			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other day, my daughter, Bailey, made the comment that she wished I would buy myself some new clothes after Christmas.  I was surprised because usually when she thinks of new clothes, it&#8217;s something that she wants.  Then, I realized that she was gently saying, <strong>&#8220;Mom, it&#8217;s time to freshen up your wardrobe.&#8221;  </strong>I work part-time at an elementary school and the rest of the time in my home office &#8211; I get lazy sometimes. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m Mom<strong>,</strong> sure, but<strong> I&#8217;d also like to be a confident,  attractive, (sexy) woman, as well.</strong></p>
<p>Then, I read about <a href="http://www.snarkstress.com/introducing-the-snarkstress-challenge/">Julie, The Snarkstress&#8217;s Challenge</a>, clicked through a few of her posts, found <a href="http://www.snarkstress.com/jennie-garth-knows-how-to-dress/">this photo of Jennie Garth</a>, and that&#8217;s when I got downright enthusiastic about the whole thing.  </p>
<p>I felt that this top was most like Jennie&#8217;s &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.splendicity.com/files/201/2008/12/jewel-green-top.jpg" alt="jewel-green-top.jpg" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&amp;category%5Fname=top%5Fcasual&amp;product%5Fid=2058080067&amp;Page=4#">Janelle Silky Tunic, in Hunter Green</a></p>
<p>I decided that I need more than one top if I&#8217;m truly going to be <em><strong>updating</strong></em>, so just for the heck of it, I&#8217;m going to get this one, too&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>

<p>And just because I&#8217;m feeling like treating myself extra special, I&#8217;m going to get some of this&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</p>

<p>The ingredients include&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<p jQuery1228787757430="454" class="tab_ingredient">
<h4 jQuery1228787757430="455"><font size="2">Gentle Rice</font></h4>
<p jQuery1228787757430="456">A major food staple for much of the world&#8217;s population, rice is the second most consumed cereal grain. Rice has many health benefits; it is an antioxidant, helps to lower cholesterol and assists in balancing blood sugar levels</p>
<p jQuery1228787757430="457" class="tab_ingredient">
<h4 jQuery1228787757430="458"><font size="2">Musk</font></h4>
<p jQuery1228787757430="459">Musk has been an essential ingredient in perfumery since ancient times. Its capability to enhance a fragrance comes from its ability to adopt the fixative qualities of a natural scent. Musk is a linear, powdery note</p>
<p jQuery1228787757430="460" class="tab_ingredient">
<h4 jQuery1228787757430="461"><font size="2">Frangipani Blossom</font></h4>
<p jQuery1228787757430="462">Also known as Plumeria, Frangipani Blossom has become common in all tropical areas of the world. &#8216;Frangipani&#8217; comes from the name of an Italian noble family that created a perfume from the flower. In many Pacific islands, frangipani blossoms are used to make leis. In modern Polynesian culture, the way you wear a frangipani blossom indicates your relationship status</p>

<p>I tried the <a href="http://www.splendicity.com/fragrance-review-i-tried-kenzo-amour/">KenzoAmour as part of a fragrance review </a>awhile ago and <strong>I&#8217;m hooked on it now.</strong> It&#8217;s a spicy, woody, scent. Very sexy.  If you are looking to update your fragrance collection, I suggest you pick some up, or better yet, <strong>it&#8217;s the holiday season &#8211; put it on your wish list.</strong></p>
