My Vibe is anything that smells good, like candles, aromatherapy, diffusers, and fragrance oils.   These are the things that really make me feel relaxed and happy.  I have a nice collection of these products to ensure I have enough.

Sometimes, I go to Bath & Body Works, but their candles and other products can be expensive sometimes unless they have a sale.  But they do have some great-smelling products.  I love the smell of their candles.  I always catch a sale on their body sprays.

I love the Home Sick candles from Amazon.  They give a nice throw of fragrance all through your home.  About two or three years ago, I went to a party at my nephew's home and his wife had these fabulous diffusers.  

She had about three of them going at the same time.  I asked her questions about the diffuser, and she told me what kind to get and that you only had to add a couple of drops of scented oil and water to it.

Finding a bargain is what I am about so, I go to Temu to look for oils and candles.  This way I can stock up and save at the same time.  

Some shops only sell candles and I check them out sometimes when I am looking for something specific. 

The best times that I use my aromatherapy products are Mornings, late Afternoon, and Evenings.  This helps me to sleep a lot better.

When buying aromatherapy products, make sure that you aren't allergic to these products.  When you find a good product that doesn't bother your allergies stock up on them.

Aromatherapy is a good mood lifter.  Diffusers are perfect to use in the house while someone is sick because they will keep the air fresh.

Candles, oils, and diffusers help with stress and depression.   Aromatherapy is my vibe because it makes me happy.

Peony perfume from Zara

 Peony perfume from Zara

*This post is not sponsored.  I purchased this perfume with my own money.

I purchased this perfume from Zara.  The bottle is a nice size, and I only paid $17.90 plus tax.  I had been looking for a perfume that did not smell cheap.   After the holidays, I only had a little money after buying gifts, so I was searching for a nice-sized bottle of perfume that didn't break the bank.

I had never shopped at Zara because I thought their clothing would not fit me.  When I went to Zara, I went in there with an open mind.  I walked around the store and I saw a nice display of perfumes.  There were so many to try, and most of them I really liked.

  Sometimes I go to department stores, and I love their perfumes, but they are expensive, and sometimes you will buy a big bottle of perfume, and you will start to get tired of the fragrance.  This time, I took a chance, and I am glad that I did.

This perfume smells a bit like pear, amber, floral, and a hint of berry.  You only need a little, and it goes a long way. 

Perfumes from Zara would make a great gift because you are getting full-size bottles that are affordable.  Yet, you are getting a product that is top of the line in their presentation.

Zara's perfumes are suitable for women of all ages.  See, I am middle-aged, and I found one that is perfect for me.

This Peony perfume makes me feel and smell pretty.  I spray a little after my bath or shower, and the fragrance lasts throughout the day.

Next time you go to the mall, stop in Zara and smell this perfume and the others that they sell.  I am sure that you will find a fragrance that you will fall in love with.

I love to do my own nails at home

I love polishing my nails at home. I used to get my nails done at the nail shop, but not consistently.  I didn't like how the nails felt on me, and they would break very easily. 

 I am a cheapskate; I don't like to waste money.  Also, I am allergic to a lot of chemicals.  This means that I have to be very careful so I don't have a negative reaction.

For many years, I have been polishing my nails at home.  Once in a while, I will go to the nail shop to get a basic manicure with only nail polish. 

 There are so many nail polish brands.  I used to buy nail polish that cost one dollar, but I found them not to last very long.  For about three years, I have been using more expensive nail polish, and I love the results that I am having.  The polish lasts about a week or so.  

Even if the nail polish is 10 or 30 dollars, it is still cheaper than going to the nail shop. And you will have a more expensive-looking manicure. 

Now, I like to shop online at Beyond Polish because they carry all of the major brands, but they have some amazing prices, and they also have gift cards if you want to give nail polish as gifts.  I love going to my mailbox to get my nail polish without stepping foot in a store.  

I have a large collection of nail polish.  Actually, I do not need any more nail polish but I am constantly browsing for more.  I like that I don't have to stop by the nail shop to go and fix a broken nail.  

Most of the time I paint my nails about three or four hours before I go to bed to make sure that my nails are fully dry.  This helps the polish to set. 

After I get tired of a certain shade of nail polish, I donate it to Goodwill or an organization that deals with battered women.  I used to be in a battered women's shelter. I and the other ladies loved to polish our nails with nail polish that was donated.  That was such a self-esteem boost.  

If you have items to donate, contact a battered women's shelter in your area.  They will not allow you to come directly to the shelter, but they usually have donation boxes that they use.  This is such a blessing to women who have been displaced because of being battered.  

Beyond polish has other products besides nail polish.  They have hair products, makeup, jewelry, and tools, and they constantly have sales on their products. 

Check out my beautiful dreadlock wig.

Hello everyone, Happy New Year.  Well, I have been experimenting with new wigs.  I have Alopecia and I am experiencing more hair loss.  It seems like my dream of having thick luscious hair is just a dream.  I got stuck on wearing just one hairstyle when wearing wigs and I started getting bored and I needed to see if there were any other styles that would fit my style and lifestyle. 

 I started searching all over the Internet and I stumbled across this dreadlock wig.  I saw that a lot of sites had different variations of this wig.  Frankly, I was afraid to try it.

I went on YouTube to look at videos of women wearing dreadlocks wigs and I was really impressed at how natural they looked.  I saw a few that looked like a birdsnest, but a great deal of them really looked cute.  I said (this might work for me.)  I usually wear straight or curly wigs so this was a good change.  I looked on Amazon and I saw some in nice colors in a tight dreadlock or a soft one.  The soft ones are for me.  

I decided to try this wig in these pictures.  It looks like it is growing right from my scalp.  It is thick without being too much.  For so many years I wanted to wear my hair like this but my hair is too thin to make it look the way I want it to look.  This wig has combs in the back and both sides so I can make it stay secure on my head.

Boy, is this wig comfortable, and it is well made.  I am so glad that I took the chance to try this wig.  I was in McDonald's last week and the gentlemen behind me were saying how well defined that my locs were.  It doesn't look like a wig at all, and the longer I wear it the better it looks.  

They also sell these wigs on Temu and they are so affordable.  I plan on getting these wigs in different colors, to change up. If you are thinking about getting dreadlocks and you are not sure how it will look; you can try the dreadlocks wigs to experiment and to see if you want to get your dreadlocks done permanently.  They even have some nice ones for men.
