Ladies-

I am looking for a new perfume for my better half. She's been wearing Victoria Secret Pink for years and years. Any suggestions of something she may like in that vein?

My two favorite are Grace (which is sold at Nordstrom, Macys, Dillards (I"m guessing names...higher end stores) and then my favorite is Bvlgari (pronounced Bull...Gar....ie) Soft and pretty, never offensive, wonderful stuff.

Well, if your wife is like me, she has to pick out something like that herself. Different scents react on different people. Well, differently- so shed probably want to sample it, etc.

If she's hinted though, I like happy by Clinique.

Edited to add, I told a girl she smelled good today and asked her what she was wearing. She said it was "be enchanted," by bath and body works.

Try love struck by Vera Wang.

But yeah so hard as different people can't wear it, so best to take her shoppi g stray a few and find out which ones suit her after letting her wear then for awhile.

I love Forever Red from Bath and Body Works, Poppy by Coach and Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture.

My perfumes are all by Philosophy- they're perfectly understated yet significantly unique from what others tend to wear. Right now my favorite is Falling In Love.

I have a ton of perfumes, some of my favs are my insolence by guerlin sold at nordstroms,

Vera wang princess is always nice, romance by Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs daisy, but my new all time fav is flowerbomb by viktor Rolf. I would prob recommend the last.

FYI I tend to like softer smells. If that helps.

I'm allergic to most perfumes, killer going through the perfume isle. Lol. I love the Angel sense at Victoria Secret. I do agree that she should pick what she likes. You could be spending a lot of money for something she might hate.

I'm a Philosophy addict, too. All their scents are very smooth. Great if you don't like heavy scents.

OP, you have probably already sorted this out, but in case you're still looking, Sephora sells a gift set of 10 perfume miniatures that comes included with a certificate good for a full-size bottle of whichever fragrance from it that she likes best: http://www.sephora.com/collector-s-edition-fragrance-sampler-for-her-P299440?skuId=1369479

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
