I had hear about how wonderful Jo Malone fragrances were for ages, but had never purchased one-- or even taken a whiff! But when I read about this fragrance, I knew it would be my perfect fall scent. With notes of ambrette seeds, sea salt and sage, this is the fragrance that will take you from summer into fall and beyond.

This Jo Malone website describes the fragrance perfectly:


And it truly is a rugged, earthy perfume. The scent is fresh thanks to the sage, with earthy notes from the ambrette seeds, while a hint of salty air brings it all together. But be warned: if you like fruity or floral scents, you won't find them here. After being a strictly body spray girl for the entirety of summer, it was a nice change to go back to the heavier notes of a perfume.

There is one less-than-stellar thing about this otherwise amazing scent: it only lasts for a couple of hours before it needs to be reapplied.

But if this sounds like your type of scent-- and trust me, if you're looking for an earthy scent you want to try this-- the fragrance can be purchased from the Jo Malone website, with a 30mL bottle costing $60 and a 100mL bottle costing $120.

It's official... I'm back from hiatus! Hold your excitement. I went back to university on the 18th of August and, as those who have been following me for a while know, that also meant I went back to work. I needed a few weeks to get into the swing of things before I could properly blog, but now I think I'm settled into the routine of class, work, class, work, tiny smidge of social life, class, work. It's time to add blogging to the schedule again.

The little one had her tail.

But, now that we're talking about university and work, I have to wonder... Why can't 'cat person' be a career path? Okay, so I know that I would probably want a little more out of life, but some days I think a good year of coffee, cat cuddles and Netflix would be absolute perfection. Why is 'cat lady' seen as such a bad thing nowadays? As an official owner of two fluffballs, I totally understand the appeal of wanting all the cats.


Okay, so the real purpose of this post was to ask for forgiveness for my hiatus and try to win you over with a few cat pictures. Did it work?
