The Loveliest Day Winners
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I got so involved with our activities here like making heart shaped pizzas, baking strawberry cookies, transforming the girls bedroom into a jungle to make a realistic environment for their new dollar store stuffed monkeys complete with paper vine hammocks, paper jaguars, and paper spider webs (you know typical Valentine's Day stuff :) ) that I lost track of time.
I'm happy to announce (and the girls were more than than thrilled to pick) the winners who will each receive a $30 gift credit to my shop. Congrats Mary and Pat C.! Ladies, please send an email to me and let me know if you'd like your credit to my main shop or my Etsy shop. Thanks so much everyone for all the wonderful comments!!

The Loveliest Month - Day 5
Ok, I'm going to keep this short and sweet today because it is a Saturday and I know you all have things to do! Truthfully, I was shopping all day with my daughters and I'm totally drained. They had money that they've been saving that just needed to be spent at the toy story so I was at the mercy of two indecisive almost seven year old girls.
Today's scent has me longing for spring. It is the ever so romantic Forgotten Rose. There is a forgotten rose garden, tucked away and hidden among the lush greens where the roses now grow wild and rowdy. The morning sun dances in the dew drops that are sprinkled on the heavy blooms.
Forgotten Rose has been reformulated slightly for re-release.
Notes of Red Rose, Dew, Green Leaf, and Ozone.

The Loveliest Month - Day 3
To celebrate their childhood glee, today calls for something a little sweet, a little fun, and a little innocent....like a first crush...or Wylde Ivy's Crush. Today I'm featuring my third limited edition love inspired scent for this month.
Crush is the scent of airy tendrils of sugar, hints of ripe blackberry bushes, the mingling of pink candy lollipops and pure vanilla, with just a touch of sheer musk bring visions of the sweet innocence of that first crush on a summer day.
Crush is available in Perfumes, Lotions, Creams, Body Oils, and Scrubs through February. Find Crush along with the rest of this year's Valentine's Day lineup in my Scent of the Month Shop.

The Loveliest Month - Day 2
Today I'm featuring the second of this month's six limited edition love inspired scents and the other half of my starcrossed lovers duo. Meet Isolde's Wish.
Isolde's Story:
It was never easy for her. She never had power over her love that grew for Tristan. She belonged to the king. She new her place, yet some strange force took a hold of her heart along the way and it was no longer hers to control. She lived for her secret moments with Tristan. It was as if her heart only beat for him, yet it broke every time they met.
She watched the flowers sway slightly by the waters edge, their reflection danced in the water. Tristan wanted to leave with her. He was expecting an answer. He should have been waiting here already. A weight grew in her chest as she began to wonder if he would come. Panic broke through the weight when she began to question if she'd ever see him again at all. She felt her chest tighten at the thought, her eyes burned. Could she even survive without her Tristan? As she questioned this, a movement caught her eye and Tristan's form stepped into the clearing. One look from him and she knew she would never survive without him, yet she still didn't have an answer.
The Scent:
Isolde's scent is the lingering warmth of Tristan on her skin, his love which gives her hope and destroys, white flowers, moonlight, and love.
Notes of: dewy jasmine, cedar wood, sandalwood, faded rose petals, almond flowers, vanilla, saffron and musk.
Tristan and Isolde:
Romeo and Juliet's tragic love story is the most famous of all time and who could forget about the tales of King Aurthur, Lancelot and Guinevere? Before Romeo died for his Juliet, before Lancelot deceived his King, Tristan loved Isolde. Tristan and Isolde's 12th century tale of love and tragedy has been told and retold in countless forms from poetry to operas and in many different versions. I am particularity fond of the version that has Tristan and Isolde mistakenly and unknowingly drinking a love potion and falling desperately in love while he is taking her to marry his uncle and adopted father. It is a terrible love triangle. They all care about each other, Tristan to his uncle who loves him as a son, Isolde to her husband (Tristan's uncle) because he is such a good man, and of coarse the unstoppable love between Tristan and Isolde that destroys them all.
Isolde's Wsh is available in Perfumes, Lotions, Creams, Body Oils, and Scrubs through February. Find Isolde's Wish along with the rest of this year's Valentine's Day lineup in my Scent of the Month Shop.

The Loveliest Month
The dull grey cold of January has finally given way to random peeks of sun over more snow and ice for me here. Oh I miss sunshine and warmth and flip flops. Somehow, though the temperatures still linger around the single digits far more often then I'd like, February seems happier and more inviting. There is the promise of spring but also plenty of festive events to keep us occupied. February is a heavy birthday mother for me, including my daughters and husband. Let's not forget Valentines Day and that ever elusive winged diaper baby hijinks.
I've picked out some of my most loved and best selling love inspired scents of the past to release this month as Scents of the Month. There are six limited edition scents this month! To keep this post short and sweet, I'll feature a new one each day.
Right now is the best time to stock up on all the fun new love inspired scents as well as your winter favorites. Use coupon code LOVEMEPERFUME to get a free perfume with orders over $65. Simply add at least $65 of merchandise to you shopping cart, then add the perfume of your choice. Use coupon code LOVEMEPERFUME to adjust your order total.

First up we have one half of my favorite starcrossed lovers couple, Tristan and Isolde. Romeo and Juliet's tragic love story is the most famous of all time and who could forget about the tales of King Aurthur, Lancelot and Guinevere? Before Romeo died for his Juliet, before Lancelot deceived his King, Tristan loved Isolde.

The Scent:
Tristan's scent is the comfort of the forest woods, the warmth of exotic saffron and cinnamon, a touch of dried rose petals. A treacherous tryst and undying romance, Tristan's Desire is wonderfully unisex.
Notes of: cedarwood, teak, sandalwood, faded rose petals, almond flowers, saffron, cinnamon bark, vanilla and musk.

Tristan's Story:
Tristan moved easily through the low branches and tangles of overgrown brush. He'd picked his way along this path by nothing more then the starlight many times before. He quickened pace. His feet seemed to move of their own accord now, perhaps driven by the the hope rising in his chest. Would he find her there tonight? In his mind, he could see her there now bathed in the pale light of the moon. Begrudgingly, he slowed. So close, he used caution. He moved now without a sound, carefully picking his steps. He paused at the old oak. His hands upon the callous bark he steadied his breath. A knot grew in is stomach. Why did he feel that he could not live without her? A thousand vile thoughts rushed into his head. If Isolde had chosen not to meet him, did his uncle really know...he ended those thoughts as he felt his strength begin to leave him. He had to be strong. In a quick movement that required more courage then charging into battle, he sidestepped from behind the tree and entered the clearing.
In the distance, Isolde's small figure cloaked in blue, stood beside the water. Even though the darkness enveloped her, could see the look in her eyes. He knew.
