memories...

i am not a big perfume changer.  i find something i love and i will wear it for years.  i read today that scent and memory are tied together.  i must say i certainly have always felt that way.
when i was a young girl  i wore a scent called sweet honesty.   i remember smelling it many years later and it brought me right back to my locker in high school.
this very week last year my husband and i were on vacation in italy.   while in venice i bought some perfume that i absolutely loved.  it is incredible to me how every time i spray it,  i can honestly close my eyes and feel like i am right back in that city, in that moment.  it has had a profound effect on me,  but that vacation itself had such a profound effect on me.  we had postponed that trip for years and while we were there i truly believe there was some divine intervention where all the stars lined up to make for the most incredible time of our life.  this morning when i sprayed that perfume it truly helped me relive all of the beautiful moments from
one year ago.





we are excited to be planning a new vacation where we will make new memories and i will remember to buy a scent i love that can be tied to new moments.



love sent, xo

I tie so many memories to certain fragrances that I purposely save 3/4 of every bottle.

My husband bought me perfume for a wedding gift and now I only wear it for special occasions. Every time I wear it I immediately feel butterflies like I did right before I walked down the aisle.
