Our New Fall Fragrance -- Pumpkin Pie and Lavender Solid & Roll-On Perfume from Urbbody

We normally don’t stray from our tried and true fragrances, but when Cate from Urbbody offered us the opportunity to try her Pumpkin Pie and Lavender Perfume, we didn’t think twice! With the marriage of spicy pumpkin pie and sweet aromatic lavender, who wouldn’t want to smell this tantalizing! This fragrance comes in a solid and a roll-on perfume. Meg tried the roll on; Kir tried the solid… 

Roll-On Perfume

To me, the smell of pumpkin pie is the epitome of fall – it embodies cooling temperatures, the changing color of leaves, firesides, and family. The scent of lavender reminds me of my mom – we always had lavender growing in our yard growing up and she would make dried lavender sachets to tuck in our drawers. The combination of the two in this roll on perfume is intoxicating! At first roll the scent has strong lavender top notes with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Throughout the day though the pumpkin pie and spices make a debut and linger about on wrists, earlobes, and necks. This is my current go to fragrance and I will be wearing it for the rest of autumn!

 The rollerball perfume glides on skin effortlessly, while the fragrance absorbs quickly without leaving any trace of a sticky residue. The packaging is clean, simple, and professional. I’m looking forward to trying some of Urbbody’s other products in the future!

Solid Perfume

This Pumpkin Pie and Lavender Solid Perfume is perfect for Autumn. It smells warm and inviting with a hint of pumpkin pie and lavender. What more do you want during this time of year. Not only does this solid perfume smell amazing, but this scent of Pumpkin and Lavender are the top "arousing" scents to (straight) men (time to cuddle *hint hint). This wonderful perfume is handmade with beeswax, lavender essential oil, fragrance oil, vitamin e, and meadowfoam oil. My husband absolutely loves this smell!

Now if you're like me and never used a solid perfume before do not get turned off! I was a little skeptical at first just because I had never tried any solid perfume, but I am actually thinking I prefer a solid perfume over a spray now. Don't be afraid, I promise you will enjoy it! 

This product is perfectly sized to carry in your purse without taking much space!

This perfume is so soft without any leftover oily residue!

Soak, Spritz, & Exfoliate with Natural Garden Soaps by Paula Parrish

It has been one of those weeks! Between working with my hubby at our law firm and doing contract work for another attorney, I feel like I’ve been going a million miles a minute – and in heels no less! 

A good foot soak is exactly what I needed after this hectic week and this Jasmine Fizzy Foot Soak from Natural Garden Soaps really hit the spot! A few spoonfuls of this pale pink foot soak in a tub of warm water and I was on my way to some relaxation! The soak left my feet soft and smooth – and my favorite part – no oily residue on my feet or the tub! The water had a slight floral scent, but was not over powering like some jasmine products I have tried in the past. Paula Parrish, the mastermind behind the business, includes dried organic jasmine flowers in her soak, which for me, added a fairytale touch to this product! Who doesn't want to soak in a tub of flowers? 

 

Paula also creates an incredible Lavender Rose Facial Toner. This toner smells like what I’d imagine a morning stroll through an English garden would smell like – fresh and dewy with hints of fresh lavender and rose petals. I drenched a cotton ball in the elixir and swiped it across my face. It picked up all the oils and grime from my day and made my skin glow. I’ve even spritzed my face a few times throughout the day for an afternoon pick me up. The lavender is soothing and the rose petals are energizing. I’m planning on bringing this product with me on my next plane trip so I look fresh and put together when I land. 

I love hand crafted artisan soaps and this Honey Bee and Oatmeal soap is one of the best I’ve tried! The soap smells like milk and honey and features big oatmeal clusters that serve as gentle and natural exfoliates. The soap leaves skin feeling clean and doesn’t have any perfume in it, making it perfect for the mornings so I can apply my go-to fragrance. 

The products I sampled from Natural Garden Soaps were wonderfully crafted and beautifully packaged! With the holidays just around the corner, I’d recommend stocking up on some specialty gifts for any of the ladies in your life!
