Bath & Body Works Twilight Woods ... MY FAVORITE!

My mom started wearing this fragrance first, and it smelled good on her...

but for SOME reason, when I WORE it, it smelled even BETTER!

I mean, different bodies, & body heats have different chemical reactions with the notes of perfumes...

Twilight Woods is my "smell good" OBSESSION right now....it's sweet, musky & soft at the same time

Inspired by a romantic walk in enchanted woods 

(I don't think the woods I've walked in smell THIS damn good!)

Fragrance Top Notes: Juicy Berry, Sparkling Mandarin, hint of Coconut

Fragrance Mid Notes: Creamy Frangipani, Soft Mimosa, Wet Honeysuckle, Wild Freesia, Apricot Nectar

Fragrance Base Notes: Oud Wood, Skin Musk Captive, Vanilla Milk, Warm Woods

no WONDER i love it SO MUCH!

All I Want For Christmas...

I think it'll be a GREAT workout and I can get my dance moves together for the club...LMAO!

but FIRST I gotta get the Wii at my PARENT'S house to MY house

I swear, I can't keep a phone for more than 2 years...I mean, I can't help it

I love my Blackberry Storm 2, BUT phones catch my eye like a new pair of shoes

no one loves a sweet smelling scent more than I do....

I also want to get ANOTHER bottle of D&G The One, my ex got that for me last Christmas

and I am in LOVE with it, still have a good bit left.  I MIGHT just go ahead make that a present to myself.

SEE?! That's not a lot to want...RIGHT?!

THE PHONE is my BIGGEST want, and I think I'll just hit up my dad for that =)

my girl, Ms. Beyonce, looking classy as EVER at the NYC debut of her Heat fragrance...

LOVE how flirty it is, and the one-shoulder....AWESOME!

Beyonce's got that "Heat"

MY GIRL...she's EVERYWHERE, like REALLY!

her new fragrance "HEAT" is inspired by what she does best, PERFORM!

“A lot of my performances have had fire involved, so we thought ‘Heat,’" she told WWD.

And the red & gold bottle? two of Beyonce's FAVE colors...

The fragrance will premiere in January with sweet notes, what I like, of red vanilla, blush peach, magnolia, & orchid....YUMMY huh?

SEXY LIKE "B"....YES MA'AM!

Christmas Came Early!

If you all didn't know, I went to Baton Rouge this past weekend AGAIN (my cousin Tiffany graduated from Grambling State University) with my family, and we had an AWESOME time!  Oh & BY THE WAY...."HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!!" WE WHOOPED UP ON THOSE SAINTS IN THEIR OWN SUPERDOME....now...."WHO DAT?!" *back to my regularly scheduled program*

So, I saw my boo, he met the fam and EVERYTHING went SO well, they LOVED him & we all watched the game together.  He's a SAINTS fan, so we were "enemies" for a while, LoL! Well we decided to exchange gifts early, since we weren't going to see each other for Christmas.  Y'all know I give hints on my blog....I like to talk about what I like.  Well, my baby took notes, he's SO GOOD!

my DOLCE & GABBANA "THE ONE"!

And THEN when I got home form being on the road for 6 hours, I walked through the door and....TA DA!

SWEETS from MY SWEET...He even slipped up & told me that he had something else coming for me in the mail, & he STILL surprised me, I'M SO GULLIBLE, LoL!

I Don't Want My 2 Front Teeth For Christmas...

I WANT ...... 

A NEW LAPTOP!

A MacBook...and NOT because EVERYONE & they mamma has one, but because I need a new computer!  I would PREFER this, BUT I'll take ANY new laptop really.  I need to upgrade, and I want to be able to do some SERIOUS, FUN, COOL, DIFFERENT things with my pictures & my blog....and I heard the MacBook can do EVERYTHING!

A NEW PHONE!

I have the Pink Blackberry Curve now, I like it, it does what I need it to do (text, call, Twitter, pictures) but I need MORE...I need an UPGRADE!  The longest I've kept a phone I think was 1 year & 9 months, that was my Samsung Blackjack...I loved that phone, real nice, then I got the FREE Pink Blackberry when it was first introduced...I'm bored now, LoL! So I've been looking at the Blackberry Storm 2 & the Droid by Motorola....what do y'all think? Which one is better? What have you heard?

PERFUME. LOVE PERFUME.

THIS is my favorite smell at the moment....DOLCE & GABBANA THE ONE!  I fell in love at first smell.  I was out of town, in New Orleans for Bayou Classic as a matter of fact, and my cousin brought it with her.  I just remember it being really sweet (vanilla) & feminine, yet strong enough to make a statement...

I HAVE TO HAVE IT!

PAJAMAS!

Comfortable, cute, casual, colorful....what's NOT to love?!

Specifically Victoria's Secret, they have the BEST & CUTEST pajamas to just lay around in.

I LIKE Victoria's Secret, so that's what I want! =p

Yeah, that's about it...the MacBook, I don't HAVE to have now, but if that were to show up under my "tree" on Christmas Day, I WOULD DIE!  I'm doing fine for now with my trusty Toshiba, it does what I need it to do, when I need it to do it.  This Christmas SHOULD BE great, I mean I'll be with family, friends, & it'll be LOTS Of GREAT food, and opening the presents as a HUGE family, on both sides, is the BEST!  OF COURSE I will be reporting back AFTER the holidays to let y'all know what all I DID get, and whatever it is, I will be SO grateful, EVERYONE be grateful for what you have & what you get.  

HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY LOVES!

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

'tis true...

Usher's "V.I.P." cologne commercial

he's makin' a HUGE comeback people...WATCH OUT!

very FRUITY...Yummy!

I'm sure y'alll know about DKNY's BE DELICIOUS perfume, you know, looks like a green apple?!
Oh and DKNY's RED DELICIOUS as well right?!
Well NOW they've come out with the LIMITED EDITION PINK DECO ART perfume...very nice right?
It's based around a clean and fruity note of apple, balanced by notes of rose, cucumber, orchid, and white lily. The scent closes on soft, sensual base notes of sandalwood and amber.
All those words make me think of what I like...SWEET!

SWEET gift for a SWEET mom!

I ALWAYS have a hard time picking out gifts for my mom...I get sick of giving her gift cards, or clothes, or a perfume (she has enough of that, LoL!)! I want to give something that's different, cute, creative, so I found out about CAKE, CAKE BEAUTY to be exact, today from an email that I get daily, I forgot exactly who it was though.  The first thing that came to mind was of course CAKE, brownies, sweet things like sugar, vanilla, & honey, so I HAD to see what it was all about.  Seeing as though I'm looking for gifts, I figured WHY NOT look for gift sets? Easy & who wouldn't like that? I found this...

this is their "I think you're Winter Wonderful" set...look how pretty! I love the look & the color of it! 

it comes with Desserted Island Supreme Mouse...like Tahitian vanilla & fresh coconut

Milk Made Soothing Hand & Cuticle buffer...like a whipped vanilla milkshake

& Cake Kiss Pink berry Lip Butter...like red berries & a twist of vanilla

I mean REALLY?! Who wouldn't want to smell this, or taste this on their lips ALL DAY?! I think my mom would like it...y'all think so?!

Zoe Kravitz is a PRINCESS

Y'ALL! I got this about a year or two ago as a birthday present....it smells SO GOOD!

I'm a fan of sweet, girly smells, and if that's what you like as well, THIS IS FOR YOU!

SIDE NOTE: she looks GORGEOUS, BUT I'm not feelin' that red wig though, WTF?!

thanks

ALL I Want for Christmas (Wink, Wink)

Collector's Edition Fragrance Sampler For Her @ Sephora

i LOVE to smell good y'all! I mean it's just something about when you get a whiff of what you sprayed on that morning before you left the house, or before that night out on the town, it just smells GOOD!  And I KNOW men LOVE a woman that smells good...that's why I always spray one, quick spray on the back of my neck, so when I'm walkin' (in the club, is where I'm thinkin') and that FINE A** man is behind you, he'll get that quick smell of that "smell good" you have on and just want you like right there..perfume, to me, is an aphrodisiac ; )

So, back to this WONDERFUL set, LoL! it includes:

Juicy Couture

Ralph Lauren Romance

Marc Jacobs Daisy

Dior Addict Shine

Givenchy Very Irresistible Givenchy

Stella McCartney Stella

DKNY Be Delicious

All of them just so SWEET & IRRESISTIBLE! *I WANT THIS*

VIP smelling man!

“I consider fragrance to be one of the most important tools of engagement for seduction. With Usher VIP I created a gentlemen’s scent, which would also appeal to women,” said Usher. “Women tell me they love the scent of a man and I wanted to create that sense of confidence and style that women desire. VIP is a state of mind which is about what you do with that confidence and how you make an impact in the lives of those around you.”

The cologne opens on top notes of tangerine, bergamot, kumquat and nutmeg; its middle notes are violet leaf, lotus flower and saffron; base notes are vetiver, oakmoss and suede.  The bottle is meant to replicate the feel of a Cognac bottle and keeps the trademark Usher spinning ring. 

Due out in 2010 along with his anticipated album...

J. Lo's Motherly Scent

Mother FIRST, wife, actress, & singer Jennifer Lopez is back on the scene with her newest ad campaign, "My Glow" campaign, for her new cozy, floral fragrance, J.Lo My Glow. She told People magazine...

“The inspiration for the fragrance My Glow came from where I am right now, a place of happiness and fulfillment at this intimate stage in my life,"

“There is a special glow that women get when they’re pregnant and when they are falling in love with their babies. I wanted My Glow to be for all women to be able to connect with this intimacy and love.”

What's that smell?!

it's the lovely Ms. Kim Kardashian! Now, I LOVE perfume, sweet smells are my FAVE! Her fragrance will have crisp top notes, a heart of jasmine, tuberose and gardenia, and a drydown of tonka bean, jacaranda wood and sandalwood. I don't know what all of that will smell like TOGETHER, but it looks like it'll be good, LoL! She told Hollyscoop "I wanted something rich and creamy and sexy, but still youthful." I think I might like it! The self-titled perfume, Kim Kardashian will be available @ Sephora stores next Spring, and available in department stores around Mother's Day...awww, how thoughtful, that would be a GREAT gift!
