The holiday season is almost here and  I am looking forward to it this year. It has been a busy year, with lots happening. So some relaxation and fun times are welcomed. I like the holiday season because it allows me to relax, unwind, and spend quality time with my loved ones. The shopping side of it is also fun. I enjoy looking out for amazing gifts for my family, and getting them wrapped up and posted. Another thing I enjoy is unwrapping a little gift every day for the first 25 days of December.

October 20, 2024 By in Lifestyle, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , 1 Comment

Hey perfume lovers! Another perfume review for your reading pleasure. I know it can be tricky sometimes when it comes to shopping for fragrances. Sometimes, trying them in the stores doesn’t just to cut it. So perfume reviews do come in handy, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy writing them. Today’s perfume review is all about the amazing Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum.

I have been using this lovely scent by Christian Dior for many months, and I like it! It has a lovely, intense floral scent and it is really good. I have always been a huge fan of Christian Dior perfumes, especially the J’adore range. I think Dior perfumes smell amazing and are ever so long-lasting, and this lovely bottle right here did not disappoint. It is such a sweet feminine scent.

Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum Description

All the gold of J’adore in an essential, pure concentrate. For L’Or de J’adore, Director of Dior Fragrance Creation – Francis Kurkdjian showcases the beauty of the J’adore flowers by heightening their nuances and accentuating their colors.

A full and voluptuous perfume essence that creates a dialogue between notes of orange blossom, jasmine grandiflorum and centifolia rose absolutes. Blossoming in their full glory in a floral quintessence that is both powerful and sensual, these flowers are the true gold of J’adore.

Full of roundness and curves, the iconic J’adore necklace has been restyled to reflect the warmth of the scent, transforming into an organic and precious metal that undulates and hugs the glass of the L’Or de J’adore bottle.

PROS
  • I love the intense floral scent. It smells divine.
  • This fragrance is so long-lasting. It stayed on all day and I didn’t have to respray.
  • The bottle is so pretty. It looks amazing in my perfume collection.
  • I love the fact that the fragrance is not overpowering. It’s a great daytime fragrance and it works great especially in the spring and summer months.
CONS
  • None. I adore Christian Dior J’adore L’OR Essence de Parfum.

Overall, I rate this fragrance 8/10. It is definitely a fragrance I have enjoyed and I am still enjoying. If you are after a new scent to test out, I highly recommend Christian Dior perfume  and I am yet to meet anyone online or offline who doesn’t love this fragrance.

Over 30s skincare tips – Why we should exfoliate

July 18, 2024 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , 2 Comments

Exfoliating the skin regularly helps it stay soft, smooth, and supple. The benefits of exfoliating, which removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface cannot be overemphasized, especially for the over 30s woman. If exfoliating is not part of your weekly skincare routine, and you are wondering what the fuss is, keep reading…

Over 30s skincare tips – Why we should exfoliate

The skin is supposed to naturally shed dead skin cells every 30 days, but sometimes this natural shedding process doesn’t happen as it should. Which is where exfoliating skincare products come in. Here are some of the main skincare benefits of regular skin exfoliation –

  • Brighter and youthful skin

Exfoliating your skin at least once a week would greatly improve its appearance as the process would increase blood circulation and remove dead skin. Most times, if you use an effective exfoliating skin product, your skin will look brighter and smoother immediately.

  • Fewer breakouts

If you are struggling with breakouts, you may need to exfoliate some more for smoother skin, Exfoliating the skin regularly prevents clogged pores, which leads to fewer breakouts and smoother skin.

  • Absorption of skincare products

Sometimes, the skin does not absorb the skincare products properly, or if it does, it takes a long time to sink in. One way to get around this is to exfoliate regularly as this helps the skin absorb skin products better and then the benefits of the skincare products are really visible, due to a more rejuvenated appearance.

  • Fades age spots and pigmentations

The weekly removal of dead skin cells means the appearance of faded spots and pigmentations would reduce too, and this is super important, especially for those over 30s skin.
