Like any normal human being, I LOVE the scent of pine during the holidays (not to be confused with Pine Sol, which I could also love under different circumstances: A.K.A. when someone–ahem, ANDRE–cleans the house with it). 

Seriously, Drewser.  Don't be afraid to clean and surprise me.

No (I mean, yes), but I was actually smelling (and admiring) a friend's Christmas tree at book club yesterday.  Since I don't get to have one of my own (and I can't say "Hanukah Bush" with a straight face), I thought I'd share one other way to experience holiday fragrances:

As part of my bday present, my sister C. gave me two of Mistral's new Holiday Soaps (Winter Pine and Winter Berry).  Now, you know I'm always a HUGE fan of said products, BUT I think I can objectively say that these new scents are especially amazing.  I mean, I have the pine version in rotation right now and every time I smell it, I have a moment of, "What IS that amazing smell?"

It smells like pure happiness.

So, just a little holiday cheer for your bad selves, should you choose to indulge.

And, Andre, after I've uncovered the gems within the LINT, don't be afraid to clean it all up.
