Sean “diddy” Combs promotes latest mens cologne “I am King”
Sean ”diddy” Combs, hip hop artist, actor, men’s fashion designer entrepreneur and dancer, hosted this years 3rd annual Grammy Awards Gold Carpet Post Party in honor of the grammys and also to promote his latest men’s cologne called I am King. He has won 3 grammy awards for his work on his music.
In Nov. 2008 he launched his latest men’s cologne under the Sean John brand calling it “I am King” dedicated to Barrack Obama, Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King. Stating in his blog “there is a black president and it’s time for there to be a black bond”. I am looking forward to seeing just what Sean “diddy” Combs has in store for us later.
So it’s Friday morning and you just can’t quit thinking about the date you have for tonight. Not just any date but a blind date. It is the first time you have gone on a blind date and boy are you nervous, where are we going, what to wear and how should I wear my hair.
My first and only blind date was so nerve racking. I knew that we were going to a party but didn’t know what kind. I remember being very apprehensive about what kind of women’s perfume to wear, or if I should wear any at all. As it turned out I did wear inspire perfume, however, the party and the date was a flop. I have not even entertained the thought of going on a blind date since. However, I did fall in love with the perfume.
I have waited for the super bowl ever since the play offs began. I was excited to see who would be going and now that I know and the day is here I’m so pumped, hoping that the colts win. I’m having a few friends over to watch the game, no cooking, strickly finger foods and paper plates.
Getting ready for the game is taking more time than I thought. I have friends that smoke and that don’t smoke, so I have several aromatherapy candles to light all around the house, trust me when I say no matter who wins the game it will be a great time with family and friends.
So Valentines Day is right around the corner and I have never actually told my husband what I wanted for Valentines Day because I have always figured that it meant more coming from him. However, this year I’m going to have to slip a few hints, because lets face it chocolate only goes so far.
My idea of the perfect Valentines Day, start the day with breakfast in bed, next a small box of chocolate with one single carnation (red) and a small bottle of Red Door perfume that I can wear to dinner. Dinner will be at a very quite and exquisite restaurant so we can spend a nice romantic evening together. That would be perfect.
How many times have you wanted to go spend the day at the spa and just didn’t have the money or the time? I can think of several times but have not found the time to go. So I have to create my own spa day at home, which really isn’t hard. How great do you feel after you have just had a hair cut or just colored your hair? You feel like a whole new person, at least I do. So here is what I do to help myself feel better about me.
I draw a hot bath, after washing my hair with biolage shampoo I apply the biolage leave in conditioner, make sure to have bath salts in the water and a few lavender scented aromatherapy candles lite and I soak, soak and soak some. You can not beat the scent of biolage hair products. What a great feeling after a long day to end it like that.
Because perfume has a higher concentration of essential oils then cologne, perfume has 30% compared to cologne which has only about 8% by volume, it is considerably more expensive. Cologne does not last as long as perfume either and has to be reapplied after 2 – 3 hours, and you also need to apply more cologne then perfume.
What I don’t understand is why we refer to women’s perfume and men’s cologne? Take polo cologne for an example, depending on where you purchase this “cologne” you may pay $50.00 or more for a 4.2 oz bottle, and just a small amount needs to be applied and it doesn’t wear off in 2 – 3 hours. So should we not be referring to such men’s cologne as men’s perfume? Or does that sound to feminine?
I have heard so much about aromatherapy candles, bath oils and the benefits of such, however, it wasn’t until just lately that I heard of color therapy. Now my thinking is that if you were to combine aromatherapy with color therapy how much more would you benefit from this.
Here are a few examples of what I’m talking about. Black provides self confidence, power and strength. Green has a soothing, relaxing effect not only mentally but physically. Yellow is for energy and improves your memory. Red stimulates your brain wave activity and also excites your sexual glands.
Just imagine, you had a hard day at work, kids a little unruly, say you have painted your bathroom green so you run a hot bath, light some aromatherapy candles and you are well on your way to a much better evening. Or say you have a really important job interview, wear your best black suit and you will appear more self confident. I think there is really something to this stuff if you take the time to figure out how it will suit you best.
