A scent that takes you back there.....

Or something similiar......

This may sound weird but I had some 'good times' in hospitial (probably because I was manic and it was awesome at the time.

Anyway when I want to remember that time I spray the perfume 'Contradiction' by Calvin Klien on my neck and it takes me back to that time straight way. For the next five minutes I remember that having BP is not all bad and much has come from having this challenging illness.

Would anyone like to share.....??

Heaven's Scent perfume takes me back to childhood. My Aunt used to wear that perfume and put it on all her letters to me. It was so nice. Sadly she died at the old age of 91 just several years ago.

the smell of lavender always remind me of my mum (passed away nearly 4yrs ago) she always used it when as kids we were ill, she always said it was special stuff to make us feel better and sleep.
Take care

patty... long as we're talking about bad memories, i have to say that the smell of whiskey on someone really brings back a slew of bad memories for me.

it's the worst smell in the world to me.

patty... that's not crazy. i've heard that smell is the sense that is most connected to the memory.

OMG...'Glow' by J.Lo - body shimmer-reminds me of some of the best manic moments of my life. Still gives me a litle fuzzy feeling every time I put it on.

Your going to laugh at me... but.. Kitty litter... Every time I go away for a long time, even to my parents place who own cats, and I have to travel all day and night, to get there, on the day I arrive home, I know I am home because I smell kitty litter.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
