Bit Of Tid

A frugal snack to tide you over.

Tonight, I promise to post my Weekly Spending Recap for the Thanksgiving Week, plus show you which Eye Candy I’m thankful for… today.  But in the mean time, here are a few treats to get you through the afternoon slump.

 

First up is one of the coolest sites on the web – Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab.com.  They make and sell fabulous scented oils and other yummy-smelling potions.  Best of all, you can get samples of many BPAL scents, called Imp’s Ears.  According to their site: ‘For standard price general catalogue scents, the imp’s ears are $3.50 each, or six for $19.50. Please remember to list the scents you would like to sample when ordering!’  Plus, they throw in a few Imps for you to try out – for FREE.  Which is BEST.

My favorite thing about BPAL is the description of each scent.  The site reads like a gothic/comic book/cool kids’ handbook.  I like to curl up with my laptop before bed and peruse the different scent descriptions – they’re like poems or stories, all the while describing each smell.  I find that to be DEEPLY cool.

 

Also cool is this video, sent to me by The Security Officer for The Cheap Chick Empire, called ROFLMAO.  Enjoy.  And don’t blame me if it gets stuck in your head for the rest of the day…

    BPAL is the best! (I’m wearing Blood Countess right now, though my all-time favorite is Hollywood Babylon – it’s all kinds of fruity musky goodness).
