One of my favorite things about buying makeup and beauty products from the department store is the “gifts with purchase.” No matter how big or small the gifts are, it’s always a fantastic feeling to get a little something extra for free.
Right now, one of my favorite perfumes is Emilio Pucci Vivara. Though Pucci is better known for fashion than perfume, I adore this scent. It’s a rejuvenating green floral that smells fresh, clean and so “pretty.” Featuring top notes of galbanum, bergamot from Italy and amaretto, heart notes of sambac jasmine, orange flower, narcissus flower, and base notes …read more

No, you can’t eat this burger, but think of the calories you will be saving. Actually, the burger is a cute little bath sponge, the sachets are shower gel (strawberry for ketchup) body lotion (mango for mayonnaise) and body scrub (lemon for mustard). There are some pre-teens out there who is going to love this!

I will be the first to say that I HATE ironing, but spritzing each item with something that smells decadent, just might make me change my mind. I have to admit, it would be nice to pull on a blouse that is lightly scented. Warm vanilla… yes, that’s working for me right now.

Yes, I’m a little behind, but I just got home from Florida and I have a hallway table still sporting Christmas Potpourri. Time to bag it back up and put it away until next Christmas. In it’s place, this particular potpourri would work quite nicely. Not sure why gardenia suddenly appeals to me, but the scent  just seems fitting on this cold January day.

I know that it is only January, but the last three weeks, I have been soaking up the Florida sunshine and it feels like spring down here… okay until their cold spell hit a few days ago. But the temperatures should be rising starting today and spring is right around the corner for them. Me… not so lucky. I’m going home to about a zillion feet of snow. Anyway…

And all this time I thought that I was the only perfume bottle junkie!! Apparently that is not necessarily so. While Amy from The Scented Life is raving about the scent, (I think that I like the Plum Nectar the best) she does point out that the bottles are big- time “dresser candy”. I couldn’t have come up with a better description! Go and take a look!!
