The most amazing thing you will ever smell... #WoodWick

http://www.woodwick.com
My friend VB gave me a candle as a housewarming gift.  Sweet, right?  Well, this candle takes candles to a whole new level.

This candle smells so good, I carry it with me from room to room.  I sniff it when it isn't lit.  I light it all the time.

She got me the WoodWick candle Warm Woods trio, in Fireside, Redwood, and Sandalwood Clove layered scents.  The wooden wick crackles like a fireplace, and the scents transport me to the fun VB, LD, and I have had in cabins and on trips together.

Then I looked up the WoodWick collection online, and found out I can even get diffusers, car scents, and even vent clips in the Fireside scent.  I'm obsessed.  I want to buy a candle for every room in my apartment.  And smell them ALL THE TIME.

Fashion Steals... from #Walmart

You guys, I wish this was a sponsored post... because I am so excited about Walmart today.  I know, I know, it's Walmart.  But I stopped by there today to buy some Sheba cat food (Cally's obsession) when I remembered I needed some new leggings for all the travel I'll be doing next month.  Knowing you can score Danskin leggings for $8, I headed to their women's department... where I was promptly seduced by surprisingly stylish finds.

I am not opposed to buying clothes in unconventional places.  I'm always on the lookout, even on trips to Sam's Club.  Today, I was pleasantly surprised!

I bought a grey striped top (bought it two sizes too big to wear with leggings while flying), a chic dress with a great pattern and length appropriate for work, and a really cute color-blocked top that they offered in multiple colors.

The dress was under $18, and the tops were both under $10.  The color-block tee reminded me of something I'd seen at a department store.  The material feels good too.  And I walked out spending less than I would at Forever 21.

WINNING!  And I guarantee people will ask me where these pieces are from... and I won't hesitate to tell them.

Mean Girls (and Guys) #ProjectRunway

Make it shorter!  And twirly!
I'm done with Ven.  For real, from what he displayed tonight, he doesn't respect real women with curves.  He can keep designing his one-trick tailored looks for hangers and mannequins.  Ugh.  Don't say proportions are off!  They are REAL!

This was (obviously) the regular people challenge.  Not only that, these are people going through a makeover.  What an opportunity to change someone's life with fashion!

Since I've jumped ship from Team Ven, immediately I had high hopes for Dmitry, Melissa, and Sonjia. I felt like they've been growing on me the most.  As the episode progressed, I just couldn't tell who was winning or losing... I feel like Nathan, Alicia, and Fabio are at the bottom of the totem pole, with possibly Gunnar as another weak link.  But no matter how closely I watched, all the would tape was the personal interactions, not the construction, so until the runway I couldn't tell who I liked!
