Oil Fragrance: The Best Kind of Perfume

Oils, oils, oils. Anyone else obsessed with oils? I have talked about coconut oil, oils for your diffuser, and oils for your face here on the blog. Now let’s talk about oil fragrance. I purchased a couple of oil fragrances online a few months ago, and I am IN LOVE. The fragrance lasts so much longer than a regular spray perfume, and the smell is so much more rich. Plus, it’s so much better for your skin than alcohol based fragrance. Don’t believe me? Check this out via Ambre Blends:

Now let’s get to my ALL TIME favorite oil fragrance in the world. Yep, it’s that good. Egyptian Musk by Kuumba Made. I buy it at Whole Foods for $10.99, and it is just a bottle of pure magic. The scent is like no other. As a pre-teen and young teenager, I was obsessed with White Musk. Does anyone remember that fragrance? I LOVED it. Well, Egyptian Musk smells pretty similar and it’s much better for you than White Musk a la the above information.

I love the smell because it’s not overly perfume-y, you know, like a guy who has spritzed himself to oblivion in cologne because he thinks it’s sexy, or like someone who has just tried all of the perfumes at the duty-free shop at the airport. And yeah, that HAS been me before.

The musk blends in with your skin to give you a kind of custom smell. Ok, now this is starting to sound a bit creepy. But stay with me. It just smells sexy and clean, at least to me. I find myself smelling my wrists several times a day because it’s just so amazing. It’s elegant and chic because it is in no way overpowering.

Tip: apply the oil right after you get out of the shower, and it’ll stick even better. I like to do this with my facial oils as well.

So, if you are someone who wants to smell chic and elegant, you will love this fragrance.

xo, Lynn

past several days re-energizing with the things that light me up - HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you are in a funkโ€ฆ

1. Toner: I use a toner instead of washing my face in the AM as washing can be harsh (I only wash at night). This rose toner gently rinses away anything lingering on my face.

2. Vitamin C serum: omggg you guys, this is so good. You know SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic?! This product has the SAME ingredients and is $20 vs. $182. A HG

3. Hyaluronic Acid: A must for my dry skin without making me greasy.

4. Sunblock: 100% organic physical sunblock - wears beautifully under makeup

+ donโ€™t forget your neck!

Hereโ€™s what I did: 1. I stopped waiting for per Hereโ€™s what I did:

1. I stopped waiting for permission - and I got comfortable choosing myself by banishing limiting beliefs. 

2. Got crystal clear on my two sets of values and began to understand what I needed to shed and what I needed to focus on for fulfillment. Some of my core values are: fun, integrity, humor, and creativity. ๐Ÿ’“

2. Stepped into my authenticity and created new habits and patterns that have become automatic. 

And side note: this is ALWAYS a work in progress. In this season of life, I am so happy to say that I have created a life that feels aligned. One of the biggest motivators for me is my daughter and being able to dedicate much of my time to her and do things not only on the weekends (and not on a job I wasnโ€™t passionate about etc).

โœจYou can do this work too, and I am ao excited to be offering a FREE 8-week group coaching program, BE ALIGNED, where you will uncover your core vs. acquired values, understand them, receive coaching, and step in to your purpose and passion(s) in your life.
