Hello Dear Readers,
The bad news: My daughter is now 5 and 1/2 months old and I am slowly, very slowly, adjusting to my new life with a baby. She takes top priority. And my old self has expired. I am no longer able to be the woman I was pre-Mommyhood! My outlook on life and priorities in life have changed drastically. With that said, I sincerely apologize for not being able to post as often as I, and mabye you, would like. My goal is to post once per week but I have not been able to keep up with even that in the last few months.
The good news: My love of fragrance and perfume remains intact! I hope that I can deliver on my once/week promise in the coming weeks. As always, thank you for your patience and loyalty. God bless you and yours.
Love,
Tamara

About Me
- ForTheLoveOfPerfume
- Thanks for visiting! Since I was a young girl I have happily indulged my sense of smell. Peering through old drawings and gifts for my mother, perfume always held front and center. And that holds true today. Lately, this innate love for stellar scent has been groomed by my fellowship of fragrance lovers and I am so grateful to find a clan in which I truly feel at home. While I do believe some can find a signature scent, I have never found one fragrance to satisfy my insatiable sense of smell. I spontanteously and continually long to experience every fragrance I can get my hands on. Therefore, this blog began as a means to indulge myself and others. Today, I hope to share my thoughts, feelings and ideas about some of my favorite, and not so favorite, scents. I invite you to read and enjoy perfume as I do - a hobby, a diversion, a pleasurable treat.

Just so you know, you are more of a woman now, post baby, than you ever were!! Priorities change, as they should! Enjoy your life!!

Hi, T, how nice to see you! My summer goal is to spend less time online, so sorry I missed you yesterday.
I know exactly how you feel in that your old self has been replaced. Such are the phases of life! Take your time & blog when you feel like it; subscribers will know when a new post is up.
My newest fragrance love is Parfums de Nicolai Le Temps d'Une Fete, a lovely green floral w/a woodsy base. My dear husband bought me a bottle as part of our 25th wedding anniversary a few weeks ago.
Enjoy your summer and your family. :)
Kayliana,
Thank you so much for the sweet reminder. :-)
Hi Anita! Nice to see you as well! Congratulations on your 25th wedding anniversary!! What a milestone!! The PdN scent sounds gorgeous. Have a wonderful summer as well. :-)
T, don't even worry about it. I do miss reading your posts, but your new role as a mom is the priority. Take your time, and don't feel that you have to post on a regular basis.
Priorities change as life changes, and all of us understand that. In fact, many of us have happily been in your life situation, so we get it! :) I found that taking care of my kids when they were little was the most time consuming, physically demanding job I had ever endured...but I loved enduring every minute of it!
Hugs!
As it SHOULD be, darling one.
Only Philistines fail to comprehend ;)
My loveliest darling friend Tamara, all I know is that you should never feel guilty for enjoying every moment with your daughter. It will come naturally again when you are ready to express your love for perfume through writing, I know it. I always miss you but we will all be here when you are back :) I am feeling kind of conscious leaving such a comment on a public domain but I really wanted to send you my love.
I think everybody understands a shift in priorities. Congrats on the good reviews and just make them when you can. :)
As it SHOULD be, darling one.
Only Philistines fail to comprehend.

Congratulations on your new child! I Cant wait to read more of your articles about perfume! Scents happens to be my favorite hobby!
