Naturally, after my post that stated I haven't forgotten comes a post 3 or 4 months later explaining the lag.
In the interim:
-we moved
-we continue to unpack
-my Lyme symptoms returned
-my work grew exponentially based on a contract we received
-I found a new doctor
-we got a cat
I'll post about the current medical stuff another time; this post is a return to P365 with photos I took about 2 weeks ago.
First, I photographed the contents of a giveaway package I won in a blog drawing. The UPS box held this:
Cute hatboxes huh?
The small one held a bath pouf...
...and the larger one held these:
See a theme? The drawing was sponsored by Pillsbury and I also received a coupon for free chocolate caramel brownie bites from the company. They're a new item.
Then, I ordered a few items from Sephora during their annual Friends & Family 20% off sale. One of the things I like about ordering from them is the free samples:
I got this revolutionary new hair cream developed by scientists at MIT to try- it's got a funky mode of action. (I'm still testing its effects on my hair.)
I also got an eau de parfum I'd had on my list for a while:
(ridiculously adorable packaging)
and more cute packaging:
I also bought some spiced and chocolatey bodywashes for the winter...
...and my favourite purchase was this Brown Sugar fragrance kit (lotion, parfum, and an amazing lip treatment). It doesn't actually smell like brown sugar- it's more of a combination of sugar, light lemon, and shea butter. Hard to describe but it's unique and delicate.
I have to get going but more updates will follow, and photos will trickle in too!
What have you been up to this fall?

I can almost smell these products right through the computer screen! Glad to see you back blogging, darling - even though I keep up with you on fb, I have missed your posts and pictures!
That package looks amazing! How are you liking the frizz cream? I looove it. And I am a huge fan of all fresh products--as long as I don't have to pay for them, haha.
I wear Tocca's Stella, but Giulietta is a close fave. :)
@ Elouise: i definitely recommend them! i'm going to try to blog periodically but work is going to continue being insane until March (!) so i can't promise anything, since my day is long and energy low.
@constance: thanks for subscribing! i feel like i know you a bit through Louise's blog. you always leave great coms.
i have a variety of Fresh gift packs on my wishlist for myself, since the full-size products are expensive on their own, and most of the kits have half full size and half trial size for a very reasonable price. they're a new favourite brand, and an indulgence!
I'm still trying different uses of the frizz cream but i do see a difference. (i'm kinda doing it out of curiosity and also because several of my nearby friends have complained of the same hair issues, so i thought i'd test-drive this for all of us.) and i haven't tested the Giuletta yet due to all the other tester vials i'm trying to use up. it's rather pricey for my range but my most perfume-knowledgeable friend swears by them.
How's the kitty?
