And finally, when I visited Blogthings today, I found one on what Fragrance Profile do I belong to. Here is my results; I do love vanilla, so I'm quite happy with my results! Care to share your fragrance profile with me?

Make Love, Not War

"When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. " The Dalai Lama

I got tagged by Emila with this unique peace tag; the main purpose is to spread peace and unity around the globe. Emila's friend, Zari created the beautiful dove icon you see here, as a symbol of unity, love and peace. I think this tag is a wonderful way for us bloggers to help spread peace and love to each other. If everyone does their part in maintaining peace within themselves, their families, society and eventually the world, I'd like to believe that love will take over and peace will hopefully reside.

And now, lets tag some of my blog friends who I think have lots of love to share with others and they are Bobby, Madamoiselle, LJ, Zubli, Farah, Hazel, Bokjae, NAFASg, Sassy, Jamy and Catsy. Will you join me in this quest to make love and not war?

The rules:

1. If you get tagged or not (and want to play along), take some minutes to meditate about love and peace, pray for countries that are facing troubles, for those people you love and those you don’t.
2. Write a post with links to blogs that you think would like to participate.
3. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

Mesmerized

Valentine's Day is here and what better way to celebrate it than buying a new perfume for myself! Actually, the purpose of our shopping today was to purchase a new scent for B. Unlike me, who's constantly surrounded by scents, B's range of scents is definitely not as elaborate as mine. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the perfect scent for B today; he was just not into any one of the many scents we tested. I however, spotted the new Pure White Linen Light Breeze and was immediately mesmerized by the sheer elegance of this intoxicating floral scent.

Honestly, I didn't plan to buy a new perfume for myself today. My dresser is already packed with too many bottles but when I set my sight on this divine green bottle, its magnetic allure was simply too strong and I could not resist. And did you notice the miniature scent that comes with this set? It would definitely make a beautiful addition to Mariuca's Perfume Gallery with its elegant design and beautiful green shade. I'm also a huge fan of Estee Lauder and since White Linen Breeze is one of my favorite scents, I quickly made the purchase before I changed my mind and decided that this will be my Valentine's Day gift to myself! :)

Pure White Linen Light Breeze aims to mesmerize by capturing casual elegance to perfection. Vibrant and lively, this sparkling citrus floral fragrance combines refreshing citrus and sparkling notes of natural elements of green to bring you a fresh cool scent is reminiscent of a lovely garden in summer - simply irresistible! Its top notes include Italian bergamot, watery kumquat blossom, orange zest, white grapefruit, osmanthus, yellow freesia and linden blossom.



The best part of this purchase is of course the free miniature bottle, which is now happily occupying a prominent spot in my Gallery! It's amazing how a new scent can do wonders for my soul, which means I'm in a great mood today! I'd like to wish all of you a Happy Valentine's Day and don't forget to splurge on a nice new scent this special day!
