the smell of goodness

I think I am slowly turning into my mother...

dont worry, I recently blogged about how great she was like 2 days ago[ see "our mom is better" ] so I dont mean it in a bad way or in every aspect of life, but sometimes I do little things and its obvious! its like a slap in the face. I freeze in time and go back to my bushy bushy blond hair girl days, its like watching a replay.

a little thing is that I've come to love a good smellin' home! I cant help it. I love coming home from a long day, exposed to all kinda who-knows-what smells, walking into my home and say "ahhh..." or "yummmm..." I mean, I want it smellin' so good I dont even think about leaving or opening the front door! So for today's post, just in case you need some assistance, here are some of my favorites:

Seasonal:

Bath & Body's Slatkin & Co. "Autumn"

I got this as a present from the super amazing Lisa Forster & Stephanie Matchschniegg! It was a perfect transition out of my summer scents. Thank you Lisa! I love it!

Pier 1's "Creamy Caramel Pumpkin"

I never shop at Pier 1. My mom didnt so... I dont. Kinda weird how we are conditioned in that way. But our style doesnt really mix with theirs... they got this overly decorative, flashy, Moroccan-ish look going on. Every once in a while, we give it a try... this time, I walked out with was 2 candles. Let me just say I am not disappointed! I got Mom a "Fireside" scent and mine is this on the left. Caramel+Pumpkin? Yes, please. And it was only $5. delicious. I just hope I dont accidently take a bite out of it!

All the time:

the Body Shop's Home Oil "Satsuma"

I wish I could make this text ever larger. I should've just done 1 blog on this one product. It deserves it. This is my all time favorite smell of a product out there in this world. I used it so much back in the dorm days that my girls in my hall would know I was me burning that awesome scent. It is just the most addicting & perfect smell ever. Its clean, orangey, vibrant and it mixes perfectly with all of BS's other oils to make even more smells.

The only thing that stinks is I want to burn it 24-7. I wish i didnt have to buy it in such small bottles. I wonder if they would send me a gallon jug of it? If Im willing to pay, why not?!

Glade Plug-in

I know, you are saying LAME. But just listen, it is nice to be able to purchase the plug for 99cents, refills that last months for 3-4 and let it burn 24-7 with no worries. So, when I come home... my room, my bathroom, the hallway smells good without having to leave a candle burning. Smokey the Bear approves of the Glade plug-in. Go ahead and think Im super dorky for liking this... but I dont care. It works and its affordable... works for me

enjoy a good smelling home this weekend but be safe! dont forget to blow candles out! Sometimes when I leave the house, I spend the first 2 miles of my drive in anxiety over if I blew them out. OH MY, just another way I am becoming my mother. We always used to laugh Sunday mornings cause it never failed she would say, "WAIT WAIT, I dont think I turned my curling iron off!!!" love that woman.
