I am thrilled that have I helped you in that way. I still do have nostalgia for the act of holding a glass of red wine in the winter or thinking about a sip of champagne when I'm in France one day, but I still have no desire to drink. Instead I shall enjoy my bubbles (Perrier) from a flute.<br /><br />I love simplicity too, but it seems that I love perfume more.<br /><br />With your hard water, of course you need to be practical, and there certainly are many nice shower creams and gels around.<br /><br />Thank you for commenting, and I love your blogger name :)Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-20134963812116155102016-12-13T17:19:45.763+13:002016-12-13T17:19:45.763+13:00My dad always told us not to wish our life away an...My dad always told us not to wish our life away and it has stuck!

I read your posts about alcohol a bit ago, and they gave me the resources I needed to stop drinking too. I've read Alan Carr, and then Jason Vale and Annie Grace. I too wasn't a heavy drinker, but not happy about my moderate drinking for health reasons. I've always been a Francophile too, and you were so key in demonstrating that a chic woman doesn't have to hold a glass of wine! Thank you so much. I'll really be forever grateful that you shared this. Oh and I did enjoy sniffing my husband's glass of wine the other night too, with no desire to drink!<br /><br />As for fragrance, I'm a "signature scent" kind of gal, and this appeals to the pleasure I get from simplicity. I love a lily of the valley fragrance.<br /><br />I also love the idea of old fashioned soaps, but we have really hard water and man do I hate soap scum! So I therefore tend to stick with modern detergent cleansers. Not so romantic, but they rinse cleanly and can have gentle ph balances if you choose wisely.<br /><br />Thank you again!<br />RochelleCheshire Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723593788195349465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-2357686974272665072016-12-10T12:50:48.077+13:002016-12-10T12:50:48.077+13:00Hi D, thank you so much for sharing.

And soon, your daughter will be back with the most amazing Japanese and Korean things to enjoy. I go crazy in Japan's drugstores... Do you? Ah yes! I have tried Japanese Cow soap brand too....

I am in our local Little Tokyo in Los Angeles almost every other week to shop in the Marukai market there where it is a cornucopia of Japanese everything! Being of part Japanese descent, the scents of certain shampoos, and so on are nostalgic for me. My daughter will be traveling to Japan and Korea soon and I've already got a list (a small one) of things I want her to pick up for me there!<br /><br />D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-66215584250041767982016-12-09T16:32:37.707+13:002016-12-09T16:32:37.707+13:00I love oatmeal soap too Jen :)I love oatmeal soap too Jen :)Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-89445571501692369762016-12-09T16:32:09.519+13:002016-12-09T16:32:09.519+13:00Especially since soap is a consumable which you ca...Especially since soap is a consumable which you can *legitimately* buy even if you are minimising:)Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-8791564741357474542016-12-09T16:27:55.618+13:002016-12-09T16:27:55.618+13:00I smell books too, and magazines :)I smell books too, and magazines :)Fiona Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493105915055099408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-373451413818928562016-12-09T16:25:00.296+13:002016-12-09T16:25:00.296+13:00That sounds intriguing, Vannessa, I will look out ...That sounds intriguing, Vannessa, I will look out for it!

That may not sound so luxurious, but the oatmeal itself is soothing and it's a pretty, creamy round soap with a nice texture. Plus, all natural and good for us sensitive-skinned ones... The rose incense idea sounds lovely, I've got to try that-- but I am a candle girl. Thank you for reminding me, have been lighting them up again every day. I prefer soy candles with natural scents... Also essential oils such as lavender, and rose water is divine! Would be nice if they were a bit stronger, but they're enjoyable to reapply and know they are good for my skin and soul.
