Red Velvety Goodness

I'm kind of fascinated with the south.  I feel like if I lived there, I'd spent the weekends sitting on my wraparound porch, sipping mint juleps and walking down to the local swimming hole to cool off.  I could be sort of like a modern day Scarlett O'Hara, only without the petticoats... or Rhett Butler... or slaves... I also really like some of the southern foods, like red velvet cake.  Why did we not have this on the east coast when I was growing up?  It's the perfect cupcake flavor!  Yes, it's a little alarming to eat something that looks like it's the color of blood, but once you taste it, its pretty easy to get past that.  When I went into Sephora today (again, I was Christmas shopping - it's not all about me, people), I stumbled upon a brand new, limited edition release that Philosophy is putting out with this scent in their 3-in-1 shower gel/shampoo/bubble bath.  It smells just like the cake, all buttery and cocoa-y, so it's perfect for the holidays.  And even better, it's a really original flavor - I've literally never seen a shower gel in this scent before, so that kind of helped me justify purchasing it (okay, fine, sometimes it is all about me...) because I know that I don't have 16 other similar smelling products in my closet.  One thing to be aware of - it's a limited edition and it's only scheduled to be on the shelves for a little while, so you should definitely go get it as soon as possible if you're interested.  The Sephora I was in had only gotten them in the night before and they were already down to just 6 bottles left, so if you wait, you might just be out of luck.  And then you'd just have to go get the real thing to make yourself feel better.  Oh wait, is that just me?
