Wordless Wednesday: Too Much Booze

What Do You Smell Like?

This week marked the start of the release of Lalalita Body Co's winter scents. Already released is "A Wonderful Gingerbread Cookie", and today begins the launch of "A Spiced Cranberry Story". Both are great, bold scents that I love, and would choose myself to wear in colder months. Almost like styles of clothing, changing from shorts to pants, short sleeves to sweaters, my tastes in scents vary with the seasons. In the spring and summer, I wear more tropical, light scents like coconut and fruit, or satsuma. As soon as the third week of September rolls around, however, I get out the cinnamon. The pumpkin. The fudge brownie (scents, of course. I don't rub a pumpkin on my wrists! ;)). And that's the way I roll, until spring rolls around again and the short sleeves come out.

Do you do the same thing? What are your favorite scents for the warmer months? What about when the air has a crisp snap to it, or snowflakes are swirling around your head? Or are you a one-scent kind of person year-round?

Happy October!

Happy October! "It's the most wonderful time... of the year..." Definitely one of our favorite times in this household. If the weather only matched that of New England's, it'd be perfect. Despite the light rain yesterday, I got out the Halloween stuff (nowhere near the amount that I used to haul out when the girls were growing up) and decorated inside, and on and around the front porch.

Happy October, everyone!

Autumnal Memories in Scent

What do you think of when autumn approaches? For me, autumn is associated with a variety of aromas. Cinnamon. Candy corn. A slightly cool chill that contrasts with a warm, almost burnt scent in the air. But above all, pumpkins are, for me, the number one aroma that comes to mind when I think of this glorious time of year that just bursts with color.

And you know what that means... it's the time of year to roll out the autumnal scents!


And first up is "Hush... Hush, Sweet Pumpkin Pie". Cinnamony and spicy, this scent definitely does its job to invoke the heady aromas of fall. It's quickly become my Favorite Scent O' the Moment, and I've already made myself a batch of shea butter and aloe lotion. It's also available in my emulsified sugar scrub, and you can find it in the "Holiday Scents" section of the Lalalita Body Co shop.
