Favorite Things: Perfume

 



With Valentine's Day coming, I felt like sharing 3 of my favorite perfumes, an honorable mention, and one for the little girls in your life.  They make excellent, romantic gifts for the fragrance-loving femmes in your life!

Coming in at #3 is English Laundry No 7 (for her).  This is a scent that is both classic and modern.  It's great as an every day wear, and for special occasions.


My #2 is Estee Lauder Pleasures.  This was my first "big girl" perfume, a step away from drug store brands into the world of perfume counters.  It is oh so feminine!




My #1 was Marilyn Monroe's #1, Chanel #5!  I feel sophisticated wearing this perfume.  It's an instant pick-me-up and self-esteem booster.



My Honorable Mention is a budget-friendly fragrance from Yardley of London.  Their lily of the valley scent is a beautiful, feminine, pleasantly simple fragrance that feels young and fresh, innocent and sweet to wear.



For the little girls in your life just starting on the path to exploring their own toilette, I recommend Love's Baby Soft.  This was my very first perfume as a little girl.  It's an adorable mix of spritzing on some perfume like mommy or grandmum while holding onto the precious powder scent of their baby years (with just a hint of bigger girl undertones).


What are your favorite perfumes?

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
