Bebe- did you ever try the pink peony jasmine yet?

HappyDaze — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 23:37:27 GMT

I've been wondering what your thoughts are on the scent. I was wondering if you happened to be the only one who could actually smell the jasmine, lol? Or if you are like most of us and smell that strong peony/rose type scent?

@HappyDaze, lol, did I ever happen to mention that I'm NOT a fan of rose perfumes. -- I love my (original) Fendi rose perfume, but it took the four Fendi sisters ten years to create it... and It's got oriental notes in it.

HD, I would have been more disappointed but I had read so many of the PJP reviews before I finally tried it, that I sort of knew that it would be an old type of rose scent... without a sign of jasmine.

The PJP scent is ok, and the CC works fine for my hair... but I won't be reordering it.

I'm just glad that I can sniff some jasmine in the Spring Orange Blossom (SOB)... even though it has some honeysuckle... but no jasmine in it.

lol, it's all good.

@bebe777 haha, okay. I just remember all the build up of it and never did hear your opinion.

I didn't know SOB had honesuckle in it! Oh my! I wonder if I should get some of the oil to try. Do they have any SOB oil left? I will have to check.

@HappyDaze SOB Oil is one of my favorites! Since its out of season, you might be able to find it on eBay. Or just bookmark it till next Spring. It smells amazing! To my nose, a lot like the CC, which I luv!

@HappyDaze You starting to feel more like yourself? Good to see you back with us.😊

@ANewHue thank you so much, my friend! I am getting there. I actually went to the gym for the first time since the operation and did 25 minutes on the treadmill- NO incline and just regular walking speed and that is it. It didn't even raise my heartrate but that is what my doctor wants. I will be doing that every other day for a few weeks then go 5 days a week until my follow to see if I am all healed up and can go back to my regular workouts, but starting off slow and easy at first, of course. Today wasn't the greatest day- I felt really tired most of the day. I hate the really tired days. Can't wait until those are gone, lol. How have you been? How are your workouts going? I've been thinking of you and hoping you are doing ok?

@Suz585 thank you for your input! LOL I fogot the "S" was for Spring, not summer, lol. I always mix the spring and summer ones up! I think I will wait until spring and finally just give it a try. I know many really love it so I think I should just give it a try. Ya never know, I may love the scent as much as SHL!

@HappyDaze. Wow, that's great you were at the gym. Good start off slow, you'll catch up in no time. Im impressed , it hasn't been that long for that type of surgery.I'm okay, today the stars aligned and I had a great productive day, did arms and abs after a brief hiatus. We had an unexpected sudden death in the family(SiL)and it shook me up a bit. You know how it goes when life happens. Just reminds me how precious life is and how we should live each day to the fullest because you never know.

@ANewHue oh wow sorry to hear about your SIL! Geez, life is so crazy sometimes, eh? I swear my parents are going to a funeral at least once a week now.

I am glad to hear you had a productive day! Hey, any little bit counts!!

Yeah it will be 4 weeks since the surgery as of this Thursday and my doctor said SLOW WALKING only, nothing else. Not even pilates, stretching or yoga! I am being so good but girl it is HARD not to go all ballz out again, lol! I won't though, I don't want to ruin the good surgery and end up hemorrhaging or creating more scar tissue or whatever. No way! I feel like a Miss Flabby McFlabberstine but hey, at least I'm letting myself heal completely and that is what matters most right now.

You take care of yourself and again, I am really sorry to hear about your SIL.

ANewHue — Wed, 08 Jun 2016 01:47:13 GMT

qI@HappyDaze. Thanks, I think it really shook me because she was my age and never sick. Even with my health issues when I'm good I'm great if you know what I mean, I don't feel my age but then again when I flare I feel like twice my age. Lol i

know what you mean about flabby, two weeks and those dang triceps are starting to flap. Lol. I'm just going to really concentrate on myself for a few weeks and try to workout as much as possible. that's good , but I know what you mean wanting to go full steam ahead but DONT . Practice patience. Lol glad you're almost as good and back with us. 😊

@HappyDaze, I just checked the ingredients deck for Spring Orange Blossom (SOB). While it doesn't have honeysuckle or jasmine mentioned, one or both of them could be in that mysterious "fragrance" ingredient. -- I've included the SOB CC ingredients deck listing below.

While I love the orange blossom top note, what i really love it that secondary honeysuckle / jasmine note... and that's why I wssn't as disappointed about the lack of a jasmine note (that I could smell) in the Pink Jasmine Peony.

I think the SOB and SHL was pretty much done by the end of May. -- The probably soon headed for the Wen Vault Spring Gardenia Green Tea (SGGT) was the only formula still left.

@HappyDaze, I'm so glad that you are slowly on the mend and making sure to exercise your body.

The frustrating part about all of this is that it just takes time... and during that time you only have a certain amount of energy. -- btw, don't worry about replying to my email. I just wanted to let you know that I care and that I was thinking about you. I know from my own surgery experience just how tired I was and how every little extra thing I needed to do just stressed me out. -- Right now your focus needs to be on you.

@bebe777 I think I'm stocked up on SGGT for now. I'm almost done with a bottle but I have another unopened 32 oz. bottle, plus I'm getting a spring AD delivery next month which is also SGGT.
