Perfume Review – Fendi La Baguette Eau de Parfum

January 31, 2025 By in Lifestyle, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , Leave a comment

Fendi La Baguette Eau de Parfum is one of the fragrances I got in Paris last summer, and I am so in love with it. This unisex gourmand fragrance was launched in June 2024 by the perfumer – Anne Flipo. Fendi La Baguette is such a lovely perfume. It ticks all my fragrance boxes and I am so in love with it. La Baguette is one of my current favourites from my perfume collection. This is my second Fendi perfume; I had one many years ago, and that was also really good, but La Baguette is the best perfume I have ever tried from Fendi.

Fendi La Baguette Eau de Parfum Description

Now, the universal appeal of the Baguette has been captured in a fragrance by master perfumer Anne Flipo. A floral, powdery iris from France imbues it with the sophistication of the iconic bag. Behind it, a Madagascar vanilla: the indulgence of a sweet dessert, a pleasure to share. Uniting them, a sensual, velvety leather note.

Perfume Notes

  • Iris ultimate from France
  • Leather accord of the perfumer’s creation
  • Vanilla CO2 crafted with sun-dried beans from Madagascar

PROS
  1. I love the powdery sweet scent. It smells so good
  2. It is quite long-lasting, with good sillage and projection.
  3. I love the elegant design of the bottle. It is a beauty to behold
  4. This fragrance is not overwhelming at all. It is light enough to wear on a warm summer day, and yet cool enough to wear on chilly days and nights.
CONS

None. I love everything about this perfume.

Overall, I would rate Fendi La Baguette Eau de Parfum 8/10. It is such a beautiful fragrance and I highly recommend it. If you are looking for a new fragrance to try, you may want to this new scent by Fendi. It stands out from the rest, and since it’s unisex, it is a fragrance you could gift your partner this Valentine Day.

If you are into New Year’s resolutions, having a financial New Year’s resolution is the way to start right. Although financial well-being is important and is linked to both physical and mental health, many of us still shy away from thinking about it. So when it comes to financial planning, retirement funds, life insurance, budgeting, and anything to do with money management, many rather stay in denial. This should not be the case. Financial planning is not as daunting as it seems, and here are 3 financially smart ways to prove it –

How Many New Year’s Resolutions Have You Ticked Off 6 Months In Image

Look up term life insurance cost

Having life insurance is one way to be financially smart if you don’t have a cover in place already. Getting life insurance is required if you are looking to plan for the unexpected. It also helps to ensure your family is protected.  If finances are stretched, you could look at getting a term life insurance cover, which simply means your beneficiaries would get a lump sum if you were to pass away while the cover is still active.

Many people may prefer this type of life insurance coverage to the whole life insurance coverage, which provides coverage for your entire life. You could do some more reading on term life insurance cost to find out more about this life insurance coverage, and to see if it suits your needs. There are many options for life insurance coverage in the market, so there should be a cover for almost everyone, don’t let the cost of life insurance put you off. Having a life insurance cover in place is one of the most important financial smart ways to kick off the year.

Sort out your household budget

Looking at your income and expenses, and planning a realistic household budget is a financially smart way to start the year. Sorting out your household budget should be one of the first things you do for the year. Morgan Stanley’s financial management tools are great for helping you analyse your cash flow in one place, so this is a great financial resource to start with for anyone looking to sort out their household budget.

Tackle the debt

Staying on top of debt is crucial with the various credit facilities many of us have. It is so easy to forget to make a payment to a credit card or to pay a bill. This is where having a direct debit set up can come in handy. If you find yourself swimming in debt and unable to stay on top of it, it may be best to speak with a financial adviser for ideas on how to best tackle the debt. A quick online should bring up lots of options for you to explore.

5 Tips to Care for Your Mind

January 22, 2025 By in Health and Well-being Tags: , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The mind is so strong and yet so fragile at the same time, and this is why it’s essential to pay attention to our mental health. There are many ways to look after your mental health, and many of these ways are quite simple to incorporate into our daily routines but are usually overlooked. If you are looking for ways to improve your overall mental health, here are some tips to help you care for your mind –

5 Tips to Care for Your Mind

Listening to music

Music is a powerful tool when it comes to caring for your mind, body, and soul. I listen to music every day; my Spotify playlists are always on the go, and I am forever discovering new songs. Music can help reduce anxiety and depression, it is also great for boosting mood and increasing energy.

Exercising

Staying physically active does wonders for physical and mental health. Hitting 10,000 steps a day should be everyone’s goal. This is easily done if you remain active all through the day by taking time to exercise, going for runs/walks, stretching, dancing, getting chores done, and the like. The goal is to keep moving to improve your overall health, and it works like magic.

Getting enough sleep

The power of a good night’s sleep can’t be overemphasized. Most adults need 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night to feel rested and refreshed. If you are getting less than the recommended amount of sleep, try going to bed earlier and aim for at least 7 hours of sleep every night. Quality sleep is a great way to care for your mind and body.

Nutritious diet

Food has an impact on our mental health. I find that certain healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, improve my mood, and the more healthy the food, the better for my mental health. This is why having a nutritious diet is important. We need to pay more attention to what we eat because, at the end of the day, we are what we eat. Staying hydrated by drinking enough water is also essential. I am always with a bottle of water, and that reminds me to keep drinking.

Reduce Social Media

Social media is an excellent to stay connected and to stay in the loop of things. However, sometimes it can become draining, which is not great for mental health. So reducing the time you spend on social media apps would help reduce your overall screen time which your eyes would thank you for, and it would also help you stay focused on the here and now, your own life, which in the long run, helps care for your mind.
