Mango Skin, a more mature fruity fragrance
Getting the sample of Mango Skin, by Vilhelm Parfumerie, was exciting. I had seen the bold yellow designs from the house before and really wanted to know what their stuff smelled like. This was my chance. It smelled like mango (makes sense), but then there was something a bit bitter (was that the interpretation of…

Reaching a turning point in these reflections
With the string of reflections I’ve posted and those that are still unpublished, I have noticed a trend: Boy, do I need work on self-confidence.

New mantra: Then let ’em
As I try to change my habits and stop thinking so much about what others think, I’ve taken on a new saying to myself: Then let ‘em This is not so much a blog post as it is my personal encouragement. I can all to easily dissect my plans and try to figure out how…

So, did you know that Brad Pitt has a skincare line?
In an era where it seems a celebrity starts a skincare or beauty line every 20 seconds, it makes sense that we now have one from the man who so strongly held the title of Sexiest Man Alive. (He probably still holds on to that title in the hearts of many of his fans.) Yes,…
