from Scentzilla! @ Scentzilla!Hi, I’m not dead! Just looks that way, judging by how long it’s been since the last post was made. While I’m dilly-dallying over writing an actual perfume post, I thought I’d share some pictures.

from Michelle Krell Kydd @ Glass Petal SmokeAshes aren’t always the sign of a definitive end. When a wooded area has been rendered lifeless by flames, one of the first plants to signal the return of life is fireweed.
