Buried Treasures...The Fragrance Edition

Tuesday, November 07, 2006


I haven't did one these in a while even though there is not a day that goes by where I'm not like"I have this?". This rainy morning I was hunting down a fragrance to make this day feel a little better. It's Tuesday,I have to be at work early, "Bubba Boy" AKA "Big Ole' Baby" has asthma and I was up last night giving him a breathing treatment and yeah, that its "that" time of the month. I needed a pick me up in the scent nature because I was tired and sleepy. I scanned my dresser full of fragrances I saw nothing I wanted to wear( despite having 5 new scents). I saw a little box sitting to side of the dresser and notice that there were several samples of fragrances. And I mean GOOD stuff I forgot I had even though they are samples or decants:

Stila Midnight Bloom
Fresh Index Pink Jasmine
Fresh Cannibis Santal
JLO Love at First Glow
CK Euphoria
DKNY Red Delicious
Jil Sander Sport
EllenTracy
Baby Grace
Pure Grace
Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
Marc Jacobs Essence
Allure by Chanel
Staked Style Fuji Flower
Flowerbomb

I decided to wear Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf and Kiehls Musk. What I great start to a less than okay day!!

Pure Pleasure...

Sunday, November 05, 2006


I love a good foot cream. Even though I could never get with the pedicure a week @the "nails spot" thing, I try to maintain my best at home with soft feet and simple polish. The Product Fairy dropped in my mailbox, Amala Herbal Foot Therapy by Akhassa. I put it on my weary, stand at the Circulation Desk feet after a long bath and slipped on some cotton. My feet felt wonderfully rich and refreshing. Visit www.akhassausa.com for more great products including my wishlist item for now, Akhassa Soy Candles!!

Rave!!: Rhassoul Polish System


My skin on my face is literally like steel. It takes a beating and keeps on moving.I have tried all kinds of systems, collections,etc. and nothing has made my face breakout or peel except of that God forbidden Clinique 3-step! So when I received the Rhassoul Polish System, I wasn't nervous about switching to try another skin care routine. But was nervous about using soap on my face, ie. the Clinique soap in the 3-step:(. Jody, my lavender queen at Daybreak Farms, reassured me that its one the most natural, gentle "way to glow". It comes in two lather layers.I first washed my face with the Rhassoul bar by directly massaging the bar on my face as instructed, creating a thick lather. Next I lathered up Prairie Oat Mint Bar and applied the lather on top of the Rhassoul lather. After rinsing thoroughly I could feel the exfoliation of the skin. You would have thought I used some grain like scrub to get that smoothness. After a week of using the Rhassoul and Prairie Oat Mint Bar on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning and just Prairie Oat Mint Bar on Tuesday and Thursday, I saw that the large pores on my cheeks were significantly minimized or gone, the texture of my skin was brighter and smoother and there was not a dry patch on my face not one day. This system of washing is phenomenal and I don't say that very often about skin care. Visit DayBreak Lavender Farms at www.soap-please.com
