Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche...Aroma Therepy


a·ro·ma·ther·a·py

[uh-roh-muh-ther-uh-pee] noun 'The use of fragrances to affect or alter a person's mood or behavior. '  

      OK now that we have the definition of what aromatherapy is, I must express how certain cents aid in my quest of relaxation. With school, the kids, work (and all the projects I'm working on that will eventually put me in a place where a 9 to 5 will no longer be a necessity),  I have to find solace where I can. I have found a little piece of heaven in a 3.4 oz. bottle of Chance Eau Fraiche by Chanel. It's something about a fresh scent that will get me through the day. I find that I always choose a fresh scent when choosing almost everything from detergents to candles. This scent (Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche) outlasts all of my other favs...there is no comparison. I wonder how Chanel Chance E F competes with Chanel Mademoiselle or even the pleasant scent of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre...the next items on my list! 
     
     Some may say that these scents as well as many others I prefer are all floral and a bit redundant.  A sales woman told me I should try deeper, darker scents in order to mix it up and because of the weather changing. There were great brands she gladly sprayed, while bent on the idea that I would conform to the sandalwood darkened world of fragrances. Strangely, the deeper the sents were the more I was turned off. They reminded me of  fragrances someone's great grandmother would wear. (No offense to all the lovely great grandmothers out there <3) Then there were some that were just depressing. There is never a reason to go around town wearing a fragrance that smells like Peppe' Le Pew created it! That would not be theraputic for me...not by a long shot! I am sticking to what makes me smile...every time I inhale.

It's That Time of Year Again...Time for gift giving & recieving

When I saw this gift set I instantly knew who's stocking to stuff it in! I don't believe in waiting until the last minute to get my shopping done...it would be too stressful on the pockets. I had to show you guys the contents of this cute little Chanel Lip Gloss set, adorable.  For the obvious reasons I had to get a set for my stocking as well.  (No more 'Pookie' lips on this face sugaz ^_~.) And yes, I am seriously buying myself Christmas presents! Don't laugh. I know the other person that I bought this gift for as well, will be very pleased.

Lip Gloss...a girl's must have accessory! Chanel Glaze

There are some items that are a must have. You know, the kind of items that are as essential as water, and if ever unattainable, the effects would be devastating. I'm talking about lip gloss ladies. Have you ever found yourself in desperate need of lip moisture only to find out that you've lost or left your lip gloss home. It happened to me just the other day. I went most of my day with lips that resembled 'Pookies' (From New Jack City). Google Pookie, played by Chris Rock if your not familiar with this classic. I frantically searched Macy's for a lip gloss that would end my humiliation, but I couldn't just settle for any lip gloss, it had to be something that could soothe the pain caused by all the constant licking I had found myself doing in an attempt to solve this chapped discomfort. I came across Chanel's Glossimer Glaze 03. Ok, I'd like to think of myself as being as frugal as the next woman (my husband would suggest otherwise) but after  sampling this gloss...I was hooked! It was smooth, creamy, and it lasts. I didn't need to reapply every 10 min. This was great. It costs $28 but I think it is worth it. I keep 1 in my purse & 1 in my locker just in case...I refuse to look like Pookie's
baby sister ever again!
