Underwear remover in a bottle!
Seriously, this is a very sexy scent. It's very warm and dreamy, almost peppered. The longer I own it, the more it becomes a "going out" perfume, one that I'll not likely wear to work during the day. I feel sophisticated and ready to take on the night while wearing this.
The bottle is beautiful, light purple fading into dark and finally black. A laser design of flirty flowers wraps around the sleek bottle.

A sweet, delicious scent, like a flower dipped in cake batter and covered with sprinkles!
I had smelled this perfume before in various sample forms: a card in the mail, magazine inserts, etc. Maybe it was the chill in the air or just the mood I was in, but I caught a whiff of it in my Lucky magazine yesterday and just had to have it.
It's a yummy scent, like some glorious pastry I'll never eat. Guys really go for things that smell like baked goods, so I'm hoping to turn some heads with this one. While this doesn't overwhelm you with one note, like vanilla, nutmeg, lemon, or cocoa, there is a certain sweet undertone that can't be denied. Yet, there is a sophistication about it.
Around the spray nozzle, as the "cap" is a golden ring and crown with purple studs. It adds to that princess-y feeling as you put it on.
The only negative in my experience is the bottle. It's a little oddly shaped and could tip over easily.
Pricing is rather general for this caliber perfume. Lots of stores seem to be sold out of the smallest, 1.0 oz bottle. The 1.7 oz. bottle is around 50 dollars.
Spray on, princesses!

I found (and shopped) etsy.com through a link in the Deals section here on ChickAdvisor. SUCH cute stuff is on the site, everything is unique and for the most part VERY affordable. I lack a large selection of vintage stores in my area, so this is a great alternative for me. It seems like individual sellers can list their goods so you will find things you would never see in a store down the street. There is SO much variety; from jewelry, accessories, clothing, homegoods, and more. I could browse this site all day, thousands of items are listed. Unique items, I love it. -

I'm loving this mascara! A close rival, the Benefit BadGal Lash Mascara isn't quite a grown up as the Dior Show mascara. I believe I did a bit of crying shortly after my first application, but I didn't have smeared brown cheeks when I looked in the mirror. There was minimal damage control under the eye as to be expected, but overall I was very pleased with how Dior Show handled my meltdown.
When I'm applying it, I feel like I'm doing something that's going to last all day and make me look super chic into the night. My whole face changes when I put this mascara on. I can't say that about any of the others I've used. That's powerful.

For young women who wear plus size clothing, it can be tasking to find fashionable threads. I got a classic wool pea coat from Lane Bryant on sale late last winter for 50.00US. As the chill sets in for this winter, I am realizing how great of a buy it was! As Gwen Stefani would say "it compliments my shape." :)
This coat has a great cut for coke bottle figures, cute buttons (and LB clothing always comes with spares), and the grey wool is classic. Lane Bryant seems to have these pea coats as winter staples every year, so if you're considering getting one for your shapely figure, go for it! Splurge on one now if it's already cold, or wait until it goes on sale or you have a coupon if you'd rather be more thrifty.

Orient Garden Chinese Restaurant
THE BEST chinese food in the RTP area!! There are two locations, Durham and Cary. I love the General Tso's, or if I'm not into the heat that day, the Sesame Chicken. It's great value for the money, and I can't find better egg drop soup around.
