Lady E’s Favorite Things: Perfume

During December I developed a serious addiction to perfumes. I used to avoid perfumes as they trigger my rhinitis but colognes and body sprays don’t last the whole day so you have to re-apply. There are two things that I only do once a day before I leave the house: 1. Comb my hair. 2. Spritz perfume. I hate bringing perfume bottles when I’m on the go. So I decided to splurge on perfume. They are a good long-term investment and I don’t get hassled anymore.

One of my favorite brands is Givenchy and they are giving away samples of their 2 new fragrances – Play for Men (endorsed by Justin Timberlake) and Le Secret (endorsed by Uma Thurman) to one of my lucky followers. And I’m also throwing in Lady Million by Paco Rabanne:

MB has Play for men and I have Le Secret which we will give as a gift to someone in the family.

They come in cute spritzer bottles:

Play is very potent so you only need a small amount. It lasts the whole day.

House Rules:

1. I need at least 5 participants for each giveaway to push through. If there are not enough participants, the prize will be put in the next giveaway’s pot. There will only be 1 winner for each giveaway unless otherwise stated. So for example, if there are not enough interested girls in the above prize then I’ll include this in the next giveaway. The winner of that giveaway will win both the above prize and the featured prize of that giveaway.  If that giveaway still does not push through then the third giveaway winner will win 3 prizes and so on.

2. Be a follower. If you already are, state in the comments section.

3. Blog about this giveaway or place in your sidebar. If you don’t have a blog, you can tweet it or put it in Facebook. Send me the link.

4. Answer this question: What is your favorite perfume and why?

5. State all your answers in the comments section. Example:
Lady E. I’m a follower. I blogged about this giveaway here (link). I also tweeted about this here (link) and you can find it in my FB here (link). My favorite perfume is Clinique Happy because the scent just perks me up every time.

6. This first giveaway is until Friday, February 4, 12 MN only. This is open to Philippine readers only.
 
 
Since there were not enough participants in the first giveaway, I am including all these in this giveaway:

If you’ve blogged about the first giveaway already, just make a new post adding the new prizes.

*Thank you Givenchy for sponsoring this giveaway!

    i am actually a scent person. most of them are just eu de toilette and not eu de parfum. but unlike most men who like musk virile scent, i prefer the lighter, unisex type. in fact, my daily use right now are Inspire(Marks&Spencer) and Light Blue(Dolce&Gabbana). hahaha.

    i had them because they're cheap but not the likes of the "Bambini Cologne for Men, halimuyak ng lalakeeeeng desenteeee". :)

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

  I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
