YSL Black Opium £50.50 – £91

I have heard a lot of good things about YSL Black Opium prior to trying it out for myself. So I expected it to be amazing, and it did not disappoint. This perfume was more than amazing.

Discover Black Opium, the new feminine fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent – new glam rock fragrance full of mystery and energy. An addictive gourmand floral with notes of: Black Coffee – for a shot of adrenaline; White Florals – to instantly seduce; and Vanilla – for sweetness and sensuality.

Tiny Gift Ideas for Her

September 28, 2017 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , 11 Comments

I love receiving gifts. Receiving gifts on special occasions is amazing. What is even more amazing is when I receive a gift for no reason at all. That makes the gift so thoughtful and even more special. I believe tiny gifts are great for gifting on non special occasions. Do you agree?

Here are some amazing examples of tiny gift ideas for her.

 

Miniature Bottles of Wine

Who can say no to a good bottle of wine? I know I can’t. Miniature bottles of wine are great tiny gift ideas. I remember getting some in duty-free on Milan flight. They were so useful. Great for a whenever I am alone and need a glass of wine. I think they serve as great tiny gifts ideas.

Perfumes

Perfumes always make me a smile. I can never have enough bottles of perfumes. They make great gifts and are amazing tiny gift ideas for her or him. I like smiling nice and different everyday. So having a couple of perfumes always helps.

I currently have about 8 bottles of perfume, and for the record, that is nowhere near the number of perfumes I had when I worked a 9 – 5 job.

 

Watches

Watches are great as tiny gift ideas. I am a watch girl, so I always appreciate a good watch. You don’t have to spend a fortune on a quality watch if you don’t want to. There are so many watches to pick from, in various price ranges.

I can never turn my back on a good watch. Can you?

 

 

Flowers

Flowers are loved by many and most of them are reasonably priced. So they make great tiny gifts. You can speak your heart with a lovely bunch of flowers, without saying anything.

I wasn’t really into flowers, until a few years ago, and now I love them.

The Gift of a Scent

December 5, 2016 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 36 Comments

The gift of a scent is one of the best gifts you can give a perfume lover like me because you are not only giving me a perfect present I would love, you are also gifting me a memory. And since it is the season of giving, I have been thinking of various fragrances and perfumes and which scents I would love to give and receive this Christmas. Choosing the right scent for a loved one can be very tricky, you have to get it right which means you have to know what scents the person would like. It can’t be too strong or too mild, it can be a weak or an overpowering fragrance, it has to be just perfect. Which is why I won’t recommend you buy a perfume as a Christmas gift except you know the recipient of the gift inside out.

Here are a few perfume ideas you may find useful –

 

Estée Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge Eau De Parfum Spray
