Apologies y'all that this is a week late in getting to you, but here at last is a crisp new bingo challenge for that change in the air. The leaves may not quite be peak for peeping yet, but they’re already crunching underfoot. (Southern hemisphere folks – in the second slide is the spring one, and here is the link for that [original post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Indiemakeupandmore/s/Tt3CIdT8ft).)

As with the previous editions, I’ve designed this card to help those of us with large collections to feel inspired to shop what we have instead of buying more, and hopefully make some decisions about curating what we keep. The idea is to knock out as many squares as possible before Starbucks brings out the peppermint beverages (well, I won’t actually post the winter one until December... I’m not a fan of the the Retail Season schedule…).

Even if you don't have a big collection, you can still use this card to try for a traditional 5-squares in a row/column/diagonal bingo win! There's no prizes, just the satisfaction of a collection well-loved.

Use this card however works best for you: print it out and hang it up near your 'fumes stash for morning inspo, or just keep track of what you wear however you like and fill in the bingo later. Post reviews or progress updates whenever. The daily threads are a great place to put up quick thoughts and check in. This is geared towards perfume ideas, but go ahead and use other, non-perfume indie products as well if they fit the theme. I’ll post a mid-way check-in for us after Halloween.

If the image isn't your thing, here's all the squares in list form:

1. A former favorite
2. One with an animal in the name
3. Teen/tween vibes
4. Something spooky or gothic
5. One that’s challenging to wear
6. Grandma/Grandpa vibes
7. Use a perfume in a new way
8. Fall Favorite
9. Has a note you usually dislike but it works here
10. Elemental (Air, Earth, Fire, or Water)
11. Match your perfume to the day’s weather
12. One that your friends/loved ones like
13. A recent favorite
14. Blend/wear two together
15. One that’s out of season
16. Game Day: something sporty
17. Cozy & comforting
18. One that your friends/loved ones don’t like
19. Camping Weekend
20. Outer space/night sky vibes
21. Pair a perfume with a book/TV show/video game
22. Gold or silver vibes
23. Something tied to a memory
24. One from your most recent purchase
25. A bountiful harvest

Please feel free to interpret these ideas generously! Or if you are really stuck on a square, look back over the other bingos and swap it out for something else that inspires you. "Use a perfume in a new way" could be putting something in your lotion or cuticle oil or putting an oil in a diffuser - search the sub for creative ideas, there's a lot of clever ideas floating around & feel free to share any ideas you have in the comments here! (And it doesn't have to be a thing you've never done before, just that you're doing a non-traditional thing with a 'fume.) For "blend/wear two together", feel free to count layering hair glosses, body lotions, dusting powders and so on with your perfume as well as actually layering two perfumes. The idea here is just to get you thinking about things in your collection and feel inspired to shop around within it. Make this challenge work for *you* and have fun!
