Perfume Review - Burberry Body

Hi again!

Here's a post to start your weekend off with. Maybe inspire a little trip to the mall. ;)

Along with purses, shoes and nail polish I'm also obsessed with perfume. Growing up I'd watch my mom spritz herself with her favorite scent everyDAY. It was part of her getting ready ritual so as a young lady I followed her footsteps. My favorites have definitely changed throughout the years. My current fave? Taylor Swft's Enchanted.

Today I decided to review Burberry's new perfume, Body. I first heard about this fragrance from Barbara from ThePersianbabe on You Tube. She did a review on a few new Burberry products on her channel with her mom. Sweetest mom collaberation I've seen on You Tube yet. She said so many wonderful things about the perfume I had to check it out for myself.

You might remember that my Mom's birthday was a little over a week ago? Well my boytoy and I went to Macy's to find her a birthday present. I was on the hunt for a perfume. Something different. Something she didn't already have. I smelled the Light Blue Dolce & Gabana but I knew she had this one previously and I thought this would be a good time to help her branch out to something new. Just as I turned away from the Dolce & Gabana counter there it was. Burberry Body. In all its glory. The bottle it beautiful.

The bottle is tall and sophisticated with touches of a rose gold. If you're a sucker for packaging check it OUT! I mean come on its so elegant and beautiful, what's not to love?

The sophistication and elegance does not stop at the packaging. The scent is very much the same. It is definitely a warm scent with hints of musk and floral. In case my descriptions weren't good enough I've decided to include the notes. The top notes include freesia, green absinthe, and peach. The middle notes are made of rose and iris. Sandalwood, cashmerean, musk, amber and vanilla make up the base notes.

I decided the scent was a little too mature for me. I like more fun and fruity scents. So I purchased Body for my mom for her birthday. She FELL IN LOVE. With the bottle. With the scent. With all of it. The perfume can definitely be a little pricey depending on what you normally spend. The full size Eau de Parfum (2.8oz) runs for $95 at Macy's. When I made my purchase they had a special running where you received a small size of the Body Milk.

Definitely give this perfume a sniff next time your at the Burberry counter. Totally worth it.

Thanks for reading!

Thursday Things

Hi Everyone! Hope your weeks going great!

1. I'm recovering from a Cold/Sore Throat. I'm still coughing up my lungs today and I sound like a boy going through puberty. / :

2. The weather has been lovely in Northern California the past couple of days so today I decided to show off some bare leg. I think I need to run to CVS tonight and buy some Jergens Natural Glow and give these chicken legs some color!

3. Like I said in my last post. I'm obsessed with nail polish. I bought this color last night. It's supposed to be fast drying and only cost $1.99 at CVS. Can't wait to try it!

4. Being a blogger is not as easy as it looks. I've been working on a few posts but somethings take a little while to get the hang of so let's just say I'm working on it.

5. I've done some shopping recently. All the Spring items seem to be out. So there's definitely some colorful brights in my future.

6. Speaking of Spring... wedges seem to really be in this time of year. I only have one pair. Maybe I should fix that! ; )

7. I got a Kindle Fire for Christmas last year and it's really the best little thing any could invest in. In my opinion. I use my Kindle at least once a day. I just started reading part three of the Hunger Games and its really taking me awhile to get through it. Not as easy to read as the first two. I'll tell how I feel about it next week.

8. I'm baking tonight. So maybe there will be a post about this later.

9. I'm  R E A L L Y excited! ...

10. My sister is coming for a visit! So next week Thursday Things may not be up. I'll be too busy spending some QT with the fam.

Untill next time my friends! : )

Hi There! Nice to meet ya! :D [Thursday Things]

Hi! I'm Lisa! This is my first blog, so please bare with me till I get the hang of this! I figured my first blog post would be a Thursday Things! Hopefully my first blog post and first Thursday Things will give you an idea of the type of blogger I am or intend on being!

1. I'm OBSESSED with purchasing nail polish! I must own about 50 bottles by now. Well after I found this store near my home where they sell all name brand nail polishes (Essie, OPI, ZOYA, China Glaze etc.) at a discounted price my collection as begun growing rapidly! Here's my current nail color fave:

OPI - Pink Friday

2. My boytoy and I like to keep things low key for Valentine's Day. This year he made me a tasty salmon dinner and Ghiradelli Chocolate Covered Strawberries. I couldn't have just one! After dinner we went out for a movie showing of The Vow!

3. This past weekend I was on a hunt for a specific item which I thought I was just creating in my head. BUT I wasn't imagining things, when I found it on Amazon on Monday I was ecstatic! It's currently on it's way to me! I'll share this secret item in another blog post! Coming soon! ;D

4. I'm currently on a hunt for a new Mascara. I used to be in love with LOreal Volumnous Mascara. It was affordable and gave the illusion of full long lashes. Recently, all the mascaras I've purchased have turned out to be really clumpy within a matter of days of me opening the masacara. I've purchased maybe 3 or 4 in the past month and every one doesn't fail me. Nothing but clumpyness. Pleeeeease leave your suggestions in the comments below!

5. I try not to get hooked on too many TV shows but how cute is Hart of Dixie!? Rachel Bilson has an incredible laid back style and her character on the show is amazing. If you haven't seen it head over to Hulu now! Well after you read my blog of course!

6. Speaking of HOOKED! Has anyone read The Hunger Game series!? Oh My Gosh! I just finished Catching Fire (the 2nd book)! I'm literally counting down the days till the movie comes to theatres. 35 days...

7. Last night I went to the mall to find a last minute Birthday present for my mom. Today is her Birthday! Happy Birthday Mom! :D I bought her the new Burberry Body perfume. She loved it.

8. I also snagged a little something for myself! I bought a teenie tiny bright yellow messenger bag at Old Navy for $10! I've had my eye on this bag for a few weeks but couldn't get myself to pay the full price for it. Unfortunately it still sells online for $15. But this bag will be a perfect pop of color to any outfit.

 9. Last weekend I went up to the city (San Francisco, yeh I'm a bay area baby) with my boyfriend. We stopped at the arts & crafts booths they usually have every weekend right off the embarcadero and I found myself a love knot ring! It reminded me so much of the ring Laura from buy now, blog later posted about a few days ago. The gentlemen selling the rings was so kind and after hearing a little bit of history, I had to buy one. I've been wearing it every day since.

10. Well I guess this concludes my first post. Hope you enjoyed reading!

Talk to you all soon!
