JENNIFER ANISTON AND THE SCENTS SHE LOVES MOST:  ARTICLE FROM 'PEOPLE' JULY 20, 2015 ISSUE

 

"I am very anti-cologne on men.  I love the way they smell naturally.  Their own eau de sweat"

Jennifer Aniston

 

In the 'PEOPLE' July 20, 2015 issue was all about and in honor of Jennifer Aniston's new fragrance, which is Near Dusk.  Near Dusk, according to Jennifer Aniston is a beach-inspired fragrance.  It contains notes of nectarine, jasmine and coconut water.

 

 

"I've been wanting to do more of a night time fragrance, something a little sexier."

Jennifer Aniston

 

 

These are the favorite scents or aromas that Jennifer Aniston loves most:

 

~ How did she get into making fragrances?

 

     When her girlfriends began to get married, she brought bottles of oils to bachelorette parties, then every one would pass around the beautiful glass antique perfume jar, and they will all put in drops of oil and set an intention for the bride.

 

~ What is the aroma she always recognize?

 

     Night-blooming jasmine.  Jennifer grew-up in New York, so she was not around flowers that much.  But when she went to her friends' houses in the country, it was one of those smells she loved.  It gives her a feeling of butterflies.

 

 

~ What was the first perfume she ever owned?

 

     Miss Dior was the first perfume Jennifer ever owned.  But according to her, it doesn't smell the same anymore, because it was literally for kids.  Which was the only reason Jennifer's mother would let her wear it, even though she would always sneak her perfumes.

 

 

 

~ Were her parents strict about makeup?

 

     Jennifer parents were very strict that way.  They didn't want her to grow up too fast.  She wasn't allowed to wear makeup until Jennifer was 15.  Now, she see kids at 12 years old in full makeup.  She wants to shake them and tell them that, "You really don't understand how fast it's about to grow up."

 



 

 

~ Who has the best smelling home she visited?

 

      Ellen DeGeneres' home, according to Jennifer smells delicious and really earthy; although, she cannot put her finger on it.  Other places that stand out to her is the smell of church (any church).  She is not religious in any way, but she do loves all of those wonderful incenses.

 

 

~ What does Justin Theroux smell like?

 

     Jennifer Aniston likes Justin in natural oils.  He does a sandalwood kind of smell, which is one of the things she said drew her to him.  He has those come-hither sandalwood pheromones happening.

PERFUME, SCENT, AND FRAGRANCE

PERFUME, SCENT, AND FRAGRANCE:  FROM 'BEAUTY INSIGHT' ARTICLE OF GLAMOUR - MAY 2015 ISSUE

 "Choosing a scent should be impulsive, based on emotions and taste."

Honorine Blanc

 

 

Here are a few experts' tips for testing, using, and cherishing your personal dream perfume, scent, and fragrance in these perfume ground rules.

 

 



Rule1:  Hit the reset button when testing.

"If you inhale perfumes for too long while testing at the store, you'll exhaust your scent receptors.  The traditional trick of sniffing coffee beans jolts them back into action, but it's a little overkill.  Do as the perfumers do and sniff a neutral area, like the crook of your elbow (where, presumably, you haven't been spraying anything); it will give your nose a break to recover."

Honorine Blanc

A Lebanon-born, Paris-trained perfume expert, who created some fragrances for Estee Lauder, Michael Kors, and YSL to her name.

 

 

 

Rule 2:  Spraying the air and walking through the cloud?  Not worth it.

"It's a waste of good perfume.  To prevent the scent from overwhelming, choose one pulse point instead - the neck, behind the ears, or wrists, where your skin will warm the scent and gently diffuse it around you.  Allowing it to evaporate naturally on the skin keeps the scent pure."

Francis Kurkdjian

A award-winning fragrance expert behind perfumes like Narciso Rodriguez for Her and Burberry My Burberry

 

 

"There's a long history of women stealing their boyfriend's cologne!"

Cecile Hua

 

Rule 3:  Take those bottles out of the bathroom so they'll last longer.

"Treat a perfume like a fine wine; the juice can degrade quickly when exposed to light, heat, or air.  Keep it anywhere but the bathroom.  The temperature and humidity fluctuations as the quickest ways to ruin your scent.  Store on a vanity or shelf away from light, and with good care, perfumes can last for a year or more."

Cecile Hua

She is the Provence native perfume expert who is responsible for Atelier Cologne Grand Neroli, Jessica Simpson Fancy, and, most recently Ralph Lauren Ralph Fresh, of which she was a coperfumer.



JILLIAN MICHAELS' SEVEN STEPS TO SUCCESS

JILLIAN MICHAELS' SEVEN STEPS TO SUCCESS:  COVER STORY FROM 'GOOD HOUSEKEEPING' ~ JANUARY 2015 EDITION

 "People think 'Maximize your life' means 'Get your sh*t together.' but it means your are worthy and capable of having more."

 

JILLIAN MICHAELS

She is best known for her appearances as fitness guru on NBC's The Biggest Loser and Losing It With Jillian.  Now Jillian is 40 years old and sharing her seven key strategies that helped her to have a successful life.

 

 

Jillian's Seven Steps to Success

 



 

 

1.  Define and Detail Specific Goals

         Jillian said that, "People can achieve anything if they feel the goal is worth it, but most people don't stop to think in detail about why they pursue a goal, or what achieving it might look like in their life, or how it makes them feel.  They haven't detailed it, connected with it or cultivated it.  That vagueness makes for lousy motivation."  Her advise is to drill down as far as possible into your "whys" to keep yourself motivated as you pursue your goal.

 

2.  Do Your Homework

       Jillian recommended that, one should read and learn everything he/she wants, which includes the steps other people have taken to achieve it, so one can pick effective strategies and form a game plan.  She added, "Go to experts with proven, long-term results.  They've done it for themselves, helped other people do it, and have a track record."  She recommends that, one should study the methods of someone he/she admires, then figure out how to mimic them in a way that fits his/her life.

 

 

 

 

3.  Make A Goal Pyramid

         She suggested that, one should draw a pyramid with his/her main, long-term goal at top such as, lose 50 pounds, start a business, or go back to school.  Then below, break it down into specific monthly, weekly or even daily goals, using the strategies he/she chose when doing his/her "homework."  By doing this, one is creating a step-by-step road map to make attaining whatever it is he/she want feel easier.

 

4.  Take Responsibility

         She said that "We should accept that yes, bad stuff happens and there are times when we are victims ~ it's how you respond and move forward that matters."  Moreover, she added that "Part of taking responsibility is communicating what you need and want from those around you, whether it's a promotion or for your spouse to stop bringing home the ice cream you can't resist."  The bottom line she said is that we control our destiny.  We should step-up and do not be afraid to ask for what you want.  

        

 

 

5.  Answer The "What-Ifs"

         She said that by learning how to utilize fear and move through it rather than be paralyzed by it is critical.  Furthermore, one should address whatever he/she is afraid of in pursuit of his/her goal head-on by journaling answers to three questions, such as:

                  ~  What if I try and it works?

                  ~  What if I try and fail?

                  ~  What if I do nothing?

         She added that we learn from bad things, not good things, which is why we should face down our fears and try taking a leap of faith.

 

6.  Pick Up On Patterns and Pause.

         According to Jillian, "We all engage in destructive patterns.  Establish what dysfunctional or negative patterns hold you back and pay attention when that patterns starts to come up again.  Then 'stop' for your reaction is going to be impulsive and emotional; the key is to pause and do the exact opposite."  She added, "Study the way you react to challenges.  The next time a problem arises, consciously stop yourself and respond differently."

 

 

 

7.  Use Mistakes; Reframe Failures

         Jillian indicated that one should think of mistakes as teachable moments and try not to say, "I'm a failure', but instead ask, "What can I do better? What did I do wrong? Then reapproach."
