lucky penny could barely contain herself when she was invited to aromachology’s tiff pop-up suite at the four seasons hotel. already a perfume fanatic, she could not wait to play *mad scientist*, and create her own bespoke scent.

aromachology is a custom (and canadian) fragrance line started by friends kirsten menkes and ashlee firsten. “the science of aromachology studies the interrelationship between psychology and scent and the affect it has on behaviour,” say the co-founders.

filling out a quick quiz, lucky penny discovered her base scent mix was a blend of sophisticated and sensual floral with a *hint* of exotic and spicy oriental. spot on! to personalize the fragrance (chose up to three top notes), she picked only one… citrus note, inspiring.

now when cute boyfriend takes in her heady scent and asks what she is wearing… she can demurely whisper back, “lucky penny”.

lucky penny‘s credit card just can’t say no. [not in its vocabulary.]

lucky penny is constantly surprised by cute boyfriend…  a closet hopeless romantic.

a few months ago, the twosome were celebrating their one-year anniversary. just before dinner, he walked through the front door, handsome as always in his suit, a sly smile on his face and one hand behind his back… with a little chocolate brown birks bag dangling from his index finger.

inside was the most beautiful pair of toni cavelti drop earrings… delicate gold chains and peridot ovals.

cute boyfriend made sure they were green to match her eyes… and they have not left her lobes ever since!

lucky penny would happily jump into a delorean, and set the clock back 10 years… to senior year in high school… when she was wasted on bacardi breezers at a dance, and sneaked out of the house to meet a boy. *young, carefree and stupid*

okay she knows this is not a possibility, but a girl can dream… and thank goodness for nanoblur, a new correction cream that erases all minor imperfections, and instantly makes skin look 10 years younger in 40 seconds flat.

it is only $19, and sold at rexall pharmaplus stores across canada (except quebec). done and done!

no more lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, or enlarged pores… even in high-definition… now all that lucky penny can worry about is getting carded. *fist pump*

***psst… play our @luckypennydaily “tweet to win” contest, and you could win 1 of *two* tubes… tell us what makes you feel young… and don’t forget to use the hashtag #LPDnanoblur to qualify!!! contest ends this friday.

lucky penny is absolutely giddy with excitement… who will be the next featured evian bottle designer?

beginning in 2008, evian has collaborated with christian lacroix, jean-paul gaultier, and paul smith.

this year’s limited-edition bottle, created by issey miyake, features a shimmering flower that easily reminds her of days gone by… picking petals in the grass… and wondering, “he loves me, he loves me not.”

best of all, once lucky penny’s thirst has been quenched, she can reuse the bottle as a vase for real fleurs from cute boyfriend.

he definitely loves her! *swoon*
