Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust.

Always love hot chocolate but this time of year I gotta have me some eggnog too and I have never liked the alcoholic kind. Just give it to me straight up!

ReplyDeleteWell, when I'm not being lazy, I try to drink tea. I love hot chocolate and have all the stuff for it, but I have yet to enjoy a cup this year...literaly, a year! I've had to throw out more stale marshmallows than I care to admit. Every weekend I say I should make some hot chocolate, then I see a shiny piece of cellophane wrapper on the floor from a random dog biscuit and my mind is already off subject. Hence, I mostly drink water. ROFL
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a tea drinker, but I do like hot chocolate, cider and eggnog. I'm not much of a drinker, but once in a while I do like to add a little "kick" to whatever I'm drinking.
ReplyDeleteHomemade hot chocolate, with chocolate pieces, and a shot (or two) of Peppermint Schnapps!
