Monthly favorites posts are so much fun! It's crazy how much your face and hair care routines, clothing choices, and music tastes can change in just one short month. It also helps prove that I go shopping way too often :D So, here's my list - enjoy!  Beckham Signature for Women : I'm obsessed with this perfume and I've pretty much worn it every day of June! It has a really refreshing and sweet scent. I especially love the fact that I got it more than half off the retail price at TJ Maxx. Fragrance notes:  Candy apple, Patchouli, Musk, Vanilla, Heliotrope, Anise flower, Amber, Orchid.

That's why I was so excited when Bodycology gave me the opportunity to do a review on three of their products.
