PR unboxing + first impressions 👀✨

Huge thank you to @orienticaperfumes for sending over these fragrances to celebrate their launch in Ulta 🤍 I finally got a chance to test both scents and I definitely have favorites already 😭

One is giving soft, powdery, clean luxury energy… and the other is warm, creamy, feminine, and made for layering season.

If you love:
✨ musky fragrances
✨ cozy amber notes
✨ coconut milk + soft floral blends
✨ perfumes that smell WAY more expensive than they are…

…you’re going to want to hear this review before blind buying 👏🏾

Have you tried Orientica yet? Which scent should I test next? 👀

I love when @oseamalibu has a sale because they make it so easy for us to save.

Here’s another bundle specifically targeting anti aging for your face and your full body.

Osea’s bio-retinol is a great alternative to Retinol providing the same anti aging benefits without being too harsh.

With their bio retinol your e still going to experience smooth skin, fine lines will say find me and you will have a natural glow.

I use it every other night on my wind down routine and I love the way it makes my skin feel and glow.

This bundle will get you across the $125 threshold you need to qualify for the full-size hyaluronic body serum that’s with $48 regular price.

I found a new perfume today from a company called Bisou Memoire.

This one is called Adriatic Sea and it’s almost giving cotton candy on the beach.

It’s 35% concentration oil and smells really nice.

I found a store front but after doing a little research I see they’re also available on Amazon and for cheaper than what I saw in store.

The notes listed are

Top: Plum, Pear, Pitchi and Mignoette
Mid: Heliotrope, Patchoili, Vanilla Orchid, Jasmine
Base: Lavender, Tonka Bean, Bitter Almond, Hazelnut, Sandalwood

I’m not sure where the beachy notes are but this def gives creamy, candied summer by the beach somewhere and I like it.

I’ll have some layering combos for it soon.

I’ve linked it down below for you to try and see how you like it.

#LTKfoodie #LTKstorytime #LTKBeauty

1've got 5 perfumes I've been reaching for that I like when I'm not feeling like putting on perfume if that makes sense.

During this time of the month, I'm not always in the mood for the loud, fruity florals that I typically reach for and these 5 perfumes help me feel comfortable while still feeling like I got it together a little bit.

If you're like me and sometimes you just want an easy reach, then today's post is for you!

#LTKselfcare #LTKstorytime #LTKBeauty

Afnan’s Lynked Forver is officially my scent of the summer.

She’s light, tropical, floral and sweet and layers beautifully with so many different tropical perfumes!

Today’s combo is coconut and pineapple focused and will have you smelling like a tropical floral goddess!

And it lasts all dang day I love it!

Here’s the links to the fragrances I could find. Happy sniffing friend!

If you love sophisticated rose fragrances with a soft luxurious vibe, Zimaya Rose of Dreams is BEAUTIFUL 🌹✨

Notes I’m picking up:
• Peach
• Bergamot
• Black Currant
• Rose
• Iris
• White Musk
• Cedarwood

It smells polished, feminine, expensive and perfect for daytime wear. Think: crisp white outfit, gold jewelry, French manicure energy 🤍

This is one of those affordable fragrances that smells far more elevated than the price tag. I linked it here before it disappears again because it keeps selling out.

Today I'm wearing Coral Fantasy from @valentino.beauty and it's likely going to be my scent of the week.

I really need to put some dents in some of my fragrances, so this week I'm going to focus on making one perfume the core scent of the week and creating layering combos around them to see if I can't do some damage by the time the week is up.

Today's layering combo features a couple of my faves from @kayali and @orenafragrances, and it smells divine.

I'm usually not a girl that likes to repeat fragrances day after day, but I'm going to learn how to enjoy it this week, lol.

So tell me, would you wear this combo, and what other combos would you suggest I try this week, since we are committing to the program, lol.

I'd love to hear your suggestions down in the comments.

Currently obsessed with Orabella’s Window2Soul Parfum ✨

This scent starts fresh and aromatic, then settles into a soft floral skin scent with jasmine, damask rose, and creamy tonka bean. It’s alcohol-free and layered with essential oils, which makes it feel so different from most fragrances in my collection.

Notes:
• Top: lemon, geranium, mint
• Middle: jasmine infusion, damask rose
• Base: tonka bean
• Aromatherapy oils: lemon, geranium, spearmint

I linked it in my LTK so you can purchase online, pick up in store, and save with @ulta 20% offer while it’s active 🤍

You already know… I grow everything 🌿

But here’s the thing: most people don’t realize that, even with a full outdoor garden, there are still seasons when certain crops just don’t thrive. In my zone, summer heat makes it tough for leafy greens, lettuces, and some of my favorites.

So instead of skipping them… I brought them inside.

I’m setting up the Gardyn Studio 2 so I can keep growing year-round, and it’s perfect, especially for those of you who always tell me, “I can’t grow anything.”

Yes, you can.

This system takes the guesswork out of it. It helps monitor your plants, keeps you on schedule, and makes growing your own food feel simple, even if you’re just getting started.

So whether you’ve got a green thumb or you think you don’t… we can grow together, and I’m going to show you how.

Comment Gardyn or head to my LTK to grab your Gardyn Studio 2 and start your indoor garden with me.

I just got Henry Rose Ripe and I’m telling you right now… this one is a MUST for spring 🌸

It’s clean, light, crisp, and slightly sweet with that fresh fruity floral vibe that just works when the weather starts warming up. Effortless, everyday, grab-and-go kind of scent.

And listen… I don’t usually do backup bottles, but this one? Already on my list. That should tell you everything.

If you’ve been looking for a new signature scent for the season, this is a really good one to try. I linked it here so you can shop it directly ✨

You can also get $10 off your first order (no code needed), which makes it the perfect time to test it out.

Not sponsored—I bought this myself and just had to share because it’s THAT good.

If you end up grabbing it, come back and tell me what you think 🤍

If you love a rose… but want something softer, fresher, and a little unexpected—this is it.

This is not your typical sharp rose.

Think:
🌸 Peachy rose (fresh off the tree, not overly juicy)
🌿 Light, airy, slightly aromatic
✨ Soft, romantic, and effortless

There’s something about the way the peach and rose blend together that just feels… feminine without trying too hard.

And the lily of the valley in this? It smooths everything out so beautifully—no harsh edges, just a clean, balanced dry down.

This is one of those fragrances you can wear:
✨ To work
✨ Running errands
✨ On a daytime date
✨ Straight into the evening

It’s giving sundress, sunshine, soft wind, and just enough to feel put together without doing too much.

If you love a fruity floral that leans elegant instead of overly sweet… you’re going to fall in love with this one 💕

Go ahead and grab it while you can 👀

Friend… I just tried Honey Oud for the first time and I get the hype now.

This one has been ALL over the internet for a reason—and honestly, I had a little FOMO 😅 but I’m glad I gave in.

It’s that perfect balance:
🍯 Sweet honey (but not heavy)
🍊 Bergamot that lifts everything
🌹 A soft floral + amber base that keeps it sexy

I was fully expecting something thick and overwhelming… especially in Texas heat—but this? It opens up beautifully.

It’s:
✨ Sultry
✨ Light
✨ Playful

This is the kind of scent you can wear running errands, going to get your nails done, or out at night.

Not your typical heavy oud… this one is easy to wear and actually fun.
If you’ve been curious—this might be your sign 👀

Here we are again for part 2 of Will I Buy The Full Bottle of These Minis?

I’ve had a good time exploring the retail designer fragrances and some of them have been great and others I can do without.

Let’s see which ones will make the cut from this round of minis.

#LTKstorytime #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

As I’m building my perfume collection I start with travel sizes and minis to ensure I only purchase what I’ll be excited about wearing and in March I went mini crazy lol.

I’ve got quite a few, so today I’m sharing some of the minis that may or may not make it to full bottle status in my collection.

Let me know if you see any that you want a full review on.

POV: You’ve lost 60+ lbs and walk into @Anthropologie like… who is SHE?!

Tried on 4 dresses and this corset moment right here almost had me in tears (the good kind).

For the first time in a long time, I feel like myself again.

Still learning my new over-40 style, but babyyy… we getting there.

Did I buy it? Not yet… I’m still wrapping my mind around these smaller sizes.

But she’s on the wishlist 👀

If you need her before I get the courage… I’ve got the link 🔗

Today affordable fragrance find is featuring Zakats Z19, which is inspired by Bond No 9 Nolita.

It’s a fresh floral that’s got a hint of fruit at the top that makes it ever so slightly sweet, and is perfect when you want to smell like an airy bouquet in a windy spring day.

This is a really nice pretty girl perfume that ca be worn on its own, or layered with other peach or apple fragrances to play up the fruit. And is a perfect alternative to a very expensive perfume and gives the same vibes.

Today I wanted it just a little bit seeeter so I’m adding some peaches and apples to play up the fruit, and it’s the perfect simple combo to make you feel good all day.

#LTKgrwm #LTKselfcare #LTKdayinmylife

I love me a good fruity perfume and @Lataffa Perfumes Ana Abiyedh Coral does it for me!

Today I layered her with

It's giving crisp, cold watermelon that's perfect for this time of year.

Floral Rose by Dossier is an absolute yes for me.

If you like clean, woody rose scents you'll love this.

Think Le Labo Rose 31 but for the cheap and she lasts!

She's a little hard to run down but I was able to find her, just check my LTK for the deets.

Happy shopping friend!

Brown Girl Jane had a new peach fragrance that released this week called Peach Aura and I’ve got my hands on it!

Here’s my first impression thoughts on it before a full wear!

#LTKselfcare #LTKmorningroutine #LTKgrwm

If you're looking for a clean kinda citrusy floral Yellow Dream is an easy reach!

With notes of Italian Lemon, Rose Accord, and Clean Musk it's light, it's fresh and it's subtle which makes it perfect for nice and/or cloudy early spring day like we're having here in San Antonio.

I love it because it's beautiful on its own and doesn't take a lot to make a statement. It's effortless and that's what makes it such an easy grab for times like these.

I like it even more because it's priced amazingly here in the TTS and with the way I use this it's def one I keep in my cart.

Whether you need to refill it try it for the first time it's linked below.

This fragrance kept popping up as one of my most clicked scents, so I had to give it its own moment.

If you love sweet, fluffy fragrance profiles with marshmallow and vanilla notes, Khadlaj Cloud Candy is a really solid option.

It opens sweet and airy, dries down slightly musky, and layers beautifully with other fragrances.
