Who Are We

First the filter on the pic I choose is 1990, why because we meet in the very early ‘90s and have been attached since.

Holly - mom and wife, loves spending time with fam. I like reading I’m into romance and thrillers. I like a good rainstorm with a good book. I recently got into perfumes also thanks to my best friend Val.

Val - mom, fiancé, homebody and night owl. I just recently got into perfume and I am absolutely obsessed. My collection grows weekly and I lean more into the affordable fragrances. I used to be a big reader before I had kids but now that they are teens I am getting back into it. I was more of a romance reader but have discover thrillers and I can’t put them down. Just a little about me want to know more, please ask.

-Val & Holly
