TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR SIGNATURE FRAGRANCE

You are unique. You can search the whole world and not find another you. As the saying goes, “Be yourself; everyone else is taken.” Therefore, your fragrance should also be unique. A signature scent leaves an impression on people, so they remember you long after leaving the room.

So, how do you choose your signature fragrance? Keep reading to find out.

What to Consider When Choosing Your Scent

A signature fragrance is personal – it should reflect your individuality and make you feel confident. Here are a few things to keep in mind when deciding which fragrance best represents you:

Advertisements

Scent families

Fragrances are generally grouped into families based on their predominant scent notes. Floral scents, for example, tend to be soft and feminine, while musky scents are more intense and masculine. Consider what kind of scent you generally prefer before narrowing down your options.

Longevity

You’ll want to choose a fragrance that has good longevity and lasts throughout the day without being too overwhelming. Eau de parfum typically has the longest-lasting scent, followed by eau de toilette.

Application

Fragrances can be applied directly to the skin or sprayed on clothing. If you choose to apply it directly to your skin, consider where you’ll be applying it – pulse points like the wrists and neck tend to work best. 

How to Find the Right Scent For YOU

Consider your personality. Are you outgoing and bold, or are you an introvert that enjoys a low-key get-together with friends? Do you think of yourself as athletic and sporty, or prefer quiet activities such as reading or knitting? Do you enjoy being out in nature or being in a comfy chair in your living room playing video games? Is your ideal night out going to a nightclub or sitting around a fire?

Advertisements

Next, think about the types of fragrances that you typically enjoy.

Advertisements

Do you prefer light and airy scents or rich and heady ones? Fruity or floral? Spicy or woodsy? Once you’ve decided on the general type of scent you’re looking for, you can start exploring some of the most popular fragrance notes. Floral aromas often contain rose, jasmine, or tuberose notes, while fruity scents might include citrus, berries, or melon. Spicy scents typically feature notes of pepper, cardamom, or cloves, and woodsy scents often include cedarwood, sandalwood, or vetiver. 

Don’t forget to take into account the season and weather. You’ll want to steer clear of anything too heavy or spicy if it’s hot, as these can be overwhelming in warm weather. Conversely, a light and airy scent might not be noticeable enough if it’s cold out.

Once you have an idea of the type of scent you are looking for, it is time to start testing out different fragrances. This is the best way to find a scent that you love. Head over to Dossierco to take the 1-minute quiz to find your scent, and Dossier gives you 30 days to return if not satisfy without any complications, but we know you will love the scents you pick! Here is a bonus, use Code Lee10 for an additional 10% off Dosser. co. The dossier has a welcome offer of up to $20 on the website plus, free shipping on 3 or more items!

How to Apply Perfume for Maximum Effect

When applying perfume, remember that less is more. Start with a small amount and add more if necessary. Apply it to pulse points such as your wrists, behind your ears, and in the crook of your elbow. These areas generate body heat, which will help to release the fragrance. 

Advertisements

Avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume, as this will break down the molecules and alter the scent. Finally, give your perfume a chance to settle before you make a final judgment – it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a couple of hours for the full fragrance to develop depending on the scents.

The Best Fragrances for Men and Women

When it comes to fragrances, some are better suited for men, and others are better suited for women. This is often due to the different scents that men and women find appealing. For example, men prefer bolder, more intense smells, while women usually prefer lighter, more delicate aromas. 

Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule, and ultimately it is up to each individual to decide what smells best on them. After all, it’s important to find a scent that makes you feel confident and comfortable – something that feels like an extension of your style. After all, perfume is all about expressing your unique personality.

How To Recreate the Viral Hailey Bieber Smoothie on a Budget

If there’s one thing we are always on the lookout for, it’s tips on how to achieve flawless, glowing skin. Luckily, we have celebrities like Hailey Bieber to let us in on their skincare secrets. Well known for her flawless skin, she recently launched her beauty line, Rhode. While Rhode currently has a waitlist, her viral Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie does not. 

Advertisements

Launched at Erewhon Market in June, Hailey Bieber’s limited-edition smoothie includes skin-enhancing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid (which, by the way, we did not know you could ingest) and sea moss, which Erewhon described as a “wellness supporting ingredient.” Coming in at $17, this smoothie promises to have your skin glowing from the inside out. If you’re like us and don’t have an Erewhon Market nearby, or if you want to save money (doesn’t everyone?), you can easily re-create the viral smoothie from the comfort of your kitchen. To find out if the smoothie is worth the hype, we tested it out for ourselves.

How to re-create the smoothie

We followed the recipe Vital Proteins shared on their TikTok, which omits the hyaluronic acid and sea moss, making it more budget friendly. Although these two ingredients are the stars of the smoothie show, don’t worry. This recipe is still packed with nutrient-dense flavors that are great for your skin. Almonds contain a nice dose of vitamin E and zinc, while strawberries are good for your heart, and collagen and hyaluronic acid may help your skin cell turnover. Plus, this recipe uses vegan cream instead of dairy, and both maple syrup and dates, sweeteners that have more nutrients than sugar.

That being said, if you want to make the smoothie more authentic to the one sold at Erewhon Market, hyaluronic acid and sea moss are both available to order online. The recipe we followed does call for a strawberry glaze, which you can make yourself. For a more convenient option, it can also be purchased from the store, or you can use an alternative like strawberry jam or preserves.

Once we had our ingredients assembled, it was as simple as tossing them into our Nutribullet and blending until everything was well combined. In the meantime, we used the back of a spoon to spread coconut cream and strawberry glaze onto the sides of our drinking glass. You can skip the aesthetics and put both ingredients at the bottom of your glass for the same effect.

Before trying the smoothie out for yourself, we would be remiss not to mention some quick tips. Depending on your blender, you may need to cut up the dates before blending to save yourself from big chunks of dates. Additionally, make sure to blend the smoothie thoroughly so that the collagen powder is well incorporated. Lastly, while dates, maple syrup, and strawberry glaze contain naturally occurring sugars, the amount this smoothie calls for is something to be mindful of. If you want to make it less sweet, you can simply use only one date or omit the maple syrup or strawberry glaze altogether.

Our thoughts as registered dietitians

We loved the texture of this smoothie. Thanks to the avocado, it was thick and creamy and much fluffier than other smoothies we have tried. The taste reminded us of a strawberry milkshake, and we would recommend this to anyone looking for a delicious post-workout snack or an on-the-go breakfast option.

For us, smoothies are our go-to summer breakfast, and we can see ourselves adding this to our weekly smoothie rotation. we love to toss a handful of greens into our smoothies for an extra nutrient boost, which we plan on doing with this recipe in the future. Chia seeds are our favorite smoothie topping to aid in digestion, and we think they would make an excellent match for this glowing skin smoothie.

While this smoothie does contain some amazing ingredients for your skin (think: healthy fats from the avocado, vitamin C from the strawberries, and collagen for tissue support), we wouldn’t say it’s a magic cure-all for your skincare woes. As always, staying hydrated and eating a well-rounded diet rich in plants and other whole foods will provide essential nutrients to protect and keep your skin healthy.

Author’s Notes

You can replace Collagen Beauty Greens with fresh aloe vera. Aloe vera is a fantastic natural ingredient that helps our skin to retain moisture and improve elasticity. It is full of antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it an excellent component to add to your smoothies.

Dates contain nutrients and antioxidants that can delay the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, giving your skin an extra glow.
