I Like, Very Much!

I'm loving the Bond No 9 Signature Frangrance for Fall.

Altoids ~ Creme De Menthe

These "Curiously Strong Mints" are the best.

I keep them in the office, in my bag and in night table!

Creme De Menthe, Altoids 1.76-Ounce Tins

Laura Mercier ~ Fresh Fig Soufflé Body Crème

I wear this fabulous body creme on the days my signature "Eau de Parfum" is a little too much!

This silky smooth crème, with its lightly whipped feel and delicious Fresh Fig scent, enriches the skin with much-deserved Vitamin A, C and E derivatives. For skin that deserves the ultimate luxury, indulge in this luscious Body Crème.

I was in Macy's and put a little on my hands. The fragrance is wonderful. I was stopped 3 times!

Laura Mercier ~ Fresh Fig Soufflé Body Crème {12oz} $55.00

If I could get this Bag I would stop buying Bags!

The Chanel Kelly Bag. We won't discuss price.

L'Occitane en Provence ~ Verveine {Verbena}

THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!

I use the Shea Butter Verbena Body Cream EVERYDAY! Trust me, my skin is dry and I have sampled everything at all price points. This is the best because it works, it feels good and it smells good!!!! I actually close my eyes and smile when I'm using this. Ok, there are other products the may work, [everything works when the humidity is 80%] for less. L'Occitane is like a Spa in my powder room every morning. Let's face it we all can use that. L'Occitane can also be found in Sephora. The L'Occitane stores and the website have sales regularly.
