About Me

 Hi!

My name is Melissa, an Ivorian living in Northern Virginia, USA. I am in my twenties, married, and currently staying at home. I enjoy simple things and writing is one of them.

This blog is about little pieces of my daily life. Here I will dive into love, scents, books, and seasons. Almost like a journal. 

I hope you will enjoy the ride.

The scent of luck

Image
The first time I got a bottle of Chanel chance was a gift from my mother. I passed a difficult college exam and she gave it to me the morning of the result publication. I put it one and went to check my results and I pass the test. after that day, I decided to treasure and only use it on special occasions. I could be a dinner, a date, an interview, or on a flight. It became my little lucky talisman, a small ritual to attract luck.  I believe the first bottle of 50ml lasted me five years. Mostly because of the rarity of use. I am sure that if I could recall in the details, I probably wore Chance the first time I met my husband. On our fourth year anniversary, my husband got me a new bottle of Chanel Chance. He said, “I noticed that your bottle was empty “. My heart was full and I realized that two of the most important people in my life gave me this perfume.  I love the scent and I do feel like achieving everything when it put it on. I believe that if luck had a scent it would smell lik

Pumpkin and vanilla

How do I start telling you about my week? Well, it's been quite the same. I've been waking up pretty late around 11:30 am to 12:00 pm.  I know it is quite late and most of the day is gone when I find the strength to get out of bed. Apart from that, I've been baking lately, I am not the best but I do like the cake I baked on Tuesday, it was a cinnamon coffee cake. I follow the recipe from Martha Stewart on Pinterest.  I graduated with a Master and this year has not been favorable in my search for a job in Washington, D.C. So I've been living the housewife life for the last six months. But being a housewife is a bit boring, especially if you don't have any kids yet and only two friends that live in another state. During the summer, I use to go to the mall and walk in the park but with the cold coming, I've been stuck in the house most of the time. I think about blogging as a hobby to keep myself busy.  I gave myself some duty to accomplish next week, hopefully, th

Luxurious Shower

Image
  Hello wonderful people,  We all love a nice warm and relaxing shower. I decided to combine my love for luxury fragrance and feeling refreshed.  I ordered three bars of soap from luxury brands, and I am in love. Let's start at Hermes. I got the Eau de Merveilles ( I own the 100ml fragrance), which just cost $25 before taxes. I paid for shipping.   Now at Dior. I got Miss Dior Blooming scented soap ( hopefully my husband will offer me a 100ml bottle for Christmas, fingers crossed). It cost me about $26, came in a pretty Dior package that was free shipping. Finally at Chanel. I got the Coco Mademoiselle Fresh Bath Soap ( I own the 100 ml fragrance). It is a backorder on the website but I got mine in less than seven days. The price is $26 and it came in a cute Chanel signature box and free shipping. love love love, they smell so good. give it a try!
