Long time, no post! Allow me to explain – online college is ca-RAZY! I only took 3 classes last semester and that was manageable, but a full 5 classes?! No no no! I'm simply drowning in work! I think any normal person would be able to handle this just fine, but between procrastination, executive dysfunction, and pure laziness... it's simply too much! I've also scored a side-gig transcribing for an insurance adjuster. It's not raking in the big bucks by any means, but it's a source of income while I attend school full-time. So now you know where all of my time is going!

But let me tell you, this is TOO LIGHT. It's a really beautiful fragrance in the jar – a gorgeous, almost sexy scent with the best set of notes I think I've ever heard:
Top: Sugared Mandarin, Bergamot, Orange
Mid: Vanilla Petals, Jasmine Satin, Violet Leaf
Base: Golden Amber, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vanilla
Unfortunately it has absolutely zero, and I do mean zero throw. I usually burn candles on my dresser or on top of my bookshelf across the room, but since I'd heard this one was light, I decided to burn it at my desk while I worked. I've had it going for about 3 hours now and I am getting the tiniest itty-bitty wee hint of a fragrance. I actually had to take the Illumalid off get anything from it – THAT'S how light this scent is. It's an absolute crime for Yankee to make such an amazing, beautiful, complex scent and then totally drop the ball on the throw. Maybe my candle's just a dud. There's a difference between a light throw and NO throw. Or maybe Yankee done f 'ed up on this one! I guess I'll never know...
Oh. And it was announced that Daft Punk broke up today. One of my all-time favorite bands is done after nearly 30 years. :( Today is just not my day!
