This actually hit home for me. I have never been a big cologne guy but every few weeks I smell someone else’s and it makes me think: do I need to wear more cologne?

"I don’t wanna brag, but while you people of the white-collar workforce went through a whole year of wearing sweats, I haven’t worn real pants in 12 years."
Oh, lordy, maybe you're right. This really is my season of life right now. Maybe I just need to be more accepting and settle into these leggings for a while, with a mug of tea (that might get spilled everywhere, sneezed on, or have small fingers stuck into it). Someday I'll be human again, but maybe not yet, and that's okay. I wish you godspeed on your re-entry into the real world!! Take notes, girl -- I'mma need 'em later. ; )
Have you tried one of those perfume subscription thingies? Scentbird, Scentbox and the like? I really enjoyed Scentbird until they revamped the vials and cases and made them really hard to use. It’s slow stakes way to try something for a month and see if you really like it or if you’re really sick of it.
I cannot comment on scents, but I do love makeup. I'm going to tell you that my favourite mascara is a cheap drugstore one - Maybelline's Falsies Lash Lift. It is the best mascara I have ever used. I also am in love with L'oreal pressed powder and IT CC cream, the glow version. Love. Also also also, someone recently turned me on to Cover Girl's Outlast lipstick and damn, that is a long lasting lip colour.
You can even guess pretty well whether or not you'll like them based on their descriptions, and you can sometimes get samplers or smaller items that allow you to sample them more cheaply than a full bottle (though full size isn't outrageous either). They are also carried in some boutiques where you can sniff them all directly--I discovered them in Denver.
I wear a lot of Versace Bright Crystal because it’s light and versatile and smells really good. It’s not my favorite perfume in the whole world but it’s the one I can wear and it feels appropriate for pretty much everything. Not too heavy, musky, sweet or sexy. Just bright, floral and feminine but not in a way that feels juvenile.
I am quite adrift with this entry, but is quite funny! And since I work at a nursing home (admin position), I've been tempted to think about a nursing degree for advancement, but then think about all the A&P I'd have to take, and don't do it! But more power to you! Hope all goes well!

Well, come on — you can’t leave us hanging on why poop is brown!

Erin, I thought jeans were real pants? As for suggestions, maybe this is predictable but I would always read more things about books from you.

In my humble opinion, the majority of Tokyo Milk fragrances by Margot Elena are heavenly (especially the "dark" line):

Fun article! And not just because of the gorgeous guy in the photo either!
