Lotions & Perfumes - It's Okay To Blend Your Fragrances

For most women the thought of combining perfume with a lotion scented differently seems unlikely and may even cause a disaster. When, in fact combining fragrances can result in an absolutely beautiful aroma - unique and personal to your own body chemistry!
The manufacturing of perfume is quite intriguing. Believe it or not each new perfume starts with blending anywhere from 3 to 23 different fragrances (well maybe not 23 but quite a few). Also, this is done drop by drop - of course only for the initial scent - then it is manufactured in mass quantities. So there is a chance that the same fragrances will be in both your lotion and perfume.
The best way to discover if your lotion and perfume will blend is to hold them under your nose and smell moving the bottles from side to side. Also, remember when applying your body heat will change the aroma slightly. Heat activates the fragrance giving it a little warmer tone and when combined I am sure it will be very pleasing to the senses!
So let's give it a try - I dare you!

The Power of Positive Thinking

We all have heard the saying, "The Power of Positive Thinking" - and believe when I say this is true.
July, as in retail, is known to be a slow month. Although, we did well considering July was celebrating our second month in business - the month itself is usually slow. On the last day of the month I said to myself and others that August would prove to be great and sure enough it was.
On Friday, August 1st sales were great and then on Saturday, August 2nd sales were double of the first. I was so excited and knew that things would be great and could only get better. Today, August 5th, back at work is proving to be the same.
Here's to The Power of Positive Thinking. Apply it in every aspect of your life and see what happens!
