Challenge yourself this month, Aquarius. Pick up a new hobby you’d otherwise shy away from or try that workout you’ve been nervous to start. Pushing you outside of your comfort zone will open so many new doors and opportunities. It’s okay to be scared or nervous, but never let that fear keep you from living your life. Heretic’s Dirty Rose Eau de Parfum is NOT your ordinary rose scented fragrance. Equal parts naughty and fresh this scent goes on strong and blooms into a longwearing sensual floral aroma. Captivate the noses of others as you trail this intoxicating scent, make them wonder how a rose could possibly smell so...perfectly dirty. Heretic Dirty Rose Eau de Parfum | $65-$165 | Sephora |

This month may leave you with less physically (a little late summer cleaning never hurt anyone) but so much more mentally. You will find a new sense of confidence this month, one that will carry you through to the end of the year. We could all use a little mental help, especially with all that’s happening in the word. Listen to your mind and facilitate your thinking towards a more positive direction. Some of our best thinking is done in the shower, when we are finally able to unwind and rest before we start or finish the day. Infused with essential oils in sandalwood or eucalyptus for a true spa experience, The Body Wash from Necessaire cleanses, balances and moisturizes the skin. The gel formula is pH balanced and perfect for all skin types including those with sensitivities! Necessaire The Body Wash | $25 | Sephora |
