Fragrances I'm Loving


Getting perfume for Christmas seems to be a little tradition that my family has started. Last year it was Marc Jacobs Daisy and this year it was a refill of my personal favorite, Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue.  As much as I love this tradition, I know perfume can be very pricey and that's something that holds a lot of people, including myself back from buying these fragrances.


I know that most people, (including myself), probably wouldn't drop this amount of many year round to keep my perfume supply full. Which is why I love getting less expensive perfume oils from the drugstore.


My older sister always used to use this Egyptian Goddess perfume from Whole Foods. I used to steal it all the time so she told me that I needed to buy my own. These perfumes smell so great and they're usually less than $15. The only down side I would say is that if you want a spray and not a roller ball, they're few and far between. 


Perfumes are also very seasonal for me. I usually would go for something like Daisy in the summer months as opposed to the winter months. I would gravitate to my Light Blue in the winter because it's just has a warmer tone to it. Now I'm definitely not saying that I don't wear Daisy in the winter because I do. It's a very happy and floral scent that I love. 

Comment down below your favorite perfumes! :) Do you like a warmer or more fruity scent?

My Favorite Things About Winter



The winter months are my favorite time of year. Where we live, it's never really that cold around this time of year but it's just cold enough to wrap yourself in a cozy blanket with a great book. I'd be lying if I said that reading is my favorite pass time. I would usually be on my phone grazing Instagram and Twitter, but that wouldn't have made a nice picture :). For me, candles complete the feeling of winter. A candle that smells like a cupcake makes everything feel warm in the room. This throw that everything is sitting on is a great color that goes with all of my decor. I don't love how it feels so it's definitely more decorative for me than anything. I've decided to get healthy in the new year and that's where this book comes in. I haven't read it yet but, I'd be happy to do a review for anyone who wants one when I finish it (leave a comment below) :). 

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and we are wishing everyone a great New Year! Make 2015 great! :)

XO, O
