I FOUND IT!

I freakin' found my chapstick.

I've tried the basic ChapStick, Carmex, Softlips, Blistex, LipSmackers...

Or the loved Burt's Bees, the Bath&Body Works C.O. Bigelow's and Savannah Bee's, the different Body Shop flavors, Victoria's Secret...

Or even the expensive dermatologist lip formulas...

But, I freaking found it!!!!!!!!!!

It's Aveeno's Essential Moisture Lip Conditioner with SPF 15. I LOVE IT! It doesn't have the automatic tingle like Softlips or Burt's Bees, but it soothes and moisturizes your lips beautifully. And it doesn't dry out. I enjoy the smell of it too. You can get it at your local Walmart or Target for around 2-3 bucks? I am pretty sure that's the price. I've found happiness after all....

Ode to Perfume

So, this week I will make an 'ode' to a topic per day. That doesn't limit me to solely to showing my blatant love to one item. But it will keep me writing everyday this week...

Since I don't want to write a 10-line stanza in iambic verse... I think I'll solely just speak of the objects in casual form.

Today is perfume. I own three, and want to know what everyone else wears.


My Day Perfume:

So, some of us remember when the Victoria's Secret Garden Collection was the really popular. Well, although not pictured there, that exact bottle of perfume came in Romantic Wish. It's a lighter fruit scent, and is perfect for day time. Everyone always tells me I smell really nice and fresh when I wear it.

The reason why I still have this discontinued puppy? I got it junior year of high school, before I really wore perfume. I will be sad when the bottle is gone...

My Always & Forever Perfume:

This bottle is a little obvious, it's Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. My mom wears this and started when she was around 17. Then, that was passed onto me. I love this classic scent, and all the guy's I've dated agree. It isn't strong, except the first second it's sprayed on. Yet, the scent still is noticeable. This classic will be my mainstay perfume for the rest of my life.

My On/Off Perfume:

I got this Betsey Johnson Perfume last Christmas, and am unsure as to how I feel about it. It's definitely a love/hate relationship. I like the shape of the bottle. Sometimes, though, the scent is a little overwhelming for me and can make me sick. So, I have yet to make a decision as to how I feel about this bottle.


I really want to know what Marc Jacob's Daisy smells like, but it seems like it's a tad overrated. I guess I'll have to see for myself.

A perfume I'd recommend that I don't own would be Fresh's Cannabis Santal. I received a free sample from Barney's the other day, and really love the scent. According to the box, it's:
- top notes are Bergamot, Brazilian Orange, Black Plum.
- heart notes are: Patchouli, Cannabis Accord.
- base notes are Chocolate, Vetiver, and Vanilla Musks.

Yum...

Inspiracíon

Gosh knows how many of these there are. But she's so beautiful... I remember seeing it for the first time at the Palace of Fine Arts. She was in a story book I was given as a little girl.
