Cinnamon Vanilla and A Little Birthday Wish

Happy 21 Maura!!


This sweet beauty is my youngest...turning 21 today.  This is the little peanut who came dashing into the world three weeks early in just an hour and a half of labor--a tiny perfect peanut at 5 lbs 13 oz.  She was such a sweet baby that we didn't anticipate the little spitfire toddler she would become, the result, I'm certain of a lot of big thoughts going on in that head.  Maura is our right-brained left-handed artiste who excels both academically and artistically (both music and fine art).  She has been a huge blessing and an occasional challenge for her two very left-brained parents.  But she is such a joy, with such insight, intelligence, and style, that she has so very often given me a new perspective on life.   Her dad and I are so thrilled to welcome her to official adult by wishing

A Very Happy Birthday, Maura!

Cinnamon Vanilla

Cinnamon Vanilla has been around Scentsyworld a while, but I have to confess, I haven't tried it until this fall.  I love cinnamon scents.  I love vanilla scents.  Unfortunately, I am not wild about cinnamon and vanilla together.  That said, this is a perfectly acceptable cinnamon vanilla, and I sell a fair amount of it.  The vanilla is a sweetish, smooth cooking vanilla, with a bit of mild cinnamon sprinkled over.  It isn't particularly complex, being exactly what it purports to be.  It has good throw and really good lasting power.  It just isn't my thing, however, it doesn't repulse me either. 
 
If you are a cinnamon-vanilla fan, it is definitely one you will want to add to your stash.  I can see this as being extremely cozy on a cool fall or winter day.
