WEDDING BLOG

I got together the other night with the lovely Kelsey from Urban Botanic as she had offered to introduce me to their products and help me create my very own customized scent. It was so much fun! The first step was taking the online personality test to find a starting point. (I’m a “fruity” personality: friendly, committed, hard working and self aware. Nice!) When we got together I was supremely impressed with Kelsey’s know-how. As one little bottle of oil after another came out of her kit we began smelling them all and discussing good combinations. Once I narrowed it down to about three favorites from each scent category the real fun began! We sat and mixed together all kinds of concoctions trying to come up with the one that really grabbed me. My final product was a heavenly blend of equal parts water lily, tomato leaf, and Egyptian musk. I love it, and can’t wait for an excuse to plan an Urban Botanic party for all my girlfriends. I’m not usually a home party kind of girl but this was some seriously addicting fun. Contact Kelsey, [email protected], for ideas on how to create an Urban Botanic get together for your bridal shower or bachelorette party anywhere in the country, or to purchase a DIY oil kit to play with at home.

Best of all, Kelsey is giving away a free personalized parfum spray to one of our Junebug readers! Just send me an e-mail or leave a comment with your contact info describing your all time favorite scents (mine are coffee, anything baking, lemon verbena and the house I grew up in) and the most fun description at the end of next week will win!
