Question of the Day: Do You Have a Signature Fragrance?
November 7, 2011 By 2 Comments
I absolutely love perfume! Whenever I see those cutesy bottles, it's like I am genetically programmed to run at them, spray them in the air just in front of me and smell the pretty (or horrid, sometimes, if I'm being honest) scent.

A Tale of Deodorants
March 4, 2011 By 2 Comments
How many deodorants do you use on a daily basis? I’m curious, because based on what I know from most of my friends’ routines, most people seem to only use one, and that’s something I simply don’t understand! Then again, I’ve also never understood how so many women are … [Read more...]

November 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment
OK, so IÂ’m all for celebrities spreading their wings talent-wise. For some, it even works out. Justin Timberlake, for example, can act almost as well as he can sing, and heÂ’s funny to boot.
