Do I Smell Like An Angel Now?

Victoria’s Secret had one of their 7 for $35 sales on their bodycare products, along with 3 for $24 on their haircare products. I’ve never tried their haircare before and I adored their bodycare products when I was in high school, since I needed some things I thought why the hell not. As you can see by the big bag above I took full advantage of the sale they had going on.

First up my hair dresser keeps telling me I have dry hair. I finally decided to listen to her (meaning I finally ran out of the Ojon products that I had) and picked up their So Sexy Nourish Healthy and Hydrated Shampoo and Conditioner.

For my third item I thought about going with their deep conditioning mask from the same range but at the last second I remembered I was out of Dry Shampoo so I got that instead. It’s the So Sexy Clean and Go Dry Shampoo.

I love the way the products smell and will be doing a full review in the near future. It only takes a couple uses for me to decide if I like a hair product or not.

On to the bodycare products. Since my husband got me the Pure Seduction body spray for my birthday I decided to grab the lotion and body wash to go with it.

I also picked up the Body wash, Lotion and Spray in the scent Sensual Blush

and the body wash and spray in Such A Flirt.fashionandhappythings-0388

I completely regret not grabbing the lotion that goes with this scent even though it would have put me over the 7 items.

All of these scents smell kinda Autumn-y to me right now, but I feel like they could still be worn all year round. I’m kinda really in love with all of them. If you’re wondering how I can use such heavily perfumed products when I have such sensitive skin, it’s because I usually develop an allergy when I constantly use the same scent over and over again. So I figure if I use several different ones then I shouldn’t have any issue with it. I have 3 that I bought here, and my Aunt got me Love Spell (my all time favorite) for my birthday so that makes 4 to rotate until the next sale when I can add in new scents. It was actually my aunt giving me the Love Spell body wash that reminded me how much I loved V.S.’s body care in high school and made me want to give it try again. What’s your favorite Victoria’s Secret Scent? Or are you more of a Bath and Body works kinda person?

Oh and did you know they make men’s scents now? I’ll be checking them out and hopefully picking my husband up some the next time he needs shower gel.

What I got for my Birthday

Quick disclaimer, I’m not bragging and this isn’t everything I was given either. Only what my husband and son gave me.

My birthday is my absolute favorite day of the year. I wait for it all year long and start thinking about what I’m going to wear and making a wishlist for my husband in August. I’m like a little kid when it comes to my birthday. So I decided I’d show you some of the things I got this year.

First from my son I got a Halloween themed Tumbler cup from Barnes and Noble

and an Alex & Ani Birthstone Bracelet.

I absolutely adore them both, and have already been using the cup non stop. And how lovely is the bracelet? I totally get the hype that youtube has been giving them. Thank you LeighannSays and Anna Saconne-Joly for talking about them because I’m in love.

 

From my Husband I got Pitch  Perfect, which we picked up on my actual Birthday. I liked it, I’ll watch it again, because I adore Brittany Snow and Anna Kendrick, but I didn’t see get the insane amount of hype it got. I wish there had been more of Becca’s style of Acapella done by the Bellas.

A Body Spray from Victoria’s Secret in Pure Seduction. I adore their perfumes and body sprays and always have a least one if not a few in my collection.fashionandhappythings-0275

He also got me a couple pairs of their Most Loved Yoga Leggings. These are probably the most accurately named thing I’ve ever bought, and I may or may not be planning an outfit post on how to make them work in public (the trick is to wear them like leggings). It’s terrible, but these have quickly become the only pants I want to wear ever.

and one of the Supermodel Essentials Hoodies.

I’ve expressed my love for Victoria’s Secret several times in the past. I just adore their pajamas and hoodies. For me they’re less about sexy underwear and more about cozy lounge wear. I’ll admit I was starting to feel to old for the V.S. Pink line, and thought Gilly Hicks might be a good replacement for them. And I do adore Gilly Hicks, and Aerie too, but I’ll always love the Victoria’s Secret stuff just a bit more. I don’t know why but I do. So I’m super happy that their Supermodels Essentials line is just as good as their Pink line is.

Here’s what the hoodie he picked out looks like on:

And Finally Someday, Someday Maybe by Lauren Graham. Which I am insanely excited about. I adore Lauren Graham and have seen nearly everything she’s ever been in. I still watch Gilmore Girls, despite the fact that I have nearly the entire series committed to memory.

I did get some other very lovely gifts from my family that I haven’t gotten a chance to photograph, but I am still very grateful for everything I’ve received.
