Bath & Body Works For The Fellas

Howdy! The Bath & Body Works Semi Annual Sale is my Black Friday equivalent and I live for it. There is nothing better to me than filling an online shopping cart to the brim with products and not clutching my pearls at the total. During my last haul I got eighteen products for seventy dollars and you simply can’t beat that. When I shop the Semi Annual Sale, I do a general restock on all of my must haves of foaming hand soap, shower gel, lotion, wallflowers, and hand sanitizer. I also like to throw in a few shower gels for Johnny as a little treat. There was a point in time when he was using my shower gel so I wanted to get some just for him! Let’s take a look at these scents for the fellas and see what they’re all about together:

Deep Ocean: I am a HUGE fan of aquatic scents so when I saw the Deep Ocean shower gel, it went into the cart immediately. Johnny couldn’t care less about what scent he uses but I care deeply!! Deep Ocean is a rich, beachy fragrance with notes of “blue cypress, vetiver, and coastal air”. I have no idea what blue cypress or vetiver are but the coastal air is most definitely there lol. This scent is sea breeze to the T. It’s crisp, clean, and fresh and I would happily buy it again. You can only have so many men’s scents that are named after whiskey!

Graphite: Bath & Body Works will often relaunch old scents with a new name and packaging and I think I have Graphite’s number. I sniff tested Deep Ocean and Graphite back to back and they legit smell exactly the same. There might be a slight variation between the two but it is minimal at best. The fragrance notes offered in Graphite are “sage, bergamot spice, and leather woods” and I am calling BS! Regardless, I love the Deep Ocean scent so Graphite is A-okay in my book. 😀

Noir: Listen, if Noir smelled exactly like Deep Ocean and Graphite, I was going to be so mad lol! Thankfully, Noir broke free from the pack of smell alikes. Noir features notes of “black cardamom, smoky vanilla, and a hint of musk”. This is a sultry men’s fragrance if I have ever smelled one and I am so there for it. When I did the smell test, the first thought in my head went to well dressed men sitting in a gorgeous library smoking cigars and drinking from tumbler glasses of whiskey. Noir is a smooth, smoky, and downright sexy scent and I love it!

Is Deep Ocean just Graphite or vice versa? Who’s to say? But I know my Johnny will be smelling fresh to death with this batch of shower gels. Very nice! 😀

Valentine’s Day Outfit Builder

Hello!! I love getting dressed up for any holiday, but Valentine’s Day just hits different. Why? Because it’s different! While I do have a lot of very feminine clothes, I wouldn’t call my personal style “girly”. So, it is always fun to play with that too sweet aesthetic for V-Day. This year, I treated myself to a brand new OOTD for mine and Johnny’s Valentine’s Day date and I can’t wait to wear it! Today, let’s explore some options for all different kinds of styles to elevate you to the V-Day Best Dressed List too:

Sweet:

Whenever I think about Valentine’s Day, the first word that comes to mind is always “sweet” because it really is. You and your main squeeze are celebrating your love and each other and it’s a special occasion. Luckily, there is no shortage of ways that you can invoke sweetness into your OOTD. We’re talking soft, pastel shades. Silky, flowy fabrics. And, of course, dazzling and well placed accessories. Sweet outfits can benefit from one item in the OOTD being more form fitting and pairing it with something voluminous to balance it out. Cute kitten heels, tumbling curls, and makeup that enhances your natural beauty will complete the look for the ultimate in girly girl style.

Sexy:

In stark contrast to sweet vibes, let’s talk sexy. For Valentine’s Day, this means some va va VOOM baby! This is the opportunity to tap into a bad romance so leather and lace, anyone? Can you imagine a skin tight, black leather bodycon skirt paired with a deep red lace top? You will be turning everyone’s heads so don’t be afraid to show off! Choose pieces that hug every curve or accentuates a part of your body that your partner loves and let their eyes dance with accessories. For example, if you are primarily featuring your legs, a delicate anklet can push that pure sex appeal even further. Opt for smokey eyes, berry lips, and mile high stilettos to fly you into the oh so sexy stratosphere.

Sassy:

Sassy Valentine’s Day outfits are quirky and gives you free reign to play with patterns. How about a button down top with embroidered hearts? A cami with lipstick kisses? Even polka dots can transform your OOTD into something unique while still feeling classic to the Valentine’s Day standards. Sassy looks are adventurous and might not adhere to the usual silhouettes so experiment with how your clothing can create different shapes. A perfect example of this is cinching a cascading maxi dress with a belt to give your waist dimension. Screw the stilettos and go for chunky platforms, a bright lip, or try some funky eye makeup art to make your outfit pop even more!

No matter what you do for Valentine’s Day, put your best OOTD forward with these tips!

Halloween Costume Sneak Peek

Halloween Costume Sneak Peek

Hello!!!! Although Halloween is my favorite holiday of all time, I only have two costumes in my entire closet. One being a sexy Raggedy Anne that is old as dirt and a skeleton bodysuit that I wore two years ago. Last year, I created a costume from home and dressed up as Johnny lol! Because my options for a costume this year are pretty much nonexistent, I decided to finally buy a new one. I went with a sexy circus ringleader and I love it. But, damn dude, when did costumes become so expensive?! Then again, Halloween is like Christmas Day for me so why not go all out. 😀 Take a look at my new costume and keep it locked for an OOTD because I cannot wait to take pictures in it:

I ordered this costume from Spirit Halloween online because I could not be bothered to make my way to the store. As soon as Spirit Halloweens start popping up in my neck of the woods, they become picked over within a day and I just didn’t want to deal with the hassle of limited options. I was a bit nervous that my ringleader costume wouldn’t fit but it actually ran very true to the size chart and I am thrilled about it. This will make future online costume shopping so much easier because it eliminates any guess work. The costume I selected only came with the velvet cami top, jacket, and a little top hat so I purchased the pleather booty shorts separately. I also added on some cheetah print false lashes to complete the look.

This was actually not my first choice for my ringleader Halloween costume. Originally, I had selected a jumpsuit for the sake of staying warm. Then, Johnny talked me out of it while we were exploring other ringleader costumes. He insisted that I would look amazing in the one I bought and after a lot of mental back and forth, I ended up agreeing with him. Johnny shot down every “what if it’s too much/too short/too anything” every single time and it made me feel so good and confident. Hey, when he’s right he’s right because this costume looked FIRE on.

I felt so fabulous when I tried this costume on and was surprised by its quality. I adore the cami top and, honestly, will probably end up wearing it beyond Halloween! The maroon jacket was fairly thick, which I liked and it offered such gorgeous detail. Can we talk about that chain attachment between the buttons and the embroidery?! I might have dragged my feet about the price I paid, but I think anything less expensive could look cheap and feel flimsy. I am very happy with my purchase overall!

I am SO excited to break this costume out and wanted to give all of you a sneak peek before the grand OOTD reveal. Now, cue “Circus” by Britney Spears, please!

What are you dressing up as for Halloween? How often do you buy a new Halloween costume? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
