Fresh - The Perfume Store for Perfume Addicts

Ever since a I was a little girl, I always want to smell good. Who wants to smell bad anyway? I like collecting perfumes, usually when friends and family ask me what can they bring for me coming back from out of the country, I would tell them to bring me a perfume. Any brand and any scent would do but one of my favorite is my cool water for woman I like it because of its light scent and its freshness.

I must admit I am one of those Perfume addicts and as one of those I always consider the following factors when I buy one:

First is the Scent, off course when it is just a gift from a friend or a family I usually do not mind but if I would be buying one for my self I would like it to be something fresh and light. Oceanic, Floral and Fruity or some of my favorite scents

Second is the Brand, yes, as I will add it on my collection I want it to be on a unique brand

Last but sometimes the most important for me is the Price, unfortunately, I am one of those who does not spend much but does not want to settle for an imitation. I do not have that much to spend for my perfume collection, but I do not want to resort to buying a knock-off or a cheap “smells just like the real thing” brand.
 

I am also one of those look for great deals until I heard about the...

Happy New Year 2013 - A New Year's Prayer

Happy New Year 2013

A New Year's Prayer

Lord, this year I want to change,
and I've said that in the past.
but now my prayer is different
'cause I understand at last.

I wanted my own way before,
I ignored your loving plans.
But now I'm putting everything
into your nail-scarred hands.

I promise to obey you
out of gratitude and love.
I won't be giving orders
to my Father up above.

I finally realize the truth
and so I've changed my prayer.
The safest place for me to be
is in your gentle care.

Please be my shepherd, Jesus,
that's all I ask of you.
In good times and in bad this year,
Take my hand and lead me through.

Amen.

 --Jack Zavada
