Fragrance of a Woman

Afternoon to you bloggers! This blog is going to be all about Perfume! I always get complemented on my perfumes and sometimes I have nothing on but soap, lol. What kind of smells to you folks like? whats in ur perfume collection? In mine you'll find:

- Cashmere Mist, Donna Karan
- pureDKNY, DKNY
- L'Eau d'lssey, Issey Miyake
- Incanto Bliss, Savatore Ferragamo
- Be Delicious(green), DKNY
- Miss Dior Cherie, Dior
- Chole, Chole'
- J'adore, Dior

I also have tonsssss of body sprays from Victoria's Secret, bath&body works, etc.. Now looking at my list your probably thinking, wth that's all expensive perfumes! Yes, they are, but its what I like(don;t judge me) If the body shop made these perfumes or a drug store made them, I would by it from them! I'm not a brand whore, I just like what I find that smells good to me and on me..

You may notice that you buy a perfume because you smelled it on someone and loved it, but when you brought it, it smells totally different on you. Your own body chemistry affects how different notes react on your skin. Anything that affects the “natural” smell of your skin, such as stress, hormonal changes, your current diet or medications, might change how a perfume smells on you..

So tell me, whats in your collection?

Once you had the BEST, u cant do better

My What-A-Beauty (picture heavy)

What is beauty to you? Who are the most beautiful women you've seen? What makes someone beautiful?

Beauty to me naturally comes from within. Not just the outer, but the inner! If the outer is drop dead gorgeous, but the inner could be so dark and ugly that it spoils the outer beauty that everyone sees.. In this blog you'll find some of the women (famous) I've ever seen.. Both "old school and new" lol..

Classic Beauty:

Sophia Loren

How could you even have a list about thee most beautiful women and not mention this Italian beauty? I remember growing up when I would visit my Grandparents (Both my Grandparents are Italian and Come from Italy. My Granmama from Rome & Grandfather from Capri) in Long Island, NY. My Grandfather would tell me how much he loved her and that she was the epitome of what and how a Italian woman should be inside & out, besides my Grandmother of course, lol, He always remembered to throw that part in!

Rita Moreno

Puerto Rican born Rita Moreno may not be too known to ppl who aren't movie or TV buffs(she stared in West Side Story, and countless others) Her middle name could be, beauty! I mean look at her younger picture and more newer one! Beautiful! Her eyebrows have always been on point! lol! If you know me u know I love eyebrows! Not only does she have beauty on the outside, but she is the only Hispanic to win a Emmy, Oscar, Grammy, and a Tony and was the second Puerto Rican to win an Academy Award! She has won countless other awards including the Presidential medal of Freedom in 2004!

** As u can see from my 1st 2 picks, I'm a very proud Italian/Puerto Rican!! **

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe is America's beauty! If you were to ask anyone who they were to idolise as beauty, 9 out of 10 times they would say, Marilyn Monroe! People til this day try to recreate her style and image.. Her face, flawless! her body, curvaceous! her smile, breath-taking! Not only is her style often duplicated, but her quotes live on as well. One of my favorite quotes is from her, I guess all & all her beauty, Timeless!!

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." 

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn has that Girl Next door beauty. When ever you see a picture of her it oozes elegance and grace!! Like Marilyn Monroe her style is often recreated. A fashion icon! Her style influences designers til today! The little black dress dolled up with tons of Diamonds and Pearls!! Simple, but beautiful just like her!!

Woman of Today!

Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai Tons of words can explain or describe her beauty, but only 1 word comes to the tip of your tongue, BEAUTIFUL!! I 1st seen her in this movie called Pride & Prejudice ( the Bollywood version) Her beauty is so captivating!! Her eyes, lips, hair, everything about her makes you stop what your doing and pay attention. It's like without saying it she demands your full attention!! She has that elegant beauty. She mixes her Indian culture with modern style.

Claudia Lynx

Whenever I see a picture I think, not only is she beautiful, but for some odd reason I think she should have played the role of Tomb Raider! Lol, i don't know why I think that when I see a picture of her!

Alyssa Milano

Growing up I loved Alyssa Milano! She is til this day 1 of my favorite actresses. She is beautiful, and very giving. She doesn't give in to what the media thinks she should look like. She lives her life true to her and her family! I met her once and I honestly didn't know what to say, 1 of the 2 times in my life I was without words, lol.

So there it is people! My pick on thee most beautiful women.. I hope you enjoyed this!!

Starting the Day off Right

Good morning bloggers! It's a beautiful day out today. What better way to start you're day off than a healthy/hardy breakfast? Me and my Niece Gianna were up before her Mom or my Son, Cadyn. We decided we were hungry, lol. So I made over easy eggs, toast w grape jelly(I only really like grape jelly) and half a orange sliced up. I made Gianna some Oatmeal with brown sugar.. She's only 2 so I don't think she would have enjoyed eggs and toast, lol, but she did help me eat the orange slices. I really don't know what the deal was w my eggs, lol..

 I always have to have ALL ingredients out whenever I start to cook anything! It's easier that way!

By the way, like my Rachel Ray pot? I have the collection, lol!

 

 Making GG's Oatmeal w Milk for healthy bones!

 After Milk and a small dash of salt comes hot (not a boil) add Oats and keep on heat for 1-2 min and then place to the side off of heat to let them, settle I guess u could say.

 Slice Oranges for some reason make me happy, lol am I weird? lol maybe!

Like I said, I don't know what happen to my eggs, lol. So this is the end products, GG & My breakfast! For her Oatmeal after I let it settle I just added a little brown sugar.

Well I hope yall start you're Monday off good. It's the start of the week, start it off right! :)
