Memorial Day musings

Happy Monday, everyone, and if you’re in the U.S., happy Memorial Day to you! Take a moment today, if you will, to remember service members around the world, past and present.

Since it’s a holiday here and many folks are in and out, traveling, etc., especially with graduations, let’s keep this short and sweet.

I’m hanging out at home today, going to put on my domestic goddess hat and get some house-y stuff done; DH and son have gone to play tennis and enjoy a little pool time.

What are your plans for today, and what fragrance will you be wearing? What are your favorite summer holiday / cookout scents, whether out to Aunt Betty’s backyard barbecue, to that picnic in the park, to a friend’s pool party? Or around the firepit or fireplace, for those of you who are chilling in the Southern Hemisphere?

It’s going to be warm but not too hot here for our Memorial Day, so no need to pull out the heavy-duty heat-busters yet. I need something I can dab on; I’m almost over a nasty bout of bronchitis, so I’m a bit gun-shy of spraying anything at all as I don’t want to get anything up my schnoz and spark a coughing fit.

I’m considering something moderately cool and refreshing, maybe something along the lines of Frederic Malle’s Cologne Indelible, Byredo’s La Tulipe or Guerlain’s Cologne du Parfumeur.

In fact, better yet, a dab of some Coty Muguet des Bois, which a wonderful Posse pal sent to me the other day. That will be a fun blast past from the past since I adored that when I was young, always filching a spritz from the tester when we visited the store.

Wherever you are or whatever you’re doing on this Memorial Day, enjoy yourselves, lovely Posse folks!
