It’s Friday and you’re dragging. You do all the right things to perk up your face and your look but you need a boost, both mentally and emotionally.
What fragrance you wear can affect how you feel. Different scents have different effects on mood and energy.
To dispel the Friday “blahs” try something with a citrus-y base. Citrus scents boost energy and enhance mood. Choose something with lemon, lime, grapefruit, or orange in its formula.
Cool Citrus Basil by Bath & Body Works is a blend of basil and citrus with a hint of sun. On any day, it will leave you pleasantly fragranced and refreshed.

Well, it’s Wednesday and time again for my list of perfumes I would buy just to get the bottle. Here’s a few more bottles that have caught my eye:

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?
