Easy Tips to Applying Your Favorite Fragrance

The appealing fragrance of a perfume has been described as being “like gathering an armful of luscious rose petals at the height of their bloom.” Fragrances today last longer on the skin than ever before. To use an example, Revlon’s “Lasting” is truly that- it has lasting power for up to ten hours. There are some easy tips to applying your favorite fragrance that everyone should be privy to.

Before buying a fragrance always try it out on your own skin first. A fragrance sprayed on a cardboard piece of paper will give you an inkling of how it smells but not how it will smell on YOU. And keep in mind that not all fragrances smell the exact same on everybody as no two body chemistries are the exact same. Spray the scent on the inside of your wrist and then allow it to warm and absorb into your skin. Your own personal body oils will determine how the scent will smell on you.

Do not be hasty in deciding whether or not a scent is suitable for you or not. Instead, after applying it, give it twenty minutes to an hour to make a proper determination. Or better yet, every couple of hours let your nose have a whiff of it and see if the original scent retains its fragrance. Longevity of a scent is important. Remember that not all scents have the same effect on everyone and some agree with some people’s skin better than others. Once applied to your inner wrist never rub it on your other wrist as this can alter the scent of the fragrance tremendously.

The best places to apply fragrance are between your breasts, around the ankles, the sides of the neck, and behind your knees as these are your pulse points. If you wear a watch or bracelet(s), be careful when spraying scents. The fragrance you apply could react to the leather or plastic strap or the gold or silver of the bracelet and dull the material so keep this point in mind when you apply your favorite fragrance.

For those with skin on the dry side you will need to reapply your fragrance often but for oily or combination skin it is less often. Dry skin doesn’t retain scent as well as skin higher in oil content.

It is best to test new scents one at a time. Do not overdue a good thing when it comes to perfume. If you sample too many at once you will confuse your nose and won’t know how to choose between fragrances. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither do you need to make a snap decision about which perfumes suit you best and which don’t.

A good rule of thumb for applying your favorite fragrance is that less is more. This is particularly important to keep in mind if you are attending a social or business related event where there will be lots of people. A spritz of a fragrance applied with a light hand to a pulse point is all that is really needed. And remember, big events equal lots of women (and men) wearing lots of other fragrances. In this case too much competition between fragrances may not be what you are striving for!

A tip that is not well known but is perfect for the social event scenario is to spray the outside of your hand instead of your wrist. This works because it allows the scent to defuse in an outward direction. It is airy and oh so subtle which is what you want. Another option is spraying the air (in much the same way as you would spray air freshener in a room) and then simply walking through the scent as it falls around you. This is a subtle but effective way of perfuming yourself. If you are concerned about your outfit then don’t worry, as it will not affect your clothing in any adverse manner.

Less is more is also wise to keep in mind as you age in relation to applying your favorite fragrance. Our sense of smell is not as sharp as we get older and the dulling effect means we cannot always accurately gauge whether we are wearing too much, as opposed to enough, fragrance. We might automatically assume that if we cannot smell our fragrance on our own skin that no one else can either. Never assume this is the case!

Airbrush Tan

Check out all the leathery old folks out there! Now, how do you suppose they got this way? Could it have been caused by the powerful glow of the moon? I don’t think so. These folks are most likely sun bunnies. Those Caucasians who crave darker skin. Are you destined to be a leathery old man or woman as well? Hey, if you sun bathe on a daily basis, I’m thinking you are.

It’s inevitable. The harmful UV rays from the sun will darken your skin and weather it like it’s no joke. We’ve known this for years now. That’s why new-age methods of tanning have come about. Not tanning beds! Those are worse than the real sun. I was thinking more along the lines of an airbrush tan. This is the glow of the future.

Remember self-tanner? It probably wasn’t the greatest invention of the 20th century, but it had good intentions behind it. Once we knew how bad the sun was for our delicate skin, scientists were scrambling to come up with an alternative. Hence the numerous brands of self-tanning products. I tried this stuff back in high school. Folks stared in jealous awe at the orange streaks running up and down my legs. I was officially a god. Uh, yeah right. But, many of my peers did point and laugh at my ridiculous fake bake. Who could blame them? Then later down the road, something new came about.

It was called the airbrush tan. Unfortunately it didn’t show up until after the new millennium, but better late than never. Folks were suddenly indulging in the innovative safe way to tan. With the airbrush tan, you simply hop in a booth and get misted by tanning solution. It should leave a nice even glow, without any streaking. If you’ve yet to test out this method, I suggest you get on it.

Why the new airbrush tan? Well DUH! We obviously can’t continue being a bunch of sun bunnies. This is not healthy for two reasons. One, it causes cancer; and two; it causes premature aging of the skin. Nothing will age your face faster than the sun. Fortunately for everyone who loves to have that rich glowing tan year-round, they can now get it the safe way via the airbrush tan. Even all you folks who don’t tan due to the negative consequences, you can still give this safe method a shot. At least during the summer months.

Lipstick Color – Finding The Right Color For You

I feel like a fashion dunce. I

Nail polish

I have an addiction to nail polish. My nails are always painted and I am always buying new nail polish colors to experiment with. Sometimes my toes and fingernails match, other times I purposely make them clash. Why? I have no reasoning behind it, but it has become almost a trademark for me and it is just fun. I am especially fond of the nail polish that claims it dries in 60 seconds. In my opinion, it takes 3-4 minutes, but it does dry much faster and seems to go on smoother.

My favorite thing to do is wait until CVS has a circular in my weekend newspaper that advertises a buy one, get one free sale for nail polish. I’ll ask my mom for her coupon and buy 4 new nail polish colors for the price of 2. It’s a great deal and I love it. I do that once a month. My husband teases me about my dresser drawer that is devoted to nail polish. I must have at least 75 bottles of nail polish in my drawer. I have had this love for nail polish since middle school. I can’t say that I’ve had more than 24 hours since middle school, that my all of my nails haven’t been painted. In fact, when I remove the nail polish, my nails all have that yellowish tint to them. If I wanted to go cold turkey and let my nails recover from being smothered by nail polish, it would take months for the yellowish tint to grow out and disappear completely.

A friend of mine used to do stencils and nail art for me, but I grew bored with that. It was too much maintenance. I would rather do my own nails, all natural, and be able to change them whenever the mood strikes me. I’ve never been into getting fake nails. I know that there are quite a few people out there who are big fans of getting them and it is much easier for some people, but I can’t stand them. I had them once, for prom, and felt like I couldn’t properly use my fingers. I vowed to never have them again, and years later, I continue to say the same thing.

Any store that sells nail polish will probably have tons of brand names. I have a few favorites, but none that I can say that I don’t care for. I’m a fan of Maybelline, as they have the quick dry nail polish. My preschooler has started to love it when I paint her nails as well. I put light colors on her nails and she thinks she is just the coolest 3 year old around. Not that I wouldn’t have loved a son just as much, but I’m happy that I can pass my love of nail polish along to someone else.

Indian Wedding Planning and Money Saving Tips

Weddings automatically spell out lavish parties, designer outfits, jewellery and receptions, all of which can cost the earth! Sometimes, you need to save in one area so that you can splash out in another. Here are some easy tips that make it possible to for you to save money but still have your dream wedding, without compromising on style.

1. Fixing a budget is the first step towards a well thought-out wedding plan. Decide on the amount that you intend to spend and allow for 25% additional expenses for all the minor unplanned items.
2. Instead of buying an expensive wedding lengha, try out new upcoming designers for a made to order outfit. They will not only put their time and effort into making you look beautiful but their price will be reasonable and the satisfaction guaranteed! The same could be done with your card designer!
3. Better still; wear your mother’s, grandmother’s, sister’s or even your mother-in-law’s wedding outfit. This way you not only save money but will also make a fashion statement. It is a trend that is fast picking up amongst brides.
4. Think about opening a wedding bank account. The tradition of placing the entire burden of expenses on the bride’s family is a thing of the past. Most couples now pay a proportion with parents also contributing to the cost. If you put all the money into one account it willl be much easier to see keep track of your expenses and see exactly how much is left.
5. Keep accurate records of what you have ordered, the total price, the deposit given and the balance that is due. Stay organized!
6. Be flexible about your plans – and save money. Wedding on a popular day like Saturday costs more. If you can consider a Friday wedding, for instance, you will probably be quoted less fro the reception and also get your first choice.
7. Remember the early bride gets the deal! Start shopping around as soon as possible. Book your photographer, venue, caterer and entertainer well in advance. Get them to agree in writing that if they put up their prices before the wedding, you will still pay the agreed price.
8. Only book a catering company or after sampling their food or in case of a photographer or florist, after you have seen their folio. And make sure you hear potential entertainers performing, either live or on tape.
9. Get a written confirmation from all you suppliers as well as the photographers, florists, caterers and car hire company. Give a preferred shot list to your photographer and confirm final numbers to the caterers. This helps in avoiding confusion and the risk of being overcharged.
10. Select flowers that are in season as they are inexpensive – try a mix of textures , fresh flowers mixed with dry and silk ones , not only does this look unusual and different , this combination also works out economical esp in the summer months as fresh flowers are wither away too soon !!
11. Invitations should always be addressed by pen, preferably in black ink.
12. This is the time to call up all family and friends to pitch in for help with the preparations. Enlist the help of that talented friend of yours for design and creative ideas.
13. Serve sparkling wine for the cocktail reception and save the finest champagne for the toasts only.
14. Make extravagant food such as fine seafood as an hors d’oeuvres rather than serving it as a main course.
15. For guests under the age of twelve, ask the caterer to make up simple and inexpensive meals. The kids will enjoy it more and you pay less.
16. Instead of an open bar, have your bartender make special festive drinks named after the bride and groom. You’ll save a lot on the overall drinks bill.
17. Bring along an emergency kit with a needle and thread, safety pins, hairpins, hairsprays, nail polish and extra pantyhose to deal with all unforeseen crisis that seem to arise at such moments.
18. If your first night is being spent at a hotel, ask the manager if they will include extras, such as complimentary champagne, chocolates and fresh fruits that they offer for newly wedded couples.
19. Plan your honeymoon well in advance. Make all arrangements and reservations as soon as possible to avail of the best offer at the best rates.
20. A slightly out of season honeymoon, just away from peak times, will get you bargains and bonus packages.
21. Let everyone know its your honeymoon. Your hotel might offer you a room upgrade!!

Dry And Damaged Hair

I have had naturally curly hair my entire life. Though many tell me that my hair is beautiful, I have found it to be a pain to care for. I have always considered myself unlucky, because there are only so many things that you can do with curly hair. I have also noticed that I usually have dry and damaged hair. This means that I have to spend extra money to take care of my hair, and it also means I have to be creative when thinking of things to do with it.

If you have dry and damaged hair as I do, you are probably looking for a solution. Though I do not have all of the answers, there are some things that I know. Dry and damaged hair must be trimmed at least once every two months in order to keep the split ends from overwhelming you. If you keep your hair trimmed, it has a better chance of staying healthy and growing longer. You may think that getting regular trims might defeat the purpose of growing your hair long, but you should know it actually helps it grow longer in the long run.

Dry and damaged hair also needs special help to keep it looking smooth and shiny. If you have been buying drugstore brand shampoos and conditioners, and nothing seems to be working, you may have to spend some extra money to buy salon products for your hair. I have found that after I started using the more expensive hair care products on the market that my dry and damaged hair started to look much better as time went on. I would say that this is one expense that I am glad to have.

You may also find that there are other products that will help your dry and damaged hair. If you are anything like me, you probably do not know where to start. When you feel this way, you should talk to your hair stylist to see what they recommend for you. They may offer you suggestions regarding gels, sprays, and other products designed to keep your hair in place, healthy, and styled. If you just take a little time, your dry and damaged hair can look better than ever. Just remember that curly hair is much different than straight hair, and there may always be some damage or some dryness that you have to deal with on a daily basis. You should also remember, however, that with a little work your natural curls can be stunning.

Tips on Wedding Music

Wedding is one of the most important aspects of our life; it needs to be a memorable event. The wedding needs to be fun and jovial and especially the beautiful ceremonies in the wedding are just scintillating and all these ceremonies actually add flavor to the wedding and make it memorable memories that can never be forgotten. These days integral parts of the weddings is the music in the cocktail parties, a full time fun for dancing on the best music and once the crowd gets back they should just say it was a happening wedding. Incase you are intending to get back the same compliment from the people who have visited your wedding then here are few tips that can help you too:

Make the music also a cocktail:
Every age group has a different taste and what appeals to the people of your age group may not be the same for the people of the same age group. So be sure that your music has the flavor of all music right from rock to soft music, on which people could groove after they are tired.

Consider the choices of your guests:
On a card ask your guests which would be the song that they would like to groove on. This technique will add an excitement in to the guest and you can easily drive them up to the stage. Playing the music on the choice of your audience will ensure a jovial environment in the wedding.

Do not forget the older generation 
The old age groups are among the first people to leave the parties so do not forget them and cater to their needs. What you can do is to play a few 40’s and the 50’s songs and then the rest of the songs you can keep it reserved for the younger crowd. Ensure that songs need to be high beat in the initial stage then go in for the light track songs. Avoid playing very soft music songs as they do not drive the people to dance.

Get the dancing started earlier
Initially the floor use to rock only after the cake has been cut but these days people start the dance as early as possible. The entire function has dance and there would be a break only for eating. So in your function start the dance as early as possible so that there are positive vibes in the party throughout. I have seen instances were even before the bride and groom are announced the dancing starts. I would suggest you to go for the announcement of the bride and groom first and then just rock the floor.
