Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy Extreme Eau de Parfum Made Me Sob For Two Reasons

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy Extreme Eau de Parfum was on sale at Saks last weekend and I totally missed the sale. I literally sunk to the floor and cried out in horror that I missed a sale on this. Ugh….! I had it in my cart, I was going to check out, but I got distracted and forgot. Monday loomed and the sale was over.

I flung myself on the floor, beat my fists on the floor in anger, and cried ugly tears that I forgot to order it! Now I have to pay full price….The horror.

The second reason I sobbed was because I’ve been very, very busy at work and realized the last video I watched with Brooklyn Fragrance Lover was his video on Love, Don’t Be Shy Extreme Eau de Parfum. If you don’t know yet know from some of my posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, Carlos aka Brooklyn Fragrance Lover passed away recently. I really enjoyed his content and it really saddened me to hear he passed away! RIP Carlos! I hope your channel lives on youTube forever so that future perfume-a-holics can love all over your amazing content.

I’ll be enjoying Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy Extreme Eau de Parfum and thinking of Carlos when I do.

So, I haven’t actually smelled Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy Extreme Eau de Parfum yet. Covid cases are down in New York again so I was thinking this weekend I’d break my quarantine to take a slow romantic walk around the perfume aisles at Saks and mostly important smell Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy Extreme Eau de Parfum. You know I am obsessed with the original! The original is pure bliss! Marshmallow, orange blossom, gorgeous, girly, but sexy. You already know why the original Love, Don’t Be Shy is a favorite of mine! I do so love sweet gourmands and the scent brings that to the next level!

With Extreme they loaded the scent with rose compose and an extra shot of orange blossom. And I’m sitting over here like damn I wish it was more marshmallow. People are saying that extra dose of rose is giving the scent a more jammy element much like Lush Rose Jam. I’ve heard this a few times and it concerns me. I like Lush Rose Jam but in really small amounts because it’s been known to give me a bloody headache. I’m hoping the rose isn’t too overwhelming! But I trust in Kilian and I have no doubt this will me utterly delicious!

Kilian Love, Don’t Be Shy Extreme Eau de Parfum is available now.

Is it on your fragrance wish list?

I Did Make the Viral Baked Feta Tomato Pasta and I Didn’t Burn the House Down While Doing It and I Wore Red Lipstick While Cooking It

Hey guys!

What the story all my morning glories? Totally an Oasis moment whenever I type that sentence or say it out loud in greeting. I binged My Mad Fat Diary on Hulu a month or two ago and I was obsessed with all the Oasis references and mentions. Also, Nico Mirallegro is my boyfriend now after that binge he just doesn’t know it yet.

What’s been cooking this week? I mean literally, what’s been cooking? In your oven. I am proud to say I made the Tomato Feta Pasta that’s been going viral on Tiktok and I did it without burning the house down and people, it was delicious.

It was actually the pasta dish that almost didn’t happen. I ordered all the ingredients on Whole Foods and they had no solid feta cheese available. They texted me but I missed the text so they just substituted with crumbled feta. I googled furiously but nothing said, “Hey!! Use crumbled feta instead!” So, I got on Doordash and ordered a block of feta cheese from the local Mediterranean Market! It arrived and it was crumbled…! Ok, so, the gods hate me. I was starting to believe that the feta cheese shortage was real. Postmates came through and found me a solid block! Thank you Postmates!

Everyone knows how we make this right? Get a baking dish, a cup of extra virgin olive oil, and a bunch of cherry tomatoes. Slap all of it in a the baking dish and pop the entire feta cheese block in the middle of the tomatoes! Pour some more olive oil on top and stick the dish into the oven to bake for 30 to 40 minutes. You can boil the pasta of your choice as you wait. I went with bow ties!

Once the cheese begins to melt down take your dish out of the over and stir in fresh chopped basil and minced garlic. Mix it all together and break the tomatoes up with a spoon or a potato smasher. The cheese, tomato, basil, and garlic will all mix up into a delicious sauce. Now pour your pasta on top, mix, and enjoy!

It was really delicious but it is a bit salty so I don’t recommend putting salt into the mix even though some recipes say to do so. You can stir in other stuff too like crushed pepper flakes for some heat or even extra veggies like spinach or mushrooms! It’s a pretty basic recipe that you can add a variety of yummy things to!

I did all this wearing Urban Decay Gash Lipstick. I have no idea why but I’ve suddenly decided that Gash needs to come out and play again! Could be Valentine’s Day got me in a red lipstick kind of mood!
