Cupboard devoid of Christmas goodies, feeling jaded, cold and dreaming of lighter, warmer days? Me too - but I ain’t no Fairy Godmother (sadly!)
BUT, why not tap into some creative, sensory escapism with the recent ‘Perfume Special’ edition of Aromatika Magazine. Filled with exotic and delicious articles on all things fragrant and botanical. Oh, and a little piece by me on the use of Olfaction in creativity ….
Friends and colleagues will testify to my love of books and my extensive collection (no, it is not called hoarding, tsk!). Although a professional hazard (or benefit!) I have a vast perfume sample and essential oil collection together with a generous range of smell-related books. In addition to non-fiction titles, I have always loved reading fiction that weaves rich olfactory language through the story or uses scent and our sense of smell as a hook.
I have long wanted to combine these two passions and offer a bookclub, Covid kind of threw me a curveball and my plans were derailed, but no longer, nooooooo.
So, without further ado, please welcome an immersive, sensory inspired reading experience, my book club is here - trumpets please :
ScentSational Books
Where scent meets story! More than a bookclub,
A new year ahead …and in the spirit of ‘exploration’, I’m excited to share a year long ‘mindset’ experience with Joanna Hunter and her community; where we’ll be tapping into intuition and journaling as a tool to challenging limiting beliefs around money.
Well, I am a little late in noting this but it’s been a hectic few weeks. I was SOO pleased to have written a contribution to the popular Perfume edition of Aromatika magazine and a modest quote in Dazed magazine for a fascinating article on perfume and our shadow self!
