In The Beginning...

When I was little, like many young girls, I would sneak spritzes of my mother’s perfumes and play in her make up. You see, my mom was, (and still is), a beautiful woman. Now I know we all think our mothers are beautiful, and they are! My mom was elegant, classy, stylish and drop dead gorgeous. She has always taken very good care of herself and her family. In middle school, my guy friends had a “Hot Mom list”, and my "hot mom" was always at the top. This often made me mad because, to me, she was, well...MY MAMA!

Summer Loves 2022

With short and sweet reviews, these perfumes are not ranked, but simply listed in the order they are pictured. Prices listed are reflective of discount online retailers as of September 2022. Midnight Fantasy EDP - Britney Spears Released in 2006, Currently around $25 US for 100ml ***THIS IS A STEAL! This is yummy and charming! I know. I'm not 18 or 25 or even 35, but sometimes you just want to smell youthful and carefree. I get a creamy blueberry blast in the top, then it transitions gently floral and a little amber. Has performed nicely in warm and hot temperatures. It is pretty, sweet and fun! Gabrielle Essence - Chanel Released in 2019 Currently around $110 US 50ml Lovely fragrance t...
