Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Triple Moisture Body Cream Review & Pictures

Bath & Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Triple Moisture Body CreamSweet-smelling food scents are my favorite. I’m not particularly a girly girl, but the fragrances I find myself drawn to the most are caramel vanillas. There’s just something so comforting and cozy about them.

Actually, I played the field – got almost everything from the Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Collection! Went a little crazy, but hey, this scent’s only around once a year during the holidays. Gotta stock up while you still can, right? Continue reading

Slatkin & Co. Leaves Candle Review & Pictures

Slatkin & Co. Leaves Scented CandleI’m arriving fashionably late to the scented candle party. Now I’m obsessed and am constantly burning one when I get home and sometimes at work. The right fragrance can put me at ease even when I’m terribly stressed out.

That wasn’t the case with the Slatkin & Co. Leaves Candle. Come on, Baby, light my fire!

It has a cozy fall fragrance punctuated with apple, cinnamon, and cider that I just can’t get enough of. I’ve already purchased back-ups of this seasonal scented candle because I don’t want to ever run out of it. Come read my Bath & Body Works Leaves Candle review to find out more! Continue reading

It lets you try out a fragrance without the commitment. What do I mean by that? You get to enjoy the delectable scent, but because it’s light, it’ll gradually wear away and won’t be the hit-you-in-your-face type of scent commitment.

I literally bring this spray with me almost everywhere for a quick touch-up. Let me tell you more about the Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Fragrance Mist, and check out photos of the stylish spray bottle. Continue reading
