Hello lovelies! Recently, I was asked to share my thoughts on what it is that makes me feel beautiful and confident. When I think about beauty and confidence, I can’t help but to think of my mother! She was a natural beauty, her makeup consisted of only lipstick. However, there were three things I never saw her leave the house without, her hair perfectly groomed (I’m talking about a woman who once colored her hair while in the hospital), her jewelry and her fragrance. When I was younger, my mother sold Avon, and I remember I couldn’t wait to get my hands on those little tubes of fragrance samples. A love affair with fragrance was born!
For me, fragrance is similar to a beautifully paired bra and panty set, it’s another layer of confidence and sexiness we slip on before getting fully dressed. I don’t know what it is, but I feel amazingly confident and beautiful, almost powerful, when someone tells me how nice I smell.
I have a good friend who is so in love with her signature scent, she refuses to tell people what it is when she’s complimented. Even though I’ve assured her everyone’s body chemistry is different, which pretty much ensures that one scent will smell differently on multiple people. She won’t hear it. It’s her personal scent, her power and she won’t give it away! Can’t say I blame her.
But I won’t be stingy! I’ve currently got three favorites in rotation and I don’t mind sharing them with you.

I’d love to know what you’re wearing that makes you feel beautiful and confident.
