With notes of Italian bergamot, mandarin, rose, jasmine and sandalwood, it almost makes me feel like royalty.

    Would love to win this! The bottle is so cute!

    P.S. Karen: I have had an amazing love affair with navy blue nail polish recently, but not as great a time getting it off my nails. Do you recommend a nail polish remover that works well with darker nail polish?

  2. 2. Diana Kim said, on September 24th, 2009:

    I love Queen Latifah as a Cover Girl spokesperson! Oh, and I remember the old school days of when she was in Living Single. Ah..the 90’s :)

  3. 3. Ellie said, on September 24th, 2009:

    I think the bottle is adorable too! And bergamot is my favorite!
    On a totally unrelated note, I parted my hair on the other side yesterday- and it was AWESOME in a totally unexpected way.

    P.S. I’m with Sarah, I’d love any tips on getting dark polish to come off!

    Hi Karen:
    Like your blog very much!
    Question 1: What are some safe(not too strong and anoying or offensive) fragrences that 99% of women will like? I have only 4 fragrances that I like, Knowing(esteelauder),Eternity(calvin.K),Jadore, Passion dance for women By Avon discontinues but this is my favorites of all(love to get a subsitute but don’t know how and where?
    Question 2: Are high heels safe for Knees in the long run(I am short and little over weight, I look better with heels)?
    Question3: Which part of body should we put perfume on, and also is it safe to put perfume on your skin/body or it should only be applied to cloths?

    Thanks so much!
    Maria
