A wee random sampling of goals from my bucket list:
- Have a massive balloon drop from the ceiling, like at the end of David Bowie’s Modern Love video
- Achieve total and complete self-awareness (not likely, but a girl can dream)
- Twirl through a field of blooming freesia (assuming my allergy meds are working, of course).
Thanks to Philosophy Field of Flowers Perfumed Shower Gel ($16) and Ultra-Rich Body Lotion ($24), I can *almost* cross that third one off my list.
Why freesia? It’s one of my favorite flowers — so hopeful, innocent and optimistic.
Both the frothy shower gel and the rich body lotion leave a lovely scent that lingers on my skin for hours. They smell exactly (aren’t the bottles adorable?) the way I imagine that field would smell, like a mix of springtime dew and sunshine as far as the eye can see. 🙂
Unfortunately, both products are a little more expensive than I’d like, but the scent — oh, the scent. It’s intoxicating! Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: B+

Hi Karen! I just realized I haven’t been on your site in a few months (I know – shame on me!)
Now I have to catch up on all your posts! =P

Hi Tokyostargirl,
How are you?! What’s new on your end? I hope that things are well. 🙂
This is so tantalising but Philosophy is very overpriced in Australia!
Maybe I’ll have a sniff when this comes out over here.
Hi MichikoFliz,
I hope you do. It’s a lovely scent.
I love the bottles! So cute! This would make a great gift…
Hi Tiffany,
Oh, totally! The scent is really light, too, so I’m guessing it would appeal to a lot of women.
love philosophy products! The bottles above look so cheerful. I think I may have a way to help you achieve one of yer bucket list goals of “Achieve total and complete self-awareness”. It’s a whole bunch of complicated! I’ll e-mail you 🙂 Btw beautiful cat! 😀
Hi Mish,
LOL, whatever it is I hope it doesn’t involve doing yoga in a hot room (long story).
That’s Tabs, btw. He’s the cat that turned me into a crazy cat lady.
How cute are those bottles? Ah yes, the smell of freesias…now that spring’s popping up here at head-quarters, my garden will be blooming with them. Wanna come twirling with me? 😀

Hi Marce,
How lovely! I bet they smell so good when they’re in full bloom. Are you an avid gardener? I’ve only grown tomatoes and houseplants, but I enjoy it.
The scent sounds wonderful! And the bottles are very pretty too.

Hi Gio,
It’s a very fresh, springy scent. I hope you try it!
