I was at Walmart the week of Mothers day and we were shopping for mom. I was standing in the book section and realized that I was in need of some new perfume. So I scurried out of the book section and went right over to the beauty aisle to see what they had. I was stopped by the new Halle perfume advertisement and was a bit intrigued. I didn't know that she was even coming out with a new fragrance. I had heard that Halle was a work in progress but I wasn't expecting it so soon.

Walmart had a sample bottle out in the open for people to try it out. So I sprayed a little bit on my wrist, aired it out and sniffed. I was in heaven. I wasn't expecting Halle to smell the way it did but it did. So I threw it in my cart and told my husband I wanted Halle for Mother's day.

Now the one thing I wasn't happy about was the fact that Halle was $16 for just a few ounces of perfume. I took a look at my small bottle and was a little skeptical but I figured that I wouldn't have to spray a lot since it was a heavy but sweet fragrance. I was expecting for Halle to stay on me at least half of the day but It didn't. I ended up having to spray myself at least twice a day to keep the fragrance smellable.

Halle smelled extremely good and that wasn't something I could deny but I wasn't too happy with the small bottle or the fact that It didn't stick that well. I'm used to wearing Curve crush, which stays on ALL day.

I personally don't think that Halle is a good buy during the Summer time because it's so sweet. I didn't realized just how sweet it was until I had a barbecue and sprayed it on. The mosquito's ate me alive with no remorse what so ever.

As far as smell is concerned, I loved the way Halle smelled. Even my husband was in love with the smell and he is picky when it comes to perfume and women. I just don't think that it's worth buying all the time. I spend good money on good perfume that sticks to my body with ease and Halle isn't one of those perfumes.

Women who avidly read magazines know that the perfume ads sometimes get in the way of actually reading the magazine.

The perfume ads are printed on thicker paper, and can make magazine pages misbehave. Some perfume ad scents are also overwhelming when there are three or more in one magazine.

For these reasons, I typically tear out all of the perfume advertisements in fashion magazines before I read them. Over the years, I have found some creative uses for these scented papers.

Because I don't like to apply perfume to my skin by rubbing paper on it, I rarely ever take these new scents for test drive. I have found other ways to explore these perfumes.

Here are 5 uses for perfume sheets in magazines:

1. Drawer Liners

You may already line bureau drawers with some kind of kitchen liner, or special drawer liner. In "the old days" people used folded newspapers to line dresser drawers. I find that using one scented perfumed sheet in a drawer not only lines the drawer, it also adds a pleasant aroma.

This is a free way to keep clothes freshly scented.

2. Car Freshener

For a scent different than "new car" or vanilla, place an opened perfume sheet from a magazine under a seat in your car. You can enjoy a new scent every week, when you use the advertisements you have collected.

3. Linens and Towels Freshener

Another place to use these free scented sheets is to place them in cabinets where linens or towels are stored.

4. Closet Freshener

Another way to use perfume sheets in magazines is to tack them up in a closet. This works great for closets that do not get much uses, including closets which house seasonal clothing.

5. Under the Sink

Underneath the kitchen sink in a house may not be the best looking or best-smelling place in the house. Use these free scented sheets to make those dark places smell a little bit better.

6. In Your Gym Bag

You may empty your gym bag every time you go to the gym. If you go to the gym three or four times a week, you may only wash the gym bag itself once a week or less. Tame any odor emanating from your gym bag when you travel to and from the gym, toting around sweaty exercise clothing or wet bathing suits and towels.

Place a scented magazine sheet in one of the pockets of the gym bag. It will keep the gym bag, and the gym locker smelling a bit more fresh.

Any of these six ideas are great ways to scent your personal spaces, when you use free scented perfume advertisements from magazines.

It's happened to us all. You see an attractive women, neatly dressed, and think she looks fantastic. Then you follow her into an elevator or other enclosed space and you nearly choke from the overwhelming fumes of her perfume.

Perfume and cologne can enhance the overall appearance and feel of a person. The intoxicating scent that is complimentary to a person simply increases their overall attractiveness, but when perfume is applied wrong, the effects can actually decrease your overall attractiveness.

Let's look at a few hints and tips for applying perfume or cologne so that it increases attractiveness while not overpowering the senses.

First, when selecting a fragrance at a store, you should always try a sample of the fragrance on your skin first. Perfume and cologne are developed in such a way as to combine with your natural scent and your body chemistry to create a fragrance that is unique to you. They was a perfume smells straight from the bottle will be very different than how it smells on your skin. It's always best to try a sample on your wrist and wait ten minutes after applying it to decide if you like the fragrance.

Secondly, your sense of smell is much stronger later in the day and during warmer weather, so when selecting fragrances at the store, try to shop in the afternoon or early evening versus in the morning.

Colder weather reduces scents, so stronger perfumes and colognes can be selected when the weather is cooler and lighter scents can be used when the weather becomes warmer. Wearing the same fragrance all year may not be the best choice, because weather changes often change how a scent smells and how strong it is. It's best to have two or three favorite scents.

Now that you have selected your fragrance, learning how to apply it is as important as the fragrance itself.

If you have dry skin, perfumes are oil based, and are a better choice, whereas someone with oilier skin can use cologne for the same strength of fragrance. The oil of the skin or the oil in the perfume will help the fragrance spread on the skin and increase the duration of the scent.

Ironically, deodorant soaps and lotions can actually cause your fragrance to not work or to be greatly weakened. If you are going to wear perfume of cologne, do not use a deodorant soap on your skin prior to applying the perfume. However, it is a good idea to apply perfume or cologne shortly after a shower or bath, because the water and heat from bathing opens pours, thus allowing the perfume to absorb into the skin and release the fragrance better.

If you only want a light fragrance that is not blended with your own scent, one option is to spray the perfume of cologne into the air and walk through the mist of the scent. This will provide a very light scent that mostly is on your clothing or hair, and thus the scent will not be as unique to your own body chemistry. The scent may not last as long when applied this way.

As for where to apply perfume, it has long been recommended to apply perfume to what are known as the pulse points of the body. When doing this, the perfume or cologne is said to spread my quickly and these areas of the body are slightly warmer and will provide a stronger fragrance.

Some of these areas include: behind the ear, at the temple of the forehead, center of the neck, each wrist, behind the knee. Either a light spray or a small dab of fragrance on each of these locations will help your fragrance last all day.

Remember, other people can smell your fragrance much stronger than you can, especially after you have been wearing it for some time, because you will have become acclimated to the fragrance. Most of the time, there is no need to reapply a fragrance during the course of an average day unless you have showered or sweated profusely. However, adding more fragrance when going out for the evening should be acceptable.

Many people are sensitive to fragrance, and the point is not to cause an allergy attack in someone or to overpower them with your scent. The scent should be subtle, a part of who you are, not the first thing someone notices about you, and then can't forget because your scent lingers in the room stronger and more powerfully than you do!

Importance of Medicine

NEW REPORT: Insurers May Re-Label Administrative Costs As Medical Care To Meet Health Reform’s Requirements

The new federal health care law requires that insurers spend at least 80% of customers’ premiums on medical care in the individual insurance market, and 85% in the employer/group market. Starting in 2011, insurers that don’t meet these requirements will have to issue rebates to consumers “based on the amount insurers’ spending falls below these minimums.” Yesterday, a new report released by the Senate Committee on Commerce Science and Transportation found that while many of the nation’s largest insurers “modestly increased the percentage of premium dollars they spent on medical care in 2009,” the disparities “in medical spending between market segments remained larger than ever.

Health insures, in other words, still view the individual and small group markets as their most profitable sectors and they continue to spend a smaller percentage of premium dollars on actual medical care — shifting a significant amount towards administrative expenses and profits. For example, while the largest insurers used about 15 cents out of every premium dollar for administrative expenses in the large group market, “they used more than 26 cents out of every individual premium dollar for administrative expenses,” the report notes. [Note: the original report says "medical expenses" rather than "administrative expenses." I contacted the staff and they said that this was a mistake.]

Some insurers are already meeting the new federal requirements, while others will have to spend more on medical care to comply with the law:

The analysis found that the largest for-profit health insurers spend a lower percentage of their customers’ premium dollars on patient care than other health insurers. The analysis also found that in the individual and small group markets, health insurers spend a significantly smaller portion of each premium dollar on medical care than they do in the large group market.

Look:

The problem will come when insurers that fall short, try to meet the new minimums. The ratio is closely monitored by Wall Street investors and so insurers will have every incentive to continue spending less on care and increasing profits. They may try to artificially inflate their MLR by reclassifying administrative costs as ‘medical care.’ Already, WellPoint — the nation’s largest insurance company — announced that it has reclassified some of its administrative costs as medical spending in order to increase its medical loss ratio. As the report notes, “By reclassifying these expenses as medical benefits, the executives projected that WellPoint’s 2010 medical loss ratio (which the company calls its “benefit expense ratio”) would increase by 170 basis points, or 1.7%. Because WellPoint expects to collect more than $30 billion in premiums from its commercial health care customers in 2010, this “accounting reclassification” means that the company has converted more than a half a billion dollars of this year’s administrative expenses into medical expenses.”

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has written a letter to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) requesting their assistance in defining medical loss ratio (MLR) standards in the new health care law and has issued two formal requests for public comment on how best to define the term. Since the MLR requirements are one of the few ways to prevent insurers from earning outrageous profits before most of reform’s provisions kick in, HHS “and state insurance commissioners will have to remain vigilant and focused on ensuring that consumers get the benefit of the new federally mandated medical loss ratios.” These definitions, in other words, have to be air tight to ensure that companies can’t simply reclassify their expenses.

After returning home from being in Haiti during the aftermath of the January 12th earthquake, I had to have a minor surgical procedure done to remove pins from my small finger. As the nurse was prepping me for surgery, I suddenly began to sob uncontrollably as images of what I'd just witnessed in Haiti flooded my mind.

Two things hit me in that moment: 1) the thousands of Haitians that suffered life-threatening injuries did not get near the level of treatment that I was getting for a broken finger and 2) how difficult it must be for U.S. doctors serving in Haiti to be unable to treat their patients with the standard of care they are accustomed to in the U.S. healthcare system.

I went to Haiti with MedShare two weeks after the earthquake to capture the medical situation, and learn how MedShare can help improve the quality of healthcare in Haiti through providing medical supplies and equipment. MedShare is a national nonprofit organization that recovers and redistributes surplus medical supplies from U.S. hospitals and medical companies to those in need. They immediately responded to the dire need for medical supplies in Haiti following the earthquake and since then have shipped over 75 tons of requested supplies.

During my time in Haiti, I visited hospitals and clinics throughout Port-au-Prince, interviewing patients, volunteer nurses and doctors, Haitian medical practitioners and hospital administrators. One of the things I learned from many of the Haitians I spoke with is that Haiti is not that different now than it was before the earthquake. The earthquake has only added to and exemplified the needs that have existed in Haiti for years, healthcare being one of them.

The USNS Comfort may have picked up its anchors, but the health needs are still exponential. Hospital triage lines are still hundreds of people long. Many Haitians are flocking to the hospitals seeking treatment for serious medical conditions that existed before the earthquake. Until the earthquake happened and humanitarian workers rushed in, most Haitians could not afford medical treatment. Doctors are not treating as many earthquake trauma injuries, but the various medical problems they are seeing are still a result of the earthquake.

There have been billions of dollars committed by the UN and various NGOs to the rebuilding of Haiti, and healthcare must remain a top priority. The rainy season has arrived, and with millions living in unsanitary conditions, bacterial infections and diseases are being born. Without quality healthcare, the Haitian people will die of treatable illnesses, such as pneumonia, cholera, malaria and diarrhea. It would be a great injustice to see another wave of preventable deaths occur.



However, no matter how much money invested, there also must be strong leadership in Haiti to successfully rebuild a sustainable healthcare system. MedShare has identified several hospitals that have the leadership and operational capacity to provide quality healthcare, if only provided the adequate resources. They identify and forecast their medical needs and develop solutions, and MedShare works with them to implement those needs.

As thousands of governments, organizations and people around the world unite to rebuild Haiti, we must strive to build a quality healthcare system to give the people the medical treatment they deserve, and prevent any more unnecessary deaths.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: Introduction

The Britney Spears Curious perfume hit store shelves in 2004 and was marketed by a very sensual commercial in which Britney Spears had starred in. The commercial depicted Ms. Britney Spears fantasizing about a man in the next room. The commercial hyped up the perfume so much that women all over rushed to store shelves to buy the Britney Spears Curious fragrance. With all the hype surrounding the commercial, is the Britney Spears Curious perfume appropriate for all women of age?

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: The Product & Packaging

The Britney Spears Curious fragrance comes in a package that is a black box decorated with metallic blue and pink flowers all over. The fragrance bottle itself is of turquoise color and made of glass. The bottle is very elegant and that it can be compared to antique perfume containers. The perfume bottle is odd shaped, almost like of a spaceship. Pink removable heart charms are added around the spray top of the Britney Spears Curious fragrance. All fragrance bottles are equipped with a silver push down spray top; however, larger sizes of the perfume can purchase an attachment that you squeeze a bulb to make the fragrance dispense such as how antique perfumes used to be. Gift sets for the Britney Spears Curious perfume are available as well as numerous sizes of the perfume. Fragrance sizes vary and mostly consist of 3.4 ounces and 1.7 ounces. The Curious scent line also has a Britney Spears Curious Perfume Body Soufflé and shower gel that are perfect for layering the fragrance.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: The Fragrance

According to the advertisements of the Britney Spears Curious perfume, the fragrance can be described as sensual and romantic. The perfume is created by using Louisiana magnolia flowers, vanilla, musk, golden Anjou pear, and dewy lotus flowers. The perfume is on the lightweight in terms of powerfulness. Thus, the scent wears off rather quickly and must be reapplied within several hours. The Britney Spears Curious perfume is appropriate for all women of age. The scent is neither too trendy or overbearing.

Britney Spears Curious Perfume Review: Conclusion

The Britney Spears Curious perfume is widely distributed in most retail outlets such as: Wal-Mart, Macys, Dillards, and numerous other vendors. The fragrance can also be found online at discount prices. A 3.4 ounce bottle of the Curious perfume will cost between $40 to $50. The fragrance is one of those perfumes that a consumer will either love or hate. I would recommend buying a smaller version of the Britney Spears Curious perfume and trying the scent out for a week until investing in a larger bottle of the perfume.

JULIAN ROUAS PARIS feelings

I have discovered a new favorite perfume in the last couple of years. It's called "Rapture" and it's manufactured by Victoria's Secret. It was introduced in 1992. It's a versatile all-around scent that can be worn day or night.

Rapture by Victoria's Secret is a complex blend of many scents. These include orange blossom and citrus, musk, amber, vanilla, freesia, jasmine, and rose. Rapture would be classified as an oriental fragrance. Rapture smells very feminine and luxurious. Victoria's Secret Rapture is a sophisticated perfume that is not heavy at all. It smells very clean and light. I prefer simple fragrances, so this was a change of pace for me.

Rapture's top notes are mainly citrus and orange blossom. The middle notes consist of freesia, jasmine and rose. These heart notes tend to last for quite awhile. The base note mainly consists of amber, with a hint of vanilla and musk. The base notes are very deep and sensual.

Victoria's Secret Rapture is available in many products and sizes. The cologne spray is in .75 ounce and 1.7 ounce bottles. A purse spray is available. Rapture is also available as a body wash that is called shower cream. It is thicker than most body washes. It leaves your skin feeling very silky and smelling great. An 8 ounce bottle of Rapture Pure Silk body lotion can also be bought. Victoria's Secret also offers Rapture Gift Box sets of different products.

Rapture by Victoria's Secret is a bit expensive. The 1.7 ounce bottle of cologne spray is $35. The .75 ounce purse spray is $19.50. Rapture Rich Velvet body cream costs $21. Rapture Pure Silk body lotion is priced at $20. The gift box sets are found during holidays and usually cost about $85.

The packaging will probably be Rapture's downfall. The perfume is packaged in an attractive heart shaped bottle with gold trim. Upon closer inspection, the gold trim is gaudy cheap plastic. The red and gold cap on the perfume bottle is also made of plastic. Five dollar bottles of perfume are presented with better quality packaging.

Speaking of packaging, I have bought two of the gift box sets in different years. The first box was very nice. It was covered in red satin material and was very heavy. The gift box set I bought the following year was dreadful. It looked like a cheap box of chocolates that a person buys at the drug store.

I have made multiple purchases of Rapture perfume. Everytime without fail, the perfume bottles stop operating correctly. I had to throw away the miniature bottle that came with the gift set. The spring broke on the bottle and I couldn't fix it or find a way to get the rest of the perfume out of the bottle. It ended up leaking on my cabinet and staining it. Also after using about one-third of the perfume, every Rapture cologne bottle starts refusing to spray. The spray simply quits working. And the plastic caps always crack. Sometimes they get stuck on the bottle. The caps must be spray painted gold, because the gold starts peeling.

Sadly, I will never buy "Rapture" by Victoria's Secret again. For a fragrance to cost as much as "Rapture" does, the packaging is cheap. It's ultra cheap, in fact. And I can't afford to pay $35 for perfume that I'm forced to throw away with most of it still in the bottle.

JULIAN ROUAS PARIS extacy

I used to like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; that was until I saw their mugs pasted on the PETA website. Turns out the twins like fur... I like animals... so now, the girls suck. But hey, so does their perfume!!!

I have had 2 bottles of perfume by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for quite some time now. One is labeled, coincidentally...One. The other is called Two. Today though, we're going to focus on One.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is actually made by Coty. A designer name that has been popping up a lot lately. I have mixed feelings when it comes to Coty fragrances. I don't love the designer fragrances, nor do I hate them.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, has sad on my desk for nearly a year now. I got both from a friend for my birthday, and ever since first smelling them, I never really used it again.

Bottle:

One comes in a cylinder shaped bottle. The glass is clear with a very slight tint of blue added in. Running down the length of the bottle is the name of the perfume. There is nothing special about the bottle, nor would anyone want to save it once the perfume was gone.

Scent:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty smells like blueberry mixed with hand soap. It is supposed to be a clean, fresh scent. However I got a soapy blueberry bubble gum scent. It's not really that natural, but it is a relatively playful scent.

I liked it. I really did. Even though the scent was not a natural one, or sophisticated one, it was still a pleasant one.

Last:

So I liked the scent... however there is no point in liking a scent that does not last for longer than 5 minutes. That was seriously all I got out of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty. The scent smelled lovely for 5 minutes, and then it vanished; up and disappeared... not a hint, not a trace...just gone.

Recommended Wear:

What wear? There is no wear to recommend wear.

Overall:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a nice scent, it truly is. Sadly though, nice scents are 100% useless if they do not last. For me Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is a waste of natural resources. It's sad that they would release such a suck-o-rama in a bottle.

Pricing and Availability:

You can still see this crummy stick of perfume in local stores such as Walmart, Kohl's and other department stores. The pricing is around $10.00 for the bottle. You can also buy them in gift sets, which would include both One, and Two.

Sadly though, I do not even find One, to be worth $1.00.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a skip in my opinion. It just does not stick around long enough for me to go ahead and recommend it.

When I discovered that the perfume I was about to review had a ginormous price tag of $1,500... I nearly had a heart attack. Especially seeing how my mom picked this bottle up for only $1.00. Yep, $1.00 for a $1,500 bottle of perfume.

It pays to shop at thrift stores girls! So nyah to everyone who judged me based on my thrift store purchases.

For $1.00 approximately one week ago my mom walked out of our local thrift store with a pretty bottle of perfume. Today while looking for pricing information and availability of this perfume, I realized what she had found was more than what we could of ever imagined.

A 0.5 ounce bottle of Donna Karan Chaos. It turns out DKNY Chaos is a rare, highly sought after, discontinued, expensive fragrance. Who knew?!

Appearance:

The 0.5 ounce bottle is probably the most unique thing about it, and with momma Dukes being a collector of crystal, she bought it for it's appearance. Who would of thought at the time that her $1.00 find was seriously a down payment on a car?! Woo-Hoo! The 0.5 ounce bottle comes in a perfume bottle made of Falcon Crystal. It is long, and narrow, and quite frankly the most beautiful bottle in her collection.

Due to it's narrow crystal slim cut, it cannot be placed upright. You can however leave it in the box, or place it down.

The Scent:

Now when I first inhaled DKNY Chaos, I was not very impressed. To me Chaos smelled like pencil shavings, and burnt wood. Chaos apparently is not for me. I love woody outdoor scents, but Chaos is too strong for my likings. It just reminds me of a lumber yard; for some this is a lovely fragrance...but me...meh.

After discovering that Chaos was so pricey, I tried giving it the benefit of the doubt. I mean hell, there has to be a reason it's so costly. After giving Chaos another try, (which was hard to do, seeing how every frigging spray shot cost nearly $70.00 or more per shot, considering 0.5 ounces does not get you far. However I had to try Chaos once more for this reviews sake).

A more elaborate summary of the rare Chaos scent:

For the first 2 hours I smelled like pencil shavings. However Donna Karan Chaos took on another mild scent the longer I wore it. I was now able to smell a more subtle amber scent, which was likable...but not worth $1,500!

As more time progressed the woodsy scent turned into a more subtle cedar mixed with musk. I actually began to like it more and more as the initial scent faded.

As I looked into Chaos even more, I learned that it contains the rare Agarwood as a fragrance note. Agarwood makes Chaos smell so darn woodsy. It comes from the Asian Aquilaria tree. Due to the low number of these trees, Agarwood is more rare, which makes it more expensive...which is why Donna Karan's Chaos is so highly sought after...yet discontinued.

Last:

DKNY Chaos stood with me for the entire day, and was still detectable into the night.

Pricing and Availability:

DKNY Chaos is very expensive, and only serious lovers of the scent would pay such a high price. The 0.5 ounce Falcon Crystal bottle of Chaos goes for around $1,500, or less on ebay. However I learned that larger bottle of Chaos sell for a bit less. I assume it is because the larger bottles are mode of glass, and not crystal. Either way though, Chaos; no matter what size bottle it comes in, asks for a hearty lump of cash.

For those interested in perhaps purchasing Chaos, click here.

Recommendation:

DKNY Chaos is expensive, for some worth the price tag. For me though...moms bottle is landing a spot on ebay. I find that the price is just too ridiculous for what you are actually getting.

It's happens to all of us. You're standing in a room or passing by a crowded street or sidewalk and all of the sudden, a truly tantalizing scent catches you completely by surprise. Almost unconsciously, your head swivels as you crane your neck to catch a glimpse of the one who nearly lifted you off your feet with such an arousing fragrance.

The general consensus seems to point out that scent is the strongest sense tied to memory. Selecting the right fragrance to suit you becomes a sort of art as you attempt to find the perfect blend between flirty flowers, juicy fruits, musk and more.

Once you find the ideal scent to match your personality - sexy, playful, subtle and so forth - you can begin to take advantage of the powerful impact fragrance has on members of the opposite sex. Consider investing in a travel-sized vial of your preferred perfume as well, so you can easily transport it and always have it with you for a quick freshening up.

As you become comfortable with your new fragrance, take things to the next level by introducing it into your love life. If you won't see your sweetheart for a number of days or weeks, be sure to pen a passionate love letter, and don't forget to spritz a little of your perfume on the stationery before you pour your heart onto it. If you're feeling especially daring (or sappy) you can complete the romantic effect by sealing the envelope with a lipstick smooch.

Another great tactic is to spray a bit of perfume on yourself just before you borrow an article of his clothing. If you'll be wearing his jacket for a while in the colder weather, spray a little perfume on the back of your neck without getting any directly on his coat. This way it will subtly adhere to the coat's collar so he notices your fragrance and thinks of you immediately the next time he wears it. If you forget to bring your pajamas and have to borrow a t-shirt one night, just spray a tiny bit of your fragrance on your body to gently introduce it onto his clothing. Whether he wears the shirt again or washes it when he gets it back, he's sure to recognize your fragrance.

For the grand finale, linger in bed just a little while longer than your honey does. When he leaves the room to brush his teeth or shower, spritz some perfume on his pillow, either on top or bottom, or a little bit on both sides. This tactic is especially effective if you won't see each other for a little while, because you know you will be the last thing he thinks about before he falls to sleep, and also the first thing he imagines when he wakes up. As soon as his head hits the pillow you will be on his mind, and if not in his arms, what better place to be?

Seductive Places to Target with Your Perfume:
- Spray a little perfume on letters and birthday or holiday cards.
- Let a little of your fragrance remain on his clothing that he lets you borrow.
- Apply a little perfume to your pulse points while you are in his car so the fragrance lingers just a bit.
- Leave him a gentle, sexy reminder by spraying a little bit of perfume on his pillow, especially when you won't be around.
- If he keeps a blanket in his car or draped across his couch, be sure to introduce just a touch of your favorite fragrance so he thinks of you right away when he uses it.

Perfume is a wonderful invention, allowing you to make your presence known, even in your absence! Get creative and realize that this aromatic accessory can enhance your romantic side, intrigue your partner and bring your face to mind even when you aren't physically present. Instigate more intimate moments with a spritz here and there of a sexy, flirty fragrance. You won't regret it!

Perfume is enjoyed by millions to create a lovely smell that pleases the senses of others. Most commercial brands of fragrance are kept secret. The special blend of ingredients uncovers a wide variety of emotions. The combination of oils, compounds, fixatives, and solvents merge within a decorative bottle. Inside that bottle, making the harmonious chord of scent, are three specific notes.

The main note is refereed to as the top note. This is the scent produced from the first application onto the skin. Forming an initial impression is the main selling point in the perfume industry. The top note is usually described as "fresh", "assertive", "sharp", or having a citrus appeal. Lasting only five to ten minutes, this note evaporates quickly, the overall impression of this aromatic quality is crucial. Examples of commonly used oils are: basil, orange, bergamot, lemon, pine, peppermint, and eucalyptus.

Notes of the middle, or heart notes, are the ones smelled after the top has dissipated. Being the center of attention this scent is full bodied and pleasant. Warming the skin, the true scent is about to emerge. Being strong, lasting and potent the middle note is a nice transition after the shock of the first. Appearing from two minutes to an hour this note is the one most often smelled as you navigate through the day. Typical oils used are lavender, rose, chamomile, fennel, nutmeg, juniper, and tea tree.

The final note in the structure of perfume is known as the base note. The combination of the middle and base notes develops the main theme of the fragrance. Adding depth and solidity, to the composition, the base note is used to give rise to boldness and strength. Rich and deep this note is usually not perceived until thirty minutes after the application. Aimalic notes are known to last as much as twenty-four hours. Base notes include: wood oils (cedar wood, gaiac, linaloe wood, sandalwood, etc.), resin oils (frankincense, myrrh, etc), laburnum, oak moss absolute, patchouli, vanilla, and vetiver.

There are plant, animal, natural, and synthetic sources available, besides oils, to use as your three notes. Plants are the most popular used compounds in the manufacturing of perfume. Honey and musk are derived from animals that have been used in creating widely used scents. Natural sources might include oak moss, tree moss, or seaweed. Modern fragrances are established by means of synthetic sources. Linalool and coumarin are both naturally occurring compounds that can be cheaply synthesized from terpense.

Perfume contains a variety of ingredients which are often organized into four groups. The primary scents are used as a base like rose or cola. Then, a modifier is added like honey or cherry to give the base some character. Next, a blender is added to the mix, which can be a multitude of ingredients, like linalool and hydroxycitronellol. Finally, a fixative is mixed in to support the primary scent. Common fixatives are wood and amber which blend well with many other scents. The top, middle, and base notes of a fragrance may have separate primary scents and supporting ingredients. Leaving room for ultimate creativity the expression of your own scent is priceless.

A sample recipe:

Ingredients:

2 cup of water
1 cup fresh chopped flower blossoms

Directions:

In a bowl place a cheesecloth where the edges are hanging over the bowl. Fill with 1 cup of flower blossoms of your choice. Pour water over the flowers until they are completely covered. Let the mixture sit overnight. The next day using the edges of cheesecloth pull it out of the bowl and gently squeeze the scented water into a small pot. Simmer the water until about 1 teaspoon is left. Cool and place into a small bottle. Making perfume this way has a shelf life of about one month. Other suggestions for flowers: Lavender, Lilac, Orange Blossoms or even Honeysuckle. Anything that is highly fragrant works best.

It's happened to us all. You see an attractive women, neatly dressed, and think she looks fantastic. Then you follow her into an elevator or other enclosed space and you nearly choke from the overwhelming fumes of her perfume.

Perfume and cologne can enhance the overall appearance and feel of a person. The intoxicating scent that is complimentary to a person simply increases their overall attractiveness, but when perfume is applied wrong, the effects can actually decrease your overall attractiveness.

Let's look at a few hints and tips for applying perfume or cologne so that it increases attractiveness while not overpowering the senses.

First, when selecting a fragrance at a store, you should always try a sample of the fragrance on your skin first. Perfume and cologne are developed in such a way as to combine with your natural scent and your body chemistry to create a fragrance that is unique to you. They was a perfume smells straight from the bottle will be very different than how it smells on your skin. It's always best to try a sample on your wrist and wait ten minutes after applying it to decide if you like the fragrance.

Secondly, your sense of smell is much stronger later in the day and during warmer weather, so when selecting fragrances at the store, try to shop in the afternoon or early evening versus in the morning.

Colder weather reduces scents, so stronger perfumes and colognes can be selected when the weather is cooler and lighter scents can be used when the weather becomes warmer. Wearing the same fragrance all year may not be the best choice, because weather changes often change how a scent smells and how strong it is. It's best to have two or three favorite scents.

Now that you have selected your fragrance, learning how to apply it is as important as the fragrance itself.

If you have dry skin, perfumes are oil based, and are a better choice, whereas someone with oilier skin can use cologne for the same strength of fragrance. The oil of the skin or the oil in the perfume will help the fragrance spread on the skin and increase the duration of the scent.

Ironically, deodorant soaps and lotions can actually cause your fragrance to not work or to be greatly weakened. If you are going to wear perfume of cologne, do not use a deodorant soap on your skin prior to applying the perfume. However, it is a good idea to apply perfume or cologne shortly after a shower or bath, because the water and heat from bathing opens pours, thus allowing the perfume to absorb into the skin and release the fragrance better.

If you only want a light fragrance that is not blended with your own scent, one option is to spray the perfume of cologne into the air and walk through the mist of the scent. This will provide a very light scent that mostly is on your clothing or hair, and thus the scent will not be as unique to your own body chemistry. The scent may not last as long when applied this way.

As for where to apply perfume, it has long been recommended to apply perfume to what are known as the pulse points of the body. When doing this, the perfume or cologne is said to spread my quickly and these areas of the body are slightly warmer and will provide a stronger fragrance.

Some of these areas include: behind the ear, at the temple of the forehead, center of the neck, each wrist, behind the knee. Either a light spray or a small dab of fragrance on each of these locations will help your fragrance last all day.

Remember, other people can smell your fragrance much stronger than you can, especially after you have been wearing it for some time, because you will have become acclimated to the fragrance. Most of the time, there is no need to reapply a fragrance during the course of an average day unless you have showered or sweated profusely. However, adding more fragrance when going out for the evening should be acceptable.

Many people are sensitive to fragrance, and the point is not to cause an allergy attack in someone or to overpower them with your scent. The scent should be subtle, a part of who you are, not the first thing someone notices about you, and then can't forget because your scent lingers in the room stronger and more powerfully than you do!

I used to like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; that was until I saw their mugs pasted on the PETA website. Turns out the twins like fur... I like animals... so now, the girls suck. But hey, so does their perfume!!!

I have had 2 bottles of perfume by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for quite some time now. One is labeled, coincidentally...One. The other is called Two. Today though, we're going to focus on One.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is actually made by Coty. A designer name that has been popping up a lot lately. I have mixed feelings when it comes to Coty fragrances. I don't love the designer fragrances, nor do I hate them.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, has sad on my desk for nearly a year now. I got both from a friend for my birthday, and ever since first smelling them, I never really used it again.

Bottle:

One comes in a cylinder shaped bottle. The glass is clear with a very slight tint of blue added in. Running down the length of the bottle is the name of the perfume. There is nothing special about the bottle, nor would anyone want to save it once the perfume was gone.

Scent:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty smells like blueberry mixed with hand soap. It is supposed to be a clean, fresh scent. However I got a soapy blueberry bubble gum scent. It's not really that natural, but it is a relatively playful scent.

I liked it. I really did. Even though the scent was not a natural one, or sophisticated one, it was still a pleasant one.

Last:

So I liked the scent... however there is no point in liking a scent that does not last for longer than 5 minutes. That was seriously all I got out of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty. The scent smelled lovely for 5 minutes, and then it vanished; up and disappeared... not a hint, not a trace...just gone.

Recommended Wear:

What wear? There is no wear to recommend wear.

Overall:

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a nice scent, it truly is. Sadly though, nice scents are 100% useless if they do not last. For me Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, is a waste of natural resources. It's sad that they would release such a suck-o-rama in a bottle.

Pricing and Availability:

You can still see this crummy stick of perfume in local stores such as Walmart, Kohl's and other department stores. The pricing is around $10.00 for the bottle. You can also buy them in gift sets, which would include both One, and Two.

Sadly though, I do not even find One, to be worth $1.00.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, One, by Coty is a skip in my opinion. It just does not stick around long enough for me to go ahead and recommend it.

Here is the new ad for Jennifer Aniston’s soon-to-be-launched perfume, Lolavie. I’m still disappointed that she didn’t use any of our ingenious names! Oh well. I’m loving this ad though - she looks very pretty with her hair damp and messed up, with sort of moody sunset (sunrise?) lighting. I want her pedicure too. But is the whole “wrapped in a towel, sitting on some rocks” thing a little… weird? Like, I feel like she just washed up on the island and Charles Widmore is going to put her in the sweatshop of electromagnetic death whilst Jacob fights for her soul. Ohmigod, Aniston is a candidate!!! Note: only Lost fans will get that joke.

Anyhoodle, Aniston gave an interview to Women’s Wear Daily (story via Us Weekly) about the perfume launch. Note: Us Weekly can’t even talk about Aniston’s perfume with literally bringing up the uncool Bermuda Triangle.

Jennifer Aniston says there’s “a long story” behind her perfume name, Lolavie, which roughly translates into “laughing at life.”

“And, honestly, it’s too personal to tell,” teases the actress, 41, to Women’s Wear Daily.

The bottle, though, was inspired by Aniston’s affinity for modern architecture, she says — a shared hobby with ex Brad Pitt. (She once deadpanned that she, Pitt, and Angelina Jolie were in an “insane Bermuda triangle.”)

Aniston says her scent, which will cost between $46.50 and $61.95, will smell “sexy and clean… floral, but not too flowery.”

“I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan,” she explains. “I want people to go, ‘What is that? You smell great!’ But most of all, I wanted it to smell natural.”

Aniston says she’s been approached numerous times to create a fragrance but, “Nothing made me go, ‘Oh that would be fun’ until this,” she says.

She has been heavily involved in every step over the past year-and-a-half, from creating the scent to conceptualizing the ads, which were shot at her fave getaway spot, Cabo San Lucas, and will debut this June in British fashion mags.

“It wasn’t just about showing up for a shoot and putting my name on a bottle. I felt like a little chemist,” she says. “It’s turned out to be an extension of myself as opposed to slapping my name on something.”

She doesn’t have plans to expand a beauty line, but she does want to branch out in her career.

“I have a project in development. I’m going to direct,” she says. “After you get enough movies under your belt, you sit back and go, ‘What’s next?’ It’s getting to be the time where creatively I want to turn in a different direction.”

After wrapping her current film Just Go With It, she’ll next shoot a father-daughter indie project, Buttercup.

“I’m really excited about that one,” she says. “It’s not trying not to make people laugh and it’s not a big tent pole picture. It will be more for me — and for the people who say, ‘You should do something serious.’”

[From Us Weekly]

Well, good for her, et cetera. I don’t get how the story behind “laughing at life” is “too personal to tell”. I mean, isn’t it kind of obvious the story involves SPOILER: laughing at life? As opposed to Lolamerde, “laughing at sh-t”. Or LolaTriangle, obviously. LolaGoat? LolaGerBILL?!? I’m out. Now I’m LolaAniston.

My mom and I are thrift store junkies. We go in looking for deals that you cannot find anywhere else. Sometimes we get extremely lucky, and other times we come out empty handed.

We hit this one local thrift store up weekly because they seem to have new inventory every Friday. Hitting the thrift store up on a Saturday can sometimes result in winning the mini designer lottery. At times we find two dollar designer clothes, bags, and sometimes; perfume.

I was not able to hit up the local spot this week, but my mom did.

She rushed inside with a paper bag filled with what appeared to be designer perfumes. I could hear them clanging against one another and I could not wait to see what she had gotten hold of. I looked inside of the bag, and she huddled around it, as if she had to protect her findings from me.

She hit the designer perfume gold mine, and she bought all she could find, no wonder she didn't want me looking in. She wanted them ALL for herself.

Inside I noted all types of brands that I knew I would like. From Chanel, to Donna Karan. Some of the bottles were half empty, and others still had their seals on them. Some we already had, and some we had never heard of.

Amarige by Givenchy was one perfume in particular that I had never heard of. I have heard of Givenchy in the past, but I was never familiar with the brand, or this particular scent.

Appearance:

Amarige came in its original red box, with gold lettering. A bit of dust had collected on the box, but inside the perfume was barely touched.

The bottle itself is shaped like a human heart (at least that s what it looks like to me). The bottles top looks like a soft serve ice cream swirl, which is actually sort of pretty, and unique.

My Use:

I sprayed some of the rusty water colored perfume on to my wrists, and immediately got hit with the overpowering scent of grandmothers. It was like a granny festival on my wrist. This crap stunk, and it stunk bad.

It has that first kick of granny, then a high impact punch of rotting dried up roses, and...rust.

Good find mom!

Pricing and Availability:

After sniffing this horrendous granny spray I of course had to look the brand up before writing this review. I wanted to bring to you the price of this gunk, and where to find (eh-hem...avoid) this perfume.

Amarige by Givenchy can be found at any local perfume store, ranging from $10 to a jaw dropping $70.00 (for the granny gift set).

Overall:

Amarige by Givency smells like your grandma. It stinks to the high heavens, and it lasts a really, really long time. If you want to test the scent, make sure you DO NOT spray it on your clothing, as it will stay...till you wash the clothing.

-I guess if you find it at a thrift store; barely used, something must be wrong.

Recommendation:

Negative.

Amarige by Givenchy is definitely not a perfume I would recommend. (Maybe for Granny, seeing how that's about the only person who would like this one).

To improve productivity. visiting commenters to this and so many other sites about stars can merely check one or more of boxes leabled:



1. I'd have her.



2. I wouldn't.



3. Isn't she beautiful?

Jen's Perfume Smells Like Childless Misery; Justin Bieber Grapples With McQueen's Death

• The inevitable Aniston perfume is, oddly, not titled Desperation and Loneliness but, instead, "Lola V" - which sounds like the name of a Hollywood baby. That she'll never have!


• Celine Dion, meanwhile, presents yet another scent: "Pure Brilliance."

• Kimora, in her latest scent, takes a different approach: "This scent is meant to be a call to action - I am challenging everyone to be bold, inspired and intelligent," she declares. We appreciate the courage of launching a celebrity scent in a world sorely lacking in them.


• Bieber's style: "I'm not a splurger, but I like clothes like G-star and I really like shoes - I wear Supers a lot. I wear a lot of hoodies, but I also like Alexander McQueen. I think he is very original and does amazing stuff. [Interviewer: "Unfortunately, he died recently."] Rest in peace. I didn't know that."


• Jerry Hall calls Botox "hideous," saying, "I'm going to go for the eccentric, wrinkled suntanned look instead. I love the sun. I want to look like a North American Indian - big jewelery and wrinkled, suntanned skin. Much better than the skinny, cut-up look."


• Speaking of the family Jagger, daughter Georgia May is not, as bookies suspected, going to be replacing the disgraced Peaches Geldof as the face of Miss Ultimo. Her agent says she's just too in-demand.


• In a sign that the times they are a-changin', Diane Von Furstenberg is back to expanding her retail empire after a brief, recession-fueled hiatus. May we suggest more discount stores, a la Woodbury Commons? Thanks.


• On the other hand, denim line Rock and Republic has filed for bankruptcy as the denim bubble continues to pop.


• Photographer Todd Cole has shot Rodarte's latest short, a "futuristic film, which featured Guinivere Van Seenus wearing Rodarte's spring/summer dresses."


• One day's not enough for Origins: to celebrate Earth Month, the eco-friendly company's throwing an April 19th concert featuring Macy Gray.


• The appointment of one of the NY Governor's cronies to the board of trustees of the Fashion Institute of Technology is raising well-groomed eyebrows. The non-fashionista's appointment, says one official, "seemed a little out of left field."


• JustJared calls this still from Jesus Luz's Ellus Leather Denim campaign a "Shirtless Easter Treat." We'd call it more, a study in blankness - like a John Cage piece, but it's a person.


• A new social networking site, Fashion Stake, is trying to bring crowdsourcing to the least democratic of media. Says Reuters, "Fashion Stake will allow customers to directly fund fashion designers by browsing on-line collections and buying a stake in a collection in return for credits to buy clothes. Patrons can also share ideas with designers and vote on collections." Either brilliant or doomed!


• We love Garance Dore's dreamy fashion footage: check out her "month in fashion" vid. [Garance Dore via Fashionista]


• In honor of its 50th birthday, Doc Martens has commissioned a digital campaign in which artists like the Stone Roses and Noisette cover classic rock tunes. We were thinking more "The Queen is Dead," but sure!


• The (presumably post-Special K) red dress worn by an actress in a British Special K commercial has elicited so many queries that retailer Marks and Spencer's going to start selling it. And the beachy cotton frock is only £19.50!


• Kelly Osbourne has apparently gotten hooked on fake tan while dancing with the stars. Which is convenient, since she's a face of St. Tropez self-tanner!


• It's Lagerfeld's turn to decorate the iconic Coca-Cola bottle. The kaiser's emblazoned a white Diet Coke with his own silhouette - the svelte version.


• The DNC says that their "Big Fucking Deal" (or, BFD) tees are selling like undignified hotcakes, indeed, "faster than iPads this weekend."


• Speaking of politics! Cast your vote for your favorite American designer in CFDA's "Popular Vote." (Or, y'know, stay out of the whole thing.)

The first time I smelled Betsey Johnson Perfume by Betsey Johnson For Women, I was at my daughter's cheer leading competition and one of her coaches was wearing it. The smell was so unique, I had to go up to her and ask what she was wearing. When she told me she was wearing Betsey Johnson Perfume, it really didn't mean anything to me because I had never heard of Betsey Johnson, but I knew that this perfume would soon be one of my favorites. I was going to make a mental note of remembering the Betsey Johnson name because I would soon be buying it.

A few days later, I asked my daughter if she had ever heard of Betsey Johnson and she told me that she if a designer and that she had heard of her. Apparently, Betsey Johnson Perfume is very popular among the younger crowd and my daughter told me that she too loved the perfume. This was all the more reason for me to purchase it! I always like to wear a fragrance that my daughter likes too, because it makes driving in the car with her much more pleasant when she's not sticking her head out the window because she thinks my perfume is too strong.

I purchased the Betsey Johnson Perfume for $52.00 and I loved the pink beaded cap that was on the bottle. The box that the perfume came in was visually stunning too. The color scheme and the roses were very eye catching. The perfume is very fruity with lots of floral undertones. What stood out to me were the hints of tangerine, grapefruit, lily of the valley and sandalwood. I like how the scent of sandalwood combined with the fruity and flowery scents. It gives the Betsey Johnson Perfume a woodsy fragrance and it even reminded me of when I was in high school many years ago.

I high school, I frequently wore sandalwood and patchouli scents, but I never thought that they would make a comeback. It seems like so many perfumes have either patchouli or sandalwood hints in them. I think that these rich scents add body and depth to perfumes like Betsey Johnson Perfume by Betsey Johnson For Women. I also feel that sandalwood helps to give this perfume staying power and it keeps it from fading or losing it's scent after a few hours.

When I wore my Betsey Johnson Perfume to work, I was a little concerned that I put too much on. One of my coworkers asked me, rather excitedly, what I was wearing. I thought, "oh no, she's going to tell me it's too strong." When I told her it was Betsey Johnson Perfume, she told me it was one of the nicest perfumes that she's smelled in a long time. I was happy that she didn't think it was too bold or overpowering, especially since I'd worn it to work.

I would purchase Betsey Johnson Perfume by Betsey Johnson For Women again, because I love the soft floral, fruity and woodsy scent that it has and I can wear it for any occasion, day or evening. I also like the fact that my teenage daughter likes it too. I feel this perfume is attractive to all age groups and that it has a wide appeal.

Hair - cheap WIG

Top - cheap Missoni imitation

Shorts- something you find in a 2$ bin at Rainbow

Pumps- another 10 dollar bum version of Christians or as Jlo call Lowboooteeens

Bottle design - Versace Bright Crystal rip off

Baby Phat is cheap tacky shit anyone with a 2$ budget would wear

all her "designs" are imitation from bigger brands made with cheap fabric and in cheap factories.. There is a reason why her shit is in Marshalls or Tj Maxx only

Kimora is a smart bitch but her shit doesn't worth all the millions in advertisement and looks like a joke in some big publication like Vogue

There is always a shoe for everything

Jen explained, “It’s been a year-and-a-half journey. I’d been asked to do things before, and it never felt organic. But when Leon [Falic, president of the Falic Fashion Group] approached me to be involved with the process from inception to fruition, I thought, ‘This could be a creative expression.’ And it’s turned out to be an extension of myself as opposed to slapping my name on something.”

“The first perfumes I ever wore were Miss Dior and Anais Anais. My mother wore Calèche and my grandmother used a body splash that came in a big yellow jug that she kept by the bathtub. Those were very strong scents. Now I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan.”

She added, “I want people to go, ‘What is that? You smell great!’ But most of all I wanted it to smell natural.”

My mom and I are thrift store junkies. We go in looking for deals that you cannot find anywhere else. Sometimes we get extremely lucky, and other times we come out empty handed.

We hit this one local thrift store up weekly because they seem to have new inventory every Friday. Hitting the thrift store up on a Saturday can sometimes result in winning the mini designer lottery. At times we find two dollar designer clothes, bags, and sometimes; perfume.

I was not able to hit up the local spot this week, but my mom did.

She rushed inside with a paper bag filled with what appeared to be designer perfumes. I could hear them clanging against one another and I could not wait to see what she had gotten hold of. I looked inside of the bag, and she huddled around it, as if she had to protect her findings from me.

She hit the designer perfume gold mine, and she bought all she could find, no wonder she didn't want me looking in. She wanted them ALL for herself.

Inside I noted all types of brands that I knew I would like. From Chanel, to Donna Karan. Some of the bottles were half empty, and others still had their seals on them. Some we already had, and some we had never heard of.

Amarige by Givenchy was one perfume in particular that I had never heard of. I have heard of Givenchy in the past, but I was never familiar with the brand, or this particular scent.

Appearance:

Amarige came in its original red box, with gold lettering. A bit of dust had collected on the box, but inside the perfume was barely touched.

The bottle itself is shaped like a human heart (at least that s what it looks like to me). The bottles top looks like a soft serve ice cream swirl, which is actually sort of pretty, and unique.

My Use:

I sprayed some of the rusty water colored perfume on to my wrists, and immediately got hit with the overpowering scent of grandmothers. It was like a granny festival on my wrist. This crap stunk, and it stunk bad.

It has that first kick of granny, then a high impact punch of rotting dried up roses, and...rust.

Good find mom!

Pricing and Availability:

After sniffing this horrendous granny spray I of course had to look the brand up before writing this review. I wanted to bring to you the price of this gunk, and where to find (eh-hem...avoid) this perfume.

Amarige by Givenchy can be found at any local perfume store, ranging from $10 to a jaw dropping $70.00 (for the granny gift set).

Overall:

Amarige by Givency smells like your grandma. It stinks to the high heavens, and it lasts a really, really long time. If you want to test the scent, make sure you DO NOT spray it on your clothing, as it will stay...till you wash the clothing.

-I guess if you find it at a thrift store; barely used, something must be wrong.

Recommendation:

Negative.

Amarige by Givenchy is definitely not a perfume I would recommend. (Maybe for Granny, seeing how that's about the only person who would like this one).

@Poor Jen: If you think she is mediocre, don’t buy into her. If you think she has an average face, don’t look., If you think her movies are bad, don’t watch them. ITS THAT SIMPLE.

And clingy? How the hell would you know? Have you been with her? You do realise it’s the media that does the whole poor Jen crap right? She seems like a very independent happy person. She is pretty much the male George Clooney but hey he isn’t a loser now is he? No because he’s a man. Double standards in society wowzers. She seems pretty over Brad to me,, maybe you’ve been reading one too many gossip magazines.
