Boutique Treasure!



I get so giddy when I find a little hidden treasure when I least expect it. As I was walking through one of my favorite "old town" stores, the Farmer's Wife, I was drawn to the section of the store where there were fragrances, lotions, bath salts, and other yummy things I could get my hands on. I immediately spotted the word "rose" and was instantly drawn in. I LOVE rose water and am always looking out for it. But this little goody caught me by surprise. Kimono Rose by Thymes isn't your typical rose smelling fragrance. This one is unique in ways I am going to attempt to explain.....

The feeling that was provoked when I tried on the roller ball fragrance was one of instant satisfaction. I was thinking about how I couldn't wait home and give my hubby a hug to see if he noticed anything different. The scent is subtly powerful, romantic and sweet, with both light notes and bold notes. This is the description on the Thymes website:

Sparkling and lyrical, Kimono Rose is unabashedly feminine, beautifully layered
with an undercurrent of intrigue. A sheer, sensuous floral heightened with
effervescent sweet clementine and voluptuous cassis on a creamy bed of satiny
rose, peony and jasmine petals…finished with a kiss of smooth, silken vanilla.
Delicate but dynamic; softspoken, yet striking, it is a modern reflection of who
you are, and who you want to be…all wrapped up in one truly lovely fragrance.



It comes in sprays and lotions and candles. Oh I can't wait to get my hands on the entire collection! I love that it comes in my new little favorite....the roller ball (which was introduced to me when I started wearing Sharon Bolton Scents in LUV)....so I can just throw it in my bag and run. Go check this stuff out. I promise you won't be disappointed!

He thought I was 24!!!!

I am literally weeks away from turning 30 years old and to tell you the truth….very excited about it. I’m not all caught up in feeling like I’m getting old and all that hoopla. I’ ve always thought I’ ve looked young for my age and have enjoyed growing up and maturing. I was taken aback recently when somebody I see on a regular basis due to work related duties commented on me being the same age as they were after telling me they were 24 years old….I was shocked. I was like, “honey, you’re just a baby!” and he commented back about how we were the same age and I was like, “NO……I’m hitting 30 here!” He was really surprised. Well I thought about this little fortunate exchange of words for a while. What about me make people think I am younger than what I actually am? I’ ve always been on more of the mature side. My best friends are all older than me….even by 8 or more years. So it’s not me acting immature that makes me look young. I’ ve had two kids so I don’t have that cute hip body an...

the AHHH-MAZING: Urban Defense

Whoa! I consider myself a pretty loyal person. Once I find a great product I usually stick with it. I have been using the same tinted moisturizer for the last couple of years and I truly love it but when I saw that Urban Decay came out with their own version, "Urban Defense" I couldn't get my mind off of wanting to try it out. It just so happened that I had ran out of my other product and was strolling by Sephora last week when I decided to cheat on my faithful tinted moisturizer and purchase Urban Defense (in Halo--light) by Urban Decay. Oh my goodness! I LOVE IT! The product glides on nicely and has the perfect sheer coverage I love. It's lightweight, smells nice, and my favorite result is that it does not leave my face shiny! I'm not a big foundation lover--especially during the hot summer months-- so when I can use a tinted moisturizer that gives me the sheer coverage I like and protects with a SPF 20--I am in skincare Heaven! My, hmmm - hmmm, fine lines are l...
