My Breast Friend (nursing pillow)

I have to say this....I wish this had been invented when I had my daughter! The truth is I am not breastfeeding this time but find this pillow to be a lifesaver. It leaves my hands free to tend to the baby and do other things while he rests comfortable on the pillow. It is firm but very soft and comfortable and I LOVE the fabric. My husband even likes to use it(even though try getting him to admit it lol) Definitely a must-have for any new parent!

There is nothing better than exploring the world of niche perfumes and smelling unique! I have had plenty of time to review my favorites (so far anyway). Also please not im not going by notes stated by the site, instead I am going by what these smell like to my nose :

Bliss - The most realistic chocolate scent EVER. My co-workers thought i brought brownies with me to work! It is a deep cocoa smell but genuine and laced with what I think is a pinch of hazelnut to add that perfect touch. It does last awhile but I went through my bottle in a MONTH! Yes its that drool worthy. Too many times I have smelled fake chocolate fragrances in perfumes and body lotions and this is worlds apart from that.

Obtala - Again AMAZING fragrance! It smells like you just cracked open a coconut, have sipped the milk inside and are waving a nice thick chunk of coconut meat under your nose. I can smell the shea butter but lightly - it adds a cool watery tone to the fragrance. This lasts a very long time, its perfect all year round and excellent alone or for layering with other tropical scents. I have never smelled anything this good with coconut before!

Cockaigne - Picture sitting down at an expensive eatery on a Sunday morning and the waiter has just put a huge pile of delectable cinnamon rolls right in front of your eager hands. I get mounds of yellow cake mixed with cinnamon however its not very sweet which makes it wearable. This is a complete comfort scent but soooo yummy!
