Blue meanies/(Panaeolus cyanescens) or Copelandia cyanescens

Panaeolus Copelandia Cyanescens Blue Meanie Shooms Trip Report. After thirty minutes, you feel a dull throb of music in your head. It feels like the top of your skull is opening, letting in the noise from around you as it lets out its own, dull song. The music grows, steadily climbing to a crescendo. You feel around for the top of your head, but it seems to be gone. Standing up, you notice there are thistle bushes growing in the corners of your house. Through power-points and cracks in the walls, their twigs are winding themselves through the air. You touch one, and see the spiky stems recoil.

Lush Sultana of Soap

"Revel in Sultana’s majesty and wash with the royalty of soaps. It looks like a fancy Italian dessert, a giant nougat cake topped with succulent currants, cranberries and apricots, but this decadent soap was made to create a creamy lather with a light and fruity bergamot-olibanum scent. Your skin will be delighted and you’ll be left softer and smelling like a fancy candy shop with a touch of fruity sweetness."

Tom Ford Black Orchid

"Black Orchid was created by perfumers of the fragrance company Givaudan in 2006. It was announced as an oriental chypre. The top notes are French jasmine, black truffle, ylang-ylang, black currant, and effervescent citrus. In the floral-spicy heart, dwells Tom Ford's black orchid, more imaginary than real, and the base combines woodsy notes (patchouli and sandalwood), dark chocolate, incense, amber, vetiver, vanilla, and balsam.

Black Orchid is opulent and classically dark; its fragrance is in line with the best creations of the best perfume houses. A luxurious and sensual fragrance with a rich, dark trace of black orchid and spices, it is modern and timeless. It remains to be said that Black Orchid is long lasting and with a widespread aura."

Feel like I just went shopping :D.

[Megan Alecia]

A human being-

- Assessed by its capacity to function in the world (in society to be specific; this is arguably the foremost role of psychology)

- Noticed by how it presents itself to the world, whether in the form of a job, talent, status, past and/or present achievements (in other words, one's power to deal with the world)

- Fear as perhaps the most primitive human emotion/in general, dating back hundreds of billions of years (indication that change and chaos are two of life's inherent laws)

- Human interaction is so valuable (Ralph Smart); use it cleverly
