Cool Water by Davidoff

You would think that the perfume lover in me would be glad to hear that Metro Jaya @ The Curve is having a massive sale of up to 70% for perfumes. I should be jumping up and down at the thought of perfume shopping @ The Curve, which is also near our place. However when my friend Shemah told me about the Discount Perfumes just waiting for me to bring them home, I could only moan in regret for just last weekend, B purchased a 200ml bottle of Davidoff Cool Water! Can you imagine the discount he would have enjoyed had we known a sale was just around the corner?

Aptly named Cool Water, this classic scent is for the man who seeks and enjoys a life of exhilaration, invigoration and refreshment. With notes of orange blossom, mint, rosemary, sandalwood and musk, Cool Water rejuvenates with a fresh and masculine scent throughout the day.

Like I told Shemah, I am the most unlucky shopper! Many a time, I have splurged on something expensive only to discover that it was on sale the very next day or week. My office chair is a good example. Immediately after I bought the chair for a whopping RM199, the very next week it went on sale for almost half the price!

Oh well, I am still happy that B finally got himself a new bottle of perfume. I've been bugging him to get a new bottle ever since he sprayed the last drop of his favourite Hugo Boss perfume months ago. He simply could not make up his mind on what scent he wanted so finally last weekend saw him purchasing Cool Water, which is a classic favourite and smells heavenly on him! Yours truly on the other hand, reluctantly went home empty-handed since the Mariah Carey scent I wanted was unavailable.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Perfume Gifts for Me!

Here I go again, still on my posting frenzy! Somebody stop me already!

I have a good reason to be excited today and if you know me well enough, you'd know why when you visit My Fragrance Room; an ultra cool perfume site, which is an obvious must-bookmark for me!

A leading online source for Designer Fragrances, colognes, skin care, hair care, aromatherapy, and everything else that's good for you, My Fragrance Room offers a wide array of genuine brand name fragrances and beauty products at the lowest prices! All products are 100% original too so you need not worry about imitations or knock-offs. I did a little online shopping and was thrilled to find my limited edition Eternity Purple Orchid available. However, it is not in stock at the moment; what is up with me and all these out-of-stock hard-to-find perfumes?

Before I forget, I'd also like to take this post to thank my beautiful friend Dommie, for the lovely present she gave me recently. It was a while since we met up, so her birthday present for me was belated. That did not bother me much especially since I'm thrilled with her gift choice for me - Victoria's Secret perfumes! I LOVE it, this is my favourite type of present, thanks so much Dom, love ya!

And this one here is from B, which I love of course! Check out the lime green pouch!

A GREAT PLEASURE

Shop Your Blues Away!

If my previous post focused on me feeling blue and depressed due to certain things going on in my personal life, this one here serves to cheer me up with things to do when I am sad!

When I'm feeling down in the dumps, I will do two things to forget my worries. First, I'd throw myself into my work or blog; hence the regular posting you've seen over at my perfume blog! It's unusual for me to be posting almost daily, and yet here I am posting nonstop at MPG and even now, I am already thinking what to post there next LOL!

The other thing I do is SHOP! Yeah, shop my heart out for the things I love so I'd be surrounded by all the things that make me happy and hopefully, all the worries plaguing me will disappear or at least move further away from me! Yeah, that is what I do and tonight I am in luck for I've just stumbled on the perfect shopping site!

Free Shipping Deals is a really cool site that provides online shoppers like me, thousands of free shipping deals and free shipping coupons, which helps you save a lot of money on shipping charges! That way, I can still shop with glee minus the guilt as I still save on shipping costs, which trust me; can go up really high if you're planning to shop till you drop! ;)

I'm always on the lookout for discounts especially when I do my perfume shopping online, so this is a really cool find. For the last twenty minutes, I've been happily browsing through the many cool categories available like Pets, Books, Office Supplies, Kids & Baby but the one that really caught my attention was Health & Beauty, which led me to Fragrance naturally! I made a quick search for Tuscany Per Donna because I know my friend Emila has been looking for this scent. And hey, it is available, so Emila perhaps you can check out this site too!

I will now search for my lovely Champagne/Yvresse YSL perfume. I wonder what sort of discount I'd enjoy with this purchase! It looks like I'm going to be busy shopping tonight. Come join me peeps! I'm sure there are tons of things you're dying to buy and this is a great place for us to shop the night away! Remember, it's not senseless shopping if we save on our purchases so let's all enjoy this guilt-free shopping spree - have fun! :)

Crisp, fresh woodsy and mossy, Champagne is an invigorating fruity scent. Alluring and fresh, it is perfect for daytime wear!

Coffee With the Girls

Once in a blue moon, when everyone in the group can agree on a date and location, a bunch of us will get together for a reunion over coffee and cakes. All of us used to work in one company but most have left in pursue of personal dreams and career paths.
I left the organization back in December 2004. Wow, it's hard to believe that I've been freelancing from home for close to 4 years now! It all seems like yesterday when the six of us were happily working together in one department. DD and I left the company at the same time but we ended up being neighbours, so I see her more often than the other five. Elle is now working in a reputable organization elsewhere and Emila recently left to pursue her mission and dream as an artist and designer from home.
Anyway, the youngest of the lot, Jue is about to tie the knot at the end of the month so we decided to meet up for one last time before she ended her single hood. Unfortunately, only 4 of us could make it but we did still have lots of fun that afternoon. It was our time to forget about work or other stress plaguing our lives at the moment. It was our session to sit back and chill out with good friends, enjoying coffee after coffee, catching up on who's dating whom, who's cheating on whom, who's switching jobs, who's going on a vacation... the usual girly chit chat and gossip! Emila and I even found some time to exchange stories and tactics on blogging and our ongoing Triumph craze! ;)
Seeing that I'm unable to attend her wedding, I gave Jue her wedding gift early. After weeks of cracking my head, thinking of the perfect wedding present, I visited Shopping.com, to browse through their wide range of products for some cool wedding gift ideas. This site provides product reviews too, which made things so much easier for me. Much browsing and comparing later, I decided to go with a gift other than the usual crystal, cookware, home appliances that we usually see as wedding gifts and opted for something that I'm certain she would truly appreciate - a his and her Issey Miyake perfume set! If there's one thing Jue and I share in common, it is our love for perfume. I think we both don't mind spending a little extra when it comes to our scents. Some would probably think we tend to go overboard with our perfume passion, but I believe that true perfume lovers out there would totally understand!

When she opened the box, her reaction was enough to make me smile throughout the day. Issey Miyake happens to be one of my favourite scents and I was beaming even harder when she said that she almost purchased a bottle for herself just the day before! It's hard to think of the perfect gift for someone, especially if that someone is one that you care about so seeing her genuinely excited expression made all the thinking, browsing and shopping worthwhile!

All in all, it was another wonderful reunion and I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Jue and her fiancée the very best in their upcoming nuptials. From the three of us in this picture and the other two that were MIA that lovely afternoon, we love you and we wish you a lifetime of happiness and love! Congratulations Jue! :)
