I know it has been a while, but I must confess: I have had a case of the "Winter Blues." Here in North America, it is cold in most places; there is cloud cover virtually everyday. It makes it very difficult to have the gusto needed to get through ones daily routines. I have come up with a couple of things that have helped me some and perhaps they can help you too.

Try aromatherapy. I don't mean simply getting special oils to burn or candles. I'm talking about going out and getting a great fragrance that reminds you of Spring and Summer; fun and frolick. Escada has some great fragances that are tropical and fruity. I think any white floral or oriental/woody fragrance is a great pick me up. The same can be said for the lotion as well. I nice perfumed lotion with a little bit of sparkle can lift anyones spirits.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  As we look forward to New Year, we are all planning wonderful evenings with beautiful gowns and nice make-up, but what do we wear as a scent?  Such a question is easy to answer, go with what you know. Personally, I would stay away from "celebrity" scents as they often smell cheap are an imitation of something that is already out there. If you can afford to splurge look to Chopard or Lavin or Dior. I love scents that are exotic and fruity; heady and oriental. To me, this is the smell of glamour and magic.

The most fun I can have is sampling different scents. Have fun and try something new in the New Year.
