Yankee Candle Crisp Morning Air





The crisp scent of Autumn layering with scents of eucalyptus and mint along pear. It reminds me of walking down a leaf covered street scented of earthy and sweet. A fun scent for the fall and winter season.

BBW Sweater Weather Candle







Ah, the Fall, my most favorite season -- the season of cozy sweaters, warming hot chocolate, soul replenishing fireplaces surrounded by family and the beginning of the eating season. Right around middle of Summer, I always have an ache for Fall and while I can't control the season, I can reach for this lovely Fall inspired candle. It has scents of sage, Juniper Berry, Eucalyptus and wood. And all the memories of family, fun and eating flood my sense.

Lisa Hoffman Beauty Fine Fragrance Jewelry - French Clary Sage









The blonde wood bracelet is adored with gold beads with gold filigree charm. The gold plated charms houses a chamber where you can put fragrance balls. The stretchy bracelet had scents of French Sage, Yellow Freesia, Cotton and Linen. When the scent is pleasant and the bracelet is beautiful, I found this bracelet to be utter garbage. I couldn't open the clasp and the cheap bracelet broke even before I got a chance to wear it. Definitely cheaply made and not worth it.

Premium Barbary Soap - Badlands









The organic soap is composed of certified organic oils of sunflower, safflower, coconut and palm. It is scented with essential oils of sage, lavadin, lemongrass, spearmint with calendula petals and rosemary extracts (these were not certified organic). The soap arrived in a plastic baggie with a heavy duty cardboard box covering a portion of it. Personally, I would have prefer my soap to be shrink wrapped for hygiene reasons. The bar is a decent size, a bit smaller than a L'Occitane size bar and a Irish Spring bar. A tad thicker in width but smaller in length than Jergen's soap. The soap is fragrant and somewhat appealing. I can't figure out why I am not exactly in love with the scent . My first using of the bar, I found it hard to rub against my skin and felt a bit waxy. The second use and afterwards, the soap glided against my skin more easily without a waxy feeling. The soap didn't offer much of a lather nor left my skin moisturized. With a $15 price tag, I at least expected it to scent my skin a bit. Sadly, I didn't smell any of the essential oils on me. It's an okay soap but I don't think the price tag is justified.

Bliss Lemon & Sage Soapy Suds Body Wash + Bubbling Bath



I bought this travel size version for one my weekend trips and was so glad I did. The scent was very lemony but it was quite sophisticated and didn’t smell like floor cleaner. I am guessing that because of hints of sage blended in. I also like how you can use it as a body wash or as a bubble bath. I have only used it as a body wash and I absolutely in love with it. The body wash gives a generous lather and leaves my skin feeling super soft and smooth while leaving my skin delicately scented. My only qualm is the bottle was a bit hard and when I used both hands, nothing was coming out but when I used one hand the product came out more freely. I am hoping they did that intentionally so you don’t squeeze out too much product at once. I do have a really bad habit of using a lot of product for everything. When they say use a dime size, I use a quarter size.
