Last night, in my newly less-leaky shower, R. expressed that he was disappointed I was holding out on him - using Bath and Body Works PINEAPPLE shower gel while he was relegated to Strawberry Shortcake. A short explanation later, he realized that the Pineapple he was jealous of was actually shampoo. I’m sure one *could* […]
My usually relaxing and luxurious showers have been made stressful and short of late: our home has a leaky tub drain. Thank goodness the home inspector found it. I learned a lot during the home buying process, but one of the most important factors is to try to cut through the ‘halo effect’ fresh paint […]
Miss me? Since a week from today, I’ve been almost completely cut off from the internet (gasp!) and enjoying my first taste of homeownership. Our dial-up finally got sorted out yesterday, and the DSL should be up by Tuesday (a word to the wise: SPEAK IN SMALL WORDS WHEN DEALING […]
Hugo Boss recently re-launched Hugo eau de toilette. I had R. test it for a few days: he didn’t have a lot to say about it. It was clear that this fragrance failed to excite him, but also didn’t offend. I found it very green - the notes include Green Apple, Pine […]
I’m more of a serial monogamist when it comes to a signature scent. As in, I find something that fits my mood and my style du jour, but six weeks later I’m on to something new. This leads to a lot of half-full perfume bottles that get neglected. One way around this is to do […]
Even though it’s hot hot hot, my thoughts already turn to crisp October evenings, falling leaves, and bonfires. The Glam Network has compiled some great choices for you to help you shop. My pick from this list: Clean Provence - actually, I already own it and it’s a great, clean/herbal […]
Valentino is fresh off a successful retrospective fashion show, and the new Rock ‘N Rose is part of his continued success. Florals, and rose in particular, have been around as long as perfume itself. And in the past ten years, the floral + (fruity floral, especially) category has been quite saturated […]
I waited quite a while to actually burn this candle, and it’s one of the first White Barn candles I have tried. So far, I’m very happy with the scent (a juicy, slightly tart strawberry, not candyish at all!) and the throw. The container is also really cute and might actually be re-usable. It’s about […]
Creme Bouquet and Jade Blossom were Stila’s first foray into fragrance, and I was surprised to see a third fragrance offered to compliment them: Mandarin Mist. It is “light, crisp, and sweet citrus fragrance is defined by notes of mimosa and yuzu fruit- the perfect blend for a bright summer day. One spray […]
I probably sound like a broken record by now, but…it’s hot. So what better scent to send some cooling vibes throughout my bedroom than an Orange Sorbet tart?! Unfortunately, unlike most of the tarts I purchased from Epicurious Market, this one didn’t have much oomph to it. I don’t know if it was the type […]
