im such a hater about perfumes. i know i never post about it but i am now. im posting nyeow. and i would just like to say that i dont trust ANY perfume that gets sold in Sephora or a department store. i cant think of anything ive smelled that has ever given me a reason to waver on this.

perfume is the most expensive cosmetic for a reason: it is wildly expensive and complicated to make

mixing a good perfume can involve hundreds to thousands of different scents in concert. <- expensive

perfume is absolutely something where you get what you pay for. there is no workaround. if an indie brand is cheaper itll be because their scents are Significantly more simplistic. if its More expensive its because they dont have a corporations ability to buy bulk

almost all of the perfumes sold in a department store are owned by that department store. cosmetics are as dominated by megacorps as any other industry perfume is not an exception

le labo, tom ford, aerin, aramis, fredric malle, jo malone and mac are all owned by estee lauder.

lancome, armani, ysl, ralph lauren, mugler, viktor&rolf, valentino, atelier cologne, margiela and prada are all owned by loreal.

diptyque, malin+goetz, spacenk, susanne kaufmann, byredo, eve lom and kevyn aucoin are owned by manzanita capital a private equity investment company owned by william fisher the son of the founders of the gap.

all of these cosmetics are being made in the same labs with the same ingredients and should cost the same (which is to say not a lot) but they dont. the upcharge is between three and five hundred percent. you are paying for the branding not the quality of the product.

the quality of the product is not very good either! because these are megacorps! use your heads!

Daisy Hudson - Cheerful - Clumsy Collector

Daisy's passion for all things green and growing is evident in everything she does. Whether she's tending to the community garden or whipping up a delicious meal with fresh ingredients, her love for nature shines through.

Daisy's dreams of owning a flower shop in the future or possibly a farm where she can grow her own produce. With her positive attitude and personality, there's no doubt that Daisy will continue to bloom wherever life plants her.

Daisy lives at No 1 Manzanita Terrace and has gotten to know her neighbours quite well. Interestingly, she hasn't seemed to click with Gia Angelo at No 2, feeling as though Gia looks down on her. On a brighter note, Daisy has formed a strong bond with Grant and Isla at No 3. She has been sharing gardening tips and the wonders of the great outdoors with Grant’s daughter Isla. Spending more time with Grant, they have started to grow closer, engaging in deep conversations. However, they often find themselves interrupted by the captivating Gia, who consistently manages to undermine Daisy in front of Grant and insert herself between them.

How will you continue the Story ...?

"My kids many years ago and a Snow Plant (Sarcodes sanguinea Torr.). I have loved finding these in the forest since I was a little kid. "Snow Plant (Sarcodes sanguinea Torr.)

By Forest Jay Gauna

The common name of this plant is considerably less grotesque than its scientific name, given it by John Torrey, a famous New York botanist of the 19th Century. It translates roughly to "the bloody flesh-like thing," an allusion to the bright red color of the plant – the entire plant, not just the flowers. It belongs to the Monotropaceae, or Indian-pipe family, a family closely related to the Ericaceae, or heath family: snow plant is the unlikely relation of such shrubs as manzanita, madroño, laurel, and azalea.

Snow plant has no chlorophyll; it derives nutrition from fungi underneath the soil, and for this reason the plant is called "mycotrophic". These fungi are the mycorrhizae ("fungus-roots") of conifers, an interesting topic by itself. Many conifers (among other plants) require these fungi to live normally. Mycorrhizae are composed of strands of cells (mycelia) that grow about in the soil; these strands are quite numerous and extensive, and the conifer uses them to bring water and minerals to itself. In return, the conifer provides the fungus with some of the products of its photosynthesis. Snow plant takes advantage of this felicitous arrangement by parasitizing the mycorrhizae of the photosynthate provided it by the conifer, which makes sense, given that it is a plant without chlorophyll, and therefore a plant that cannot photosynthesize. In this indirect way, Sarcodes is a parasite of conifers; this is why they are always seen beneath (or very close to) them.

Snow plant is difficult to confuse with other plants, and indeed stands a better chance of being confused with a misplaced piece of meat. It will be found growing out of pine needles and other forest litter on the surface of the ground, near a conifer. The aboveground portion begins to grow in late spring, as the snow melts, and presents a dramatic contrast with the snow (if the surrounding snow has not already melted, as is typical). The aboveground portion is merely the stalk of the inflorescence, the ‘vegetative’ part of the plant being little more than a thick parasitic root. It achieves about a foot or so in height. The flowers appear closely packed together, yet evenly spaced. It is through them that snow plant’s relationship with ericaceous plants can be discovered: the flower (red, of course) has five petals, mostly fused along their edges into the shape of an elongated bell."
