Google Tried To Buy Color For $200 Million. Color Said No. Solid perfume pocket watch locket. Try as I might, I cannot seem to grasp even the most basic of feminine beauty rituals.
I’m constantly struggling to master rudimentary hair and makeup techniques, and my one-time foray into the “subtle” art of perfume left everyone in the room with burning nostrils. This DIY solid perfume locket from artisanal perfumer Mandy Aftel is something I can definitely stand behind, though. Mandy only uses pure and natural ingredients to create her perfumes, and this solid scent can be easily applied with no risk of over-dousing. The old pocket watch appeals to my tomboy side, and I love its versatility; you can wear it as a necklace or pin, or simply tuck it into your pocket or purse.
Phlogiston-ish theories in modern chemistry — Which are they? The phlogiston theory reigned for quite a while.
It held that all combustible resources contain phlogiston, a substance without color, odor, taste, or mass* that is liberated in burning. Once burned, the “dephlogisticated” substance was held to be in its “true” form, the calx. The theory made good sense for hundreds of years and had its proponents still in the early 19th century. (*One irritating detail, however, is that phlogiston must have negative mass, which does not feel quite right to most people.)
Then came the discovery of the element oxygen and everything changed.
