5 of My Favorite ‘Scentsational’ Things

Liberty Kontranowski — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:32:04 +0000

In celebration of our Blog of the Month, The Scented Life, we are doing a Beauty & Style channel-wide round-up of our very favorite scents. So ’scuse me a sec as I take a moment off of bashing celebs and their ridiculous frocks to share some of my yummiest smellies with you:

My #1 Absolute Favorite Perfume is (still!) Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. A classic, youthful scent that will always, always be my fave. (I think!)

My #2 Favorite Perfume which is no longer in production (but still lives on eBay, thank Gawd!) is Basic Instinct, by Victoria’s Secret. I feel mega-sexy in that scent, so I save it for those special occasions, if you know what I mean, wink-wink.

My Favorite Summertime perfume is Moon Sparkle, by Escada. Light and fruity (but not in a gaggy way), this scent is nothing short of perfect for warm-weather wear.

My favorite household scent is the Hollyberry seasonal soap by Method from Target. Love, love, LOVE that! Can’t wait for October (or more like the end of August in the retail world) for all the holiday-scented yummies to come out.

And finally, my favorite scent of all time is the Christmas Cookie candle by Yankee. Yes, dahlings, I have a huge affinity for anything that smells like food, but this candle takes the cake (cookie.) I burn these all year round (thank the candle Gods for Yankee outlets) and it leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy, no matter the season. *sigh*

So there you go, loves. My favorite scents of all time. What are yours??

Be sure to visit The Scented Life to give Amy a fine howdoyado. She’s got the scoop on all things smelly. Yum.

A Summer Sight: I Want Lisa Rinna’s Bathing Suit Bod When I Grow Up

Liberty Kontranowski — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 00:51:17 +0000

Lisa Rinna frolics (and, thus, shows off her fabby bod) in Malibu.

Ah, one of the best sights of summer: Hot celebrity bods on the beach.

And while I prefer to spend my time scoping out bods of the male variety, there is no way I could pass up giving props to the fabulous Lisa Rinna. Girlfriend is 40+ and looking fly as can be. I sure hope that when my snarky bad self reaches that ripe old age, I can look even remotely as hot (pfffft! Who am I kidding? Of course I will!)

In any case, in celebration of the Beauty & Style Channel’s ‘Sights and Smells of Summer’ theme (more on that tomorrow), I give to you a standby summer sight: A chick in a bikini.

Enjoy!
