Take a Whiff

It’s been a warm winter considering, but I still cannot wait for those sunny days where it’s once again acceptable to wear skirts without tights. Who is with me?
Until then, I am getting a jump start on spring with a few of my favorite floral perfumes. Many people buy a large bottle of one signature perfume, but I buy a variety smaller bottles for different occasions. Just as the seasons change, so does my taste…it’s nice to have that assortment.
JASMINE: Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh: Jasmine hints at a spicy, musty aroma, and with a fruity mix to balance it out. This perfume is a knock-out for everyday wear.
ORANGE BLOSSOM: ELIE SAAB Le Parfum: Sweet yet citrusy. The orange blossom has a delicate look and aroma, leaving you (and all those who brush by) with a refreshing feeling.
PEONY: Calvin Klein Forbidden Euphoria: Peony is a traditional floral symbol of China, known as a flower of riches and honor. I absolutely adore this scent for romantic evenings on the town with my love.
ROSE: Lancome ‘Tresor in Love’: The rose is one of the most classic and timeless flowers, this perfume too is a classic fragrance, like it was picked straight from the garden.
Add a little spring into your step with a new perfume this season! Next time your at the mall, stop in a perfume store and try one of these out! You will not be disappointed.























A life-long fat girl, Sommer Johnson decided to strap on some fancy tennis shoes, wrestle into a sports bra that would likely be one size too small (they always are--that's what you get with big boobs), and go on a 38 week journey to run the Peachtree Road Race. In the midst of trying to find her healthier self, she found that her struggle was not all that rare. Between the full-figured audience of her online publication, Gemini Magazine, and friends who were rowing up the fat river with no paddle, Sommer decided to share her journey to help women like her get past their fears (and get moving--literally). A runner newbie, Insanity graduate, Turbofire enthusiast, and foodie experimenter, Sommer Johnson is a 32 year old mother of 2 and wife of 1 who lives in Atlanta, GA.
