Smelling Good in the Neighborhood

 
I love perfumes. It’s another one of the surprises about me. One of the great things about perfume is that you can match it to your mood. Are you feeling frilly and feminine? How about something delicate or flowery? Having a sporty day? Try a unisex scent. 
 
Auric Blends is a fantastic boutique perfume company. With more than 40 different and unique scents, they have a little something for everyone. Even better, their scents come in a variety of styles. Prefer an atomizer spray? They have that. Rather have a perfume roll on that you can take everywhere? They’ve got you covered. Like your scent in a solid form? Well, Auric Blends even has a great perfume balm. 

Getting Ready for Salad Days

Astor Salad Bowl in Magenta

 

I have professed my love of salad before, and I have been on the lookout for  a nice salad bowl and server set.  I don’t care so much when I’m by myself.  Heck, I’ll eat it out of the mixing bowl.  But if I’m making a killer salad for dinner and have company, I do like to have a nice bowl to serve it in.

This Astor bowl from Core Bamboo really fills the bill.  It’s big enough for a crowd, but not so big that I would have a lot of waste or leftovers.  I’m a subscriber to the “fill it to the top” school of thought.  It has a nice warm bamboo inner bowl, and the outside is finished off in a smooth, bright pink laminate.  I like bright colors, and although I have been trying to break away from pink, it just seems to keep finding me!

How Was Your Day has partnered with Happy Tails Spa to give away a bottle of Bubbles N Beads Shampoo and Conditioner and a bottle of Ruff to Smooth Leave In Detangler.

Facial Magic is an isometric toning program. What’s that mean? It’s basically like resistance training for your face. Pretty cool, huh? It’s a 9 week program that progresses as you get used to it. You learn 18 different exercises that target 15 different areas of the face and neck.
