The balance between my wants and fears
Recently I thought about all of the people full of potential we have lost too soon. All of the people who still haven’t made their mark. How I still haven’t made mine. I considered the amount of anxiety I have when it comes to putting myself out there. The amount of fear I feel is…

Uh, about the hype on Vanilla 28
I was very confused. When I read the notes, and especially the name, I prepare myself for a deliciously sweet gourmand fragrance. What I got was certainly not that.
