Smell and Memory

I have always been fascinated by smell memories, and since we all know that the internet gives the best information I took the liberty of finding a HowStuffWorks article on smell memories if you are interested. 

ANYWAY. Here is a list of some specific smells that remind me of certain times in my life. 

GAP Grass reminds me so much of my sweet sister Sarah. SO MUCH. 

I have distinct memories of being afraid of staying home alone in like 5th grade smelling GAP om on my mom while she was leaving. (apparently my family is really into perfume from Gap..? ALSO fun fact this perfume is being sold on ebay for $150 plus right now because it is discontinued.)

haha ok Beyonce Heat is the perfume that my roommate Berkeley wears and it will forever and ever and ever remind me of her and my first semester of college. 

This is the lotion that I use daily and it too will forever remind me of my first semester of college. 

The other day I was in Sephora smelling perfumes (HAHA I say that like I do it often) and I smelled Juicy and instantly thought of my friend Ali Cottle. Major flashbacks to my Junior and Senior year of high school!

And this. I saved the best for last. I absolutely LOVE this lotion. This might sound stupid but I'm pretty sure that if those of you who are with me on a regular basis smelled this lotion you would think of me. I don't care if that sounds dumb, because it is probably true. HOWEVER. Every time I use this lotion I think of the A.C.T. because I used it the morning I took the test.... BOTH TIMES I TOOK IT. Major smell memories going on right there. I am on my 3rd bottle of this lotion right now, and if they discontinue this lotion I might die. 

SONG OF THE DAY:
Have you seen this? You might already know but this song. Oh, this song. This song is one of my all time favorites. My dad was so excited to show me this video, rightly so, because he know I would love it. If you watch till the end you might even see Beatle Paul!!



I hope your Christmas and New Years was wonderful!
