow perfume blogger, The Scented Hound, was there when I was down… Continue reading | 8 Comments

EauMG’s July 2016 Favorites

August 5, 2016

Jersey Shore

 

In comparison to June 2016, July was a less busy month; it’s the height of “lazy summertime”. I started feeling better and there was no traveling. It was a lazy month but that’s what I wanted. No regrets.

The heat was oppressive and I found myself staying indoors more than I would have liked. But, honestly I just did not feel like being out in 100º heat in a stinky city filled with clueless summer vacation tourists. We went to the Jersey Shore… Continue reading | 10 Comments

June was an absolutely crazy month. Looking back at my Smell Diary and Favorites, this seems to be a common theme with summers for me. June is one of those months where everything seems to happen.

The month started with me so sick with food poisoning (salmonella) that I was knocked out for a week severely dehydrated and malnourished. This resulted in a hospital visit which did help me recover. Unfortunately with my health stuff, I’m told I… Continue reading | 1 Comment

EauMG’s May 2016 Favorites

Catskills
Catskills

How is already June? This was compounded by my birthday. The older we get, the more time disorients us. I spent the first part of the month overly conscious of mortality and frankly, indulging in a pity party…more like a pity gala being more emo than 13 year old shopping at Hot Topic. We spent a weekend up in the Catskills (David’s birthday follows mine by ten days). This isolation, babbling brook and hot tub crashed my pity party. This was much needed.

The rest of the… Continue reading | 5 Comments

EauMG’s April 2016 Favorites

GOATS

April was a month that through me off from my usual routine. As I reported in my March Favorites, I had to go to Tennessee for a few weeks to help my mom recover from illness and surgery.

The good news, is that she is feeling much better now and is at home but it’s going to take her many months to feel “normal” again.

When I went down there, it was worse than I imagined. My sisters admitted to sort of… Continue reading | 6 Comments
