Here Today, Still Here Tomorrow

I love to ask questions. I’ve always had a fascination with what makes people tick, and whether or not they think about the same things I do. (Clearly, no one does, but whatever.) I guess that’s why I got my degree in philosophy. So here’s my question of the day ...

If you could make a deal (sans devil) to forever stay at your current weight, would you take that opportunity?  You could eat whatever you wanted and never gain a single ounce.  Of course, you could diet to kingdom come and never lose one either.  Hope you liked what the scale said this morning 'cuz, with the exception of injury or illness, your weight would never fluctuate.  Would you make that deal?

OK, I really wanna know.  So, if you’re reading this, you MUST answer.  I’ll know if you don’t.  I have ways. ;-)

*Product Review:  Pacifica Indian Coconut Nectar Perfume

Moving on ... I tried this perfume in the Sephora and was taken by the islandly, tropical vanilla-coconuty goodness of it.  However, when I layered on the body butter, I thought it great in the tube, but a little reminiscent of Play-Dough on the skin.  As a result, I decided not to purchase and went on my merry way to the next store on my shopping journey of self-discovery.  Not 5 minutes later, some young man was telling me how wonderful I smelled.  I rethought my initial hesitation.  I purchased the 1.2 oz. Spray Perfume ($22) and .33 oz Roll-On ($12) online.  In love I fell.  When paired with my overpriced, bought-in-the-middle-of-a-career-crisis Pure Fiji Coconut Body Butter, they meld perfectly.  The fragrance is definitely sweet, definitely desserty, and a very vanilla with a splash of coconut. Not overly coconuty, just the right amount.  The description says it also contains a creamy Vetiver, but since I have no idea what the heck that is, I’ll have to take their word for it.  Additionally, they go on to mention that it is exotic and floral.  I may give them the exotic part, but I detect absolutely no hint of floral, which to me is a definite plus.  At any rate, the spray is delightful and lasts a couple hours or so.  The roll-on doesn’t last nearly as long, but it gains points for easy transportability, giving me the opportunity to touch-up my scent throughout the day.  I did cave and buy the $5 (3 oz.) Body Butter in the store.  I still think it smells a little like children’s malleable play stuff, but it works well as a hand cream.  It’s funny, though I’m enjoying this line, it’s not my absolute favorite fragrance.  But, EVERY time I wear it I get compliments, mostly from men.  Maybe it makes them visualize you lying on a tropical beach, with nothing but your string bikini and this perfume between your smooth, round flesh and the warm, white sand. Hey the product description did say it's a “warm and sultry blend”.  I guess it’s an imagery instigator.  Forget the genie, I'll take the bikini-in-a-bottle any day.  For all the benefits of skimpy swimwear, without actually having to cram your big butt into it … 4 ½ Stars.
