Ahh.. the sweet smell of... yuck.. what IS that??!

I'm still not entirely sure how this happened, but by some chance I was invited by Bath and Body works to test out four new scents they are thinking about carrying. I was pretty excited when my box arrived holding these 4 vials! I was less excited when I saw the 40 page diary that I had to fill out everyday.

We weren't supposed to smell them before wearing them so I had no clue what each of them was like.

The first day I sniffed bottle #1 and thought it smelled promising. Upon spraying it on myself I suddenly realized that I smelled like a musty old house that someone had died in and never been found.

Yummy.

Bottle #2 I had the stupidity to spray right before a lesson. I then had to apologize to my student, her Mom and sisters for how horrible I smelled. When you literally gag upon smelling yourself it is NOT a good sign.

Disgusting.

I wasn't holding out much hope for Bottle #3 and #4 and thankfully grew enough brains to test them when I wasn't expecting a student in the near future. Thankfully both of them actually smelled really good! Like, REALLY GOOD. I would buy both of them in the store and actually asked the researchers to let me know when they were sold and under what name. I am still wearing both of them on a daily basis. I will be sad when they are empty.

January Recap

Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window. BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it. I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea

It's me, Charity
