Avon bottles

Random thing about me. I collect vintage Avon perfume bottles. I really need to find all of them and take a photo of all of the bottles I collected over the years. Until then, I am just posting some of the ones that I love.

Too many fonts

I have the habit of downloading fonts in large collections and never using them. I finally decided that I really need to sort through them all and delete any that I don't think I'll ever use. This task is going to take awhile since I have 12,084 fonts on my computer. These aren't installed, just stuff I downloaded. I'll be surprised if I end up with 100 of them that I actually like. I deleted a bunch of .pfm, .afm, .pfb, and type 1 fonts. Deleting them has cut my font folder down to 7,682. Still a lot more to sort through. Anyone looking for a free tool that allows you to view fonts without installing them should go download AMP Font Viewer.

Favorite online stores

I'm feeling a little bored right now so I thought I'd share a few of my favorite online stores.

First up is Paintbox Soapworks. I haven't tried all of the products available but I love the ones I have. My favorite are The Queen is Dead and Smiling Jack soaps. Neither scent is currently available since I think they are seasonal scents. This shop is worth checking out if you love scented soaps.

Peace Blossom Candles is another favorite. I was given this candle as a gift. I like the scent and love the design. If you like beeswax candles, check this out.

My favorite hand lotion is from Happy Hands. I have a few favorites from this shop. I got samples of the Cupcake ,Lavender & Sage,Citrus & Cilantro,Cinnamon Cider,Tall Cotton,Sweetie Pie,Cucumber Melon, and Hippie Chick scents. My favorites of those are Cupcake, Cinnamon Cider, Sweetie Pie, and Hippie Chick. Everyone needs to try some of this stuff.


More of my favorites later. I am too tired right now.

Movies

I have been watching a lot of movies lately. More than I usually do. In the last month or so, I have watched Black Swan, Burlesque, 127 Hours, Cabin by The Lake, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Tangled, Legally Blonde, Legally Blonde 2, and Return to Cabin by The Lake. I think there might be a few more that I have watched as well. I honestly don't remember. I have a big list of movies I want to see too. I really want to see Ginger Snaps, Sleepy Hollow, Jennifer's Body, and the Children of the Corn movies. I'm not much of a romantic comedy kind of girl. Give me a dark comedy, an action movie, or something bloody.

My current favorite movies are The Crow, Jawbreaker, How To Be A Serial Killer, and The Blues Brothers. None of this are exactly typical girly movies. I think the only movie I own that can be classified as a romantic comedy is 500 Days of Summer. Most of my friends rush out to see the latest Jennifer Aniston movie on opening day. I roll my eyes and laugh. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just not into that kind of predictable movie. I'm not a fan of Twilight either. I hate hearing women sighing over Edward and proclaiming him a perfect gentleman. Yeah, whatever. I'll stick to True Blood.

I would like to make a toast to lying, stealing, cheating and drinking. If you're going to lie, lie for a friend. If you're going to steal, steal a heart. If your going to cheat, cheat death. And if you're going to drink, drink with me.

Obsession

This stuff is pretty much my obsession. I love perfume oils. The majority of these are from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. One is from Arcana, two from Violette Market, two from Possets, one from Good Judy, and one from Heaven and Earth Essentials.
