I Am Radiant @scentbeauty #scentguru
“Perfume is the most intense form of memory” Jean Paul Guerlain I’ve probably told you about a hundred times about one of my favorite companies Scent Beauty. Not only do they have the BEST selections of Eau de Toilette scents!! But, the packaging! I am A SUCKER for great packaging. Each month there is a different quote about perfume or cologne. This month really struck home with me. Not just perfume, but really any scent. BBQ for instance transports me immediately to a little Mom n Pop BBQ stand in Manitou Springs, Colorado I can almost taste the BBQ. I could spot it by sight but the name? Nope, can’t remember it. But, dangggg did they ever have the best food. Cornbread and coleslaw with sunflower seeds!?!? GREAT!!! Now, I am hungry again!! (This diet, not going well!) I immediately think of my Mom when I smell the perfume Opium. On the other side of the spectrum, I can’t help thinking of my ex-husband when I smell hot tar. (roofer!) I Am Radiant this is a perfect scent when my day is just… well.. blah. An empowering scent. Each shipment comes with a description card that tells you a little more…

Hello, meet Marilee!
So today I had a wild hair I wanted you to meet Marilee. (Wild hair tinted slightly green mind you, this growing out the gray and trying to get a shampoo that takes the yellow out? NOT FUN!! Anyone have any shampoo that they use that works with white hair?? ) See?? I swear I can’t just follow a single thought without shouting SQUIRREL! BTW, if you haven’t seen UP then this isn’t as funny as it really is! Back to my post. I would like for my little Peanuts to get to know my BFF. I mean, hello, I tell her about all of you guys. Occasionally I tell you about Marilee. Almost 2 years ago I saw a post that Marilee put on her Instagram page. She had knitted this AMAZING sweater! HOLY GUACAMOLE BATMAN!! A sweater!! A sweater that I swear could have been sold in a fancy smancy boutique. I sent love for the sweater along with a comment that I wished I knew how to knit. She offered to teach me AND HELLO! I called her out on the offer. The next week I showed up on her doorstep (shhhhshhh YES, I WAS invited. Hello! I’m…
Perfume, Cologne Eau de Toilette Do You Know The Difference??? @scentbeauty #scentguru
Perfume, Cologne Eau de Toilette what is the difference?? I am here to answer all some wait.. maybe a few of your questions. I am truly no expert. I know what I like and I like to smell good. FIRST, I like a very subtle scent. I don’t want to smell like I bathed in a bottle of perfume. I like subtle. So, on to the difference between perfume, cologne and eau de toilette. Basically, all fragrances are the same, but the name tells you the concentration of oil in alcohol and water. Fragrance is a big ole unisex term for any smelly substance that has fragrance oil diluted in alcohol and water. So, depending on the concentration, the result gets a different name. First, Eau Fraiche is a term I’ve never even heard of. Have you?? Maybe because this one only has one to three percent perfume oil. Meaning this one is only going to last for an hour or LESS!! Ummmm this one is not for me. Less than an hour?? Cologne. Okay, this one almost all of us are familiar with. It’s also the oldest term for fragrances. This one will last two or more hours because…
April is Autism Awareness Month #SensoryFriendlyMask #GIVEAWAY
I am the first to admit that what I know about Autism could fit on the head of a sewing pin. So we are talking NADDA!! The only thing I ever struggled with when my kids were little was dealing with pets and kids. Here are a few things that I have learned about Autism: Did you know? About one-in-54 children has been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention About one-in-six children aged 3–17 years (17%) were diagnosed with a developmental disability as reported by parents, during a study period of 2009-2017. These included autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, blindness and cerebral palsy, among others. What Exactly is Autism? Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or autism is a developmental disability considered the result of a neurological condition affecting normal brain function, development and social interactions. Children and adults with autism find it difficult or impossible to relate to other people in a meaningful way and may show restrictive and/or repetitive patterns of behavior or body movements.
