While many women love perfume and may even have their own signature scent, the cost of purchasing a bottle can be prohibitively expensive. Why spend $50 or more on a tiny eau de toilette when you can make a completely unique scent of your own for a fraction of the cost? Save money and make a truly original creation with just a few simple steps.

The Basics

According to the Natural Holistic Health Blog, a basic perfume formula contains 15 to 30 percent essential oils, 70 to 80 percent pure grain alcohol (vodka being recommended, as it doesn't have any additional odors or colors), and 5 percent distilled water. Adding a bit of glycerine at the end of the process is also recommended, as it will help to "fix" your perfume and keep the scent from disappearing into the air or escaping the bottle. Both glycerine and essential oils are easy to find at health food stores or even craft supply shops. Pick the kind of scents you like, when choosing essential oils, and remember that you can choose to mix and match them in order to create the perfect scent.

Necessary Supplies

Along with your basic perfume ingredients, you will also want to gather together the following items before you get started: a glass mixing jar, dedicated measuring cups and spoons, an eyedropper, a funnel and aperfume bottles or other small containers in which you can store your final product.

Method

Instructables.com offers step-by-step instructions on how to make your perfume at home. The basic procedure is as follows:

1. Measure 1/4 cup of vodka into your mixing jar.

2. Add about 25 drops of your essential oils, making sure to keep track of how many drops you've added if you are mixing scents. It may help to keep a tally on a sheet of paper, as you should add drops, swirl the mixture, and then smell as you go to make sure you don't make an overpowering scent.

3. When you've got your desired scent, seal up the mixing jar and put it into a cool, dark spot to age for at least 48 hours. The longer you age the perfume, the stronger it will become, so feel free to sniff and add more oils after the first 48 hours has passed.

4. After you've aged the perfume, add 2 tablespoons of distilled water. For spray perfumes, add a bit more water. Now is also the time to add about 5 drops of glycerine to fix the fragrance.

5. Finally, use the funnel to pour your perfume into its bottle and apply a label with the name of your new creation. You may also want to add the date so you'll know how long your perfume lasts, and when it's time to make some more!

Additional Recipes

There are lots of basic recipes on-line for perfumes, if you're not interested in tinkering with smells at first and just want to get started. Check out PioneerThinking.com for recipes with exotic names like Orient Nights, Whispering Rain, Falling Stars, Enchanted, Amaze, and Misty Passions. They've also got recipes for cologne, for the men in your life, including something called the Homemade Love Tonic!

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is all about using scents to change your mood, so you might be interested in reading up on this topic before you begin. For a crash course in aromatherapy, check out Aromaweb.com, where you can read up on a variety of different kinds of essential oil profiles and find out how a particular scent can contribute to your overall well-being. An article from HowToDoThings.com on making perfume suggests a few quick fixes, including the following: "Jasmine and lavender can calm the anxious and aid in sleeping, orange and ylang ylang can ease anger, and sandalwood and grapefruit can fight fear. Need a boost of confidence? Try cypress or rosemary. Frankincense, rose, and bergamot can help relieve depression and grief. To increase memory powers, try black pepper and peppermint."

Notes

Finally, if you really want to get technical with your home perfume making, you should learn about notes. These are the order in which certain scents appear in a given fragrance, where the top note is the initial scent, the middle note is what you'll smell after the top note has dissolved into the air, and the base note is what lingers at the end. The Instructables directions on how to make perfume give a quick primer regarding what kinds of scents generally fall into each category, and suggest that when mixing your own perfume, you should built from the base notes up.

Typical base notes include heavy smells like patchouli, vetiver, frankincense, cedarwood and sandalwood. Middle notes are slightly less heavy, and include coriander, palmarosa, marjoram, basil, rosemary, rose geranium, pettitgrain and lavender. Top notes usually include lighter scents like lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime, bergamot, spearmint and peppermint.

Recreating Brand-Name Perfumes

Though brand-name perfumes are usually carefully guarded trade secrets, there is a website that can help you out if you're looking to re-create your favorite perfume at home. It's called the Basenotes Fragrance Directory, and although it only offers rough approximations, it can point you in the right direction by breaking down the list of scents that make up each of the notes found in your favorite department store perfumes. You may not be able to find all of the ingredients, however, as this is what you're spending the big bucks for! As one example: Calvin Klein's Obsession uses middle notes of tagete, which comes from marigold flowers, and armoise, which is actually an oral toxin and must be used very sparingly. Since these items are not likely to be readily available in your local health food store, you may want to weigh the pros and cons of creating your own fragrances versus shelling out the money for your favorite store-bought scents.

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.

Did you know you could make homemade solid perfume in fragrances of your choice? Many people don't realize how easy it truly is to create their very own special homemade fragrances. If you have a difficult time finding perfume you like, or if you just want to have fun experimenting with fragrances, give the following homemade perfume recipe a try. You can even add sparkles that will add a touch of glitz and glamour to your skin, and you can experiment by combining various scents to create unique signature fragrances. Share your homemade perfume with others and you might even end up with special requests for the unique scents you create in your home.

Perfume in a Jar

Before beginning, you'll need small containers in which to store your homemade perfume. Small plastic containers with lids can be found in the storage section of most discount stores, and as long as they are heat-resistant, they are fine for this project. Alternately you can search craft stores for small decorative jars that are much more attractive. They are the best option if you plan on giving your homemade perfume as a gift.

To make homemade perfume in a jar you'll need 4 ounces of natural beeswax, 6 ounces of shea butter, 8 ounces of olive oil, and 2 ounces of fragrant oil of your choice. You'll also need a double boiler, and if you want your perfume to shimmer and glisten, consider buying very fine glitter.

Begin by melting the beeswax in a double boiler over moderate heat. After the beeswax has melted, stir in the shea butter, and continue stirring until the two are well mixed. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with the fragrant oil, and stir this mixture into the melted beeswax and shea butter. Stir in a small amount of very fine glitter if desired.

While the mixture is still warm, carefully pour it into small decorative jars, and allow it to continue cooling before covering and storing. This homemade perfume recipe makes approximately 18 ounces of solid fragrance.

Gift Giving Ideas

Homemade perfume in decorative jars makes a wonderful gift for those who appreciate fine fragrances. Consider making an attractive gift basket including several decorative jars containing various scents. Label each jar with a custom-made peel and stick label, and include your own special sentiments. Line the gift basket with shredded colored tissue paper, and place the jars inside. Surround the basket with clear cellophane, and tie the top with colorful paper twist or ribbons of your choice. Anyone who loves fragrances will be delighted to receive this very special and exceptionally impressive homemade gift.

Importance of Medicine

Face the State:

The drug business is just like any other--money is the motivating factor, pure and simple. And the state of Colorado is proving to be an excellent broker. So far this fiscal year, the state has pulled down nearly $3.4 million in medical marijuana registration fees and is on track to reap $11 million total by July. That's because every Coloradan who wants to obtain a medical marijuana permit has to shell out $90 per application, and that kind of money piles up quickly.

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.

So do you think perfume is about romance, about a nicely wrapped box from-or for-someone you love? When you think of perfume, do you think about the way it makes you feel, about the sensual pleasures of its scent, its color, the way its package is designed?

Well, think some more, because perfume is also a business, and its clientele are one among the world's best-researched markets. There are about eight thousand scents in commercial distribution around the globe, whose composition is carefully protected by those who paid a lot of money to develop them. Not only are their formulations carefully protected, but they're well-researched as well to make sure that they appeal to the right markets. Because the perfumes that sell in Asia, don't sell in the Middle East; Americans like different perfumes than the French.

Strong scents don't seem to sell in Asia, and for that reason a number of manufacturers only distribute eau de toilette. In the Latin countries and the Middle East, people prefer scents that linger. The French are more likely to buy complex, plush, rococo scents; consumers in the US and Canada prefer sporty, innovative perfumes. While Alain Lorenzo, president of Parfums Givenchy, explained to the New York Times, "The rule of thumb is richer scents are preferred by Latin and black cultures and fresher ones by European cultures," the lines aren't at all clear when it seems that vanilla scents sell well in all markets; Hispanic-American women prefer fruity-floral scents.

Since each market is different, let's look at one in particular: Dubai. In 1999, this port of entry into the United Arab Emirates, imported $146 million dollars worth of perfumes and toilet waters. Just under half (48%) came from France, with significant market share distributed between the USA (12.6%), Italy (6.8%), Switzerland (3%) and Germany (2.8%). France's domination of this market is telling; because among the 250 regional markets where French perfumes appear, the UAE ranks twelfth.

Dubai shoppers prefer designer brands, and leading French perfumers-like Givenchy-will plan to release new scents in Paris and the Gulf, simultaneously; Christian Dior has more than 70 retail outlets across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (that include Dubai). France's significance for Dubai, and Dubai's significance to France, is unlikely to shift in the near future, even though German exports of perfumes, beauty products, and personal care products have doubled in the past decade. German-manufactured cosmetic, toiletry, and perfumes have achieved a reputation for innovation, quality, and product safety.

Perfume

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!

I have no idea why Jennifer Aniston always feels the need to pose semi-nude? She has a nice figure? fine, but how many times must we see it, in this way? I don't really understand her, in one breath she says, she doesn't like the attention of the press and the next time I see her, she seems to be doing all she can to gain their attetion (posing like this, having her birthday party photographed, looking with cow eyes at Gerard Butler)

I was a fan of Friends, partiularly David Schwimmer and I felt he was over looked in favor of Jennifer for the simple fact, she was married to Brad Pitt, As far as I can see David as well as the rest of the cast (including Lisa Kudrow, were every bit as talented then Aniston.) It just shows, popularity in Hollywood has little to do with talent.

She doesn't want attention? she could leave Hollywood and have a very nice life for herself, as for Brad, he seems happy to me with Angelina, he has never said a bad word about Jennifer, so why all the hate from her fans? I wish Aniston would stop implying about her divorce. it would be nice to see her really work on her acting, come back and do something dramatic, find someone to marry or don't, have children or not, whatever her heart desires but I am tired of hearing about her every five minutes.

JENNIFER ANISTON APPEARED NUDE FOR PERFUME ADVERT TO CAUSE CONTROVERSY, GAIN ATTENTION

class="postmetadata alt"> Tuesday April 20, 2010

JENNIFER Aniston came up with the idea to pose naked for the advertising campaign behind her new Lolavie fragrance.

The actress, 41, was keen to get a ton of attention for her latest venture — and, of course, herself.

“Being naked was all Jennifer’s idea,” a source told PopEater. “She is a marketing genius.

“Have you ever noticed how Jen is always rumored to be dating when one of her new movies debuts?

“Jennifer knows exactly how to get attention and uses it to her advantage.”

The perfume ads aren’t the first time Jen has bared all to promote a project — she posed naked for GQ magazine back in 2008.

Meanwhile, Aniston has revealed she wants to launch her own range of beauty products.

“Anything’s possible,” she said. “I would hope we get to do many things together. But for the moment I’ll stick with Lolavie and we’ll see how it slides up the flagpole.

“The way I was approached, given such involvement, I never felt like, ‘Oh, gosh, I shouldn’t do this’. And if something is good, it doesn’t matter if the marketplace is crowded. I thought it was an opportunity to go behind the scenes, and if it feels good, why not go for it? It’s like being a producer and knowing the writers and stirring up ideas as opposed to being an actor for hire.”

Jennifer recently insisted she no longer cares what people think about her — she only does what makes her happy.id="more-203350">

“I don’t think you can control that at the end of the day,” she said. “You can’t stunt what you do to please or not please the public. And the media will create stories whether they are true or false.

“So why stop doing what makes you happy? Be true to yourself and everything else will follow.”

Many people find a perfume they love and use it for years. While there is certainly nothing wrong with this approach, one can run the risk of becoming so accustomed to the perfume that it is easy to become immune to the scent and over use it. All of us know the woman who practically knocks you over with her perfume and none of us want to be that woman! To create a unique touch acquiring a fragrance wardrobe is highly recommended. Just as jewelry or shoes can add a distinctive touch to your outfits, perfume has the power to do the same. You wouldn't wear the same thing to a formal dinner as you would to a sporting event so it certainly makes sense that the perfume you choose should vary according to place and time.

To understand how to choose the perfect perfume for the right occasion you need to understand the perfume categories. Perfume categories are growing by the day and they can and do sometimes overlap. Due to the rapidly growing popularity of niche perfumes and the advances in scientific research new and unique scent categories are created every day.

The Fragrance Foundation is the authority on all things perfume and their fragrance categories are as follows: (from the Fragrance Foundation website www.fragrance.org). These descriptions are listed on the first page of their excellent site filled with fantastic fragrance information.

Citrus
The light, fresh character of citrus notes (bergamot, orange, lemon, petitgrain, mandarin, etc.) is often combined with more feminine scents (flowers, fruits and chypre).

Green
Green notes are natural in character; often married with fruity and floral notes, they are modern and fashionable.

Flowery
An accord of different floral notes. Combines with any other family, flowery perfumes are universally commercial.

Flowery Aldehydic
Aldehydes add sparkle to flowery notes. Aldehydic creations radiate elegance and originality.

Single Floral
A composition based on the scent of one particular flower; the main examples are rose, jasmine, tuberose, lily of the valley or ylang.

Oriental
A blend of warmth and mystery. Musks and precious woods are complemented by exotic essences.

Semi-Oriental
Semi-orientals combine oriental notes with various florals. Top notes are often fresh.

Chypre
Based on a woody, mossy and flowery complex, sometimes with aspects of leather or fruits, chypre perfumes are rich and tenacious.

(From www.fragrance.org)

There are other categories, however, understanding these will help you to determine how to match your perfume to the occasion. Perfume websites also frequently describe scents by categories. The Luckyscent and Sephora websites both feature very helpful sections that will help you to choose a perfume by its fragrance family.

There are perfume classics and disasters in each of the categories. The informative book Perfume The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez is a wonderful resource that rates perfumes and can be an invaluable resource to help you avoid the disasters and discover the greats in each category.

Citrus and green scents are often good choices for the work place. Citrus fragrances are fresh and light and green fragrances can be warm and natural and convey sophistication.

Flowery, single note florals and flowery aldehydics are good choices for that all important first date or elegant sophisticated gatherings. Consider a perfume from this category if you want to stay within a more conventional fragrance family.

Chypre scents, popular in the thirties, are making a comeback in a big way. These fragrances are statement making and generally you will either love them or absolutely hate them. They convey an evocative and rich presence and the best are well balanced and beautiful. This category is a great choice when you want to distinguish yourself with a unique perfume.

Orientals. These are excellent choices for that special evening or when you want to add mystery and sex appeal to that little black dress. They are generally heavy and have a very strong presence so wearing them in the office may not be the best idea.

There are thousands of perfumes available and just a spray will help to create a mood make a memory or mark a special occasion. Don't limit yourself to just one...enjoy the possibilities!

JULIAN ROUAS PARIS smells great

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.

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).

JULIAN ROUAS PARIS smells sexy

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.

From a smoker’s point of view, the bans on smoking may be going to far. I can understand a ban on smoking indoors – I’m okay with that. But, what I can’t understand is a ban on smoking in the great outdoors. Most smokers are courteous and will walk away from a crowd in order not to offend anyone. But, what about people who follow you when you walk away from the crowd? Has this ever happened to anyone?

While attending my daughter’s softball game, I walked away from the crowd to smoke. I walked almost to the parking lot, where there was no one near me. I lit my cigarette and after a few minutes, a woman arrived pulling an oxygen tank. This woman saw me smoking and walked about 40 steps out of her way to walk near where I stood – for the single purpose of being able to make a comment about the fact that I was smoking in public!
So, my question is this. I understand why people who do not smoke do not want to be subjected to my second-hand smoke – and I respect that. But, what do you about people who choke you with their perfume? Where are the rights for people who suffer from migraines, asthma, and allergies?

I once worked in an office with 200-300 hundred other people. In the beginning, we had a smoking and a non-smoking break-room. The two break-rooms were on opposite ends of a hallway and well ventilated. But, that was not enough for the non-smokers. They wanted us outside of the building – exposed to the elements. But, this still wasn’t enough for them – because they liked to sit outside at the picnic tables in warm weather, and there we were. So, the non-smoker’s petitioned until the smoker’s had to completely leave the property in order to smoke. They won – or did they?

I suffer from migraines. One thing that causes the onset of a migraine is strong smells, especially in the form of perfume. I pulled into the parking lot one morning as another person was going in the front door. I stepped out of my car and was almost blown away in the wake of her perfume – a wake that followed her into the building. Sometimes, a migraine hits like a bomb – out of nowhere. One minute you are fine – the next minute, Wham! By the time I got to my desk, I could barely see – and a coworker had to drive me home. I lost a day of work because of perfume!

So, the smoker’s struck back – we petitioned until we succeeded in having perfume and strong colognes banned. And, I never had to miss work again. The smoker’s were still banned from the property, but so were the days of migraines for migraine sufferers and sneezing for allergy sufferers.

If you do not want to be around the smoke from my cigarette, just ask me politely. I will gladly walk away and enjoy my cigarette in peace. But, return the same courtesy. Don’t expose me to a migraine by wearing overpowering perfume or cologne. This infringes upon my rights – and the rights of all sufferers of migraines, asthma, and allergies. So, next time you bathe, before you cover yourself with that perfume or cologne that you think makes you more appealing, think about that person who may lose a day’s pay so that you can smell nice!

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.

So far we thought the weirdest thing about this weekend’s Saturday Night Live was that formerly prolific movie actor Ryan Phillippe was getting to host (co-starring in next month’s Lorne Micheals–produced SNL spinoff MacGruber probably didn’t hurt). But we were overlooking the night’s true wild card: divisive pop-culture personality, partying-and-glitter devotee, and musical guest Ke$ha. So, what kind of contrived mischief does she have up her sleeve? Oh, how about pitching sketch ideas? She tells MTV:

I have some ideas. I don't know ... it hasn't been confirmed or denied yet [if I'll appear in a sketch], so I can't say for sure. But I would love to do something funny … one idea was someone recently told me I smell like shrimp in a diaper, so I thought I could do a perfume skit about me with my eau de perfume being a shrimp in a diaper. It's very sensual.

Take a minute with that. It’s actually not terrible, right? We could see a Home Shopping Network–type deal, with Jason Sudeikis doing Billy Mays hawking Ke$ha Shrimp-in-Diaper. Wow — first Tom Cruise is outed as an innovative script doctor, and now it turns out that Ke$ha’s practically on the SNL writing staff?

Ke$ha 'Bonded' With Ryan Phillippe During 'SNL' Rehearsals

"The writer and activist Meridel Le Sueur once wrote, in reference to artists feeding at the corporate trough, 'They just want you to perfume the sewers. They need artists to bring perfume to the terrible stench of their death.' It’s a pity that an artist as talented as Julie Mehretu cannot imagine other possibilities for herself as an artist than to take millions from Goldman Sachs and 'just hope it will feel O.K. over time.'"

—MEOW!

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.)

Today, it seems every celebrity has a perfume scent with their name attached to it. From Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely, to Britney Spears' and Beyonce Knowles' lines of fragrance to the classics of Chanel and Dior, there are hundreds of bottles to choose from. But how do you find the right one?

First answer, of course, is ignore the brand name or label. Just because Jennifer Lopez says you won't end up smelling like a skunk doesn't mean you won't. Choose a smell based on how it smells on your skin, and your personal tastes.

There are several basic themes which perfume manufacturers stick to: Chypre, citrus, floral, and ambers. Chypre scents have a woody, mossy, floral base to them. Citrus scents incorporate orange, lemon, tangerine, and grapefruit, much like Calvin Kline's CK One. Floral smells just as it sounds, like flowers. An example of a floral scent would be Chance by Chanel. Ambers have a delightful mix of musk, vanilla, spice, and animal scents, such as Obsession.

Once you've decided on a category of perfume to try, go to your nearest perfume counter. Try a few scents out on paper before deciding on one to put to the test. Apply to the back of your hand, and then wait an hour. If you do apply the perfume to your wrist, avoid rubbing your wrists together. This can crush the delicate buds of scent and distort the sampling. It isn't how a perfume smells in the bottle or immediately after application, it's how it reacts with your skin chemistry much later that can make or break a scent as one for you.

The reason behind this is perfumes have four layers. The first layer, or top note, is the first scent you get after applying the perfume. It's the most noticeable, but is also the one the fades the quickest. The next layer, or middle note, is the next apparent component to the perfume. It appears several minutes after applying the perfume, and can stay up to an hour before disappearing. The third layer, or base note, appears usually after a half hour and is the layer that stays on your skin throughout the day. And the final layer is one most overlook, the natural scent of your skin. Just like everyone's DNA is different, everyone has a unique skin chemistry that can affect the outcome of a perfume.

Keep this guide in mind next time you are perfume shopping, and you are sure to find a scent that's right for you!

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.”

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

About two months ago, I was at the mall and purchased a perfume set as a gift for one of my coworkers. With my purchase, I received a sample of Stella by Stella McCartney. Stella Perfume is named for the designer daughter of Beatles legend Paul McCartney. This alone, is reason enough for me to love this perfume! When I got home, I opened my Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney to see what it smelled like. I read about Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney in various fashion magazines, but I didn't think to try it. When I opened the sample, I was immediately greeted with the sweetest and lightest hint of roses and one of my favorite flowers, peony. There are too few perfumes that contain the amazing scent of peony. Peonies for me, bring back so many memories of my backyard growing up, because we had them growing in different colors all over the yard.

After I smelled the Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney, I was disappointed that I didn't smell it in Sephora, because I would have purchased it right then and there. As it turned out, the next day, I had to go back to Sephora, because I had second thoughts about the gift that I purchased for my coworker, and I returned it and got her a different gift set from the same store. While there, I decided to purchase the Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney. I wasn't sure that I wanted to spend the $48.00 for the small 1 ounce Eau de Parfum Purse Spray, but since I was so crazy about the fresh peony and rose scent, I didn't mind too much. Almost immediately after I got into the car, I sprayed some on. I have to say that sometimes perfumes that are rose scented are not my favorite. In fact, to me, they can be overpowering and sickening. Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney was very different, in that it was so fresh and soft. This a very feminine perfume and it is not strong at all. I also love the purple bottle that it comes in!

I was very surprised that my daughter liked Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney. She very seldom likes perfumes that contain hints of rose. She finds them too strong and not very youthful. I must say, that she loved this perfume, and even wore a little when she went on a little shopping trip with her friends. She is familiar with Stella McCartney as a fashion designer, and I think this was one of the reasons that she gave the perfume a chance. She likes Stella McCartney very much as a fashion designer and I think that the fact that the perfume had Stella's name on it, it gave it credibility in my daughter's eyes. Anyway, the Stella Perfume smelled even better on my daughter. Maybe this is because she only put on a little spray of it, or perhaps that she is younger and her body chemistry differs from mine.

My husband also loved the Stella Perfume by Stella McCartney. He said it smelled very fresh and he loved the flowery scent of roses. He couldn't believe how much this perfume smelled of fresh roses and peony flowers, and commented that even though rose scented perfumes reminded him of a grandmother, this perfume was not too "mature" smelling. I was happy that my family enjoyed this perfume as much as I do. I will continue to use Stella by Stella McCartney. I will buy another bottle when I run out with this one. I only regret that I didn't buy the bigger bottle. Next time, I will.

She looks good. No doubt about it. Keep doing that yoga thing. Breath of FIre et. al....

Yes. A bit jealous. But. I'm approaching fifty. No where near as thin. Is that important? I put that out there in the great void. Does it matter that I can't fit into size 6? or size 8? or 10? or in some stores a size 12? To whom are they selling their perfume and water and clolthes and shoes? Sarah Palin, Michele Bacfhmann, Ann Coulter? Gratuitious marketing is what I see. I watched the women who walked into the Bachman/Palin fundraiser in Minneapolis last week. I was protesting out on the street.

These women were trying really, really hard to wear the latest fashion and the highest heels. None of them could pull it off. I believe what Gail Collins wrote in the New York Times this week: a lot of people (mostly women) who attended the rally wish their ass looked as good in high priced jeans.

It's all about the woman's body. And how it is sold. Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann are closer to the Hollywood ethos than they think.

And they sell themselves as Middle America simple folks.

Give me a break.

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

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.

@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.
