# 5 - scents

There are some smells that I really like.

I love walking outside to experience the smell of rain just after a storm.

I love the smell of freshly cut grass.

I love the smell of notebooks and of bindings that haven't been cracked yet. I always feel inspired to write right then and there. Oh, and new pens are always a plus, too!

A little bit of cologne on a guy is nice - just as long as it's not so overpowering that he took a bath in it. It's just comforting to have a little hint of it on his shirt. Just so that you know he's there with you.

I love the smell of grilled, stewed, or pan-friend vegetables.

I love the smell of scented candles.

I love the smell of ocean water, with a tinge of sea salt (or seaweed) in the air. So, when I close my eyes and take a deep breath, I know that I am at the ocean.

Bath & Body's Warm Vanilla Sugar hand lotion smells amazing! Though for a while now, I've been buying the unscented because it's so much cheaper.

And with these loves, there also comes some, well, dislikes. (or, things that I prefer).

I dislike any piece of meat or gluten-free hamburger or hot dog bun or piece of toast that is burnt. Correction, I will not eat a piece of meat or gluten-free hamburger or hot dog bun or piece of toast if it is burnt. I will put it on a plate or throw it away and make myself a new one. all of the time.

I will not eat a piece of pork if applesauce is placed right next to it. I will, however, eat both if they are contained; that is, if the applesauce is in it's own separate dish.

I dislike when women use WAY TOO much perfume. It's actually quite hard to breathe.

I dislike the smell of pollution in the air and burning rubber from the landfill.

I dislike the smell of mugginess when it's in the air.
