L’Occitane Rose & Violette

L’Occitane hand cream given as a Christmas gift from Cin!
This is a luxurious hand cream. 
Instantly moisturizes with a strong wonderful rose & violette fragrance. The violette notes definitely take center stage. Rose is there but more subtle. The scent actually reminds me of those violet candies Bloomzy sent me a few months ago!! Almost exact! It’s a very, very sweet smell like candy!
I enjoy keeping hand creams like this at work. Not only is it a must because of dry winter skin and the ultra-drying hand soap kept in the office restrooms, but it’s also something I can put on before a meeting. It’s more subtle than freshening up my perfume, but also still a nice surprise. I actually put some on before a meeting today and a coworker commented on my “perfume” and how wonderful it smelled. She was surprised when I told her it was just a hand lotion!

This week the Christmas gift from my parents arrived. It was food so I opened it right away. 
I would have waited if I had know it wasn’t perishable! 
Another very characteristic gift from my parents. Old-fashioned warm handmade gifts that’s usually food! 
I’m extra appreciative this year since I’ve been getting back into folk, natural, kitsch decor and lifestyle again. They ordered this year’s gifts from Lehmans. It’s a company that started out in 1955 as a hardware store that at first mostly catered to the Amish. They’ve expanded far beyond since then.
And hey! My first Le Creuset kitchenware item! BBQ sauces, pancake syrups, and homemade bayberry candles. They also sent a leather belt but it’s not pictured.
**Bayberry has long been associated with the Christmas season. Our rustic, olive-colored bayberry candles are handmade in the traditional way and give off a light, herbal aroma.**
That sounds nice~ I should light them for dinner on Christmas eve but also I want to keep them as decor…
