Aromatherapy!!!

If buying a new outfit for a trip, back to school, graduation, a wedding,
or any special occasion, treat yourself to a new fragrance!
Just like you are bound to remember that outfit you wore, the music
the band played, the food that you ate, the atmosphere, the weather, or who you were with you will also remember that new scent, likely, every time you smell it for the rest of your life! Wow!!!
You can get a whiff of a certain scent and instantly remember the times when you smelled it before, or who was wearing it, even if it was many moons ago, am I right???
It is amazing how strong the sense of smell is!!!

I'm not saying you HAVE to splurge on a new bottle every time an event comes along. (Although I am cologne...a memory collector myself and must have the bottle!)
A less expensive option is to find a scent you love and get an item in the line like a shower gel, soap, a body spray or a lotion! If cologne, or body product's aren't your thing buy a new candle or a new shampoo in an aroma you love!

The outfit you bought may tear or fray, get too tight or soon be out of style but a fragrance...now that you can wear as often you like! But don't get into the rut of wearing the same fragrance all the time, everyday, for years! (Too predictable!!!)
It is great to have your favorite, or your "signiature scent", but altenate that with other fragrances you love, too! Go crazy! Where a different scent now and then!

Remember...too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing!!! Wear your fragrance lavishly but lightly! You don't want your fragrance to walk into the room before you do!!!

The Amazing Blue Sky

I just have to spread the word about this fantastic restaurant called Blue Sky in the recently renovated, historic Atlantic House Hotel in the blast from the past area of York Harbor, Maine. My husband and I happened upon it recently. Well, we didn't go there by accident, we went there because my husbands good friend, and former owner of a Portland eatery, bartends there. Bartends sound like an extreme understatement! He is like a drink magician! Add to that the stylish, cozy but sleek, elegant and expansive layout of the space and WOW, we were amazed! The place just went on and on! It has a brick oven area where you can watch a team of chefs firing up lots of tasty treats! If sitting at the bar you can listen to a jazzy vocalist singing her heart out on a porch overlooking the coastal strip.
To eat dinner there it could get a bit pricey but for a few delicious, filling appetizers and impressive cocktails at the bar we went away spending an oh-so-worth-it $60!
I, myself, plan on splurging and going there for dinner! After all, as the saying goes, you only live once and I want to live there!!!
