In which we give warning...

Warning, for those of you who are exploring BPAL scents!

I had previously tried Chimera (which apparently contains cinnamon oil or something akin) on my wrists with no problem. This morning, I put some on my wrists and then rubbed my wrists on my neck pulsepoints as I sometimes do when I'm wanting to smell the scent more myself.

By the time I'd gotten dressed, my neck was on fire!

I've scrubbed it off to the best of my ability (soap and water, etc) but both sides of my neck are still red and inflamed and in pain. 

Strangely, my wrists are just fine. I guess the skin there isn't as sensitive to the oil or something.

Just wanted to give a warning for others who might be sensitive.

In which we giggle...

My short fiction story, Santa Claws, is up as a recommended reading at Spec The Halls.
*grin* It's rough, but it was fun to write. Go take a peek at it and the rest of the recommended selections.
