Scent of a woman

Valentine's day is just around the corner and i always have a lot of guys asking what perfume should i get her....so this time around i'm making it very easy by stating out my best of the best....sexy, sultry and romantic....whichever suits you.
  
"A good fragrance is really a powerful cocktail of memories and emotions"

Perfumes/Scent can be a personal thing that makes you feel like a goddess....this review are my personal views as a junkii. That are just flirty and sexy not for other purposes. I will also advise you tell me yours...i own a lot of bottles but i also went as far as consulting some friends and family members i know are scent addicts....i will review only 10.

  1. Avon today eau de parfum....this is one of my favorites, it smells so much more expensive than it is and lasts for days if sprayed directly on clothes, very feminine, floral and elegant.
  2. Chanel no 5...this scent is timeless and classy and a must have in every woman's collection....you might not like it immediately you put it on, just wait for it to settle.....and it becomes a beautiful, silky, reserved, subtle, warm, womanly and polished....it's long lasting...i even wear it to bed #winks# 
  3. Jo Malone Orange Blossom Cologne.....this is like flowers from a tree, it's light and sweet in smell...i can't say enough of this....i love love love and all the Jo Malone Jalones there is also the Malone Peony and blush suede cologne....just an addict of Jo Malone.
  4. Chanel Allure...i got this as a gift....i get a lot of compliments on it, it's a bit difficult to categorize....the opening is strong, sweet floral, then a subtle noticeable citrus comes up in the middle....it somehow has a different smell every time....simply gorgeous, nice womanly scent, it's a bit expensive but very seductive #winkwink#
  5. Guerlain Vol de Nuit parfum....this is absolutely gorgeous, like most of the fragrances that come out of the house of Guerlain....pricey, but a very rich smell...a beautiful blend of daffodils and spices mixed with woodsy notes....those kind of perfumes that you can still smell 20 mins after the person wearing it has left...i still have my bottle and i adore it.
  6. Tom Ford Black Orchid....one of my all time Tom Ford favorite's....it's floral, fruity, sweet and woody all at the same time....well it's Tom ford, it grows on you gradually, it's romantic, light and bubbly....love it.
  7. Dolce and Gabbana intense.....this is very spicy and sexy....like vanilla dripping from your body...amazing, i never ever run out of this one.
  8. Red door....either the eau de toilette or the eau de parfum....i have been wearing this all my life, it's clean and fresh
  9. Chloe eau de parfum....you can never go wrong with this perfume....very rich scent...very romantic and the bottle is beautiful.
  10. Tom Ford Cafe Rose....this doesn't come cheap....and forget whatever you think you know about rose...this is a dark, sultry version blended with dark coffee, exotic spice, saffron, resin, amber and black pepper...think rose at it's sexiest.
This is the list i have compiled that i feel are very feminine...don't overdo the use of fragrance, stick to putting it on your pulse point....under wrists, neck, elbow, back of knees....the warmth of the skin will slowly release the fragrance in the air while you move.

Lets know what your favorite perfumes are, so we can make it easier on guys that can't decide on which ones to get......Ciao

Smile


It is very important to take care of your teeth....no matter how busy you get....seriously.....i was at the dentist's on saturday for some deep cleaning and scraping.....and after all that drilling with his evil pirate looking hook, i felt like a trailer went over my jaw....damn, the pain....thank God for painkillers.

With Valentine coming up soon we have to smile confidently and in order to do that we need to focus on us and caring for our teeth and gums, is a very important part of it all. It is necessary to have good oral health habit which can help your teeth stay healthy throughout your life....the healthier your teeth and gums are, the less risk you have for tooth decay and gum disease.


These are five basic steps to caring for your teeth and gums:

  1. Brushing
  2. Flossing
  3. Eating right
  4. Rinsing
  5. Visiting a dentist
Brushing your teeth after every meal or at least twice a day...always brush for two whole minutes but wait for thirty minutes after eating, this will allow the enamel that softened from the acid during eating to re-harden and not get brushed away....hehehe, i bet you all didn't know that #grinning#. Brushing removes plaque (a living bio-film teeming with micro-organisms that cause disease) when bacteria in plaque comes in contact with food they produce acids.....these acids lead to cavities.

Flossing your teeth daily after any food, especially sticky snacks like chocolate, caramel, peanut butter, etc.....flossing gets rid of food and plaque between the teeth where the toothbrush cannot reach....if plaque stays between teeth it can harden into tartar which must be removed by a dentist or hygienist....a tongue scraper is an important part of oral hygiene, this works wonders with stale and smelly breath, use it to remove the plaque from the tongue....this will freshen breath and presumably slow down accumulation of plaque on your teeth....alternatively you can use your toothbrush to clean your tongue.

Eating right....avoid snacking constantly, this can cause plaque build up on your teeth, which increases the risk of getting cavities, avoid sugary and, or sticky foods....sugar feeds the bacteria in your mouth then excretes substances that break down enamel, eat lots of veges and drink water instead of soda or juices....remember that fruit juices are full of acids and natural sugars, if you have to, do so minimally or only drink them at meal times when the saliva is flowing most.
Try to chew less seeds, it may produce fissures in your molars.

Rinsing....Use a fluoride mouthwash, this helps strengthen the enamel....right before you go to bed is a good time

Visiting your dentist.....Try to visit your dentist twice a year and anytime you have a problem with your teeth....schedule a professional cleaning with a dental hygienist.

Tips:
  • Replace your toothbrush every three months.
  • Use a whitening toothpaste or white strips once in a while to whiten your teeth.
  • After having sugary drinks washing your mouth out with water or milk will help get rid of harmful acid.
  • Don't forget to brush the back of your tongue and the upper palate of your mouth.
  • Chewing gum between meals, especially if the gum is sweetened with Xyitol, it helps keep your mouth moist and your teeth cleaner both which are very good for your teeth.
  • When you use mouth wash use as directed on the bottle....read all instructions before using the products.
  • Floss your teeth before brushing, this is so that plaque from the outside and inside surfaces gets dislodged to be killed when you brush....try and drink milk as it is high in calcium. Calcium helps bones and teeth grow stronger.
Now we can all wear those bright coloured lipsticks and smile to display our pearly whites......Ciao
