So Maybe I'm a Little Fragrance Obsessed...

 I mean, doesn't everybody put on perfume just to go downstairs and hang out with the dogs for the day? I do. And I'm not ashamed. I just like to smell good, and florally, and sweet, or spicy, and light, or sultry...and mixing and matching all of the above! I think my fur babies like it too 😊🐶🐾 Every Birthday, Christmas, Valentines Day, Mothers Day or "just because I love you" gift giving opportunity--I want fragrances!! I have my favorites (anything with Gardenia), of course, but that said I'm super open minded and am game to try/wear most fragrances. I pick what I wear depending on my mood and where I'm going or what I'm doing for the day. I thought it would be fun to spotlight some fragrances that I'm currently obsessed with. Recently I've been adding to my Jo Malone collection (in which one of my best girlfriends bought me that first bottle of English Pear & Freesia several years ago) and I have been a hooked ever since!
Nothing better than smelling good...and even better being complimented on smelling good, right? Part of my routine in getting ready is also deciding what fragrance I want to wear. Sometimes the weather helps determine that choice; sometimes it's the occasion, or my planned daily activities --but my choice of perfume is ALWAYS in my thoughts. Just recently, on Easter Day, I put together a light floral mix. I knew I would be attending church, and I figured it would be a full house so of course I didn't want to wear anything too bold or strong. My mix was just perfect!! Light, sweet, and just a hint of woodsy. It started in the shower --First, sampling the amazing Jo Malone Geranium & Walnut body scrub, --THIS scrub...OMG... is so intoxicating! It smells amazing, leaves your skin perfectly exfoliated, soft, and lightly scented--all while leaving the bathroom air full of that amazing rich scent of geranium and warm walnut. Next, I always lather up in lotion from head to toe after I shower. Fortunately my March Ipsy goodie-- Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Body Lotion did the trick! This lotion is perfect! Not too heavy but the greatest kind of daytime moisturizer--lightweight and leaves skin smooth and moisturized. The lotion glided on effortlessly and was a nice light rose scent that complimented the light geranium scent that lingered on my skin from the Jo Malone Geranium & Walnut shower scrub. I tied up my heavenly scented trio by adding my latest Valentine's gift Jo Malone Red Roses cologne. Perfection. It just felt Easter-y to me and the combination of the three was warm and rose-y sweet. I was obsessed --with my wrist to my nose throughout the day!! I was smelling SO good! Hahahaaa. Good stuff, I tell you!

I could go on and on about the dozen other fragrances I'm obsessed with....and I will....at a later time--PROMISE!! The first thing that popped into my mind after writing that sentence was the hear products that I use JUST BECAUSE they smell so freakin' amazing (Dry Bar and OUAI come to mind)--Oh, the joys of having so much to talk about. What are some of your favorite fragrances? Do you like to explore, mix, and match? Or do you find your signature scent and stick with it?? I'd love to hear all about it!! xo

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...

URBAN DECAY Spring 2010!!!

One thing that I can absolutely say is that my life is never, ever dull! Just when I thought I was on the path of freedom--on my way-- literally --to celebrate the completion of my teaching credential program I took a lame spill off my porch and broke my ankle! What a dork! I find out if I need surgery tomorrow.....but in the meantime, when I'm not totally doped up and loopy, I've decided to catch up on some reading, writing, and planning of birthday parties and family vacations we would like to take this year. First off, I couldn't wait to share my ever consuming love of Urban Decay Cosmetics with everyone. It just so happens that it ties in very well with the preparation of my daughter's 12th birthday party that we are planning for her--an Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatters' birthday! Consequently, Urban Decay just released their Alice in Wonderland palette last week! I must get my fingers on this darling palette full of great shadows, 24 7 liners, and a primer p...

The FIRST Highlighting Brow Kit to hit the market!!!

Happy New Year my friends! There's nothing like starting the new year with NEW product! It makes me giddy! Especially when I get to introduce the newest most cutting edge product on the market. This time the kudos goes to: ANASTASIA of Beverly Hills. They have revolutionized the market with their brand new Highlighting Brow Kit which is the FIRST baked brow product to hit the market! I've been testing it out for you and of course it's AMAZING! There is a highlighter trio that is shimmery and natural and also a trio of brow shades so you can mix and match your perfect brow shade. The shadows can be used as is or if you dampen your brush a little you will kick up the effects for a bolder look. Very cool. I love multi-functional products! I also used the dark "brow" shades with a dampened flat angled brush and used the product as an eyeliner. It stayed on and looked natural and flawless all day. I think the 2009 brides are going to go crazy for this product. It...
