Clinique Happy EDT always reminds me of my high school bestie Smether. (No, that’s not her reaaaal name, but it might as well be… Heather, Smether, Smethie, Smethel… same thing, really…) She used to wear it back in the dag – along with orange corduroy pants and baby blue high neck twin sets. Snicker… snicker… But don’t feel bad for her; she’s since made up for it by morphing into an uber cool London hipster who hangs out with underground musos while drinking Snakebite (ironically, of course) at the same pubs Amy Winehouse used to frequent.

Anyway, getting back to Clinique Happy… if you’re also a fan of the frag, you’ll be glad to know you can get your fix while giving back. If you purchase a bottle at Edgars or Red Square on the 16th of this month, they’ll donate R100 of the purchase to the Rena Le Lona AIDS charity.

So, if you’ve been a very bad girl and have fashion fines to pay for like Smethle… or just want to repent for kak driving/eating your boyfriend’s last Chuckle/pouring a drink into that mean girl’s bag at the Coldplay concert, now’s your chance to do so while scoring a brand new scent. Yayness all round…

Love, love
