Smelling Sweet

Hello My lovelies



Its Cherry again and I'm here with a wonderful review! as I said in the post "A Little Glass Wear Obsession" I absolutely love perfume oils. they are a great and inexpensive way to smell great all day with out breaking the bank, now I have been wearing perfume oils sense I was a kid. My father used to get them from the local flea market near by, he was a stickler for smelling good. with that I was taught to always look your best and smell just as sweet. Over the years my tastes of sent has changed only slightly I like lighter fresher sent right out of the shower and then something fruity yet womanly when I am out the door. Then again my tastes changed with the seasons as well, I tend to wear sents that are warmer and spicier in the winter and Autumn and then frutier and more tropical sent in the summer and spring.

Okay just a little history about the wonderful world of Perfume, the art of making perfume was started in Egypt and then perfected  over time by Romans and Arabs. It was in the 14th century when perfumery became popular partly because of Arabic influence and knowledge but it was the Hungarians that who made the first modern perfume. The first modern perfume was made of sented oils and an alcohol solution at the command of Queen Elizabeth of Hungry in 1370 and was known through out Europe as Hungry water. Needless to say Perfume has come a long way sense then and tastes, and trends have changed the face of perfume through out the years.

So with that said perfume can get extremely expensive day to day believe me I know, I was having the darnest time keeping myself in the basic snits I loved.  those snits are usually floral based Jasmine, Lavender, Rose and Plumeria. Then there are the Fruity snits that my boyfriend unit loves which is Apple, Mango, Strawberry, Banana, and passion fruit then there is the aromatic snits like Vanilla, Cinnamon and Star Anise. yes I love all those snits and more to the point I like those snits with out being mixed with anything so I felt it best to find sinted oils that better suited my needs. Now you may find that 6$ for a small 1oz. bottle of scented oil not really that worth it but let me dispell that seceptice thought, ssented oil's are pur sent and they arent thinned out by alchol or other fillers at all. with that said you only need litrally a drop and rub it on your wrists and neck and trust me you are smelling sweet all day because they dont wear off like other perfumes. This means where you run out of perfume in say a month or two these will last a significent longer time and dont dry out as fast as another perfume if you put them in glass perfume with stoppers like the ones I have.
I have taken to buying perfume oils that are not only my favorite base sents but dups of my favorite perfume's as well, this site called "World Wide Perfume Oils" and they are amazing. I ordered from them some time back and have been using their products for about two years ago is when I started my journey back in perfume oils. I did a lot of research and look this site had great costumer service and their sents are really good, I really enjoyed what I got and I want to share that with you now. first I wanted to test how well their perfume types or (dips) of popular perfumes they made, and I was very pleasantly surprised.
 I bought their Be Delicious (Donna Karan) Type, Chance (Chanel) Type, Burberry Brit Type, Ralph Lauren Blue Type, Romance (Ralph Lauren) Type, Tommy Girls (T. Hilfiger) Type,   Fantasy  (Britney Spears) Type. how much of my hard earned wampum did I spend you ask? well all together I spent a total of  57.15$ which is the price of one of these perfumes.....Well a large bottle, that means I actually spent all of 6.95$ per bottle. now mind you I paid that much for a 1 oz. bottle but like argon oil you lirtally need only one drop on your wrist (rubbing it in to spread the sent) and two drops on each side of your neck. yep thats three drops a day from the bottle and I must say its been over a year sense I purchoused these and I havent even scratched the surface. 

Its a lot of bang for my buck if you ask me, and I'm all about making my almighty daller stretch! well kiddies I have to be leaving you but I will return! As always keep it classy.

A Girl can Dream Vol. 1

 Hello My lovelies,

After reading my friend and fellow blogger Jasmines post "On the Radar Vol. 1" I felt inspired to put some of the things I have been jonesing for here on the blog and make it a monthly thing.... well here goes nothing!! 

Dolce Mia Red Hot Girl Tuberose Shea Butter Natural Lotion With Organic botanicals, Yes I had the pleasure of trying this at my local Castco once and it was really moisturizing and smelled like a little slice of heaven!  It also appeals to my more pinup side with the adorable packaging how could any girl resist that label? Not only that it is made in Northern California, lotion is full of shea butter, fresh organic botanicals and natural seed oils that work tirelessly to sooth and improve skin. so sayith the product demonstration lady and amazon product information lol! 


 The next is the Strawberry Gal Spanish Lip Balm in Gold Art Nouveau Tin....Okay I'm a sucker for cute or interesting packaging but its made in a reproduction 1900's tin and its art nouveau one of my favorite art movements....any way its made in Spain with all natural ingredence and I've only heard good things....so sue me! 


Isn't this fabric lush, I am in love with this little jem! its a jewelry roll but I plan to buy two of them and use the second one as a makeup brush travail roll as well! its not that expensive so maybe I'll buy three and give one to my bestie Lolita! 


This is the more expensive side of my dream's....they are the Women Italian Leather Gloves Polka Dot Black/white, Lined in Silk By Solo Classe..... yes I dream of smooth like butter Italian leather gloves....some so perfict so delectably feminine and delicate it makes me purr with happyness just thinking about them. 


Last but not least the dress I covet this month is The Sugar Doll in Aqua Cherries dress by none other then mine and Lolita's favorite pinup Bernie Dexter!!!!!! My, My Bernie is amazing Lolita and I swear that she could sell us a paper bag full of dirt and we would buy it with a smile on our faces!!! needless to say we are big....BIG fan's of her's so its only right that the first dress on my dream list of the month start's with one of her's!

Quick Tips!

Hey there My lovely readers, 

your friendly neighbor hood Swag Queen Cherry here with a fast and easy tip to baby soft skin!!! Yes, you heard me right, baby soft skin in a matter of a week, provided you do this religiously. I know, but what's a little work for something that will have people talking? Anyhoo, here is the helpful tip that I was given the skivvy to by my instructor extraordinar  Ms.Misty.... and according to her, instead of toweling off right away after a shower or bath, lightly pat yourself dry so your not dripping wet, and while still damp start to put on your lotion. Now it will take some doing because your still technically wet but trust me my little chick-a-dee's, it works like a charm! 

Yes, after hearing this little tip-o-la I went home and gave it a go for a week, and I have to say my skin is so soft you wouldn't believe it! My skin not only feels more hydrated, its over all appearance is much better as well. Not only that, my skin stays hydrated longer. Yes, after two weeks of this wonderful new habit I have baby soft skin all over....from my head to my toes, yep, yep!!

Now I know what your thinking, my bathroom routine is already lengthy and time consuming, and this little additive will set you back at least three minutes on top of everything else. But I say to you, what's three minutes when you think of how baby soft and healthy your skin will be as a result! And really, results are all I really ask for and its free....well as far as you dont have to buy anything new, just the lotion you already use....details, details.... catch you lovelies later! 

And as always keep it classy...
