When you decide to buy a new perfume, how do you decide what you want? This is a question I’ve asked myself many times with no good answer, so I stick with the same women’s perfume I’ve worn for many years.
Thank God for family and good friends. When I approached them with the same question I got some really helpful answers. First, how a bottle is packaged is most surely a reason why I buy a certain perfume. I want it to look elegant and not plain or macho, so to speak. Second, how much do I want to spend. A high quality perfume is normally associated with a higher price tag. And finally, whatever perfume you may choose, you want it to last all day, so sample it before you buy it. Spray a little on your wrist, go walk around the store for 20 minutes or so, if it is not to strong or to subtle, it may be what you are looking for.
You can not possibly go wrong if you are completely honest with yourself about what you are looking for. Last, have fun with it and you will find it is not such a hard decision to make.
Did you know that the original Toys for Tots program was founded in 1947 by Col. Bill Hendricks, he came up with the idea for Marine Reservists to collect and repair used toys and hand them out to needy children?
Today Toys for Tots only accept new unwrapped toys or gifts, I say gifts because older kids and teens up to age 18 participate. Some good ideas to donate would be, stuffed animals, age appropriate games, age appropriate books, cosmetic items, perfumes and colognes. Teen girls like Baby Phat perfume and teen boys like Cool Water just to name a couple ideas.
To find a dropoff location or to become a dropoff location visit the national website at www.toysfortots.org. I know that you would feel better donating and the children will have a Merry Christmas.
Most Americans learn about the exploits of Christopher Columbus in grade school – he stubbornly insisted that the world was round and that he could find a clear path to the Indies by sailing West from Europe. Still, it seems almost inconceivable that people would spend so much money and expend so much effort in an attempt to secure spices. The spice trade remains crucial in today’s society, but we take it largely for granted.
During the Age of Discovery, which began shortly after the Renaissance and continued through the 17th century, silks, spices and perfumes fetched vast amounts of money in the Western market. That’s because so few of the garments, food preservatives and women’s designer perfume that were in high demand could be found locally – either in Europe or the new world. Those items were mostly found in the Orient, and so traders and explorers like Marco Polo traveled east and brought back fantastical tales along with the valuable wares.
Whatever else she does through the course of her storied acting career, Sarah Jessica Parker will almost certainly be best remembered for her role as Carrie Bradshaw on the hit television series “Sex and the City.” That show managed to capture the cultural zeitgeist during the late 1990s and early 2000s – an age of material excess matched only by the Reagan ’80s. Bradshaw and her friends demonstrated an obsession for extravagant fashion accessories, frivolous relationships and pricy cocktails.
In short, they captured the hearts and minds of many women, and the show served as a guilty pleasure for some men as well. More recently, Parker has expanded her interests and branding potential to other ancillary markets – most notably the perfume industry. Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely is a captivating fragrance that appeals to bookish Charlottes and scintillating Samantha types as well.
There is an art to wearing perfume that to many women overlook sometimes. So here are a few rules of thumb.
Because we use differant products on our skin from shower gels to lotions to perfume, we need to be careful with the scents we choose that they do not intermingle. If you would rather smell your moisterizer, then apply an unscented deodorant, or if you would rather smell your perfume go with an unscented moisterizer also.
The application is probably the most overlooked part of wearing perfume. Lightly spray your pulse points (chest, ankles, neck and behind your knees) a half spray may be all you need for each area. You may want to try spraying a cotton ball with a subtle casual fragrance such as Chanel Chance and using it as an applicator to diffuse the fragrance a little more.
Remember, if your perfume lingers longer then you do in a room or if people can smell your perfume before they get close to you, you may be wearing to much
Women say they wear fragrances to smell good, but what they’re really hoping is to attract men. Womens fragrances like musk oil have traditionally been worn to attract men.
In order to find out what smells can help a woman to find a man, or excite her current partner, it’s best to ask men directly what women’s perfume they like. One befuddled man said, “I don’t know, I am just a guy … but I like a fragrance that I can only smell when I am close enough to kiss her neck.”
Another guy said, “A sweet smell, but nothing too strong. Just the mere hint of something that’s maybe citrusy, or maybe musky, but not strong enough that you can tell for sure.”
