new vintage items in my etsy shop

 click on the image to go to the listing - ok sorry i took them all down again because etsy cant manage to figure out how to pay me. they keep telling me its my fault but i gave them even a god damn detailed bank statement which puts my financial privacy at their mercy and they continue to insult me so i give up and the only stuff left in my shop is stuff im ok to have to give away if someone wants it. although i realize this is stupid. i have a new shop now its nicoletirona.bigcartel.com

SWAPS! essential oil swaps aroma chemicals molecule one essences and fragrance materials

anyway here are the items retrieved from my diligent editing and looking up not that much at all in reality... the cape may and the coffee oil i have is up for swap too and i will finalize the tiny perfumes i can swap. there are a couple nice colognes will try and remake!

nicotiro swaps e.o.’s for a.c.’s - Dilutions are also ok (if you want me to dilute)

Would like to trade any of these EO’s or Absolutes

these are new from botanic universe. the absolutes are not concretes so they have been extracted from the concrete with ethyl alcohol and are mobile and do not need a bain marie. i have not verified these oils and consider them cosmetic grade cos what do i know. there are gcms documents on some essential oils on their site (ex rosemary spain) i put an asterisk on my favorite ones that i used right away and a % on those that need to be learned/heavily diluted.

i have a swap page for perfumers or people interested in essential oils...
http://www.basenotes.net/threads/476459-nicotiro-swaps-e-o-s-for-a-c-s

was thinking about also having the samples up in case anyone wanted to try some but do not have anything to trade, then they could just send me some money for it.

.:
ok weird just now im getting loads of flak on the basenotes forum
its some kind of shilling or some kind of public shaming of women online
thats what it feels like to me. anyway. so theres that.... as usual. so im kind of bummed i wont log in anymore or read the forum because it literally takes me away from what im buzzing around there looking for, a phrase, some kind of connection with a smell that i can make with what i have or learn something new from what i have and this knowledge isnt fully hald up front like its very loosely accessed and the trolls they take it away with their inane demands on polictical correctness and even now i feel like another unpaid shill for some kind of fight between the british and french schools of aromatherapy oh for fucks sake and then it goes on and on and cries out loud. if it wasnt for the internet where would be. outside no doubt, in civilized society!

pardon the messy desk that wines been around for weeks it seems.


and rose and violet leaf. its a floral.
https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/640579048/rose-violet-leaf-artisan-soap

need to work on the product photo but id rather work on making the fragrance, making the soap, or making the label.

the etsy listings ill update when i get the packaging at its best. i have a feeling no one can afford the shipping. might have to make tiny soaps for online.

oh. making the paypal buttons is really tedious.
so forget about making paypal buttons for things on etsy or dawanda (getting my stuff up on dawanda again!)
and will list the already made items on the blog. there are many classic its your life designs that have been stashed away this whole time. they need new homes. and i need lunch.

made herbs de provence sprouted mung beans with dried tomato and caramalized onion last night. i eat it with this fig balsamic glaze and virgin olive oil. yum. on top of rice with rosemary powder, a hint of garlic (granules) and sea salt.(recipe below)
i was trying to go back on an alkaline diet cleanse but its been difficult to remain disciplined without all the necessary ingredients stock piled. im still eating white rice and drinking coffee.

yup, getting back into the costume jewelry is a little daunting and lots of trial and error, what to plug my time into.... its all much better than spazzing and going through bouts of unproductive anxiety all day though for sure.
but i also wanted to post up my now closed aromatherapy studio pictures and also use this blog to post my aromatherapy research. i am on twitter @aromatherapyTO been working on skin care concepts and essential oil blends to revive my sense of smell and body awareness. so im not so disassociating all the time. im an old lady now and i cant be spacing out all the time, need to save that time for when im much older ;D
so on we go...


mung bean dish
1.5 c mung beans, sprouted
.5 onion
1.5 tsp herbs de provence
2 tbsp dried tomato
1 tbsp kale powder
pepper
what i did was sprout the beans, then caramalize the onion in olive oil, added half the tomato (soaked and saved water) , added the mung beans, sauteed for a bit, added half the herbs, added the kale powder, sauteed, added tomato water, satueed, added water, sauteed, added the rest of the herbs, added the rest of the tomato (unsoaked) added pepper, sauteed, then it was done, maybe about 15 mins of sautee-ing. not liquidy. brown bits. drizzled with virgin olive oil and the fig balsamic glaze.
the rice i had was leftover, so i used a small dot of olive oil to reheat the rice, added some rosemary powder, some garlic grains, some sea salt. but freshly cooked plain rice was better.
i also made a cabbage salad: finely chopped green cabbage (i like the red one better though) and a vinegar dressing made of apple cider vinegar, honey, pepper, and water, soaked the finely chopped cabbage in this for about 15 mis and served alongside the mung and rice. 

mini key chain purse

i made this
the other one fell off. the fake leather finish was the first to go then eventually the plastic coating or whatever wore down at the edges, then the top stitching started coming apart and then it just fell off. took a good few years though yay. so i made this, its even better. i have one more key chain snap closure i will make a nice for the etsy shop.
ive been not wanting to go outside from lack of proper gear. its been up to -13 and i dont really have good warm shoes or a hooded coat. im trying to figure out how to remake the longish white faux fur button up coat i got for 25 bucks one year into a shorter zipper opening hooded coat but i havent done anything cept cut the bottom off to the right length.
meanwhile isnt this pouch nice its such a better proprtion from the last one.
i used the last scrap of the japanse tsumugi woven fabric i got off kumi to make the pocket.
