Scents and Scents-ability

-


Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all!

Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload?

Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl.

But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means...

BRING ON THE PERFUME!!

The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgier...kinda just rolls off your tongue don't it?

Anyway, I don't know where to begin or what to choose, so I am turning to you...my cyber friends...to guide me on this SCENT-sational journey.

What's your favorite kind of perfume?

What scent makes you feel schmexy, irresistible, saucy, flirty, feminine, pretty, powerful, at one with nature, or just plain amazing?

Please share your favorites in the comment section...

My fellow colleagues thank you--I'm sure they're getting tired of my sorry old Oscar de la Renta and my Alfred Sung.

My current fave is Juicy Couture's "Viva La Juicy" It's kind of light and fruity smelling. Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger is another fave, kind of citrusy. And one of my all-time faves is Very Irresistable, by Givenchy. ~M~

Dolce and Gabbana "Light Blue" is my very favorite. I also like "Princess" by Vera Wang, and "Coco Mademoiselle" by Chanel.

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Life is a Musical...

At least, that's how my daughter lives it. Somedays I'm not sure if I have Annie, Sharpay, Sophie or one of the 2 million Von Trap children living in my home. Each day I wonder which of these musical characters will sit down at my breakfast table Instead of a gentle hug, Kiki feels it's necessary to fly across the room with arms stretched out wide, with a smile on her face and a song in her heart (it'd be perfect if there was wind for her hair and a beach in the background...but you can't have it all) into my arms and squeeze, squeeze, squeeeeze the living day lights out of me. No matter that I've just returned from a momentary trip to the bathroom and not a week long trip to Jamaica (like my friends just did! Lucky!), I still need to receive a hug that says 'I missed you. I love you. You are my whole world.' Of course I need that.... Instead of walking from kitchen to family room, Kiki needs to piroette, jette and chasse (not sure of the spelling but th
