Elegant Home Scents

Everyone is familiar with Bath and Body Works. I have been a fan since high school. A lot of my favorite scents are gone and that’s okay. I have found that my choice of fragrances isn’t the same as it was 15 years ago. But what I do like are their fragrance bulbs. They have also changed the bulb warmers. They are much more decorative and what my daughter would call “fancy”.

My favorite scent this year has been “Spring”. I absolutely love it. It’s a light floral scent and it’s so feminine and the prices are so affordable. I purchased 6 bulbs for $24 and the decorative warmers start at $6. So for about $60 you can have a great scent in your home with decorative “art” plugged in your wall. It’s so nice to walk in a woman’s home and smell something feminine. I know I love smelling them when I walk in from a long work day. So check out your local Bath and Body Works for your signature home scent!

Vanity Beauty

Having an area to place your danity treasures is a wonderful thing. But having those items organized is quite another. I saw a photo in the Martha Stewart Weddings magazine for spring. Darcy Miller, of course, had this wonderful idea of using a decorative tray, small glass vases and teacups, and saucers to use to hold your favorite items. China is durable and of course, looks elegant. Below is my interpretation of Darcy’s idea. I will have to get some teacups and a tray to add to my vanity. Enjoy…
