I've read that European women combine perfumes to create unique scents. I love fragrances! Many a Christmas and Birthday I'd receive them from friends & co-workers. However some just weren't me, so I took a cue from the European ladies.
Most of my gift fragrances were in spray form. This required an empty bottle with a wide opening that I would spray into; a little of this one, some of that, and then a bit of another over there. I kept mixing until I got a fragrance I liked.
The only downside was that I couldn't recreate the scent exactly. Often, other women would ask, "What is that delightful fragrance you're wearing?"
I would shrug and say, "Oh just something I threw together," explaining that I like to mix scents. Afterward I'd be on the receiving end of some really strange looks.
Mixing other items works well too! I prefer black tea from India but green & herb teas are supposed to be healthier, also I love flavored teas. So I mix. Then I get the fruity taste of the flavored, green, or herb along with the full-bodied flavor of the black.
However I HATE Chai Tea and pass it up every chance I get!
Since the pandemic I've began mixing oat milk with cow's milk. At the start of the lockdown I was only able to find one or the other at the supermarket. I've been drinking 2 per cent milk for so many decades now that fatty milk makes me gag. So I bought oat instead.
Once home, I tried mixing it with the left over cow's milk and discovered I love the taste!
Fusion food has always been a favorite of mine! If you've never tasted a Mexican pizza you are missing out!
Now with the runaway inflation I'm doing more mixing and experimenting than ever to make everything stretch. It's fun and interesting with surprising results!
