So, if you are a woman who travels or always on the go, like me; then Travalo is going to be your new best friend. When I travel I always forget to bring my perfume because it only took one time for TSA to throw away my favorite perfume for me to never travel with it again. I know you are thinking you can store it in your luggage and check it, but I don’t always have a check bag. I also worry about losing my luggage or the perfume breaking in my bag. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper and I no longer have to worry about that because I have Travalo I can now bring my favorite perfume anywhere. It is TSA approved and I can keep it inside my purse at all times. You never know when you may need a little squirt on your wrist, now it is readily available. It is so convenient to have it in your purse and not have to carry around that big cumbersome bottle that looks so nice on your dresser where it should stay.

Ladies travel with your favorite scent, get your Travalo at http://us.travalo.com knowing your favorite perfume is safely tucked away in your purse.

Body Butter with Flavor

Whish

Remember when you were a little girl and your mother had the best hand lotion ever? You know the special lotion that stayed in her room sitting on that mirror on her dresser, next to her fancy perfume. Remember the smell of it as she pumped a small amount into the palm of her hand and gently rubbed her hands together? I do, I also remember thinking one day I will have special lotion, now I too have my own special lotion. Thanks to Whish!

Whish is so special it’s not called lotion it’s called Body Butter. Whish has an exciting new line called the Soda Fountain Collection, exclusively offered at Nordstrom stores nationwide. This collection has four great scents Black Cherry, Ginger Melon, Orange Cream and Key Lime. When you pump a small amount into your palm the air is instantly filled with the scent and you imagine yourself sitting at the counter at the ice cream parlor, swinging your legs to the music playing on the juke box. This body butter goes on so smooth, rich and creamy my skin feels moisturized and hydrated for hours.

Go ahead and get your body butter at www.Nordstrom.com and pick the flavor that is going to keep your skin silky smooth all day.

Bodycology is Naughty and Nice

unnamed-15

Bodycology Naughty and Nice Sweet Seduction is one of my favorite mists and lotions for the summertime. The fresh petals and apple fragrance is so fruity and cool so it’s great for when the weather is humid and you want to feel refreshed. After I get out of the shower, I usually apply the lotion to my legs and arms and when I leave the house I will spray the mist on my neck. The cream really moisturizers my legs and if you love cocoa, shea, and jojoba butters, this is the lotion for you. The fragrance of the mist and body lotion last for quite a while, too. Another great thing is that these products are made in the USA! The mist and the lotion would make a great gift for a loved one, and they can be found at drugstores or Walmart and Target for only around $3 to $5.

This Valentine’s Day Celebrate with BCBGMAXAZRIA bon Genre

spacer Unknown-98

It was the elegance of the perfume bottle that caught my attention. The vibrant purple bottle, (my favorite color) was resting on a glass shelve at a local fine department store and I just couldn’t resist. I never bought a perfume based on its color or design but when I smelled the fragrance, I loved it. The amazing fragrance in the purple bottle with an open flower adorning it is called BCBGMAXAZRIA bon Genre.

I was very curious as to what the name stood for. I do know that Max Azria is a french fashion designer, based in Los Angeles and  founded the women’s clothing line BCBGMAXAZRIA.  The letters BCBG translated in French  means “bon chic, bon genre” in other words, “good style, good attitude”, and BCBGMAXAZRIA bon Genre is a  true reflection of its name.

I found the fragrance to be quite elegant and sophisticated and can easily be worn both day time and evening.  BCBGMAXAZRIA describes this newest fragrance as, “A seductive scent with an alluring air of mystery – bold notes of Lychee, Red Berries, Bergamot and Black Pepper ORPUR, result in a kick of attitude and a vivacious fashion energy.”  Mid notes of Jasmine, tuberose, tiger lily, cardamom and Base notes of Australian sandalwood, golden amber, black vanilla and patchouli make this ultra feminine fragrance a “must-have” for every woman who loves to smell elegant.

Unknown-99

This is BCBGMAXAZRIA’s third fragrance in this amazing collection (shown above). They include BCBGMAXAZRIA Fragrance, BCBGMAXAZRIA Bon Chic Eau de Parfum and the newest scent, BCBGMAXAZRIA bon Genre. It’s not too late to surprise your special lady on Valentine’s Day with a BCBGMAXAZRIA fragrance or gift set. This irresistible fragrance gift set includes a 3.4 fl. oz. Eau de Parfum Spray, 3 fl. oz. Shower Gel, 3 fl. oz. Body Lotion and .33 fl. oz. Travel Spray.

BCBGMAXAZRIA fragrances can be found at bcbg.com or macys.com which is where I found mine.

The Lavender Experience With L’Occitane Eau De Cologne

L'Occitane
I had never found a fragrance that was so inviting and comfortable until I tried L’Occitane en Provence’s Lavande de Haute-Provence Eaude Cologne. It captures an appealing freshness of aroma, the combination of ripe fruits, floral, and woody musk notes which play together!  L’Occitane en Provence Lavande de Haute-Provence Eau de Cologne is an unsex scent which is so surprisingly sophisticated with the light, breezy scent of lavender. The scent of lavender is known to relieve stress, uplift your mood and calm your senses.  Although it is known for being relaxing, it also has something rejuvenating about it.  It is different from the original lavender perfume, but every bit as lovely.  There is no obvious essential oil smell with this perfume, only the soothing, rich lavender scent.  This radiant, longevity scent makes it so easy to wear, lifting up your spirits with confidence and happy expectations.  It is an escape to a dreamy, perfect, blissful day.

I love the fact that it comes in huge bottle which is an invitation to splash it generously all over my body!  I enjoy spritzing it on my bed sheets, pillows, bath towels, and my closet full of clothes. I also, add a few drops to my bath water for a soothingly Zen and Provencal atmosphere. The aroma of L’Occitane en Provence Lavande de Haute-Provence Eaude Cologne makes my thoughts wander of fields and fields of amazing, gorgeous, wild purple lavender stalks swaying in the winds of South France, smelling herbal but slightly flowery at the same time. You will love and enjoy this fragrance when you want to wear something simple, fresh, and timeless!  L’Occitane en Provence Lavande de Haute-Provence Eaude Cologne is available at L’Occitane boutiques, online stores, and www.loccitane.com.  It retails for $52.00 for 10.1 fl.oz.

Lavanila Forever Fragrance Oil is the perfect gift for any party!

Lavanila Fragrance Oil

The definition of “regift” in the Merriam Webster dictionary …… “to give someone a gift that was previously received from someone else.”  A friend of mine had a “Regifting Party”.  Everyone who attends this party must bring a item that they once received as a gift. The item has to be new and unopened.  After the delicious appetizers and exquisite drinks, it was time to exchange the merchandise. In between all the oohing and aaahing, I opened my regifted item……. Lavanila Forever Fragrance Oil!  First of all, I love the brand Lavanila, I am very familiar with its reputation! Lavanila is an all natural company that uses only the finest ingredients in all their products. The roll-on sweet almond oil is a luscious blend of sparkling grapefruit, fresh cedarwood and warm Madagascar vanilla bean scent.  It is a clean, uplifting citrus fragrance and is made without Parabens, Petrochemicals, Phthalates, Silicones, Propylene Glycol, Mineral Oils, Synthetic Dyes, Sulfates, Chemical Sunscreens, or Aluminum.  It is All Natural! 

The roll-on oil sensuality melts into the skin to hydrate and last twice as long as traditional fragrances. Lavanila does not test on animals and is made in the USA!  The Lavanila Forever Fragrance Oil is also available in Vanilla Coconut and Pure Vanilla and, retails for $25.00 for .27 fl oz.at  Lavanila.com.  Well this was one time I did not feel cheated or angry to receive a regifted gift.  It was a genuine hit!  The funny part of this story…. as the party continued into the night, I ended up chatting with the women who presented me with her regifted item.  She was complimenting me on my scent throughout the conservation.  Well, I really didn’t have the heart to tell her…. it was her regifted gift “Lavanila Forever Fragrance Oil.  Her loss – my gain!

It’s Back to School With Soap & Paper!

 

Solid-balsam-fig-thumbsolid-vanilla-fleur-thumb

At the beginning of every school year, I like to pick a special item that I know my daughter would like in her book bag. Besides the usual pens, pencils and notebooks, I thought of something special that I know she will love, a solid perfume from Soap & Paper Factory. How cute is this? These delightful solid perfumes are contained in a small, round, acrylic container that will literally fit in your back pocket or better yet, my daughter’s book bag. This adorable 1/2 ounce size Soap & Paper Factory Solid Perfume comes in 9 fragrances and will have my daughter smelling fantastic throughout the day. These solid perfumes won’t leak and the container is quite sturdy, it’s the perfect book bag accessory, don’t you think?

IMG_4445

I asked a few of my friends what they thought about Soap & Paper Solid Perfumes and almost immediately they said they loved the compact size. “How can something that small contain something that smells so good?”, take it from me, the Spiced Pear smells incredible. We all agreed that the solid perfume is not only a fabulous book bag idea but they are sensational travel bag and purse accessories. These  pure jojoba and beeswax perfumes will not leak in your bag, they offer precise application without spray, and as I said earlier, they smell fabulous.

The only downside to these delightfully fragrant accessories is choosing a scent. Why not try all of them and you can start by visiting soapandpaperfactory

Give The Gift of Luxury and Elegance With Krigler Perfume

A gift from Krigler is a gift of Luxury and Elegance. In order to appreciate the beauty behind Krigler’s exquisite perfume collection, I want to tell you about their fascinating history. Krigler Perfume, a New York-Monte Carlo base namesake house, was founded in 1904 by Russian born, Albert Krigler. It was his “desire to create unique luxury fragrances made with the finest ingredients from around the world.” During the 1920’s Krigler Perfume was enjoyed around the world by many, including celebrities like John F. Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace  Kelly. Enjoy learning more of Krigler’s intriguing timeline and history at http://www.krigler.com/inside-krigler.html .

If you are searching for a special fragrance this holiday season, search no more. Krigler Perfume has dozens of perfumes and gift selections. One fragrance in particular I have to mention is Jazzy Riviera. This unique fragrance was created in 2010 in recognition of the Jazz Era in Cap d’ Antibes, France. This fragrance marked the 100th Anniversary of the opening of the Krigler Atelier in this french coastal town. In creating Jazzy Riviera, Albert Krigler was inspired by many of his noteable friends like  Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and Dorothy Parker. I can only describe Jazzy Riviera as having citrus topnotes of Bergamote, Lemon and Citrus. I enjoyed this intriguing fragrance at first scent.

Krigler has introduced their One-Of-A-Kind Scent, Topaze Imperiale 13.  This fragrance is truly my favorite fragrance from Krigler thus far. The fragrance is truly intoxicating, containing my favorite scents of vanilla and citrus. According to Krigler,“Topaze Imperiale evokes the undeniable allure of this precious stone. Intriguing top notes of Vetiver, Musk and Sandlewood lead to an addictive heart of Vanilla, Neroli and Oud before leading to the magnetic base that is accented by notes of Amber, Galbanum, Rose and Mandarin”. I sampled Topaze Imperiale 13 earlier today, and all I can say is I can still smell this delicate scent on my wrist and it smells simply devine. I wouldn’t mind finding this perfume in my stocking this Holiday Season.

Krigler’s Exclusive Perfume Boutique is only found in New York City and Monte Carlo and their online store is http://www.krigler.com/shop-online.html
