SCENTS AND SENSIBILITY



SCENTS AND SENSIBILITY

It is always nice to smell good, and smelling good makes you more attractive. In addition, the knowledge that you smell good makes you more confident and makes you feel better. In fact, perfume ranks highest for its feel-good factor! Read on.

Pulse points

Perfume should be sprayed on the pulse points. There are five pulse points: the insides of the wrists, the insides of the elbows or the crook of the arms, the insides of the knees, the nape of the neck and just behind the ears. Unless you want to smell overwhelmingly potent, don't spray strong perfume on all the pulse points. Only do so if you are wearing a very mild perfume. Ideally, don't always spray perfume on the same pulse points every time. If you spray perfume on your wrists for example, spray them on the crook of your arms another time, and on the inside of your knees and the nape of your neck a third time. Though perfume is certainly not proven to harm your skin in any way unless you have an allergy, it is best to play safe.

Allergies


Some people may be allergic to some perfumes, others may be allergic to all perfumes, while still others are allergic to none. Perfumes may irritate your skin causing a rash, or certain perfumes may cause allergies in your friends or colleagues who smell the perfume on you. Very recently, Ms Callaghan from Melbourne sued her colleague, who sprayed on her perfume that she was allergic to, with the result that Ms Callaghan had to be hospitalized! These cases are few and far between, but if a friend is allergic to a perfume you are wearing, show some consideration and spray on a mild perfume the next time you meet him or her.

If you find perfume gives you a rash, you should try spraying it on your clothes. Body head combined with perfume causes the fragrance to emanate even further, but perfume tends to stick to clothes longer, with the result that you smell good for a longer period of time.


Body odour

Whether or not you smell good, is not as important as to ensure you don�t smell bad. Don�t ever spray perfume on your underarms. Deodorants and antiperspirants are to be used on the underarms. If you are wearing something sleeveless, you should best use a roll-on strong antiperspirant for all-day protection.


Price factor

You don't have to spend a packet and invest only in designer perfumes. You will find many perfumes in the market that smell great, and do not come with a hefty price tag. Cheap, strong perfumes tend to go wrong though, so it is best you stick with a mild perfume if you are opting for an inexpensive one.

You could however, invest in one 100ml bottle of your favourite expensive perfume, and use it only for evenings out. It will last for a long time, and there is an advantage to wearing the same perfume every evening, as the next time your spouse or friends smell that perfume on someone else, they will immediately be reminded of you! Marilyn Monroe once said, I sleep in nothing but Chanel No. 5,� and before long sales of this perume tripled! Everybody wanted to smell like Marilyn Monroe.


Potency

Don't wear a perfume that is too strong during the day. Mild, light fragrances are best suited for daytime wear, while stronger perfumes work well at night.


Body chemistry

Often certain perfumes may smell good in the bottle or on paper, but when you spray it on yourself, you may smell pretty bad. You may not even realise that you are reeking, so it is best to ask the honest opinion of a close friend every time you try on a new perfume.

So there you have it. Wear perfume, and wear it often. Perfume adds a much needed finishing touch to your make-up so don�t leave it out!

LOSE WEIGHT: 5 POINT PLAN

Eat an early dinner. Finish off your meal at least three hours before you hit the sack. At what time do you have your dinner? Research suggests that you should have finished your dinner at least three hours before going to bed. So if you start your dinner at nine and are in bed at eleven, you're not doing it right. Needless to say, for most of us it is more practical to change the time we have our dinner than it is to change our bedtime. Don't do it gradually. The most important thing is to make up your mind, make a plan, and stick to it. And what should your plan be Simply to keep a cut-off time after which you will not eat anything. How many of you return home from office at around 7:00, then eat a snack, and have dinner at around 9:30 or so And then, before long, you go to bed. The result All that food, just sitting in your stomach. Not very healthy, to say the least. Instead, skip the snack and have your dinner as soon as you return from office. Not only does is t...

HAIR REMOVAL METHODS

HAIR REMOVAL METHODS Read on for a quick run-through of various hair-removal methods, and select the options that work best for you. Often, a combination of various methods is the best. Waxing Waxing is a very widely used method of hair removal here in India. It is very convenient as one needs just do it once a month or so. In addition, there are a number of women who readily come to your home, charge very nominally, and wax your body quickly and efficiently. The advantages of waxing are that as opposed to shaving or using a cream, hair grows back much slower. Th is is because the hair is removed from the roots. However, if your skin is sensitive you may not be able to wax, as you may develop boils on certain areas of your skin. You may also develop in-growths when the hair grows out, leading to rough skin.

Wearing Jewellery- Look Younger

Jewellery can make us look younger, older, married, unmarried, classy or frumpy, so pick your pieces with care. Jewellery lasts a lifetime, and so one should not buy it on impulse. Many of us have some jewellery lying around at home, that we don't much care for and hardly ever wear. So instead of buying new jewellery, the next time around consider melting your gold to make something different. You can make something completely trendy and very wearable. Isn't it better that you convert the gold into something new, rather than leave it hanging around in the locker. Also, avoid the urge to buy numerous trinkets. Many of us spend far too much money on little things like tiny rings or little pendants. Instead of wearing a little ring on each finger, it makes more sense to invest that money in a single, bigger ring. Rings on each finger suit teenagers more than someone in their late twenties or thirties. For your daughter Opt for silver jewellery for your teenage daughter. ...
