There was no way I couldn't get a blend that not only is brilliant in its purpose but also featured four of my favorite notes.

IN THE BOTTLE: Predominantly lavender but with a "tang" I could not place or at least could not attribute to one of the other notes listed as far as I remembered them being on me in the past.

Applied to one wrist and the crook of that arm (I always go for a dry and a moist spot, because they can dry down differently).

WET: Super duper lavender (which I adore) still with that slight "tang" which I saw in my mind as being slightly "coppery," almost like a penny (which is about one cent more than Drumpf is worth). It smelled identical on both my wrist and in the crook of my arm.

DRYDOWN: The drydown on me becomes SO much more complex ... the lavender fades or, more accurately, blends into the other notes so that, for me, NONE of them are identifiable as such but they unite to become something stronger and different and unique. I want to say there is something slightly woody (as opposed to woodsy) but I don't see any of the notes really resembling that remark so I can only attribute it to my weird sensory read.

OVERALL: I would call this a very gender neutral scent ... it's clean and, weirdly, "organized" ... It brings to mind a modern, clean office space, one that has yet to be moved into but is waiting for someone to come and take over the desk and do brilliant things (things that are not being done at that one big office we all know right near me in DC) ... It reminds me of the sticks you light in a beautiful vase to bring an aromatherapeutic cleansing to a place.

Crazy as it sounds, to me this is like a TAL blend ... I feel like it clears my mind, helps focus concentration and just gets rid of all the cobwebs as a cleanser.

Plus, it smells good.

IN THE BOTTLE: Light incense with a touch of sweetness I can't put my finger on without looking at notes, so assume is the bourbon vanilla or possibly the myrrh.

 

WET: Really, really nice when wet! Sweet incense with a touch of someplace far away that I've never been but it smells of travel and intrigue. I may be out of shape or maybe it's that I was coming off of a cold but I could not place a single individual note so it blends well.

 

DRYDOWN: As feared, the oudh (which doesn't always play well with me) and/or the myrrh (which can be grand in a bath oil but sometimes goes sweaty socks on me as a perfume) are more prominent than the benzoin and/or labdanum, two of my very favorite notes.

 

OVERALL: This is a really, really nice and unusual and complex yet well-formed blend but in final drydown it's just not "me" enough to be a keeper.

IN THE BOTTLE: Spicy carnations. Not really getting the honey or the orange peel, and can't tell if the white ginger is adding spice, but I'm getting something close to single note carnation (I'll add that I adore SN Carnation so this is not a bad thing).

 

WET: Super HOT but in a good way (and no red welts) ... I keep thinking I am smelling cinnamon or red-hots, neither of which is in the description, so that's probably just more ginger and carnation. I definitely do NOT get any honey on me and maybe a tiny bit of orange peel ... BTW, glad it's orange peel and not orange, because the mere word "orange" in the description was almost a deal breaker ... yet I love the scent of orange peel.

 

DRYDOWN: The original scent stays very true on the drydown but with more sweetness which I assume is the honey asserting itself ... I'd really call this, if I had to sum it up in two words, sweet carnation.

 

OVERALL: I absolutely adore this scent and it's something that if I happened to sniff someone else wearing it I'd hunt them down to find the culprit so I could ask what it was ... BUT it does not love me as much as I love it as a perfume.

 

If this was made as a bath oil, I'd buy a vat of it.

Prefacing this to say that in all my BPAL years (coming up on 14 or so, I think) I'd like to think that I have finally gotten to a point where I'll usually have a pretty good idea of what will "work" for me ... and when I read the notes in this, I felt like if THIS was not a keeper then I'd just give up ... that's how perfect it sounded to me unsniffed and unreviewed.

 

IN THE BOTTLE: The only way I can describe this is that is smells like comfort.

 

WET: ALL THE FEELZ. Gorgeous, incensey, all the warm and comforting smells of BPAL favorites of the past rolled into one ... truly huffable.

 

DRYDOWN: Comforting and still ever-so-slightly incensey. This is a perfect perfume. It's the kind of scent I'd be totally comfortable wearing "out," not afraid to offend someone that I smell too this or that ... it dries very subtly ... when I say it's kind of "perfumey" I do NOT mean that as an insult but rather it has a subtle high-end scent that just elevates it ...

 

OVERALL: WE HAVE A WINNER and I can still pick'em (and of course Beth can still make 'em) ... and now my box is full.

IN THE IMP: Very very very CLEAN. Lavender for sure and a clean, fresh, bright note that just makes me think of a clear cloudless blue sky rather than something with an actual scent. Stillness is the perfect name for this.

 

WET: Still just very very clean. I think it may be the chamomile that is predominant ... it is "soapy" but not in a bad way for me. Hey, I like soap.

 

DRYDOWN: The lavender comes out more as it dries but more like a dried lavender sachet. I smell sort of old ladyish, but hey, I AM an old lady!

 

OVERALL: I find this really lovely and calming. I don't think it's right for me as a perfume scent but I'd buy it in a heartbeat as an atmo or bath oil.

IN THE IMP: I actually did not "get" ANY of the listed notes and definitely not the lavender ... if I had not known what the notes were, I would have thought it was some sort of fruit. I got lightly fruit and clean and clear.

 

WET: Still somehow overall "fruity" on me. Can't place the lavender OR the gardenia OR the cedar. I get fruit and a dry, cold air.

 

DRYDOWN: Still that ineffable fruitiness but it's going more herbal ... like a sachet or air freshener but not in a bad fake way ... it's possible, I suppose, that what I'm reading as "fruit" is the rich lush gardenia, and the sachet is the cedar and the fresh clean scent is the lavender.

 

OVERALL: This is really interesting to me. I like all three listed notes but wouldn't have thought to have them together, and on me (take that as a grain of salt) they are interacting nicely but all totally morphing from how they tend to react to me individually.

 

Not a keeper but a very interesting and appealing scent.

I confess that I am not a big "hair gloss" user ... for whatever reason (possibly age or just the texture of my hair) it doesn't really "do" anything for me ... that said, every so often there is an HG scent that speaks to me so much that I'll buy a bottle and just use it as a light body spray or something ...

 

This was one of them and I am so glad I got it!

 

LiberAmoris put it perfectly (as she usually does!) ... I love the ginger in it ... often for me, gingerbread per se goes a little too cakey/foody, but ginger itself is divine (as in Shub, all things Shub) ... I also love champaca (my golden champa attar SN is one of my most beloved BPALs ever) ... and the two are both perfectly represented in this scent, just enough and not too much of either one.

OMG FIRST? I will take the plunge (heh heh bath joke) simply because right now I'm just completely fakakakakakata verklempt over this scent!

I am massively regretful that I only bought two ... I had a very good feeling about the combination of dragon's blood and blood musk fizz, but you never really know what something will smell like until you get it.

I will try to describe ... it's shmexy, sensuous, ever-so-slightly sinful smelling. The musk is, indeed, somehow fizzy and bloody and the dragon's blood (which often to me smells like a lush hothouse white flower, which is not a bad thing at all) just blends with this to make it smell like ... well, a spicy hot incensey resiny boudoir that you never ever ever want to stop sniffing.

This is maybe the single most truly huffable scent ever ...

The bath bomb itself is GORGEOUS ... with little tiny "droplets of blood" I think on top LOL ...

If you love your bath smelling sexy and sensuous and kind of the way I'd imagine Theda Bara's baignoir would have smelled, and you can get your hands on one or more of these babies (or perhaps Puddin' will consider taking this amazing scent and offering an entire line of bath goods in it ... bombs, bath oils, lotions, candles, you name it, I'll buy it!) DO NOT HESITATE ... and I promise you that if you get it and don't love it, I'll take it off your hands

Thought I was going to go away from the Weenies empty-handed until I stumbled across the notes in this one.

 

IN THE BOTTLE: OMFG. Glorious golden resiny awesomeness. Something ever-so-slightly "soda" (probably for me the labdanum).

 

Dabbed on wrist and in crook of arm.

 

WET: One of the most divine (no pun intended) ecclesiastical scents this nice Jewish girl has sniffed. The saffron, I suspect, sets it apart (since that is also a note in Scheherezade -- sorry for misspelling of the scent but that's how I'm accustomed to spelling it so not even sure what is CQ -- and Schehwhatever is one of my favorite GCs and I have two beautiful bottles, one to wear and one to age).

 

DRYDOWN: Stays true to its wet beauty. Pure resiny glorious gold.

 

VERDICT: The first blind bottle buy that's been a keeper in YEARS. It somehow stays strong and true and yet also light enough to not get overwhelming later on.

 

I won't buy a second bottle because I do have many scents from this "family" (I loves me the churchy resiny stuff) but do hope this might be released in some similar forms!

To preface, I SO get so many of the descriptors in previous previews ... elegant, classy, sophisticated, etc.

 

IN THE IMP: Ageless, light, perfumey (in the sense that I do not get specific notes from this but rather the evocation of "perfume" of old, when everyone knew its name).

 

Dabbed on my wrist and in the crook of my arm.

 

WET: An elegant, classic perfume. I do not actually "get" any of the notes or scents in the description ... no Chanel, no snake oil, no lilac, not even the lavender. I get clean but not "soapy" quite ... more like, to be honest, baby shampoo. That clean clear scent.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: I don't know if my nose if just not on point today but I cannot identify a single note. And the drydown remains pretty much identical in description to how it smelled when first applied. And that continues throughout the entire time I am wearing it until my nighttime bath.

 

OVERALL: Like others have said, this is a classic, elegant, timeless blend.

 

Beth seems to conjure up something that is at once familiar of the generations past and yet unique and fresh in her own read of it ... if they only had a Project Runway for scent geniuses, she would run away with the title as I think she could come up with something unique for every challenge they threw at her.

 

Sadly, though, it's just not really "me" and as such I will cherish having gotten to enjoy all of these beautiful (and beautifully evocative and descriptive and filled with love) scents I've gotten to try and know that down the road in May they will find a wonderful home somewhere.

 

My loss will be Boobiepalooza Box's big gain

I confess I sort of bought this on a whim. I was not looking to blind bottle buy but when I saw the list of notes my inner clove and stuff lover just hit "BUY."

 

IN THE IMP: This is SOOOO hard for me to describe. Smoky incense tempered by something weirdly fruity and fresh, aquatic or green. I cannot for the life of me figure out from the notes listed what those would be.

 

Applied to my wrist and in the crook of my arm with clean toothpick.

 

WET: If there is such a thing as an aquatic smoky incense this scent is it. I don't know much about churches but I think this is pretty ecclesiastical smelling. But it's not stuffy. It's green and fresh.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: As it dries, it becomes less resiny and more green and oddly mysterious.

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: In the end, for whatever reason and whatever note, it ends up going kind of fruity on me (a green fruit, maybe one that is not yet ripe).

 

I think this is a scent people would really love but given my box of keeper bottles and my limited life expectancy, I can't see reaching for it over my glut of other churchy-resiny scents (IF, however, this were to be released as a bath oil, I'd buy it in a heartbeat).

... and so this beautiful bottle will go into the Boobiepalooza box to find a happy home this spring.

IN THE IMP: Resiny rose.

 

Applied to a wrist and in the crook of my arm.

 

WET: Rose and myrrh in its lovely wet stage (myrrh has a tendency to sometimes turn "sweaty socks" on me when it dries down in perfume blend form though it stays awesome when it's, say, in a bath oil). Very resiny and rich and best of all NO IRIS at this point. The wet scent is quite simply exquisite.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: I dabbed this really sparingly for fear of the myrrh but it's got a TON of throw even so ... the initial early drydown stays true to the wet scent.

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: This is a really great great great blend. It's resiny and rosey and incensey and I get no iris floral from it (yay!). It stays really very true, on me at least, from imp to drydown, though I would say in the very final stages it leans more towards rose petals than anything else.

 

VERDICT: So, this is a toughy. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this scent. I would suggest people use it very sparingly because a little goes a long way. If you like frankincense and myrrh this is something for you! I tend to be reluctant to wear perfumes that might bother others, and this may be a YMMV scent ... OTOH I don't go out much so I think this is one where I'll just dab some on when I'm home alone

 

In the end, this will come as no surprise to Puddin' if he's reading this because he knows I am absolutely ADDICTED to his Frankincense and Myrrh AND Frankincense, Myrrh and Rose Petals bath oils, but I wish the Post might turn this one into a bath oil because I'd buy it by the gallon. It would be SOOOOO good in so many other forms as well ... candle? Bath bomb? Atmo? Hair gloss? I could keep going but I won't.

SO interesting that Ragamuffin mentioned metal because at least I know I'm not going crazy here!

 

IN THE IMP: I know this sounds weird but the first image I got was when I was a kid and would root around in my mom's old pocketbooks, filled with old tissues and lipstick and loose change and tobacco. That musty and musky and metallic blend of nostalgia.

 

Applied to wrist and in crook of arm.

 

WET: I'm getting the weirdest combination of "new car smell" and something almost industrial ... metal, leather, rubber (like rubber footmats) ... very masculine.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: The lavender does rise as it dries down but it's ... for lack of a better way to describe it ... "guy" lavender and not "girl" lavender ... more of a cologne than light sachet and herbs blowing in a Provence field.

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: It is a very interesting and complex scent. It evokes cars, machines, manly men doing things with calloused hands and then putting on cologne for an evening out.

 

VERDICT: Definitely not for me but buy some for the man in your life if you like lavender and maybe fool him into thinking it's called God of Mischief.

Just to preface, I admit I bought this for the OB. I ADORE OB, don't see it often, and held out hope after reading the reviews.

 

IN THE IMP: Sweet and golden and round but not quite fruity and not a note I can put a finger on.

 

Applied to wrist and to crook of arm.

 

WET: Interestingly, the first note to really rise on me is the amber, but a wet and sweet amber, perhaps tempered by the vanilla, with a teensy-tiny bit of wood (the oudh?). Very pleasant, soft, nice.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: There is something slightly perfumey about this, like a scent that would be a huge hit with younger girls/women who are just venturing into finding "their first scent." The one that will lead them down all sorts of paths but will always remind them of becoming a young woman. A little creamsicle-y for me.

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: It actually goes a little "nutty" on me, as if there were almond in it ... which I guess could be the vanilla. Sweetly nutty, pleasant, soft.

 

VERDICT: Definitely not "me." Sadly, I never got anything that I associated with orange blossom. But I can see this being a very popular scent and one that I think would be a great gift, as mentioned, for the young woman/girl/teen in your life that you might want to "turn on" to BPAL ... the message of course is a wonderful one, and it's a lovely scent. It's just not for me. To the Boobiepalooza Box with the jumbo imps.

IN THE IMP: Very very honeysuckle which for me is a good thing (admit to having been a little leery of the lilies and sage, but loves me my honeysuckle and honey).

 

Applied lightly to one wrist and crook of arm (to get the dry skin and the wet skin responses).

 

WET: Honeysuckle and a little honey. Yay! In fact, for me (and YMMV) when wet this is MUCH closer to a SN Honeysuckle than the Wild Honeysuckle SN of a few months ago was, because for me that was very "green" and this is hothouse floral honeysuckle like the bush in my yard.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: Fingers continue to be crossed. The initial drydown remains pure-on honeysuckle.

 

LATER DRYDOWN: And heeeeere is where the lilies and sage start to pop up which takes me out of my euphoria. Lilies really are not my friend. The throw is VERY long and VERY strong ... to the point that even after taking a shower that night, I could still faintly sniff it in the crook of my arm the next morning (at that point it was back to just honeysuckle).

 

FINAL VERDICT: This is a tough one for me. I love love love honeysuckle and this is a really good one. The attack of the lilies and sage was very brief (though not much fun). BUT ... given how very little I applied and how long and strong the throw remained on me, I think I would be very reluctant to wear this anywhere for fear of bothering people who do not like smellies. Honeysuckle and that ilk tend to be a love-it-or-hate-it thing.

 

Looking at my life expectancy versus my box of keepers, I believe both of these (beautifully oversized) imps will be going into the Boobiepalooza box for 2018.

IN THE IMP: Sharp and yet not acrid. The tar is prevalent but ever-so-slightly sweet and resinous so there is hope!

 

WET: Sharp, resinous and rich. Not sweet at all.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: Woody/woodsy, sharp but not acrid ... the sad thing for me is I'm not really getting the "oppo" which to me tends to turn "cola" and as such becomes one of my favorite notes.

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: Woody/woodsy and dark. I really really like this scent but it is somehow (I hate to put it like this but can't find a better way) too "masculine" for me.

 

A few notes ... it goes oddly "salty" on my wrist but stays truly resinous in the crook of my arm ... I'd love this on "my man" but he does not like smellies ... I think this would make an AMAZEBALL candle or atmo spray or even bath oil but I don't think it works for me as a perfume which makes me sad because it smells FABULOUS.

IN THE IMP: Cannot put my finger on these notes AT ALL. Clean, fresh, resiny.

 

Oddly, when I ordered to decants I missed the part about leather which tends to be a dealbreaker for me ... yet, even more oddly, the leather is never an issue for me during my testing.

 

WET: Ohhhhhh ... amazeballs on my picky skin. NO leather at all! Lovely and what I call "medicinal" (a term I coined for certain BPAL scents in a very positive way). Resiny goodness.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: An unbelievably comforting scent.

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: I love this. LOVE it. Total keeper. Not quite enough to buy a bottle (I've found as I get older that two imps are enough since I have SO many sniffies and don't wear then every day and don't expect to live to be 100).

IN THE IMP: Spicy carnation and clove with a slight softness and a tiny bit of soap.

 

WET: Definitely carnation-spicy! Almost single note carnation on first sniff but then it's offset by the powdery rose and the mellowing amber. Minimal clove at all. I am loving the whiffs I get when I'm typing. Not overpowering at all.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: The clove, she is rising.

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: In the end, too powdery for me (the rose). It's not soapy to my nose, it just loses the spice and goes too sweet.

 

... It goes into the Boobiepalooza Package of Awesome (a yooge package of awesome sniffies et al I'll be raffling off For The Boobies. Stay tuned).

IN THE IMP: Smells like perfection. Seriously. It reminds me of Scherezade, one of my Top 5 all-time scents.

 

WET: OMGYESOMGYES. NO words but "perfect" come to mind. This was the scent I had the highest hopes for, with the concern that the oudh might be a dealbreaker. But wet this is the perfect resin/musk/amber with no byproducts.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: So as it dries down I get a little less Scherezade and a little more sweetishness (which I think is the oudh).

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: The sad mouse's tail. This is SOOOOO close to being Scherezade's twin sister with dragon's blood thrown in for good measure (and i love DB). I thought it would be a two-bottle buy. I really did. Then as it dried down more I thought, okay, maybe one bottle. But sadly, the more it dried down, the more it just went "sweetish" on me.

 

There are a few scents that are SOOOOO perfect when wet but then just don't quite work when dry on me, that I KNOW KNOW KNOW would be AMAZEBALLS on me as a bath oil. This is one of them (the other, you ask? ENVY). I'd be ecstatic if this was released as a bath oil and would probably buy two bottles but as it is I'll just stick with my two decants and not purchase any more until I can figure out a way to turn it into bath oil! (For whatever reason, the notes that don't work on me as a long-lasting perfume stay true in bath oil form).

This had me at ylang ylang. Even with one or two notes of doom, I HAD to get two decants. I love what Beth does with ylang ylang and she doesn't do it enough (IMHO), plus j'adore benzoin.

 

IN THE IMP: Floral but with a "kick."

 

WET: I am DEFINITELY getting the YY here (yay!) along with the amber and red sandalwood (yay and yay!). I had dabbed this on VERY lightly to try it but dabbed a little more on after initial sniff.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: This is super nice. Not too strong, so I think it would be a good scent for newbies who aren't sure if they'd like something yet and don't want to make a commitment. While I await the results of the "sweaty myrrh" test, I find the initial drydown to be an outstanding wet/dry blend of resins and floral.

 

FINAL DRYDOWN: Stronger but nice. YY still predominant which makes me happy. This reminds me A LOT of Twilight, one of the first three blind bottles I bought of BPAL when I was FIRST turned on to the company and had a mazillion scents to choose from. I am not sure, honestly, whether the name (Disastrous Twilight) is a deliberate hint that the two scents are somehow linked or just a coincidence.

 

Out of six decants I bought from this series, this is one of the two keepers for me.

IN THE IMP: Sharp and pungent and slightly metallic.

 

Applied to wrist and in crook of arm.

 

WET: More incense and amber and frankincense than anything else (this is a good thing for me). Definitely much nicer on during wet application than I would have expected in imp sniff. While this may not be a "clear" description, for me it smelled "sweeter" on my fingertip (where a little came off) whereas on wrist and in crook it was "rounder" and more full-bodied.

 

INITIAL DRYDOWN: Lovely drydown! It goes totally amber/incense on me with no nasty side effects other than the very remote possibility of "sweaty myrrh" in the background (while I love frankincense, most of the time myrrh turns into sweaty socks with my body chemistry).

 

FINAL DRYDOWN AND VERDICT: A nice, lovely amber incense on the "dry" spots of my body (wrist, for example). However, I like to wear my sniffies in my "sweaty spots" (e.g., crook of my arm, cleavage) and in the long run, the "sweaty myrrh" would preclude me from reaching for this so ...

 

... It goes into the Boobiepalooza Package of Awesome (a yooge package of awesome sniffies et al I'll be raffling off For The Boobies. Stay tuned).

Welcome to the wonderful world of BPAL!

 

While the notes you list may seem particular and specific, you will find SOOOOOO many amazing BPAL blends that include them (we sound like scent twins LOL) ... I'd have to look over years and years worth of my own reviews but my advice to you would be to set aside an evening (or two), and go over the reviews here on the forum ... definitely start with the "General Catalogue" scents for more immediate gratification and more likelihood of finding them.

 

Scherezade is a win win win in my book, maybe my favorite GC scent, period.

 

One of my top three is absolutely Shub Niggurath, but be forewarned that the very most prominent note(s) in that is/are GINGER and that is one you don't list. If you don't think you'll like ginger, Shub may not be for you. It's amazing, though. The third I'd suggest that is not on your list but is a GC is Fenris Wolf which is very ambery and musky and sandalwoody and delicious.

 

Good luck and have fun! Swaps and buying up big bags of GC imps are a good way to start ... even ones you don't like, you can include in future swaps for ones you DO like or want to try! You'll find BPALers to be very generous and helpful ... I'd definitely try to start with folks who are local to you though (countrywise) because otherwise the shipping (both price and manner of having to go to the PO and do paperwork) can put some people off (I, admittedly, will no longer swap or buy internationally for this reason ... my local PO is awful).

 

But there are BPAListas all over the world and many are less crotchety than I am!

[No additional description given.]

There was no way in the world I was NOT going to buy a bottle of this, especially since I had held out on the entire BPAL Luper list (until today, when I finally caved and ordered a bottle of Initiation Sentimentale in faint hope that the white tea note might not overpower everything else in it, but I digress) ...

I'm a big fan of how the Lab and the Post works it chocolate/cocoa magic in its scents, and some of my very favorite products are cocoa/chocolate based (Gelt, Tezcatlipoca et al) but sometimes the "other" notes combined in the boxes of chocolate will scare me off.

When I saw just OG Dark Chocolate and Cocoa Cream I HAD to go for it! Yeah, yeah, cream can sometimes go icky sweet on me but if it's playing with chocolate, how bad could it be?

My faith paid off big time ... this is absolutely delicious and mesmerizingly so ...

A tiny bit sweeter in the bottle, once it's in the hot water it's just rich and complex and even ever-so-slightly spicy/herbal, unique enough that every delicious whiff is a treat!

There is SOMETHING I can't put my finger on that keeps it from just being a giant chocolate bunny in your face ... is it a spice? I'd almost have guessed this was Mexican chocolate if I hadn't seen the name of it (and while I don't want to call out another company, what it reminds me of a little bit is a lavender-and-chocolate combination someone makes which doesn't really smell like lavender at all but has a similarly mesmerizing chocolate-and-SOMETHING AWESOME smell).

Anyway ... if you like or love chocolate but fear it will be a little too too too sweet, do NOT fear that here ... it's sweet and spicy and evocatively SHMEXY as well. I will have to be careful to not just go through this big bottle in a week. Luckily, with the Post's bath oils, a little goes a long way.

This is AWESOME!!!

Thank you so much, WHOA!!!!!!

APOLOGIES in advance if this is something that has been addressed and answered in this thread ... 40 pages, my eyes are sort of rolling and glazed ... and I could not find anything I could understand in the technical sections of the forum ... so ...

 

I know a BIG part of the fun when receiving your circular swap item is the unboxing and squeeing and posting PHOTOS ... but to this day I have yet to figure out how to do that here.

 

Can anyone please help? Do I HAVE to create a Flicker account and upload pictures there and then post the link into a post here?

 

Is there anyone ... anyone ... who could please give this technidiot a step-by-step tutorial on the easiest way to post photos in a post (I use my iPhone as my camera and post on a MacBook Air if that helps!)

 

Thanks in advance ... hoping the Pampering Senses IGIs start coming in soon ... I know one person who will have THEIR package Thursday! <3
