Top Five / Bottom Five : Smells

 I've been searching for new blogs since I've been back & have found some pretty nice ones... but I found The Optimistic Views of a Pessimist & that name alone... but she does a fun little post & this month was the the best & words smells. Each month is a different Top 5... but this one - what a funny topic. At first, I'm like - EW - but then instantly had ideas... so let's do this!

TOP 5

1. Leaves Burning.... my all time favorite smell. You'll smell it more during the fall & truly, this scent has to be in Heaven for me.

2. Men's Cologne.... yes, I love women's perfume but a man walking by with a good smelling cologne on. Yes sir! Thanks for making the world a better smelling place.

3. Soap ... just that fresh smell after a shower.  Getting ready for bed & your skin smells good.  Makes me sleepy thinking of it.

4. Coffee ... I love smelling fresh roasted coffee. 



5. Baking ... just all the things. Baking cookies - pies - cakes - that smell of sweets wifting through the air. I especially love when its apple or cinnamon smells during the fall - totally my favorite


BONUS: Because I can

The smell of books... anyone ever smell their books? or am I the only one? The smell of bookstores too! Happiness in a smell



BOTTOM 5

1. The Cereal aisle. .... gag. I literally cant handle the smell of the C-word - it just gags me.  Working in youth ministry made every overnight or camp thing an issue for me. I'd hide away in the mornings with that being kids/teens fav food. No thank you.



2. Dirty Water / mildew .... any type of dirty water.  That smell in basements where water sits - or river fronts - nasty lakes. So gross

3. Hospital..... In the words of Mary Cosby from RHOSLC.  That smell of just cleaning supplies on top of sickness. I feel like that smell gets in my nose & I cant get rid of it


4. Infection .... having Bruno & Zoe who fought skin infections (Bruno) or growth infections (Zoe) - oh man... that was a tough smell.  They couldnt help it - & we'd clean them & there was just no getting that smell off of them - out of the air - when the infection was rearing its ugly gross head

5. Old Broccoli .... I love broccoli - but man. Let it get tossed in a drawer or back of the fridge that you forget about or cant see... you'll notice it REALLLL quick.

Give me your favs & worse smells!
