A couple months ago I became aware of Renuzit Tri-Scents and a contest they were holding to give one lucky winner a $20,000 home makeover with Tanya Memme. At the time I checked out the website, saw just two entries and thought I should enter but... it's one of those things I never 'got around to doing' even though I certainly have some great ideas on what to do with $20,000! Tonight I headed back over to the site to check out the semi-finalist gallery and make my vote.I checked out all the entries and I thought I had it down to two when I clicked on the very last video and well, then there were three! In the end I voted for the Kremens (I think that was their name) who are a young married couple who have bought their first house... which used to belong to the young mans Grandparents.

I have noticed something very peculiar today. My room, every once in a while, starts to get a distinct smell of weed. I know what it smells like because I’ve been around people who smoke pot, but I find the smell itself disgusting. So smelling it now gives me the same feeling as, say, nails [...]
Pollution is dulling the scent of flowers and impeding some of the most basic processes of nature, disrupting insect life and imperilling food supplies, a new study suggests. The potentially hugely significant research – funded by the blue-chip US National Science Foundation – has found that gases mainly formed from the emissions of car exhausts prevent flowers from attracting bees and other insects in order to pollinate them. And the scientists who have conducted the study fear that insects' ability to repel enemies and attract mates may also be impeded. The researchers – at the University of Virginia – say that pollution is dramatically cutting the distance travelled by the scent of flowers. Professor Jose Fuentes, who led the study, said: "Scent molecules produced by

The internets never fail to amaze me. While wandering around looking for a blow-up Jesus doll (Which does not exist, can you say untapped market?) I found a few JC items of interest. First of all, have you ever wondered what JC smelled like? I figured wandering the dessert and the Middle East in a time before showers would lead to a fairly disgusting smell shared by all. I found out this was wrong, Jesus smells like myrrh, aloe, and cassia. Apparently this creates a "cinnamon" like smell according to the makers website www.hisessence.com. Now you can tap into this smellstravaganza and make your home, office, or bathroom smell like my man JC.After not being able to find a blow-up JC, I was somewhat satisfied to find that both Jesus Christ action figures, and bobble head dolls (Black

I don't know about everyone else, but in my eyes a fragrance can make or break an outfit. So naturally, it's important to smell your best at all times. Timing your fragrance-wearing in accordance with seasons is of the utmost importance.Wind and rain in winter, sweating and humidity in summer, additional natural scents in the air in spring, and daily weather changes in autumn can all alter the way your perfume smells.Not to mention your mood. But it changes with each individual: some people like fruity smells (etc) in winter because it reminds them of summer, whereas others might prefer a more refined or sophisticated smell for the colder months.My perfect combinations go a little something like this...AutumnA strange choice, I know. But with the fairly cool, crisp mornings and then warmer

A second one stopped by to say hello, and while her perfume was not quite as interesting as the one I smelled on that first girl, it was again something that left you

I love a man that wears a chain on their wallet. There's just something about it that makes them cool. So how about this DiESEL Fuel For Life Pocket Chain ($75 @ diesel-fragrances.com)? What if I saw a man carrying this 18" chain on their beltloops? I think if you have a fashion forward boy in your life then he will appreciate this one. And it's not just for men as they make one for women too. Both are "inspired by the passion, emotion and sensuality that flows through each of our veins" and we really liked it when it came out. Give something totally unique this season.
URINAL CAKE CANDLEYes, it's called Urinal Cake Candle. Candle that smells like pee? Well, actually it doesn't. It has a cinnamony floral smell that's modeled after the industrial chemical freshness of a urinal cake, you find in public restrooms. According to the ad, this is the perfect gift for anyone that likes tacos, asparagus, and really hot chicken wings. It comes in a 8 oz.tin. Put this on your dinning table this Christmas dinner and the quirky name of this candle is definitely to spark up some lively conversations. And probably your guests might end up laughing so hard till they wet their pants. STRIPPER CANDLESo how does a stripper smell like? If you don't know what a stripper smells like just imagine the perfume counter at your local department store times a thousand... then add some glitter. This gift is said to be suitable for your favorite bachelor, groomsmen, or retired stripper who misses her cold hard pole. Actually it smells just like any other candle. Like any stri
I have suffered from insomnia for my entire life. From the time I learned to walk, until age 6, I was a sleepwalker. The sleepwalking gave way to chronic insomnia. It’s one of those things I have just gotten used to. On average I get about 5-6 hours of sleep a night, but that is often restless sleep punctuated by occasional night terrors. When I am in production, I will sometimes get only 3-4 hours sleep. I flat-out refuse to take sleeping pills, but I am always welcome to new, external techniques to help me sleep.
Scent to Sleep promises an end to insomnia with their linen sprays. I tried out the Luscious Lavender scent (it is also available in Decadent Green Apple Vanilla). I have long been aware of the relaxing properties of lavender, but often find the scent to be overwhelming. The Luscious Lavender spray does not suffer from this. It is mild, blended with peppermint oil, and not overpowering.
It smelled nice, but I don’t think it is going to cure my insomnia
You have total control over how your candles look and smell. You have a myriad of choices for adding your own colors and scents to produce a candle which is individually yours. Craft shops and candle making suppliers stock scents and dyes made specifically for home-made candles from many different materials, but be sure you know what is flammable when adding things to soy wax.Adding scentsOnly add scent to the hot wax after it has been taken away from the heat source. Check for flammability of the scent at a low temperature before adding any essential oils to prevent a dangerous situation. Many of the cheaply made candles you find in discount stores will not use scent added to all the wax, instead topping off the candle at the end with scent added after the bulk of the candle has cooled. If you want a really good quality of scent, add the oils to all the wax you are using when the wax has completely melted.The choice for scent is yours, but some natural scents are stronger than others.
With the chemicals that are in the room sprays on the market currently, making your own with the ingredients you know are healthier and contain no lung harming products. You can experiment with your own blend of oils and see what works best for you or your family’s smell. Essential oils are important in everyone’s sense of smell. Finding what scent is best for you, is a task that will take you on a great journey that will take your senses to places they have never been. Once you find that perfect scent, make a room scent or spray and use it whenever you need to refresh your house or car. Here’s how:

50 days more to go before Christmas, and I am excited to distribute my gifts to friends and loved ones. I already bought them since October and November are the biggest-sale-of-the-year months.

And for the gentlemen, I collected some nice aftershaves.
All of these I purchased via SendMeScent online. It was actually hassle-free buying these stuffs there. I have big savings, plus it’s not even tiring to shop. I bookmarked the site since I love perfumes – collecting them is one of my hobbies. I can’t wait for another grand site-wide sale again!

Out of all the millions of people who love candles, a huge percent lean towards vanilla as their favorite candle scent. Before you buy, here's information you should know.There's many reason why this could be. Maybe it's because vanilla was one of the first scents ever created for candles. Maybe it's a familiar baking scent. Or maybe it's just so basic it appeals to just about everyone.Regardless of WHY people like vanilla, it's clear there is no shortage in finding vanilla and vanilla related scents in candles.When you visit any candle site, one of the first things you see is probably vanilla. There are literally thousands of different types, ranging from "strong vanilla" type scents to just hints of vanilla in the description. It's used as a base for many unique scents like some less popular "Cinderella" or "Caribbean Morning". (If you've never heard of these scents, you aren't alone!)With all the choices of vanilla scents out there, how can you decide which is going to be t

Scent Of A Woman is a very beautiful and touching film with a great performance by Al Pacino as the blind Colonel Frank Slade. Directed by the same man who would later on both direct and write the major flop Gigli and who also directed Meet Joe Black, a mediocre film that was a bit too long, Scent Of A Woman doesn't show any of those bad qualities director Martin Brest came to show in his later work. A remake of the Italian Profumo Di Donna and adapted from the novel by Giovanni Arpino, Scent Of A Woman feels to be standing very much on its own and doesn't feel as a remake at all. Without having seen the original I can not judge which one is better, but Scent Of A Woman is definitely a very great film and a great accomplishment. The film feels very warm. It's a drama with comedic elements. Frank its main protagonist is a wonderfully written character, who will make you laugh and some might even cry.

Feel sad, tired, or a little bit stressed? Something as simple as an aromatherapy candle could help you relax and feel happier. But not all scented candles have this effect. Let’s find out how to select an aromatherapy candle that can lift your mood.When you burn an aromatherapy candle, it releases small quantities of essential oils. The chemicals penetrate your body and effect your brain in a certain way. Of course an aromatherapy candle can’t cure severe depression or anxiety, but it definitely can help you to relax after a busy day at work.Not all scented candles have a therapeutic effect. For the proper effect, only quality essential oils should be used. Essential oils are derived from plants and herbs. An aromatherapy candle should have display a label that reads “pure essential oils”Top quality scented aromatherapy candles are made from soy wax or bees wax, not paraffin, which is the material most commonly used in cheap scented candles. It has several disadvantages - bein

Scented Candles – Take Me AWAY! by: M J Plaster Remember the old Calgon commercial—"Take me away Calgon!" There's only one thing that can take you away faster than a Calgon bath, and that's a scented candle. Whether you want a breath of fresh spring air, or you want to transport yourself to a South Sea paradise minus the hassle of airport security, crowded, delayed flights and lost baggage, grab a scented candle, and travel wherever your imagination leads. Smell is a powerful sense, and you can use it to alter your mood within seconds with the flicker of a candle. In fact, why not keep a supply of scented candles in the bathroom when you don't have time to luxuriate in the bathtub. Envelope yourself in fragrance while you shower, dry and blow-dry. Close your eyes and think of each season: winter, spring, summer and fall each evoke special "scentual" memories. If it's the dead of winter and you've already suffered through 73 days of snow cover, light a piña colada candle or a

I am loving this new boutique-y fragrance by Estilo. Called “Inhale,” it is a blend of lily of the valley and jasmine, with a light amber base. Since the fragrance has only three notes, it keeps things pure and uncomplicated. The florals are fresh and watery, and they are complimented nicely by the rich amber. No chemical notes here, and nothing that will induce a headache. It is a wonderful, fresh fragrance that is great for spring, but might be a little too heavy for summer.
Estilo comes from the Portuguese word for “style.” And they encompass all areas of style - besides fragrance, they also design clothing and accessories with a European influence. At press time, the Estilo site was, sadly, under construction, so I have not had a chance to check out any of their designs.
“Inhale” is only available via the Estilo website, and at select salons in New Jersey, so if you are looking for an exclusive signature scent that no one else will be wea

It was all in the bottle.
The rampant tumble of bougainvillea spilling over whitewashed walls, the jewelled flash of majolica embracing basilica, vertically twisting cobblestoned alleys leading to the surprise of turquoise waters peeping over low stone walls, the waft of lemons growing luxuriantly between naively painted houses, collectively teetering like a multi faceted jewel towards the sea, the seductive glimpse of sirenuse forever luring and enticing.
Positano was balmy, beautiful and bejewelled.
It was an anniversary spent wrapped in each others arms like the pair of lovesick teenagers we once were, enjoying a lingering affair with the Amalfi Coast, our days spent soaked in her juices, lapping at her beauty and legends with an intoxicated fascination. We spent our days stumbling down narrow twisting cobblestoned streets drunk on Nastro Azzurro, limoncello, Lachryma Christi and visions of mermaids.
So when the call, indeed the nectar, of the sirens lured us into Carthusia
Scent of Shadows has several positive reviews on the cover talking about how great a story it is. It had a pretty good premise and a decent plot, but I think some of the details left a bit to be desired. As action books go, it was pretty good. The pacing was good and the lead character was pretty well developed.Joanna Archer is the daughter of a multimillionaire gambling mogul, Xavier. She was raped and left for dead in the desert outside Las Vegas when she was sixteen. By all rights she should be dead. As a matter of fact, the rapist intended her to die, but she did not. Joanna healed and turned the pain and fear into a weapon. She learned the Martial art Krav Maga, the martial art developed by the Israelis. Over the years she has hunted for her rapist, intentionally putting herself in harms way, making herself bait for the evil that lurks in Vegas. It eventually finds her, but in ways normal people would never understand.On the day before her 25th birthday she is assaulted by a homi

Gisele Bundchen pics for the Victoria Secret scent Dream Angels Heavenly. She earns USD 7000 an hour looking good.
The 5ft 11in stunner, who split up with long-time beau Leonardo DiCaprio late last year, also had some words of advice for any potential suitors. The best way to make a lasting impression, she said, is to choose a good cologne. “A smell is very memorable,” she explained. “You remember a person that always wears a fragrance, even though you don’t know about them anymore. I knew a guy many years ago, and I haven’t seen him in ten years, but I was walking in the street the other day and I didn’t see him, but I smelled the smell.”

From the New York Times Book Review "Odor Decoder": Popular science books have a set form, which in its way is as strict as the sonnet. They begin with some personal history of how the author became interested in a subject, move on to an explanation of the generally agreed science of the subject, and then describe the specific angle taken by the author on the subject's remaining mysteries. Add a judicious sprinkling of personal history throughout, and voila, the formula covers everything from quantum physics to geology to evolution.Luca Turin's engaging new book follows this form, but doesn't feel at all like something we've read before - which is a tribute both to its subject and to its author. "The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell" (Amazon Astore UK | US) is about one of the great mysteries in science, one that is not just under our noses (like all the best mysteries), but actually inside the nose. That mystery is smell, and specifically the way the
"What was that?" I asked. Something had rattled inside the cupboard under the sink.Stephen came in from the dining room with a stack of dirty dishes. "What was what?""That noise." I opened the cupboard and peered into the gloom.Stephen shook his head. "I know what you're thinking, and it's not that."Not a rat, he meant.Five years earlier we thought we had mice in the house. Scritching and scratching in the walls woke us at night, and we set traps and caught one or two. They seemed large, for mice. But it had been years since I'd seen a mouse. Not since childhood.One night I awoke to squealing coming from downstairs. I was alone, Stephen out of town, and I was eight months pregnant. I waddled down the stairs to find my cat in the living room, something cornered under the window. I shooed her away. As a mouser, she was pretty useless.Sure enough, it was a mouse. Large. A nuclear mouse? Snacking on radon bars? I took a broom and nudged it toward the front door. But there are two doors,
"Scent of A Woman" Hmmm....To me these are only two things...First, the lovely movie I absolutely adore and have in my classic DVV collection....specially love that party wherein Al Pacino dances THE tango in robust chutzpa with that lucky lucky lucky girl:)Second, it is THE scent that expresses a woman's feminity..most importantly character or mood. I am not a perfume girl really, but when I do splurge on a perfume spree, I can take awhile in shopping for the scent I'd purchase. Purquoi? As I've received the wrong scents...absolutely NOT me....soooooo....I'd rather have friends shop with me around if they plan to give me a scent pressie or rather not receive any perfume-gifts at all:) waste of money really.ERGO....i went to a perfume spree just before Christmas (well ALOTTA things happened before Christmas hunny) and I was torn between a D&G and an ANNA SUI....VS...Who won the match of my decision-making ordeal? BOTH...eventually that is. I first discovered the D&G then the A

January 1995.When I am home for more than four months, it starts to itch again: "Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go." So beginning of January, I scouted for a new mission as a telecom consultant. Two weeks later, I had a contract with UNHCR, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, to take over the duties of my friend Paul in Goma, North-Eastern Zaire, now DRC, the Democratic Republic of Congo. Lana, our first daughter was just a few weeks old. I wanted to spend some more time at home, but as it always goes when you work as a consultant: you wait for months for a job. Once it comes up, and all the paperwork is done, they require you to leave as soon as possible.Then all of a sudden you find yourself in the car, driving to the airport, and it hits you (well it surely always hits me!): the feeling of "Gee, what did I let myself into again this time? Why am I doing this? Leaving a warm and comfortable home, my wife and a new born baby girl for the unknown, for several months. Onwards to an uncert
