Anyone try Merchant of Venice perfumes? I've been seeing massive sales on expensive perfumes but haven't ever tried the different brands. I have seen more than a couple people saying The Merchant of Venice and House of Sillage don't last very long and some brands are more about the bottle than the juice. Since I haven't ever tried these brands I am a bit shy about jumping in on a "good" deal. I suppose I could purchase a sampler but if they are only good for two-four hours on most people I don't want to waste the fifty or more dollars for a sampler. I won't even get the nice bottle in that instance. hahah.

I have found a couple Few, hahah) new favorites lately. One is Guerlain's Shalimar Millèsime Iris. I think it retains about a quarter of the Shalimar DNA and then steps out as a warm, dusty scent with some golden smelling vanilla. I find it comforting. I could smell this on myself throughout the day. I sprayed about four or so sprays and I didn't find it overwhelming at all. It lasted all day but it definitely was midway between skin scent and powerhouse for me. I didn't find it overly sweet. I don't think it's as sweet as Burberry Goddess or Kilian's Princess. There is a less sweet quality that pulls it back from that level for me but it I definitely wouldn't rate it as sugarless, so to speak. Millèsime Iris is so appealing to me that I am tempted to get a backup bottle because it is a flanker to the OG Shalimar and those are usually limited edition and once it's gone out of production it will be hard to get.

It really depends. I've always had to use lots of skincare because I have very dry, sensitive and fair skin with roseacea. However I knew kids who would use regular soap and be fine. Not all of us are that lucky.

You need to exfoliate once or two a week

Hey! Most people who have light hair when they are younger end up having darker hair when they’re older. This is completely normal and my hair did the same thing! When I was little I had light golden brown hair. As I got older it got darker and by the time I reached my teens it got to be a medium brown. I wished my hair was lighter for a long time but then I got used to it and I realized that true brown hair is beautiful. So remember that your old hair color is beautiful, and your new hair color is equally beautiful. If you do want to lighten your hair a little, I’ve used sunin and it works really well for my hair. I think it’s fun to have lighter hair during summer. It just lightens a little bit at a time. Lightening your hair in any way will damage it a little so keep that in mind. Also depending on how dark your hair is and how it lifts it can possibly turn orange. I haven’t had this experience but I’ve heard of it happening. Just remember that no matter what, your hair is beautiful, and how you look is such a tiny part of life so don’t worry too much about it and remember to have fun!

@itsfi Oh wow, 2 months? I had no idea. I have tried magnesium and a number of Melatonin gummies, but I don't tend to notice huge results in terms of sleep. I think I could probably do a better job controlling my caffeine intake, but that's not easy for me. I tend to be pretty anxious, so that also affects my sleep I'm sure. I hope you see good results.
