Happy almost birthday! I *love* the birthday deck your friends made for you, what a dream!

I recently smelled the DS Durga Pasta Water Candle and was surprised how much it did, in fact, smell like pasta water. It was then that I realized that I think I just like the smell of warm carbs and starches? Anyways, I have a Steamed White Rice candle from Baisun that I love. It has similar smell notes, has a wood wick (the best kind), and it's $20. Maybe a tiny birthday treat?

Thank you so much for the kind words, Eden! And also for confirming that the DS Durga candle is as advertised, hahaha

Definitely adding that steamed rice candle to another I list I have titled, "Buy when you are sad".

Thank you so much! I have this habit where I compulsively like to brag about how wonderful my friends are. Apparently there's no medical cure for it!

Thank you so much Daneth! I really do hope you'll revisit The Gentlemen. I can see the 1st episode being predictable and a bit formulaic, but it goes off the rails with each episode. I like my own life to be as tidy as possible, which is why I think I really enjoyed the messiness of this show (and most reality tv shows haha).
