Aquolina Pink Sugar
Hummm, I’m so in love with it! Usually, I’m not crazy about foody-scents, but for few reasons, I surprised myself loving wearing it as soon as I sprayed it on me for the first time. Initially, I thought that Pink Sugar would be a one note perfume because of …

I started smoking Bugler Tobacco, instead of my regular brand at the time, which was KOOL, simply because it was cheaper ($4.25 as opposed to $6.75) and I needed a break from the menthol. I expected to notice a considerable difference in the taste and the quality of the …

Old Samuel Bourbon
What do you want from a drink? That is an alcoholic drink, of course. Let us assume that it has the punch you require. If it doesn’t, then there’s something wrong. After all, 40% proof must mean that it has a certain amount of oomph to lift you from the …
