Welcome...

I will talk about anything and everything here. You'll probably realize though pretty quickly that I'm somewhat obsessed with cooking and entertaining...but I do have other interests.

Let's Talk about Perfume

I’m a classic girl…Chanel all the way.  Chanel #5 for evening events in the spring, and summer.
For the colder months, I prefer Coco.  And for days in between, I like Coco Mademoiselle, Chance, and Allure.  While Chanel #5 was iconic for my mother's generation, I think Coco is truly a scent for my generation.

Not to be forgotten are the Chanel men's fragrances...I'm a huge fan of Antaeus.  It's an oldie but a goodie...if you catch my drift!
I’m a Vera Wang fan too.  Many designers make the leap to perfume production but not many excel.  That said, I don’t agree that all her fragrances are top notch…some are for the money only (same goes for my VW mattress).  Sheer Veil, Truly Pink, and Princess are my fave VW scents.  I also have Rock Princess and Glam Princess and while they’re nice, I’d hardly classify them as her best work.  I don't have her signature frangrance, Vera Wang, nor have I tried her new one, Preppy Princess.


And out there in the cold…for days when neither Chanel nor Vera will do, I have Calvin Klein.  His One fragrance will always be a great summer go-to for me.  I have also Obsession and Obsession Night.  Both okay fragrances but neither ones I wear that often.  I do however wear Eternity more than I thought I would.

And on those days when a more natural scent is what I want, I turn to The Body Shop’s Cassis Rose…perfect and pink.
