LADIES, HAVING FUN WHILE SIPPING ON WINE AND PAINTING. SO, WHERE’S YOUR GLASS AND PAINT BRUSH?

Ladies, are you tired of doing the same thing on your date night? Are you tired of your man choosing a movie and a dinner? Are you tired of staying at home with your man to just watch television? What about the ladies, who currently don’t have a man, but spend beautiful time with your girlfriends and just tired of going out to dinner to talk about getting a man. Well, I have a cute suggestion. Have you thought about sipping wine while painting a beautiful piece of art? Yes, you can love on your man and sip wine while painting a memorable piece of art. If you’re spending time with your girlfriends, you can talk about the latest Mikimoto set of pearls, the best cookbook, the hottest pair of stilettos and/or even designer handbags or even talk about volunteering while sipping on wine and painting at the same time.  Wine and painting is the cutest idea. That said, once I start dating, my knight in shining armour must have some creativity. Meaning, it’s okay for us to agree on a movie and a dinner or even me cooking a lovely meal, but we have to try sipping on some wine while painting a beautiful picture. XOXOXO

WHAT’S YOUR SCENT?

PERFUME AT IT’S FINEST

Historically, perfume began in antiquity.  The word “perfume” derives from the Latin per fume "through smoke". Originally, one of the oldest uses of perfumes comes from the burning of incense and aromatic herbs used in religious services, often the aromatic gums, frankincense and myrrh, gathered from trees. Yes, let’s give the “Garden of Eden some credit.” Moreover, the Egyptians were the first to incorporate perfume into their culture followed by other ancients: Chinese, Hindus, Israelites, Carthaginians, Arabs, Greeks, and Romans.  Furthermore, the Egyptians were the first to use the perfume bottles, which dates back to 1000 Bicentennial (BC). As a result, the Egyptians invented glass and perfume bottles were one of the first common uses for glass.

Your scent may or may not define who you are but it does identify who you are. Wearing perfume is like painting art. It’s about season, craftsmanship, talent, apparel, presentation, and basically where you’re going. Most important, it’s about your chemistry. Perfume connoisseurs tend to study and understand the importance of perfume. It is essential that you know what perfume colors (scents) work best with you and your body chemistry.

Did you know spraying perfume on your clothes can damage the material? Recently, I discovered that some ladies don’t properly spray their perfume on. You don’t want you’re dry cleaning bill to equate to nothing.  Here are some cute tips on how to apply your beautiful smell.

Ladies, before I share this historical perspective on how to properly spray perfume let me share a little secret. It’s acceptable to layer perfumes. But, try to use all the same perfume in various products. First, take a hot shower or a warm bath. Afterwards, begin with a shower or bath gel. Next, rub in body lotion or spray with a matching after bath spray. Finally, spray your scent preferably known as perfume or Eau de Parfum (EDP).

Now, let’s move on to the next lovely step on to how to properly spray. It’s really not a secret. It’s just about knowing how to spray. As you apply, spray to pulse points such as the folds in the crook of your elbow and back of knees, wrist, neck and cleavage. After applying, do not rub your wrist together. Spray a little into the air and then walk directly into the perfume is good. This technique helps to diffuse it over your body. Please, refrain from applying to the neck. Basically, perfume always works up the body as the scent rises.

I’m sure by now your pondering how to properly take care of your perfume bottles? It’s simple. Always, keep your perfume bottles tightly closed. It’s important to keep your perfume bottles away from direct heat and/or out of sunlight. Keep those beautiful bottles out of your bathrooms too. Not such a good place to store. That said, the next time you’re about to purchase a scent for purpose make sure you know exactly what you’re getting. A Christian Clive perfume connoisseur does. XOXOXO
