    • Thirteen on Thursday: 13 Favorite Perfumes

      Posted at 9:12 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on October 8, 2015

      metal13

      Thirteen on Thursday. Okay, okay, it should be Thursday Thirteen. I’m not sure who runs the new Thursday 13 site nowadays, so I’m giving this post a different name. I like to be different.

      Perfume:

      What kind of perfume do you like? Guys, are you stumped when it comes to buying perfume for your lady? I like perfumes that aren’t too sweet or flowery,

      perfume bottles

      but are subtle and long-lasting. I love when someone says, “Mmm, I’ve never smelled that perfume before.” This is why I wear my signature perfume. It’s semi-popular, and once in a while I’ll come across someone else wearing it. I smile. They also make one for men that smells just as yummy and sexy.

      One day I got out of my car in a parking lot, and a guy who passed me, took a minute to say how much he loved my perfume. He wore a big smile, I might add. With a pleasant thank you, I moved on. 😉 This happens often.

      Do I wear all the perfumes on this list? No. In truth, I only have a couple favorites that I wear on a regular basis–#1 and #2, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like many kinds.

      Some of my favorites:

      1. My signature perfume. I never tell.
      2. La Vie e belle Lancome It drew my attention because one of my heroines is Italian and she says: La Vita e Bella – Life is Beautiful. Of course, I do own this one. I had included a sample size of this in a Bull Rider Series gift box once.
      3. Chanel No 5 Chanel (Will always be one of my favorites)
      4. Flowerbomb Viktor & Rolf
      5. Cashmere Mist Donna Karan
      6. Chantilly Houbigant (For the memories it evokes)
      7. Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme Fragrance Dolce & Gabbana
      8. Sensuous Estée Lauder
      9. B. Balenciaga
      10. Juicy Couture Hollywood Royal Couture (Packaging is lovely)
      11. Live Colorfully Kate Spade
      12. bella Vince Camuto (pretty packaging)
      13. White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor
        0_o Oh, no! I can’t stop at thirteen...
      14. Paris Yves St. Laurent

      Not that I can afford to buy all this perfume, but I like it for different reasons. Some come in unique packaging, while others have sexy TV commercials. ❤ Of course, they all smell delicious! Really, it doesn’t take much to please me, but maybe, just maybe, this could be the way to my heart. Oh, and cashmere, the real stuff not the perfume.

      Have a fantabulous day.

      13 Things About Tristan Carlson~Hero in my New Release~ Cowboy Boss and his Destiny, with Quotes from the Book

      How did it get Thursday already? My computer says Thursday so it must be time for another Thursday 13 post. Thanks for stopping by.

      1. He’s lived on the Double Dutch Ranch for ten years.

      “I’ve been here ten.” He guided her toward the barn. “I’ll fill ya in about it later. I gotta get to work.”

       2. Tristan’s dad taught him ranching.

      3. His horse is a black mustang.

      “He’s a rescue horse and we make a great team.”

       

      4. He has a young daughter.

      “Destiny is four, well, nearer to five now, she’ll tell ya five.”

      5. He’s a single father.

      6. Tristan has two brothers.

      7. His mom lives with him.

      He snapped his gaze to her. “I live with my mother.”

      8. In addition to ranching, he publishes a ranching magazine.

      9. He barely gets enough sleep.calendar

      Trying to make sense out of his calendar, she wondered when he took time for himself. His time frame for working on the magazine and ranch filled nearly the whole day, and he needed to pencil in time for sleeping. “He’ll burn out early at this rate.”

       10. Tristan hired Nora Trinity to assist with the ranching magazine to give him time to work the ranch.

      11. Six horses are in his personal barn.

       12. He has a boarder barn and boards horses.

      “Maybe one of the adult riders will still be around. Victoria, a real barrel racer, boards here, too.”

      13. When he loves— image.png

      “When I love, I love with everything within me.”

      Seeing him with his child, this was obvious. Did he mean…yes, he meant exactly what he said, and it was like he wanted her to know it went much deeper than only with his child. That whatever he loved, he loved with everything inside of him. “I sense that about you, Tristan. Your actions and words are heartfelt.”
