Meet Buna my Aussie (+something) pup!

This is Buna! A friend of mine is in social services. A couple weeks ago she had to go into a home and take protective custody of some kids . Also in the home were dozens of neglected dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies. The animals were all taken to the pound and my friend asked me if I wanted to go up and rescue one of them. Of course I did!! Buna’s mom was there at the pound and I was told she is 100% Australian Shepherd. They had found a home for her. Most of the Puppies and kittens had found homes too. But this big girl right here was still available. So I brought her home with me! I have a 21 year old chihuahua/min pin mix and a 6 year old cat. They didn’t know what to make of this big bouncy puppy but now we are one big family! My kiddos LOVE her! She plays outside all day with them! I’ve never owned a big dog. I’ve had my little chihuahua for so long I forgot what a puppy was like and sure didn’t know what a big dog puppy was like! I ordered an Embark DNA test so I can learn what she is, so I can better care for her. It does seem like the Australian shepherd half is prominent from what I’ve read about the breed. She acts just like one with her herding instincts and hyper activity! Do you all have any tips for how best to care for her Australian shepherd side? I want her to have the most happy life!

Loving Briix!!

I am a lover of beast mode perfumes. I grew up on Amarige by Givenchy and grew into Chanel Coco Noir/Coco Mad/Coromandel/Chance, MFK BR540 and Grand Soir, an assortment of Amouage and Xerjoff fragrances (too many to name lol), Mancera, Guerlain and Byredo Absolu frags as will as lots of Diptyque perfumes that I layer. The thing the majority of them have in common is they are beast mode perfumes. Cause by God if I’m spending this kind of money you’re gonna smell my ass when I walk in!! I buy the corresponding lotion if it’s available cause, hey, go big or go home!
I also love love love niche houses. And I found this neat little house founded by a chemist who decided to use her skills to make perfumes! It’s called Briix. I only have one scent, I just got it, it’s called Enchanted Dreams. And I am LOVING IT! I’m in no way a gourmand girl, but I appreciate a deep amber enveloping scent. And while Enchanted Dreams is marketed as a very sweet dessert gourmand that’s not what I’m picking up! It opens with this toasted stick in a campfire smell; which sounds off putting until she continues to unfurl. Right after that stick you smell the dark toasted vanilla marshmallow stuck on said stick. It’s like a marshmallow with a dry vanilla bean pod inside and it’s delicious. Absolutely divine. Nothing cloying. Nothing overly sweet. It’s that smell of a vanilla infused marshmallow right as it comes out of the fire, the sugar brown and caramelized and crackling on it. It’s like nothing I’ve ever smelled. It’s everything wonderful about marshmallows on a campfire and I am in love with my first gourmand! And it sure is a beast mode perfume! It is crazy good!!! Does anyone else have experience with this house? What else do they offer that you would recommend?

On the left is my mom in March 2025, one month before her cancer diagnosis. The second photo is her 4 days before she died on February 2, 2026. How can any disease be this cruel. I’m so sorry mommy. I love you so much. There is no air in any room cause you’re not here. I’m like a fish on the shore, gasping, but never breathing. God I miss you. I love you mommy. We tried so hard. You were so brave. I want people to see how strong you were. That this disease robbed you. It’s a thief. It robbed you; it took you away and robbed us. I try to go on mom, i really do. But each day is a battle in my head just to survive it. I wish I could say something to you. Smell you. Hear your laugh. What an empty world without you mommy.
