Panda Bear Hat


Sara wanted me to make her a beanie with animal ears. I have never done one before so I had no idea how to make it. I looked online and at the book store but didn't find anything that helped me. So I finally decided to just make a normal beanie and add the ears. It didn't turn out so bad after all. She loves it! and she looks very cute with it too. Now Amanda and Issi want me to make one for them too...great!

My Perfume Evolution

In my Teen years:
My first perfume ever was Paris from Yves Saint Lauren. My friend Sarah gave to me for my birthday and it was instant love. I still go to Sephora sometimes and spray it on me. It reminds me of my youth, of those years when life was simple and there was no worries. Ahhh...Sweet memories!


Around the same time I discovered Musk by Alyssa Ashley. I liked it, but didn't use too much.

And another one: Anais Anais by Cacharel. Almost everybody I knew back then had it.

In my Twenties:
My first perfume as a "grown-up" was Eternity by Calvin Klein. I was so obsessed with it!...until I got pregnant with Amanda. I don't know what happened during the pregnancy but I started feeling nauseated every time I used it. It got so bad, I couldn't stand the smell and gave it to my sister. I still (after 12 years) can't stand the smell of it.


In my Thirties:
I've used Rush by Gucci. It was ok for me, but every time I used it, I had lots of complements from people telling me how good I smelled.

I also had Burberry. I really liked it, but I think lots of people liked it too. So I stoped wearing it just because of that.

And now...I've been using Narciso Rodriguez for the last three years...I love it! It is so feminine...I really feel good when I wear it. I wish it wasn't so expensive so I can wear it daily!

I have both, Narciso Rodriguez for Her Eau de Parfum and Musc collection eau de parfum intense.
