Dolce & Gabbana Intenso edp fathers day gift ideas cologne

Dolce & Gabbana Intenso edp is a warm, smoky floral scent which is masculine, inviting, and easy to wear during both warm, and cold weather. This is definitely a fragrance a man will reach for everyday, whether he prefers to wear after-shave, eau de parfum, or both combined.

Combining fragrance notes of Aquatic, Basil, Sandalwood, Lavender, and Moepel accord, Dolce & Gabbana Intenso edp offers a medium strength fragrance experience, which seems laced in light tobacco, that can easily be worn to the office, in tight quarters such as the theater, and for weekend casual activities. This is an all-around, wear anytime scent. Love that!

Although we tested out the eau de parfum, Dolce & Gabbana Intenso edp is also offered in an after-shave lotion, which my husband wants, an after-shave balm, deodorant stick, and a shower gel. There is also a gift set, online here, which is ideal as a Father’s Day gift, or graduation present. The gift set is also a great value since it is priced at $92.00 yet includes products from the collection with a combined worth of $115.00.

I love this fragrance on my husband, and fully understand why he also wants a bottle of the after-shave. It is a warm scent, which is masculine, and inviting. I definitely love smelling it on him! I am so glad he loves it too; it is always nice when you can agree on a fragrance!

Dolce & Gabbana Intenso edp can be found online here, here, here, here, and here. The after-shave can be found online here. The deodorant stick is online here. Intenso shower gel can be found online here.

I highly recommend the gift set! It has a sampling of the key items most men want in their daily fragrance. It is a great value, and a fabulous way to introduce Dad to Intenso. The gift set can be found online here, here, and here.

There is a gift with purchase when you spend $89 or more on any Intenso large spray online here as of today. This promotion could end at any time.

I hope you love this fragrance as much as my husband and I do! Happy Father’s Day!

My summer skin care routine

my summer skin care routine

Pictured from left: eye cream / neck cream / day cream / night cream / acne treatment / chapstick (flavor not online, also love cherry)

Skin care is so important all year long; but in the summer months, it becomes even more important. My kids are always outside; whether we are swimming, walking, playing sports, etc., summer is spent in the sun. This means using products with spf protection, and products which keep skin moisturized, are extremely important.

In order to keep my skin at its best, I live by ReVive skincare. They have the best neck cream, and face cream on the market; in my opinion. I have been using the neck cream for over ten years, and my neck looks fabulous! It also has spf protection, which is key here in California. Sun damage can make one’s neck look droopy over time; not to mention increase one’s risk of skin cancer.

ReVive’s face cream has also been a favorite of mine for over ten years. The night cream is something new for me. I just started using it less than two years ago. You can see my full review here. It is so good at repairing my skin overnight. It seems like it takes years off my skin every time I use it. Love love love it!

I have tried so many eye creams over the years. My all-time favorite is by Dolce & Gabbana. It firms up my skin, leaving it silky smooth, younger looking, and fully moisturized. Did I mention it minimizes lines too! Love that!

So you might be looking at my Chapstick and wondering, how does it fit in? Well, I have used Chapstick since I was five years old. It is the only lip balm I will use, and I love it! My favorite flavors are cherry, and strawberry. Sometimes I buy special edition flavors such as orange cream, raspberry, or pomegranate punch. I wish those special flavors were in the permanent collection! The orange cream is to-die-for!

I always joke that I have a combination of wrinkles and pimples on my face. Ugh, it is so true! I have combination skin, so it wrinkles, and gets pimples. It can be really frustrating. I had clear skin in high school, then as an adult, I started to get acne. I wish I had it in high school instead of my adult life, like the rest of the world! I swear I am the only GenX-er still getting breakouts. Ugh, so frustrating. My go-to acne weapon is the on-the-spot treatment pictured above. I love love love it!

What are some of your favorite summer skin care products?

WEN by Chaz Dean Cucumber Basil Tea edp review

Pictured: fragrance c/o WEN by Chaz Dean Cucumber Basil Tea edp

WEN by Chaz Dean Cucumber Basil Tea eau de parfum is a fresh, warm weather fragrance from WEN by Chaz Dean. This unisex scent contains fruity fragrance notes which combine to create a light, fresh scent perfect for warm spring days, and hot summer months. Love!

The eau de parfum combination of aloe, cucumber, basil, bergamot, black tea, and neroli, combine to make a long lasting scent which stays fresh, and light, from morning, until evening. I love the blend of notes which offer a clean fragrance experience that is not complex, just fabulous. Love that!

Chaz Dean’s beauty collection launched in 1993 with a line of conditioning shampoos which combine natural, not harsh, ingredients that help maintain your hair’s natural beauty, and oils. With the launch of his fragrance collection, Chaz Dean has remained true to his beauty collection mission to create, and provide, natural products which are good for your skin.

This is important because sometimes we never know what we are spraying on our skin! I love feeling confident about not using weird chemicals on my skin when I spray on WEN Cucumber Basil Tea edp. Who wants unknown chemicals seeping into their bloodstream through their skin? Not me! Not you either! This is why natural, not harsh perfumes are so important to me. I love WEN!

WEN by Chaz Dean Cucumber Basil Tea edp is ideal for warm, and hot weather. It is fresh, clean, and long lasting; which makes it perfect for the upcoming summer season. Since it is unisex, it is an easy gift to give for graduation, Father’s Day, an upcoming birthday, or to keep in mind for the upcoming holiday season at the end of the year. Love it!

WEN by Chaz Dean Cucumber Basil Tea edp can be found online here.
