I wish that tears were really good for the skin. Because they’ve been streaming down my face for weeks, and if I applied
La Bella Figura’s amazing Moroccan Face Gold as religiously,
I’d look 25 right now.
I won’t be posting for a while, for obvious reasons. But I do
hope that I will move forward and eventually write more when
I return. About both beauty and illness. About both eyeliner
and addiction.
But I did feel compelled to put up something semi-coherent before I left. Something a little less heavy than my last offering. So my subject is a perfume.
Sadly, I can’t take this sweet Jingle G scent with me (god forbid I try to drink it), but I love it, I love the smell, I love that it can also be an ornament, and beyond all, I love the character.
Because while she’s all decked out as a Gwen Stefani-inspired mini Claus, she also looks a little sad, doesn’t she?

The scent is extremely merry, though. I swear.
As I’m sure many of you know and have experienced in your own lives, the holidays aren’t always happy. They can bring such joy, but at the same time an equal, unrelenting pain when all is not right.
Which why I love Jingle G. Even if it’s not what Harajuku Lovers intended, her mysterious, semi-maudlin expression gives me great comfort. It feels real in a way that so many packaged products do not.
I for one have NOT been good this year, so I know I don't deserve anything in my stocking. (Except, perhaps, the
the merciful gift of acceptance, God willing).
But since sweet Jingle G is limited edition, it may not be around in a month! So I did buy two when I learned I
was going away.
Because my hope is that, next year at this time, I’ll be able to sport this spicy scent with a smile. Or at the very least, with sobriety.
Paired with a killer smoky eye, of course.
