  Date: 2011.10.15 | Category: fragrance, video reviews | Response: 7

  Today I’m talking about Pacifica perfumes. This line is located here in the Pacific Northwest and was founded by Brooke Harvey Taylor and her husband, Bill.

  February 13th-20th:

  How was Valentine’s? I got a few bottles of perfume and chocolate, 2 things that make me very happy any time of the year.

It’s been a sunny weekend and today I’m going out to the Middle Eastern markets to pick up some groceries. And I’m going to the Indian market to get a dosa. Geez… Continue reading | 4 Comments
