A good night’s sleep is the key to any beauty routine. If we don’t sleep enough or well enough, the dark undereye circles begin to appear, puffy eyes, tired and devitalized - we can’t look our best despite using the best products and the most professional techniques.

Here’s a product guaranteed to promote more restful sleep and make your bed the most inviting and delightful place to be. Pillow Perfumes by Durance are especially designed fragrances for linens. Spray them on bed linens just before bedtime. Light and natural, they provide a soothing aromatherapy that relaxes you while surrounding you in delicious fragrance.

Pillow Perfumes are available in Lavender, Cotton Flower and Passionate Night. Buy them at our Beauty Store.

It’s Wednesday. We are halfway through the work week, and if you are like me, needing a break. So I am taking one today and I am not going to talk about the best way to apply eyeliner or the newest advances in lipstick. Today I am going to tell you about my secret obsession: perfume bottles.

I am definitely the kind who might buy a perfume just for the pleasure of having the bottle sit upon my shelf or dressing table. I seldom indulge because collecting perfume bottles could turn into an expensive habit especially if you find you don’t care for the fragrance they contain.

Perfume designers put just as much creative energy into the packaging of their product as they do the scent itself. Some perfume bottles could be considered works of art. For instance, how about Dali Style by Salvadore Dali?

Kingdom by Alexander McQueen, with its crystal heart turned upside-down makes a statement all its own.

I love the sporty and fun patterns of the Burberrys Brit perfumes - set on a blocky bottle they tell you: this fragrance is for someone adventurous and fun, but grounded and practical. I like the Burberry Brit Red and Burberry Brit Gold bottles too.

Angel by Thierry Mugler is elegant and delicate, a crystalline object from the heavens. Choosing just one of Thierry Mugler’s bottles would be a problem, they are all so interesting in their design.

These are my yearnings for this morning. I wonder if Santa is reading this?

There’s nothing like the smell of fall in the air. A sweet smell of fallen leaves fills the crisp air and the warm aromas of home greet you when you return. Pumpkin pie, apple spice, cinnamon and pecan.

Bath & Body Works brings those delicious scents to your bath with sweet scents that will warm your senses and pamper your skin.

Try Pumpkin Pie Paradise Three in One (body wash, shampoo and bubble bath), Body Lotion or exfoliating Pumpkin Scrub. Other Temptations scents include Pecan Passion, Spiced Apple Rapture and Cinnamon Bun Heaven.

Smelling like Britney Spears appeals to some. As Curious as it may seem, it’s not a Fantasy. Celebrity perfumes and celebrity-endorsed perfumes now claim 23% of the top fragrances in the market. With signature scents from JLo and Paris Hilton, Danielle Steel and Elizabeth Taylor (who started it all), there is no lack of famous fragrance.

But some experts are already warning that the market for celebrity scents is nearing its saturation point as more and more celebrities lend their names to perfumes. Celebrity fragrances can bring in profits from sales to younger consumers but the lifespans of new perfumes are shortening. One assumes they would wane even faster than the popularity of the celebrity involved.

Hopefully, this means that someday, no one will have to endure the stench of Paris as she sizzles.
