I’m not sure when my obsession with and addiction to perfumes started, but I just know that the list of perfumes I want keep getting longer. I actually haven’t bought one in a while (with the exception of the last one I bought *cough*), so I’m doing pretty good, but that doesn’t mean that my list of wanted perfumes isn’t growing. The title of my life of wanted perfumes reads: <\/span>Wanted: Full or Half!  <\/span><\/b>Here’s a picture of what I have right now.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Out of the 38 listed above, I only have 29 left. Darn. That’s sad. These people are milking me. Although I cannot find my list of wanted perfumes, the top four – in order of preference – are clear:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span>
I confess I have this problem, and admission, they say, is the first step to healing. However, I do not wish to be healed or cured of this addiction. I love perfumes. A big smile creeps up on my face when someone says, <\/span>“You smell good.”<\/span><\/i> I don’t use the perfumes for validation from people, of course, but smelling good is a favorite past time of mine.<\/span><\/span><\/span>

<\/span> <\/span><\/span>
So, what are you smelling like today?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
