Curious by Britney Spears Review

This perfume became a hit since its release in 2004. Aside of it being by Britney Spears' , I have to say that as a celebrity this perfume, this fragrance doesn't disappoint.


According to Fragantica:
'The composition is based on the notes of white flowers surrounded with vanilla and musk nuances. It opens with fresh lotus, mouthwatering pear and magnolia. The intensive floral heart is composed of tuberose, jasmine and pink cyclamen. The sensual base is composed of musk, vanilla and precious woods'

Curious is a girly, fruity-sweet, fun, fresh, clean, happy and a young smelling scent. It has a fruity-floral sweetness (no citrus) to it which is quite nice and throughout wearing it, it's not cloying. To my nose, the noticeable notes are jasmine and pear. And as it tones down the vanilla, musk and woody notes starts to settle in. As far as I can say, it's got this 'typical celebrity scent' (I don't know but I guess celebs are into sweet scents), but hey! it's pretty and it's nice. As long as you put the right amount of the juice of course. Curious is a well balanced fragrance, it doesn't get too sweet or too musky, even overtime it stays just right.

If you're looking for a clean slightly sweet fragrance but don't want to smell like a walking lollipop, this might be something for you. Remember, to love (or hate) a perfume is to do it with time. When you test a perfume, I recommend to let the fragrance sit on your skin for at least an hour, so that you'll know how the scent develops with your body chemistry and how it evaporates over time (to know whether the perfume is long lasting)

Happy sniffing!

Living with Braces and Retainers (Wire/Hawley vs Clear/Essix)

How much of you has gotten braces and retainers? Yep some of us have been through it all. May it be for health reasons or for the sake to get that perfect smile. Whether you're still wearing it, going through the retainer phase, let's agree that those years are just about discipline! The discipline of actually cleaning your teeth in a way you kind of never did before (not saying that you never clean your teeth before, omg that would just sound bad, why am I even writing this? lol never mind, ignore the voice in my head babbling. So, I meant cleaning in a good way, seriously!), you get used of more that just one tool to clean your teeth, that mental preparation of facing the facts that some of your teeth must be taken out, monthly visits to the dentist (my dentist is a living witness of me growing up), wearing retainers everyday, cleaning them, put it in the case and try not to lose it honestly. So well, I am going to share you bits of my story. I had had braces for 6 years

Skin journey: How I cured my skin. I went French!

Dear readers, Ever since I moved to the UK I realize that my makeup consumption has increased quite drastically. Trust me I did wear makeup, but just as simple as setting powder and some BB cream if I am in the mood. Heavy make-up special occasions only. But this past year I have been using makeup pretty much everyday. BB cream, sometimes foundation, concealer, not to forget I also use a primer underneath, you name it. My skin type is basically sensitive and acne-prone. So if any product does not work on my skin, just wait a few days and zits will start to come. I knew that. I was just stubborn. You see like many of you, I see makeup as fun. Who doesn't like looking 'better' right? But from the accumulation of makeup I have worn over the past few months, I have successfully grown and harvested myself an amount of zits and oh the bonus, acne scars! It sounds disgusting, I know. Apologies. For all of you having had acne, yes, yes. It is frustrating! It is painful and c
