AND THE HOLIDAY CONTEST WINNER IS…….

Mary Mason from Waterloo, Ontario!! This year we are all bombarded by pressure to give and spend money, all the while facing difficult times in the economy & job market. Take a moment to read Mary’s touching holiday memory, it brought tears to my eyes. Remember, just because you don’t have money or a big family around, there is always opportunity to share, give and spread joy to others. Mary is the proud winner of Organza gift set thanks to Givenchy. Organza highlights the femininity of every woman- that of the mother and the lover. Organza awakens the goddess within and is the perfect fragrance for an exceptional and timeless woman as it combines elegance, richness and purity. Congratulations Mary! Thank you to everyone who sent in holiday memories. Stay tuned for more contest giveaway’s in 2009! Mary’s Touching Story Most Meaning Full Christmas: As we head into the holiday season and we worry about economical uncertainty I would like to share my most meaning full Christmas that my children still talk about today and one that changed our lifes for ever. I was recently divorced from a 23 year marriage, had just entered back into the work force after being an “at home mom” and money was very tight. With no extended family to celebrate Christmas with I was feeling alone. I had in the past always got through sad times by reaching out and helping others. So I talked an idea over with my children. We would open our home to anyone we knew who would be alone for Christmas evening dinner. Instead of buying gifts we would use the money to prepare our Christmas celebration. We would prepare everything for supper in the morning and in the afternoon we would volunteer to help serve Christmas dinner to…

i like stuff! i like stuff!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YES! I got some goodies today. They arrived in a big white gift bag with my name on it: I opened the bag and much to my surprise was a beautiful 50ml Ange ou Demon eau de toilette, 200ml bath gel and for my special man a 50ml Pour Homme eau de toilette spray. How awesome! I love testing out new jazz and getting presents delivered too. Makes me very happy! Ange ou Demon smells very soft and light. Not flowery or vanilla, I hate those smells. Its light enough that I could wear it all the time. It is not as strong as Hot Couture that I received a few months ago. I liked it also, but I reckon it’s more evening wear. This one is quite delicate. I like it. ♥ Try it out for yourself while out holidayshopping and let me know your thoughts.

You smell GREAT!

I recently received the Givenchy tote in the photo (right) containing the new HOT Couture scent from Givenchy. It smells awesome it has a very light woody, spicy scent to it that lasts the whole day. I’ve had complements, so trust me on this one! I don’t like scents that are too overpowering or make me sneeze and this one is light enough to keep you feeling elegant & feminine all day. It contains raspberry nectar, magnolia and amberered vetiver. This Fall you can get your black Givenchy tote complete with a cute pink notebook at Shoppers Drug Mart. It retails about $100 but babes, its Givenchy! Check it out at Holts, Eaton Centre or Shoppers next time you’re passing by.I’m sure you’ll enjoy it ♥
