Inside the mind of a woman

The past few weeks have been truly hectic. I have had to plan, organize, facilitate, pack, fix and basically restructure my life (including my family’s) accompanying our move to a new home. During all the chaos, I somehow got lost in the organization of my own personal stuff. The most important ones include my skincare products, cosmetics, fragrances and the like.

When we had finally settled down to a manageable mess, I set out one day to replenish my stock of fragrances. I immediately went to a nearby mall to get about 2 bottles of Martini Cocktail scent from Zen Zest. At P180 a bottle, should anyone complain that I am practically hoarding? Unfortunately, the saleslady informed me that my favorite scent is now the favorite of about a million other women and that is the reason why it has run out of stock. Bummer. She then held out a similar bottle of cologne with a bluish liquid inside. Try this. Ok.

Hmm. Light. Clean smelling. Perfect! What is it called? Malibu. Doesn’t that remind you of sea, sand and waves? Well the scent comes not far from it. My nose is not an expert and I cannot tell if one is made out of vanilla, rose, or ginger. But I do know what I want and smell my way into getting them. And light is my first option always on scents. No matter what people and salesladies tell me, I hate the feeling of wearing a sticky heavy scent like… vanilla (no offense to vanilla lovers). Personally, cucumber-melon, citrus or green tea suits me more.

With the skyrocketing prices of commodities, my great finds on everyday scents are truly a treasure. These colognes smell lovely and are perfect for any place or time of day. So perfect in fact that I practically shower myself with them. Its a good thing they come so very cheap. You do not have to feel like you need to save on every drop (like I do with my other scents like D&G, Banana Rep W and others).
