Visiting world sites remotely

The January 2013 of  'Good Times' magazine says we can now google our way around the world.  Just google World Wonders Project to see things like the treasures of Versailles from our computers. This project developed from Google Street View.

In other news, I got a free sample of Donna Karan's 'Cashmere Mist' eau de toilette, you know the scented papers stuck inside magazines, and I quite like this fragrance!  What's your favourite fragrance?  My regular fragrance is Nina Ricci's L'air Du Temps.

My fave is Chanel N°5, I just can't afford it anymore - that's life! Valerie

I don't wear any perfume at all, because it always gives me a headache. I guess I have a very sensitive nose.

I have severe sensitivities, if I stand beside someone with perfume on I break out in a rash, my asthma kicks in and then over the next few days all the skin peels from my mouth.I hate perfume and do not buy magazines with the samples, at all!When people are in the mall and many have on scent its literally a torture chamber, if I can smell you coming or after you have left its way to much.I wish it could be different but its not, my daughter is the same way.

oh gosh sorry to hear that Laurie. L'air du Temps isn't overwhelming, I don't like strong fragrances.

It is amazing how we can go to places around all around the world without leaving our homes!

I'll take a look at this project. My favourite perfume stopped being made years ago, but I did hear it was revamped ... It was. "Evening in Paris". I think someone said it was made by Boujeau, or something similar. Anyways I absolutely loved it.

L'air du Temps! I love that one :) I have a few that I switch between but my very favorite is called Flower Bomb - mmmmm.
Thanks for the information too - I will have to check out that site. AND I hope you have a wonderful holiday with the ones you love, xoxo

Oh gosh, Christine, I used to wear Nina Ricci's L'air Du Temps all the time in my 20s and 30s! I didn't even know if it was still being produced! I'd love to smell it again...I'll have to look into that. I don't even remember why I stopped wearing it. I recently found another good one by philosophy called Living Grace. Merry Christmas to you, Christine, and my very best wishes for the new year!
Hugs, Cindy

I love L'air. I can't wear any any more. It's not good in hospitals and with my hospice clients. Funny how things change.
Cheers from Cottage Country!

Art really doesn't care to have me wear any scents. I do like roses and white ginger when they really smell like those blossoms.
