For this week’s theme day here at Beauty & Style Channel, we’re listing our Top 5 Fragrance in honor of our scent guru, Amy from The Scented Life. Like I’ve said before, I’m not too big on perfumes coz I’m very picky with how a certain fragrance smells on me. I don’t like overpowering or dusky scents. I prefer them light and refreshing. Which is why I stick to body sprays and a couple of perfumes that I actually really really like. And here are my Top 5 Fragrances :

It’s summer, and you know what that means right? Wearing short dresses, and shorts to beat the heat therefore showing your lovely legs. I’ve been using the new Schick Quattro for weeks now and I Like It. It has 4 blades which gets the job done. Plus it has 2 conditioning strips to make shaving smooth and having smooth looking (and feeling) legs for days. AND, it has the best handle compare to all the razors out there that I’ve tried. I can’t stand it when I drop my razor while shaving. I haven’t dropped my Schick Quattro at all.

15 years ago, Kathleen Lewis was searching for an all-natural soaps to no avail so she decided to make her own at home. She named it “Good Plain Soap“. She expanded the soaps to lotions and candles. Then 8 years ago she asked a Brooklyn store if they wanted to carry “Good Plain Soap’. Months after that someone from Manhattan discovered how fabulous Kathleen Lewis’ soap. Kathleen was encouraged to create an entire line. Good Plain Soap turned into Kathleen Lewis Beauty Worldwide.
I’ve tried 2 Kathleen Lewis products. Stiff and Sore and Lip Balm.

I must be honest and confess that I had no idea what SPINLASH was when it arrived in my doorstep. My husband on the other hand was impressed that I’ve just gotten it in the mail. Not that he wears make-up, not at all..LOL, but it’s sad that he’s familiar with it and I’m not. Apparently he had seen commercials on TV. Me the oblivious one, haven’t caught it or just wasn’t paying attention to it. 2 kids, blogging, chores, laundry and a husband can do that to you .
Anyhoooooo, I was so excited to try it …read more

Bath and Body Works had their Buy 5 For $30 Sale 2 weeks ago so I took advantage of it. I bought this new scent added in their collection. Cherry Blossom. I collected 2 bottles of Body Spray since I prefer wearing sprays on a daily basis. Then the bath wash, lotion and the body cream which I use at night. Surprisingly enough, the scent of cherry blossom is mild. Which is why I bought it in the first place. It’s got that earthy tone in the end. Like almost a kick. Kinda like when you’re eating a delicious dish …read more

I was contemplating on getting my bangs last week remember? Well, I’ve gone ahead and got it back. My son was surprised when he saw me.

“Oh you got your bangs back, you look pretty with your bangs. How come you cut it off before? I couldn’t see your bangs. But now you have it back”.

The Beauty of Color by Iman is a gift from the hubs. He saw me working on my make-up breakdown post this weekend and the other day he came home from work and surprised me by handing this book. Isn’t he just the sweetest? He asked later that night if I like it coz he thought I’d be able use it for my blog. He’s romantic like that. He surprises me with things even though we’re not necessarily celebrating an occasion.
About the book, it’s quite informative. All sorts of tips for Women in color. How-To’s for different skin types, conditions, …read more

I want my bangs back. Just the bangs. I’m quite liking my medium-long layered hair which I intend to keep growing. But I miss my bangs . iVillage said bangs are great and staying this year so I guess it’s time to book an appointment with my stylist. I’m thinking of going back to auburn color also. Hmmm. What do you think?
Sorry ’bout the picture quality btw. I left the macro focus on. Do’h.
