Happy Friday and happy International Nurses Day aka Florence Nightingale’s birthday — thank you, nurses! It’s also Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) International Awareness Day and National Limerick Day aka Edward Lear’s birthday. Our community project for today: Italian Designer Friday…wear a fragrance by one of the mainstream Italian fashion brands we have not covered so far…maybe Versace, Dolce & Gabbana or Armani? Zegna, Ferragamo, Fendi? Roberto Cavalli, Valentino or Gianfranco Ferré? (We’ve already done Italian Niche, and we’ve done Prada and Gucci).
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
I went with Valentino Donna. It is not fitting my mood today and I will probably change to something else later. On an unrelated note, I want to say a huge thank you for the lovely prayer plant I received yesterday from NST commenters. That was unbelievably kind. Kindness is always appreciated but at the moment, even more so than usual. Thank you.
Reminder: on 5/19, we’re doing Dealer’s Choice, edition 7. Propose a theme for a Friday community project, and wear a fragrance that fits your theme.
And for those of you who like to plan ahead, see Scent of the day ~ Friday community projects 2023, where I’ll try (but usually fail) to have the next five or six weeks mapped out in advance.
