The Scented Life: All about fragrance

It’s the little things…

One of my daily pleasures (twice daily, actually) is that lovely clean feeling after brushing my teeth (or as we say around here,  ma teef).  Lately I’ve been converted to Crest Pro-Health. I love the packaging with the wide flip-top that lets it stand on the glass shelf over the sink, conserving precious sink real […]

My Favorite Things: The Finale

I’ve been counting down some of my favorite (non perfume) scented products that I tried the past year.  I’m contemplating a similar list of my LEAST fave five as well…but I don’t want to step on too many toes!  Anyway, without further ado, here is the final product on my list that really stands out:  […]

Sweet Scented Breath: disposable, portable teeth cleaning!

I love going out for lunch.  Probably too much.  And one of my favorite stops is at a cart that serves yummy salads chock full of raunchy-breath ingredients like onion, garlic, and other spices.  Not the best if you’re trying to impress a client or boss at a 2pm meeting.  I already keep floss in […]

All Season Naturals - Pink Petal Butter Blend

I was given a .33 oz sample of this hand lotion by a friend,  and I happened to start using it the other day on a whim.  I was really in love with the scent (a sweet-pea and aloe concoction).  I couldn’t find out much about it - there is a website on the little […]

If it ain’t Baroque….

For all the work we put into our hair, washing, conditioning, drying, styling, etc…I’m really surprised products like this aren’t more popular.  This is Baroque Blue Gelee du Parfum, a solid perfume that doubles as a hair gel!
This super fragrant, travel-friendly solid perfume infuses your skin with a soft, sexy scent. Unique and […]

Blowout Sale at Bliss Spa!

Sales like this are almost bound to be plagued with “technical difficulties”, but shop early and shop often, I say.

A Scented Remedy for Fall Allergies

About a week ago, my fall allergies kicked in hard. Apparently, it’s ragweed season. Up until about a year ago, I was pretty much miserable all the time - I was taking about 10 sudafed tabs on top of an Allegra-D (more sudafed in that one) and still never stopped sneezing. Fortunately, […]

A friendly note to L’Oreal’s haircare division

I think it might be worth a shot to write an open letter to L’Oreal, with a bit of friendly advice, so here goes. I purchased a bottle of their reformulated Vive Pro conditioner. It’s for “unmanageable hair” which is definitely what I have going on. The formula is great - I […]

Lush - Naked!

Lush, a love-it-or-hate-it cosmetics/toiletries company with a small but growing presence here in the United States, recently staged a “cheeky” campaign to call attention to something we might not often consider - how the packaging for our cosmetics and other beauty products affects the environment. Their stance, obviously, is the first R - […]

Perfumes for Relaxing - Scensoir em

As I wrote about earlier, I’m on a desperate quest to find out if perfume or other scented product can really improve my sense of relaxation, especially when it comes to sleepytime. Late last week I was testing out Ce by Scensoir, and the latest few evenings I tested Em. Em is very […]
