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...

Gorgeous Locks!

Beautiful Hair for Brunettes! When a dear friend of mine, Distressed Jeans, went to a wonderful little shindig a.k.a.: Melanie Segal's Platinum Luxury Suite for a pre-Emmy party, she was able to snag up all kinds of goodies. Read her post about the wonderful event and all her goodies here . Anyway, Distressed Jeans is a beautiful blonde while my head of hair is more of a mix of browns, reds, and a smidgen of blonde highlights. So I lucked out when she gave me her Bed Head shampoo and conditioner in Brunette Goddess . First of all, this shampoo smells good enough to eat. Like sweets that were freshly baked. I don't know, every time I've used this stuff I've craved a cinnamon roll! The sweet smell is surprisingly long lasting.....which I love! My hair feels like pure silk and is so shiny and pretty! I only like to wash my hair a few days a weeks and with this shampoo and conditioner my hair still looks fresh and clean even if two or three days have gone by between washi...
