The fragrance notes that stand out to me the most are the cranberry, blackcurrant liquor, and rose. I have not seen too many perfumes that have a cranberry note in them. So when I first smelled Cosmopolitan and read the fragrance notes that cranberry note really made me fall in love with this fragrance.

The Good Scent Brand.

The Good Scent brand is an affordable perfume brand that is sold at discount stores such as TJ.Maxx and Marshall’s. The Good Scent brand was created in 2023. The price point for The Good Scent fragrances are usually between 14.99 to 16.99. The types of scents that The Good Scent creates are mostly gourmand and floral, and fruity fragrances.

The Packaging.

I love the Good Scent packaging is always so pretty and the Cosmopolitan bottle is simple and classy. Another thing that I love about the Good Scent packaging is that they always put the fragrance notes on the bottom back of the bottle.

How Long Does The Scent Last?

On my skin it lasts up to six hours and on my clothes it lasts all day. I am also a heavy sprayer so that might have something to do with it lol. Also this fragrance can be worn on it’s own are you can layer it with other fragrances in your collection. I need to warn you every time I wear Cosmopolitan I get lot’s of compliments. So she is a compliment getter lol.

The price that I paid was 16.99 which is an affordable price for a 3.4 fl. oz bottle.

So friends I hope that this Bath and Body Works empties post will help you the next time that you need a little help in figuring out what you should purchase. I love Bath and Body Works and have been shopping there for years. Thanks for reading and I will see you in my next post.

Walmart.

So, I purchased the Dove & Crumbl Confetti Cake Limited Edition nourishing body wash from Walmart. I believe the price was 8.97. When I tell you they only had a few in the Confetti Cake scent left, these Dove & Crumbl cookie collaboration body washes are really hard to get. Walmart had one left in the Lemon Glaze scent that I wanted as well but the only reason that I didn’t purchase it was because the outside of the packaging had stuff all on it like someone had been playing with it. So your girl is on the hunt for the Lemon Glaze and I believe they have a Strawberry Crumb Cake that I also want to get my hands on.

Dove & Crumbl Cookie Collaboration.

This Crumbl cookie collaboration with Dove has three different limited-edition body wash cookie scents which are:

1. Confetti Cake.

2. Lemon Glaze.

3. Strawberry Crumb Cake.

I think these cookie collaboration body wash also come in sugar scrubs, hand soaps, and I think deodorant and lotion.

Review.

So friends, when I first used this body wash in the shower, I fell in love, especially with how gourmand, yummy, and amazing it smelled. I also loved how it lathered on my washcloth. You don’t need to use a lot because a little goes a long way. I love how soft and moisturized my skin felt when I got out of the shower even before I put my lotion on. Also, the scent stayed on my skin all day which I love because I smelled like a gourmand, sweet, and yummy cookie. So you guessed it I love this body wash and I highly recommend it. I can’t wait to get my hands on the other two Crumbl cookie scents.

My Final Thoughts.

If you like sweet, gourmand, and yummy cookie scents I highly recommend that you get your hands on this Dove & Crumbl collaboration. I hope that this review was helpful. Thanks for reading and I will see you soon.

1. Make Sure You Have Time.

Thrifting can take a lot of time, so I like to go when I am off from work and don’t have any plans, meaning I’m not busy. I can spend hours and hours in Goodwill just going through the racks or bins. You don’t want to rush when thrifting, as taking your time ensures that you pick up the pieces that catch your eye.

2. Go Through Every Aisle.

It is essential to go through every aisle when thrifting because sometimes people put clothing back in the wrong size and aisle. I have found plenty of good pieces that I brought that I found in the wrong area. The Goodwill outlet has bins instead of clothing racks, but the same principle still applies.

3. Try Everything On.

As someone who thrifts constantly, it is important to try everything on. Sometimes, clothing looks good on the hanger but is not that flattering on your body when you put it on. The regular Goodwill stores have dressing rooms where you can try your items on. The Goodwill outlet does not have dressing rooms so in this case make sure that you are picking up items that you think you can fit and that you think will look good on your body type.

4. Have A Vision For What Items You Want.

Before I go to the thrift store, I already know what type of items I am looking for. For example, I might be searching for winter items such as sweaters, jackets, scarves, boots, long-sleeved shirts, pants, etc. So when I go to Goodwill, I have a plan and know exactly what I am hoping to find.

5. Have Fun.

The last tip friends is to have fun. I have such a good time thrifting; my favorite part is looking through everything and finding the items I love.

My Goodwill Thrift Haul

1. Puma Palermo.

The first Puma sneaker on my list is the Palermo. I love its sleekness, which makes it easy to wear with any outfit. I am also obsessed with the different color waves that the Palermo comes in. I have the pink and green pair and I also have the black and white pair as well. Puma Palermo has also been trending because it is a more affordable option especially if you want to buy a pair of Adidas Samba. You can get the Puma Palermo ranging in price from 47 to 69 whereas Adidas Samba will cost you 100.

2. Puma Basket Classic.

The second sneaker, the Puma Basket Classic, is a sleek classic Puma that can go with every outfit. I have an all-black pair with a hint of gold. I love a good all-black shoe because you don’t have to worry about it getting dirty and it looks good on just about anybody’s foot. Puma Basket Classic is also a comfortable sneaker because of the memory foam at the bottom of the inside of the shoe. I wore these recently and was able to wear them all day because they were so comfortable. I also loved how sleek this sneaker is and how you can dress it up or down depending on the outfit.

3. Puma Dribble.

Puma Dribble reminds me of the Nike Dunks they are so cute and much more affordable than the Nike Dunks. I have a pair of Puma Dribble in cream and chestnut brown. I love this color wave because it is a neutral sneaker that can go with just about any outfit. I wore these sneakers yesterday and once you break them in they are comfortable. I also love how sleek they are and how you can dress this sneaker up or down. I highly recommend the Puma Dribble if your looking for an affordable option for the Nike Dunks.

4. Suede Classic Sneakers.

Puma Suede Classic sneakers are a must-have for your sneaker collection. Puma Suede Classic comes in so many different colors to choose from. I have the cherry tart and pink color wave which I love because you can never go wrong with a red sneaker. Puma Suede Classic you can dress up and you can also dress down. This sneaker can be worn with so many different outfits making it a versatile sneaker. Also these sneakers are so comfortable and I love that they come with a memory foam at the bottom of the inside of your sneaker for even more comfort.

1. Be Kind To Everyone That Works In Customer Service.

I have worked in customer service for more than 20 years, and even though I am no longer in that career field, it is so important to show kindness to everyone working in customer service. When you're in your favorite retail store for Christmas shopping, remember to be kind to the sales associates and cashiers checking you out. They have seen a lot of customers today, and some have been rude, nasty, and very difficult to deal with. It costs you nothing to simply just be kind and patient if the lines are long which takes you more time to get checked out. Even if you're doing online shopping remember to be kind to all the delivery drivers that are delivering all of your packages. No matter if you are at the grocery store, the post office, or anywhere else where employees are dealing with people all day REMEMBER TO SIMPLY BE KIND.

2. Show Gratitude For Everything That You Already Have.

This holiday season it’s so important to show gratitude and thankfulness for everything that you are already blessed with. If you have an apartment or house that provides a roof over your head that is something to show gratitude for. Think about all the people that are homeless and have nowhere to call home. If you are blessed to have your family that you get to spend this holiday season with that is something to show gratitude for. There are so many people that don’t have family for whatever reason. That important thing is to write a list of everything that you have to be grateful for and then think about all the people that do not have those things.

3. Give More Than You Get.

This holiday season it is important to remember to give more than you recieve even if it’s just being kind to people when you are out and about. I donate to your local charity, or volenteer to feed the homeless at your local homeless shelter. Whatever you can give this holiday season just remember to give more than you get. It will make you appreciate everything that you already have and the new things that you recieve just a little bit more.

4. Show Gratitude For The Memories That You Create.

This holiday season will be filled with a lot of great memories and it is important to show gratitude for those memories. Even if you are spending the holiday season alone you can still make some great memories by doing everything that makes you happy.

5. Be Grateful That You Are Still Here To See Another Holiday Season.

Think about all your loved ones that have passed away and don’t get the opportunity to spend the holiday season in the physical form. So it’s important to show gratitude for another year that you get to enjoy the holiday season. Life is truly short and we are not promised to see another day. Life is such a blessing and we should show gratitude and thankfulness for life everyday.

My Final Thoughts.

So friends I hope this post gave you the inspiration to show more gratitude this holiday season. The more grateful and thankful you are in your life the easier it is to want to give and be a blessing to other people. Thanks for reading friends and I will see you all next week.

Where It All Started.

I am an 80’s baby I was born in 1981 to be exact so that means that your girl was a teenager in the mid 90’s. In that era, 90’s R&B music was everything and oftentimes was the topic of discussion for you and your friends. Most conversations started hey girl did you hear Aaliyah's new song or Mary J. Blige's new song and video? Which often leads to hours of conversation about what you thought about the song or video. The 90s is where my love for R&B music began and brings back so many memories. In this week’s newsletter, I wanted to share my 4 reasons why I love 90s R&B music.

1. How The Songs Made You Feel.

What I love most about 90s R&B is how the songs make you feel, especially songs about love. Here are some of my favorite love songs:

• Aaron Hall— “I Miss You”

• Jodeci— “Forever My Lady”

• Jodeci— “Stay”

• Mokenstef— “He’s Mine”

• Guy— “Piece Of My Love”

• Keith Sweat— “Make It Last”

• Subway— “This Lil Game We Play”

• Next— “ Butta Love”

The list can go on and on but I just had time and energy to list a few lol.

2. The Memories Attached To The Music.

When I hear certain R&B songs from the 90s it brings back so many memories for me. I can remember my whole teenage years in just a few songs lol. Such as my friends at that time, the conversations around that song, the boy I might have been low-key liking, what school I was attending, and even the grade I was in. It is such a great feeling to go back down memory lane lol.

3. Going To The Record Store.

In the 90s record stores were the place to be especially for music lovers who couldn’t wait to get their favorite artist's tape yes you heard me correctly in the 90s we still had cassette tapes lol. CDs didn’t take over until the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I can remember all the fun times of me and my friends going to the mall on the weekend and hanging out in our favorite music store. Such fun times and great memories were made.

4. Music Is My Happiness.

Whenever I was feeling sad about something that was happening in my life music was always the thing that made me feel better. I would hear my favorite song from my favorite artist and get to singing along because of course I knew all the words and I instantly forgot about the very thing that I was sad about. Music is still my happiness even now that I am in my 40s.

My Final Thoughts.

So friends these are the 4 reasons that I love 90s R&B music even still to this day. I love that I was a teenager in the 90s and the great memories that were made all centered around great music. Thanks for reading and I will see you all next week.
