Perfume Factory?

Did I actually go to one of the first perfume factories ever made? I think so! Today, I will tell you about my amazing day at the perfume factory!
Okay, one thing is, never use too much perfume. Why? Because perfume has aluminum in it, and too much aluminum can be poisonous. You might be thinking, Perfume has aluminum foil in it?! Well if you thought that, you thought wrong! The kind of aluminum I'm talking about, is a special kind of aluminum, found in the center of the earth! Now you may be wondering, Well, if aluminum is so bad for you, then why to perfume makers put it in the perfume? Sorry to break this to you, but they unfortunately don't have a choice. :(  I'm still confused!! You may be complaining to yourself. You ask a lot of questions! (That's not a bad thing!) Anyways, the answer to why these good smelling liquid creators don't have a choose, is because aluminum grows in the ground, (like I said before) And it isn't too far from the surface, so when plants grow, guess what grows up inside the stem? When the perfume makers pick the flowers to use in the perfume, they are also picking the aluminum which is also in the flowers buds!
An old method of making perfume, takes us back all the way in to the 1900s! Fasten your seat belts! We are going back in time!!! (Back in time noises)
Now this method of making perfume, is very odd! You take this glass plate that you can get from any local store, and then you get some animal fat, (Don't ask me where to get that!) heat up the fat, then place on the plate, next take about ten flowers, and mold into the fat. Leave that to set for about two years. (Seriously!!!)
Our next method is still used today! Now look at this big bin that is about 9 feet tall, and the exact same one next to it! One of these bins have a big net inside it from one end to the other. Why? Because the flowers go on that net! Then, underneath that net, FIRE!!! You heat the flowers, and the smell of them, goes through that big tube at the top of each bin, and then, once in the other bin, (which has water inside it instead of fire and a net) the smell soaks into the water, and becomes perfume!
Unfortunately, our journey back in time has to end. Please buckle your seat belts to retune home. (VROOOOOMM)
Okay, I am glad you enjoyed our little journey! I hope you can join us next time! (Sorry for no pictures!)

COMMENT CORNER
Mrs Brink- Wow! Maddy, you are one lucky girl to be learning in two different places. I would love to see a picture of your house there. It sounds like you are doing well. When will you be back in the states? How was your sister's wedding??? I bet it was pretty!!!!! Have you been very busy? Tell me about your visit with Nora and her family..:) We miss you!!!


My Response- Hi Mrs. Brink!!! I'll put some pictures of my house on on my next blog! I couldn't 
this time because I couldn't find the cord to connect my camera to the computer! I will be probably be back a bit earlier than expected, on account of my dad's work, he is having some major problems, and some meetings that he can't miss. My sister's wedding was beautiful!!! I loved my dress, even if it was too short! I have been very busy, and everyday, I have a list of new activities planned! Nora was a blast, and a very polite friend to have over! We loved having them over! It was a charm!!! We miss all of you, and i plan to return to Willis to say "Hello" sometime soon!
