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.  (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly nostalgic!)  I remember when Moonlight Path from B&BW came out and it smelled so 'sophisticated' in comparison. 😆  When Mom passed, I saw she had a ton of those fragrances in a box that she bought for people for gifts so I took one and occasionally spray some when I need a boost or to feel her close.  Obviously, scent is a big thing for me and I'm grateful these scents haven't changed.

I recently made some lists on Spotify broken down by year omitting songs I never want to hear again but including some that weren't bad enough for me to turn it so I still know the words.  I want to feel like flipping the radio on and being taken back so that was fun to do.  

I don't really have places I can drive by anymore.  Every school I've ever gone to is torn down and rebuilt or closed.  Every restaurant Mom or the Mr and I ever went to are either gone or are nothing like they used to be.   There is the apartment we lived in where the Mr spent most of his college years with me but it's not exactly a place you can sit and reminisce without people looking at you sideways.

I see Chi Chi's is making a comeback and we'll make that road trip when the time comes and reviews roll in 

What takes you back?
