Recently we got a few lemon and orange flavored toothpaste tubes. Body Shoppe, the joint famous for their aromatic oils, have started offering Satsuma oil, lotion and shower gel and that too with oozing fresh orange fragrance.

is equally appealing as lemon to me. Lemon in reality is sour to taste and artificial lemon tang is not at all comparable to the natural tang. As far as orange fragrance is concerned its second only to those fleshy, ripe and revitalizing fruits brought directly from Florida groves.

Given a choice, I would choose to have my laundry and home emit the fragrance of orange and have no second thoughts about it.

Only if the aroma and essence of lemon improves, it would be more appealing again. But as of now the orange tang and aroma is the finest and to me it gets the better of lemon's flavor and scent. Here is a great gardening related site http://www.verygreenthumb.com.

As a child, my most wanted candy was the one called Fruitella. You could have or a peach candy or the juicy orange flavored candy. It felt seriously divine to have these candies.

Now as a grown up, I always am on the search for that fresh orange aroma. But I always end up buying one more lemon aroma dish soap, laundry detergent, window cleaner and even toothpaste. (Orange is hard to procure, appears to be selling like hot cakes!).

For once, we were lucky to have found an orange scented bathroom spray and I ensure that I have a good stash of oil. But my has the lemon scent, I add lemon essence to chicken and you always find a lemon kind under the sink in kitchen.

Will grapefruit or even lime ever be popular as stimulating fragrances and essence? Orange has gradually become the choice of many manufacturers and marketers, thus capturing a miniscule part of lemon market. I hope the future will definitely provide us with aroma of fruits like watermelon, grape and may be even pomegranate!!! Meanwhile I buy orange whenever available and have nothing to choose from but lemon. Its time now to oust lemon dominance as the only fresh fragrance in the market, isn't it?

Another trick is by using a cotton ball; you can put a few drops of fragrance or essential oil and place it at the back of your radiator. When the radiator (or also your heater) operates, it will emit the vapor with the scent. However, if you will be using this, you must be prepared to replenish the scent every so often.

A popular alternative, and a very cost efficient way to replace your chemical based air freshener in your home is by using a few slices of select like orange or grapefruit, or lemon and putting them on a pot of water over a stove. Upon simmering, this will gently release a citrusy scent around your home.

You can also have a home-made air freshener, just exactly like the one you purchase expensively and regularly. You can mix together baking soda and lemon juice 9at one tablespoon each) and two cups of hot water, shaken well together in a spray bottle. You can spray it liberally around your home as an alternative.

For sweet smelling laundry, you can put three drops of essential or fragrance oil to a clean damp washcloth and when you are drying your laundry in your automatic dryer, you can include the washcloth there and your clothes will absorb the scent. A common and preferred scent is lavender. This scent also has a disinfecting effect on clothes. There are a lot of alternatives that you can use to make your home smell clean.

It seems like everyone who's anyone has their own fragrance these days, and usually more than one. Some bonds between the names and fragrances of celebrity perfumes are pretty clear, while others are a bit more tenuous. Here's a breakdown of some scents to help you smell like your favorite celeb.

Curious In Control is a darker and more complex fragrance, with essences of orchid, crème brulee, and black vanilla bean.

For one of the greatest , you can dress like one of the seasons. Summer is a hot and beautiful one.

It's bright, sparkly and you will be the of the party! Here's how you do create this little dress idea.

Start with a beautiful yellow or orange dress. The brighter the better. It can be knee length to ankle length or whatever you prefer. However, if it is hot outside, you will probably want it to be a bit shorter.

If the is permitting, a great sleeveless dress would be a good idea. You can then add some accessories to your dress in order to make it look ! You can be as sexy as you want with this one.

Red, yellow or orange sequin designs are great for your Summer fancy dress ideas. You can stitch them on yourself for a nice touch. Try doing them around the bottom hem of the dress in a sunburst design for the added effects.

Next, get an and twist some orange around it and have them stick up like the sun's rays. Yes, you will literally be the sunshine of that party.

You can do your hair any way you want and then add the head band. This is really cute if you get the shiny and metallic orange pipe cleaners.

Then you can add some in the brightest summer colors you can find. Try red or yellow to offset the color of your dress. Any warm color should do fine.

Add chunky bangle bracelets and string beaded necklaces. This truly is one of the most beautiful fancy dress ideas when you add some orange or brown eye shadow, and some shimmering body and face lotion.

Another great tip is to wear a citrus smelling perfume or some other summer scent. It won't add anything to the look, but the effect is great when you're speaking to someone. You might as well smell the part as well right?

This one is guaranteed to be hot and steamy! Have some fun with it. People are sure to remember this for a very long time.

In part one of this series we discussed the importance of getting to know the individual essential oils, both in practical terms... properties and safety for example and by ... the fragrance and individual "stamp" that an oil will leave in our subconscious emotional memory.

This is of tremendous help when brainstorming for a new essential .

In my experience, working within the synergy of an essential oil blend is a feel more than anything... a feel for the essential oils that you are using as well as for the finished effect that you are looking for.

It always amazes me how even the slightest adjustment can make a huge difference in the outcome.

The very first thing I always do is visualize how I want it to come out... I imagine the finished blend in a bath oil or lotion, and decide on what effect I'm looking for.

Uplifting? Deep and sensual? Fruity and fun?

The possibilities are endless, if there are any drawbacks to blending essential oils, it's not that we are limited, it's that there are so many choices!

Surprisingly enough, I find the bathtub the best place to do this (I love this job!) Or my other favourite is going for a walk in the peace and quiet and air, contemplating scents, often pulling ideas from the scent and temperament of the air around me.

Ever tried a full moon blend? I haven't but it is next on my list... let me see now, my mind is already turning over ideas. What oils are bright and phosphorescent but full and mellow at the same time? That's the way to get inspired, take your cues from nature and the essence that is already around you.

As I type, it's on the tip of my brain. A light floral and maybe a mint, something fresh and tingly. With a wee hint of seduction, maybe an amber or touch of oak moss.

You may flounder for awhile with it, but suddenly it will come to you, just the scent that you are looking for. If you get stuck, now is the time to go and sample your assortment of oils to see if anything jumps out at you. Sometimes you will be amazed at how the blend will almost pull itself together.

Next step... a piece of paper and a pen! Write down all of your thoughts and ideas, you may use them all or just some.

Make a list of the essential oils you'd like to try, anything that pops into your mind. Many times I seem to do this by colour, often grouping dark essential oils together, or clear essential oils etc. But it doesn't always have to be that way either.

Then add a rough outline as to how many parts of each oil you think would go nicely. Don't write it in ink, because it will likely change!

Many times I seem inclined to choose my oils as much by colour as by scent, often grouping dark essential oils together, or clear essential oils etc. But it doesn't always have to be that way and often I will compliment the blend with a touch of a completely different essential oil.

A popular but simple example is the addition of vanilla to orange. It mellows the sharper citrus creating a scent that is much like creamsicle. On the other hand, the addition of a mint to an orange essential oil (there are many varieties available) will give a surprisingly beautiful fruity and fresh aroma, perfect for many things, especially potpourri in the kitchen and soap.

One day, I found in the shower. I asked my house about it - I didn't really enjoy picking up orange peels after other people (especially in the shower).

Why ... WHY? was there orange peel in our common shower?

They went all weird. The guy looked down. The girl looked away.

I got very curious.

And then the girl said, in a husky sort of voice: Have you ever tried eating an orange in the shower?

It was my turn to look down. No, I said, I hadn't. Well, you should try it, she said.

Why?

She didn't want to tell me why. I pushed on. Why? I insisted.

You just have to try it, she told me. See what it's like.

What it's like?

Yeah, well, see what happens.

What happens? I was feeling somewhat stupid, but also mysteriously aroused by now.

She looked at me, like meaningfully, and said, Sten, in the shower you can make us much mess as you want with an orange.

That's ago now. But I still haven't taken an orange to the shower. Why?

You could say: well, why would you want to... and that's a valid point, of course.

But a small part of me want to. It sounds a bit naughty, doesn't it? Eating the orange in the shower, really making a mess. Showing it into your face, squashing it, letting the down your body.

On the other hand, it is an action ever so slightly on the other side of ... I don't know exactly... ? ... the socially condoned?

It is just one step to the left of my of reality - what life is like, what "people" do.

I guess, in a sense, I don't dare. Even when alone.

To get it done, there is planning involved. Premeditation. We never have at our house, so first, I would have to go get one.

Then, I would have to find a time to do it. Maybe not in the mornings, even though that's when I usually shower, because I don't have a lot of time before I need to go to work. And I don't think I'll get up extra early to shower with an orange.

And not while my wife is in the house. I'd have to sneak an orange into the shower. That feels weird. If not, I'd have to tell her about my - experiment - and that feels even weirder.

There is something about this that makes me very uncomfortable. What is that? Why is that? It is not dangerous. It is not frowned upon by society (maybe because society never thought about it).

Still, it's the fear, isn't it? "What would other people think?"

Wow, I have to face that fear. I have to buy that orange.

For something a little more understated, but just as powerful, consider selecting a scent that will immediately identify you to the people you come in contact with everyday. At first, they won't quite know why they're having these powerful, memorable feelings. After all, scent is supposedly the sense most strongly linked to memory. With time, however, they'll come to associate that certain wonderful fragrance with you. Once that connection is made, it won't easily be forgotten.

How can you figure out which scent best matches your style and personality? A large part of the equation is a simple "". Go into any local department store, and try on a number of different perfumes. Pick the one that you like the most, and give it a trial period. Wear it to work, out to the bar, and in other social situations where you'll be in close contact with others. It's wise not to mention that you're trying a . Let their opinions come to you. That way, you'll know that you're getting instead of superfluous compliments.

This doesn't have to be the that you're wedded to for eternity. Now it's time to think about the other aspects of the scent. What does it represent? You would be surprised by the and ideas that perfumes can trigger in others. A strong perfume will immediately take another person aback, demanding their attention. This could have a mixed result; do you really want to create such a strong impression before you've even had the chance to introduce yourself? Perhaps you'd be better served by something a little less powerful, a scent that flies under the radar until the prey is within reach. Likewise, are you after a more fruity scent, or something that is a bit more masculine?

The scent alone shouldn't be the only consideration for deciding on your signature scent. Perhaps equally important, what is the price tag attached to the bottle? You don't want to get addicted to a perfume that you'll only be able to use sparingly. Consider that your signature perfume is just that: a statement that will make people think of you, and you exclusively. That's why picking something out of your price range is shortsighted. Instead, consider a slightly less expensive option that won't break the bank each month.

Choosing your signature perfume should be a fun process, and an expression of exactly what makes you an individual. Remember that you don't have to settle on the first scent that you come across. Take your time, and experiment with different options that best express your personality. As months turn into years, this scent will become a lasting part of your image to the world, and one that people will look to for evidence that you've graced the room with your presence.How you smell is just as important as how you look.

Knowing that a natural or organic skincare product uses a certain essential oil is all well and good, but how can you be certain as to what properties that oil is giving the product in question? Is the fact that a cream contains bergamot oil good if you're suffering from a touch of stress, or will it simply serve to make you smell a little bit like a cup of Earl Grey tea?

Well, in fact, bergamot oil might do both. Its familiar smell helps to relax and ease tension, but the oil is actually extracted from the rind of the , which is what Earl Grey is flavoured with. Another oil that helps to lift the emotions is Geranium, which is sometimes used in natural and organic skincare products as a substitute for the more costly ingredient rose. As well as being useful in relaxing us when we are stressed out, Geranium essential oil is a brilliant cosmetic product; it is an excellent antiseptic that is extremely good for such as eczema and acne. It also helps with oil and sebum regulation, so if you're stressed about any of these conditions Geranium Essential Oil's duel properties might just work some wonders.

is a familiar scent that is often found in those microwavable relaxation bags and other such products. Just because it is familiar does not mean that it should be disregarded as a useful ingredient in natural and organic skincare products. As a matter of fact, is one of the strongest natural antiseptics that has long since been used on burns and wounds. It is also anti-bacterial and effectively regulates sebum production.

Whilst Lavender Essential Oil is a familiar scent in perfumes and products, one oil that is not is Neroli Essential Oil. Neroili has a very distinctive, citrus smell and, because it is expensive, is not found in many everyday products (in fact, finding its presence on an ingredients list is one way of knowing if a product can justify its high price tag, or better yet, whether it is a bargain). The oil is extracted from the flowers of the bitter orange tree and is excellent for mature skin due its regenerating properties. It is also extremely adept at treating stretch marks and helping to soothe skin inflammations.

Rosemary Essential Oil is often found in shampoos that help to maintain thin hair and help to prevent hair loss. Like Lavender oil, it is a scent that most of us are familiar with, but which has some perhaps unknown benefits when used in natural and organic skincare products. It is antiseptic and astringent, and therefore excellent in skincare products designed for helping to treat acne and eczema. When inhaled, the oil by itself helps to lift the mood, so all round its not a bad thing to have in a product.Matt Gammie is a writer for Scin Boutique]]> Victoria's Secret Garden Silkening Body Lotions http://www.artwoo.com/article/victorias-secret-garden-silkening-body-lotions http://www.artwoo.com/article/victorias-secret-garden-silkening-body-lotions#comments Thu, 27 Apr 2006 10:50:02 +0000 victorias secretscent youendless lovescentsbody lotionsbody lotionounce bottle http://www.artwoo.com/article/victorias-secret-garden-silkening-body-lotions Endless Love. Since that first time, I have fallen in love with this line of s. I have always had problems when it came to choosing a scent that would suit me and that would last for at least an hour. When I first tried Victoria's Secret, I knew that I had found a keeper.

You can use the body lotion any time you wish but I think the most effective way is to use it right after you take a bath or a shower. That way, your skin is clean and no dirt or grit will ruin the feel of your skin. The body lotion really smoothens your skin. With continuous use you will see the effect even more.

The add another dimension to the body lotions. If you really like the particular scent, you will appreciate the fact that they stay on for a long long time. My original criterion was that the scent last for at least an hour. I got at least 5 times as much as that. Even if you engage in physical activities and sweat a bit, the scent is not totally lost.

The Silkening Body Lotions come in different bottle sizes. You can also find them in tubes. The packaging is quite appealing to eyes. Personally, I prefer the tubes. If you use it often -- as you most probably would -- an 8.0 will probably last for a month or so.

My problem is that out of the whole line, there are only a couple of scents that I like. These are Endless Love and Vanilla Lace. All the other scents are either too fruity or too sweet for my taste.

Another thing is that for everyday use, these products do not come cheaply. However, Victoria's Secret stores usually have promos wherein you can get a several bottles for a low price. Online stores also offer a wide array of scents with reasonable prices. The smart thing to do is to grab several bottles of your favorite scent and stock up on them when you chance upon a sale.

If you are looking for a body lotion that markedly improves your skin's texture, then try one of the many Victoria's Secret Garden Silkening Body Lotions. In addition to supple skin, you will end up smelling lovely throughout most of the day.

We may use it to smell nice, attract people of the opposite sex or just make ourselves feel good and more confident. But before you go on spraying that favorite scent of yours, have you ever wondered how the perfume originated and what goes on into making a ?

The art of making originated from the Egyptians when they burned plants and woods for their pleasant odors. But it was the French who turned it into a science and into a multi-million industry. Making scents and fragrances is very big business. Long gone were the days when perfume used to be for the affluent or rich. Now, more and more people can afford to purchase and colognes as scent manufacturers are producing fragrances suited for every age, gender and purchasing power.

One of the problems in producing perfumes would be how to make it last long. It was the French who discovered the solution to overcoming this problem by layering the scents into three layers which is known in the industry as notes.

The top note is the initial smell that we whiff when a perfume is applied or sprayed on. It has an intense smell but usually lasts for only a short while. Spice or Citrus based scents are commonly used as a top note.

The middle note otherwise known as the heart note is the main component of the scent. The smell of the middle note surfaces when the top note starts to weaken. Usually in nature are used as middle notes since it is softer in smell. The middle note would last most of the day.

The base note is the scent that would last until the night. It serves as the foundation of every scent and it will blend with the middle note. Musky scents are commonly used as a base note.

The perfume has three components: the scent, the fixative and the solvent. The scent can be made from flowers, plants, herbs, spices and wood. The fixative is the component that helps make the scent last for a longer duration. The solvent is usually alcohol and helps prevent bacteria from forming and maintains the perfume's consistency.

When you will be using any cologne or perfume, ensure that you don't put on too much of it. As much as possible to make it pleasing to other people apply only a very slight amount to let it blend with your body's natural odor.

Next, you should decide what you want out of your set. A fragrance and perfume set can come with anything from multiple perfumes to , , , and deodorants, so decide which uses suit your lifestyle the most. If you don't like the idea of a strong smell, or have a high sensitivity to scents, you might want to go for a set, with a body wash or soap and a body mist. These will give you a light, fresh scent without feeling obvious or oppressive.

Of course, a scent never should be oppressive, to you, or your neighbors. If you decide on a set that contains a strong perfume, make sure to always use it in moderation. Ingredients in many perfumes can cause irritation to the skin and lungs, especially in , when worn to heavily. You don't want to come to work thinking you smell lovely, only to end up giving your office-mate an asthma attack. If you have a sensitivity or allergy to the strong chemicals frequently used in perfumes and fragrances, you should look for a set that uses only all-natural ingredients. These can be easier on your skin, as well as your nose. Apply with care, and enjoy, all day long.

Scents have a way of customizing themselves, they do this by mixing up with your personal bodies odor to provide you with your own slightly unique scent, which is always positive. No two people that have applied the same scent will eventually end up smelling the same. This is what makes scents so unique, and this is where you will really find out if a particular scent is really for you or not. Scents are a way of scent communication, between people. It makes the impression even before you start, so choosing the right scent is always important.Debrah Dragon is a writer for Beauty Items, a website about everything beauty-related - hair salons, beauty tips, etc. Debrah is also a featured author at www.ArticleKing.com]]> Why People Wear A Particular Cologne Or Perfume http://www.artwoo.com/article/why-people-wear-a-particular-cologne-or-perfume http://www.artwoo.com/article/why-people-wear-a-particular-cologne-or-perfume#comments Sat, 24 Feb 2007 00:27:05 +0000 perfumepheromonescolognebasicallyfactors influencemoneys worthperfumes http://www.artwoo.com/article/why-people-wear-a-particular-cologne-or-perfume cologne or and go out of their way to always smell good? What them to wear a particular scent or brand? Well, they have their reasons and you probably could be one of them too who just can't go out without a good spray of your favorite scent.

, people wear cologne or perfume to make themselves smell good. They could have some foul body odor and they use cologne or perfume to mask the bad smell. Several factors influence the choice that goes into their selection of a particular perfume to use.

The name of a perfume is an important feature to any particular fragrance. A name in itself is enough already to make a particular perfume a huge selling success. It could also help if the perfume was manufactured by a certain company that is well renowned.

A perfume endorsed by a famous celebrity also creates a significant influence on a would be buyer especially if he or she is a huge fan. But you have to think twice if the being marketed by these popular stars are worth the money that you will be paying for. If the perfume is of a distinct scent and you don't find others that are of similar smell then it may be worth every penny. On the other hand, if it just turns out to be too ordinary then you may not be getting your money's worth. You have to consider on whether you are purchasing the perfume for its scent or for the name associated with it. Bear in mind that endorsements are not cheap and most likely the cost they spend on marketing and advertising campaigns goes into every bottle of perfume they sell.

Others wear a particular cologne or perfume because of the self-image that it enables them to project. The way you smell also plays an important role in attracting others of the opposite sex. Perfumes have been used like to attract love and romance and sometimes inspire seduction. A particular perfume can also make us feel good and more confident about ourselves. Soothing scents help clear our minds and thoughts. Scents and fragrances often bring back old memories.

But for most of us, it is still the smell that matters on why we choose to wear a particular scent. In the end it is a matter of how you want yourself to smell.

When we consider the additional benefits of using pure to create our own scented blend for skincare, emotional and physical well being, it becomes a unique and hard to resist opportunity.

In using gentle essential oils, even when your primary goal is to create a beautiful scent, you are bound to reap the healing and stress reducing benefits of the essential as well.

Scent can be an extremely powerful mood enhancer, often used to calm and relax or to uplift and invigorate, there are even some that do both.

As stress is one of the major contributors to disease in our society today, the art of creating scent through essential in our environment... aromatherapy... is a gentle and enjoyable wellness tool.

If you are looking at skin care benefits only, you should decide what exactly you want and research the best oils to use, then choose from them, being careful to follow dilution rates and safety guidelines. As a matter of fact, creating a blend according to it's is a whole other topic! If you are going for scent, both of these still apply, but you are free to follow your nose.

Blending is something that doesn't necessarily take experience to begin, but must be experienced to accomplish, if that makes any :0)

You can learn methods and get ideas from a book, but you must do it to do it.

Do It Your Self is always more rewarding, and it is fun and freeing to use our own creativity when developing unique scents for our personal care needs.

Using pure essential oils to make your own scented blends doesn't just make good scents, it makes good sense too!

GET TO KNOW YOUR ESSENTIAL OILS INDIVIDUALLY AND ON A FIRST NAME BASIS!

Many pure essential oils are beautiful as they are. Take a sniff. Let the essence filter through the air and into your nostrils. It lingers and becomes you. Try it!

TIP: Never sniff a pure essential oil straight from the bottle, hold it away from you or put a drop onto a piece of paper or a q-tip, or put it in a bit of carrier oil).

Essential Oils are potent in their pure form - it's the lingering essence that you are after.

Sniffing essential oils straight from the bottle can damage your sense of smell and/or give you a headache. But it won't give you a true sense of the particular essential oils scent, many are much different and sometimes more pleasant when diluted.

Become familiar with your oils. It will be easier to know just the right one to use when you are looking for something to complete your new essential oil blend and will give you a good variety to choose from when you are in the planning stages of creating your blend.

It is said that scent will help you to retain memory as that particular scent will be andquot;linkedandquot; to the memory, so upon smelling it, you will remember what you where thinking at that time. We've all experienced this in one form or another as a familiar scent takes us back to a certain place and time.

I believe that we also retain the memory of each essential oil's nuance so that when we are playing with ideas, a blend of sorts will come together almost automatically if you have decided what end result you are looking for.

Much like when we remember things like phone numbers and passwords directly through our fingers, on autopilot... but if we are asked to remember what they are, we can't (been there, done that with my van security passcode, bad scene jellybean!)

So it is important to get to know your scents by enjoying them individually first. Then you will have a much better idea how to create your own essential oil blend from the oils that have become familiar.

If you are on a budget, or would like to start by focusing on one area of scent, research oils in that category and purchase a small sampling of these oils to play with.

You will need to decide what you'd like to start with.

If for example you would like to make a light floral using oils such as rose, lavender or chamomile, or a heady intoxicating blend with oils such as jasmine, sandalwood or oak moss, or an invigorating citrus blend using oils such as grapefruit, orange, lemon or lime.

Did you read that correctly? 52% and 51% passing means progress to the Orange County Schools. If you're a parent with children in the this should concern your greatly! The scary thing is that are at 43% and 41%. California Schools are currently failing our children.

So what's a parent to do? Funding is an issue. Teaching the state's huge is an issue. The needs of special needs students are an issue. And no one has a really great answer. But as a parent, there is something that you can do. It's a that could impact the entire population of the Orange County Schools. But it's not an easy fix. In fact, a lot of the Orange County Schools' families will have serious pains from making this move. But it's that important. Parents of Orange County Schools- I challenge you to turn off your television during the school week.

in the Orange County Schools

For the small percentage of you who are still reading, don't throw the remote at your screen quite yet. I know what I'm suggesting is a scary lifestyle change that a lot of Orange County Schools won't ever consider. But for the academic and future success of your children, hear me out.

Television drains energy. It doesn't matter if your Orange County Schools students are seniors or kindergarteners. When they're watching television they're not: interacting with friends and family, getting exercise, fully attending to homework, or using their brains. When children watch television they: get inappropriate messages from shows and commercials, get into a habit of inactivity, eat more junk food, and tend to become grumpier and fussier. All of these factors are seen in and behavior in the Orange County Schools.

How Less Television Can Help the Orange County Schools

Now I know that Governor Schwarzenegger isn't about to pass any initiatives to help me rally Orange County Schools families to watch less television. In fact, you as the parent are the only person who can really make this significant change for your family. But why would you want to do this?

Are you busy? Really, really tired? Most Orange County Schools parents feel overwhelmed and exhausted at the end of the day. Television can be a relaxing escape. But think for a moment about how busy your family is already with homework, dinner, and activities at the end of the day. What if TV was no longer a factor? How would your family spend that time? Would Orange County Schools' children get to bed earlier and get more sleep if they weren't up so late watching television? Would you have to time to read to them more? Take a walk together? Play a card game?

If you really want to see an improvement in the Orange County Schools, I dare you to try this with your family for one month. No television on school days. Aren't your children worth it?
