UNscented Life: Charlie’s Soap

I have an old-azz, third-hand washing machine.  I love the smell of Gain detergent, but for whatever reason, my clothes just don’t come clean.  I don’t know if it’s the detergent, my machine,  or what.  ESPECIALLY my workout clothes made from synthetics like cool-max and duo-dry.  So my next step is to try something totally […]

Use it Up Challenge: The results!

Remember back in the day when I challenged you to find some ways to declutter your perfume and bath/body product stash?  The idea, of course, is to make room for new products, as well as make efficient use of the ones you already own.  For many things, this simply means focusing on using the same […]

Febreze gets into the act: Limited Edition spring scent!

These days, it seems like everyone releases limited edition/seasonal scents.  Especially around the holidays, mass market brands like Suave and Method put out popular items available for a limited time.  Today I read that Febreze released a new scent,”Winds & Springtime”.  It sounds like a fresh-floral, which I was totally feeling this morning as I […]

Saturday Night Scent Fest!

Okay, so I’ve had a hugely busy and stressful week. So what’s a girl to do? I spent 2 looong hours at the gym today, gave Mackie a much-needed bath, and ate some tasty enchiladas at our fave restaurant. Oh, and I took a 3 hour nap!
Anyway, I went on a […]

The Greening of Clorox?

I’m sure you read, with great interest, that personal care products brand Burt’s Bees was purchased by Clorox for. . . a lot.   They now have a line of cleansers called “Green Works”.  Obviously Clorox is trying hard to make its image more environmentally friendly.  There are already many great, more natural cleaners like Mrs. […]

Mrs. Meyers newest scent - Basil!

Mrs. Meyers has several very lovely products that are even better because they are made with healthier ingredients.  Introducing the newest scent - basil!  I can’t wait to sniff it for real, but until now the description will have to do:
With all the chores that need doing, a bit of extra energy is certainly […]

Use it Up Challenge! Week 2…

Well, as of about three hours ago, I finally have flushable toilets and working shower again, but we’re so not out of the woods.   As in, the sewer lines under our home (and out to the street) may very well need to be replaced.  But in any case I’ve been pushing ahead nonetheless.  Baby steps […]

Use it Up Challenge - Week 1 results!

Just to show you that I’m a person who practices what I preach, I have started my work on the Use-it-Up challenge. My Scented Life is actually beset with sewer line problems (I promise, no gory details) but the long and short of it is that I’ve been taking 3-minute showers this week. […]

Use it Up!

Whether you’re a beauty blogger/writer, and have a big collection from reviews and articles, or are just a beauty junkie (let’s face it, I’m both), chances are your shower, closets, dresser, and other spots in your home are stashed full of scented lotions, scrubs, moisturizers, cleansers, and who knows what else. It gets kind […]
