Celebrities, fashion designers and others develop and market perfumes, from affordable and trendy to posh and pricey. Experts claim each scent will respond uniquely on each individual, producing an individual fragrance.
My favorite scent is probably Tresor by Lancome. This scent can be tricky to find, but the sweet and subtle blending of roses and other florals is quite special.
For every day use, I also like Lady Stetson. As a horse enthusiast, why not?

What are three things that you are looking forward to?
Here are my answers:
1) Next week
My daughter has applied to college, and she hopes to receive an answer on admissions next week. The admissions committee at her first-choice college is scheduled to meet on Tuesday to review her application. I am looking forward to the answer, as is our whole family.
Who wants to agree with me in prayer for a good report? Thanks!
2) Spring break
Our school spring break begins with Good Friday and lasts a full week. (Actually, our spring break lasts nearly ten days, if you count the weekends that bookend the break.)
I am looking forward to a less hectic schedule, with the kids out of school for a week.
3) Easter
Easter is my all-time favorite day of the entire year. And why not? Easter is the day we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord. It’s the hallmark of our Christian faith. Without Easter, Christmas and every other day would mean nearly nothing. It’s all about the resurrection and the hope of eternal life.
For what did St. Patrick stand?As glasses are raised on St. Patrick's Day, do we know why this holiday exists?"The Irish are lifting a glass, To cheer every lad and each lass, As the leprechaun jigs, In-between wishful swigs, May your joy be beyond all trespass...."
Leprechauns, be warned. On St.Patrick's Day, we may all pretend to be a wee bit Irish, whether our bloodlines contain Emerald Isle origins or not. St. Patrick's Day offers everyone an excuse to claim Irish roots, at least until the party ends.
Need a teacher’s guide to St. Patrick’s Day? Try these fun holiday ideas in the classroom, at home or at a St. Patrick’s Day party or gathering.Your little leprechauns will have a great green time.
