Add some sparkle to your vocab #SLSWednesdayWord

Shine bright this week.

THIS week’s #SLSWednesdayWord is about sparkle and shine and making life a little brighter.

Scintillant means sparkling, shining, bright or emitting or reflecting light. It is often used in scientific terms but is a charming way to describe something or someone.

An example of the phrase can be found on the Oxford Dictionaries website (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/scintillant):

“Her dress was held up by a spaghetti strap tank-top and it was a scintillant shade of baby blue, falling a little above her knees.”
