The Burnt Popcorn Debacle


Everyone's done it; I just did it worse.

I put the bag of popcorn in the microwave for 6 minutes, thinking I would take it out when, as the bag instructed, the pops were two seconds apart. In time, I got used to the popping noise and decided to take a shower.

When I got out of the shower, there was a steaming, black brick of what used to be popcorn in my microwave, making a faint high-pitched cry for me to set it free. I did, of course, and the ensuing odor took over my whole apartment. :(

My personal BPD (burnt popcorn debacle) led me to write this latest post, a pitch for the only thing that can remedy such disasters as BPDs: Open windows and Lollia fragrance candles.

Cute Buttons is usually where I go for cards (duh), invitations (duh), pajamas (surprising, but yes, duh) and even wine holders (duh...and because every modern woman needs more than one). Since the time I discovered Cute Buttons I haven't really needed candles, and actually I normally tend to get them at the grocery store (eww). However, this sitch called for some serious fragrance, and I knew Alison wouldn't let me down.

My pick: Lollia's "perfumed luminaries." They look gorgeous just sitting on the counter (some have a cute little charm) and they smell divine. Not too sweet, not too...lysol-y. Naturally, Cute Buttons has them in stock and floating around the store!
