There is nothing I enjoy more than that of a wonderful fragrance; however, lately I have been particularly disappointed when staring into the perfume counter by items that have no respect to the promises bottled with. As most women, when I am buying perfume I am making that purchase for a variety of reasons; cost, scent, and vitally the elements of how strong and long such preferred smell lasts within the duration of my day. I am very tired of spending an extensive amount of money on a product that fails to live up to its brand’s precise promises so much so that I’ve nearly cut the product out of my spending budget; my needs for a luxurious perfume “must” be met because not only am I a woman but a consumer willing to pay the price for the product. Maddening me the most are perfume cards and magazine advertising that yield true perfection, yet a bottled product being nothing of what the delighted sampler was -- made only to catch my attention, deplete my hard earned cash, and completely flip-flopping in its end. I can only inquire within my mind what has happened to a once solid perfume industry.
Weeks prior I came across “Pretty Woman” perfume and just last week decided to attempt a brand new scent through consumer reviewing of the marketed fragrances; prior to beginning I must say that in no way was my review shaped by the company nor was payment accepted or offered per review. This review begins as a perfume I had no prior knowledge about and had never before smelled; like a blind date I was set up when I obtained the product. Quickly, I opened the box and unpacked the detailed information I obtained as a consumer reviewer; zealous to smell Pretty WomanI was at a complete loss for words upon smelling the perfumes aroma -- true and absolute perfection in the creation, by elite designer Hollywood’s Barbra Orbison.
In actually I was very disappointed that I only obtained samples of this exquisite perfume as I have the need for much more than a small sample, as a very active and on the go young business professional. In only a week of product use I have used over half of the sampler and I’m now trying to figure out how I can budget the cost for a regular sized bottle into my life and still be able to buy medication for my terminal illness clinical trial. True and dedicated to the very best and also to the finer things in life, Pretty Woman offers a fragrance that is complete to what a perfume should be without intensity and or duration faults. Such perfume brings out the my inner beauty, strengths in business, and radiates true confidence in myself as I know I smell great yet with a smell not too over powering yet when “walking down the street” such decadence that can be appreciated by fellow noses. This fragrance is empowering and ladies it drives men nuts with a yearning temptation to get to know ‘why you glow with true positivity’– as with Pretty Woman you will walk proud knowing your own inner grace now has its new scent, thanks to Ms. Orbison I’m the kind that society would “like to meet”. The smell of a true lush chic Hollywood princess is what I have uncovered with a blind trial of Pretty Woman, a product that I recommend merely because of what the product can do for you lush ladies; bring out the best by yielding a heightened perspective of five star regal qualities. I am thankful to know that perfume hasn’t lost all things gracious and powerful, Pretty Woman ensured my confidence that if you look for a fitting fragrance one is out there for women showing off the professionalism their made from. Surround thyself in luscious lily, carnation, vivacious vanilla, enchanting rose, patchouli, red cedar and secretive qualifiers of incense blended into a beautiful coupling of bonds.
Pretty Woman Perfume by Ms. Barbra Orbison is true to who I am, a young woman who doesn’t give up; true to Ms. Orbison’s mission to create a fragrance to capture the same “not giving up”…
Please Note: A lavish Pretty Woman candle will be up for grabs, seven bottled days from today’s date due to review to respect the traffic per product. The candle echo’s the above review just in a lavish scent to fill your whole home or your bedroom with true inspirational motive. The newsletter will remind you of this, if you are not already signed up with Hollywood Chic exclusive do it now on the left sidebar.
Allow your inner beauty to be given an aroma.
Babe.
Dear Harbor Freight:
Please allow me to be a gracious host, Sirs; make yourself at home and feel free to look around at the professional standing consumer marketing reviews I provide -- I see you in Mission Oaks/Camarillo/Beverly Hills hovering as guest traffic flows, quite often now. As a product reviewer I would be appreciative if you took some time to consider marketing a single product in your elite line-up to my site in an allowing for a review; I believe such review of both company and product would clear the now tarnished Harbor Freight name and give to your loyal consumers and future customers a “real feel” approach to buying direct from your discount retail/catalog/Internet store fronts.
Don’t you agree?
If a product review is something you’re willing to participate in please contact me, the email to my business is located in the left sidebar; mailing link icon. I am willing to work with you with a variety of SEO researching options to pick just the right product for my diverse audience or the increase of men coming onto my site to find out regarding the father/son lawsuit that was launched July 14, 2010. I hope the message of gencious note is received, I would also like to carry forth an interview; fair and balanced is my mission as a journalist. Mr. Smidt I would be thrilled to meet with you.
Until then please continue to buzz around my site and I do hope to give you some ideas for your wives, Pretty Woman Perfume would be a great elite gift on those days you may come on late and forget to take out the trash; also for young girls (the professionals child) you can get great gifting ideas. Please consider a clearing name review or a coupon code, it may be a perfect way to move into an innovative Internet advanced buyers market.
1. Did you have a favorite blanket or toy as a kid? If so, do you still have it?
Answer: My mother kept a great deal of items from my childhood and even my infancy, from non-used preemie hospital diapers to blankets and dresses. I’ve been told that my favorite item as a child was a pacifier, which I named “Al-Dee”; she has the pacifier still at her home with the other baby items. Each time I look through the box, I just can’t believe that at one time I was a mere 4 pounds and so helpless.
2. Do you dream in color?
Answer: Yes, we all dream in what our cognitive mind perceives as color. Many misunderstand psychologically when it is said our dreams are “black and white” and directly assume we dream without color; when in fact it simply means that are dreams at far from relative/reality. For example: Humans have a distinctive ability to control their dreams, which takes teaching and understanding the cognitive mind; however, if a door is closed within a dream that door can be opened. Second, when we dream about a specific person our dreams are never related to that person; the male/female is a mere symbolic image. Of course, this has a great deal greater meaning if you believe in Freudian or Jung psychology as both are dramatically of a difference.
3. How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller?
Answer: I’ve never complained about my height, thus I must be “okay” with it. I’m 5 foot 7 inches.
4. If you could have anyone's (celeb or other) voice as the guide on your GPS, who would it be?
Answer: I would prefer that Johnny Depp guides me to himself, in all honestly. To extend on this I love the voice of Pete Cashmore (Mashable) as a Scottish hunk of social media and new-age technology and rough accented Austrian voices.
5. Do you return your shopping cart to the corral or leave it wherever in the parking lot?
Answer: While I’ll speak the truth and honestly admit to leaving my share of carts just parked like magic on the pavement, now I usually do return my cart to the proper space after unloading. More or less, I park by them usually or park close/near them so this can easily be done. However, what do you do when the parking lot has no shopping cart corrals?
As avid social media users, Twitter has been a welcomed into our fast-paced business professional and personal lives; due to functional communication, a generalized definition of micro-blogging or short and quick cloud bursts of information, top-notch globalized connections assisting business, prestigious breaking news, and also as a social platform offering a number of diversified reasons -- different to all.
Ladies, we tweet; that’s what we do. However, have you ever considered a simplistic tweet as “benefiting” merely in an allowance of 140 characters? Within 2010, a start of a fresh decade of technology, Twitter has been tried and true to its apex benefits for various causes, charities, and advocacy to believe in… Raising millions, Twitter is now linked globally to micro-blogged humanitarianism; leading as number one in The United States.
Now until August 15, 2010 *you* can contribute $1 to National Geographic's “Polar Bear Fund”, all proceeds will go to research and study of globalized climate change and the effect. You do not need to pull out your credit cards or open up Paypal to donate $1, simply add the hashtag#SlowTheMeltto your tweets. That’s all, no money transfer needed; just tweet on Twitter. Note: Your tweet can be subjective to *anything* just add #SlowTheMelt, if you are unfamiliar with hashtagging that’s okay; your tweet should include #SlowTheMelt as I’ve typed it without spaces and using the pound symbol at the beginning for a hyperlink to be created.
Goal: To raise $25,000 (USD) for the assistance of Climate Change Research
It’s Friday and I’m waking up with deep frustration that immensely I hope I can work around to try to salvage the weekend. Welcome, everyone; and for those coming in at a later time please be aware that I write these blog hop Friday posts in the early morning before my brain isdiscombobulated by the day. Simply meaning that if it’s 4 or 5pm when you choose to visit, I have been working myself to death and putting in my professionalism; sleep, however, sounds more appealing to me at this point. Alas, please blame the general bitchiness of the following post on the hormones. Yeah... Yeah... I promised I wouldn’t blame it on the man. [Psst. It’s his entire fault.]
We learned, on Monday, that he must attend another “man event”; which is my polite and non-explicit way of saying that “as part of his work” he has to go out of town for the next few days. Can we have a little bit a sarcasm please, “wonderful, simply wonderful; I’m thrilled for him!” While I could have went, I’d rather not be around burping, farting, butt crack dudes talking about something I have no idea about. So for the next few days, here I’ll be alone. We have spoke about the next couple days in depth and it is my goal to make myself as busy as possible and catch up on my doctor prescribed sleep. I’ve made plans with a couple of old girlfriends who I haven’t seen since prior to the clinical trial and I just may venture out of town this weekend by myself; depending on the heat, for retail therapy. I’m having a very hard time trying to adjust from the life I had of terminal illness and chronic pain to a normal-like life.
I’ve been working since Wednesday on a stout time management schedule for myself and working-from-home; things seem to be going just as the man said they would. Damn, I hate it when he’s right; if it in reference to business he’s usually right. I scored two new positions this week in relation to business sustainability. I need a plan as I have really been “damaging” to myself due to intense guilt for goofing off far too much in relation to personal social media. When I say “damaging” I don’t mean anything good… Trust me.
Lastly, in regards to health I have had stability with my clinical trial. However, I am really starting to experience major mood swings; unrelated to the clinical trial. It’s a very difficult experience when from 2004 to 2010 your life have been without quality, I wouldn’t even call it a life at all to be matter of fact with you; then the Lord grants me a miracle and things are empowering and near normal. Six years without and I’m trying to adjust as quickly as the medication has adjusted to me; I am very scared of failure and it’s always in the back of my mind that tomorrow this medication could fail and I would have a sadistic taste of life and quickly be booted back into a terminal jail cell; as for those six years I was nothing more than a prisoner in my own body/shell. I’m just very scared, which is unrelated to my clinical trial but is deeply connected to the abusive past I have had to endure thanks to a monster.
I need some good laughs; support, inspiration, and I need the definition of a friend right now.I’m not ashamed to admit the truth.
(He made me promise, prior to leaving me, that I would be positive. We also went over the “adjustment” schedule; this schedule is due to the abuse I spoke out openly about that nearly lead to my death and is the best for me so I can deal with “change”. Be positive, Amanda… I just don’t see that occurring! I’ll have people checking in on me due to health reasons and I’m sure that things will get better; right now I don’t see them getting worse. That’s a good thing for me, to admit to; believe me I’m the one to always say “oh but something *has to go wrong and will go wrong*…)
Ok, now I just realized that I probably just scared everyone who was about to follow me away from that; I promise I’m not crazy.. I’m just a little unwell.. Smiles.
Ha. I’m a crazy bitch. Who am I kidding?
Twitter Events: Now thru 8/15/10, for every Tweet w/ #SlowTheMelt, @Popsicle will donate $1 to the National Geographic Polar Fund!
At 2pm Central @countybobs will also be hosting a Twitter Party; complete with some wonderful prizes and a chance to link in with some great friends and sponcers.

Happy Friday! Several weeks ago, my intellectually charming and compassionate friend, who I am without a doubt sure you know as “Boobies, Babies, and a Blog”, created a Friday blog hop; one that I am exceptionally proud to be a part of. ‘Fawk You Friday’ allows each participating member to express their complaints; whether you’re hormonal, irritated, frustrated, angered, or proud of your general bitchiness -- like me. Calm yourself, it’s quite alright to express yourself and your frustrations using the rather cute and self-created term ‘fawk’; simply, while you may want to, you are respectfully not dropping the F-Bomb… Hormonal in my rage, while I could easily write ten to twelve pages in regards to my frustration and irritants; I have limited the below list to only a few things, all that I would love to shove my middle finger to, with a short explanation.: (1.) Fawk You Windstream: As the only provider to high-speed Internet due to such a rural area, I am quite angered that I cannot double my connective speed; as advertised! The reason, it’s a great one, “our high speed data connection extends three miles from our office, we cannot double your speed as you live 3.4 miles from the office”. Yup, not kidding, that’s what I was told.
(2.) Fawk You Harbor Freight: As a journalist, I merely broke the story using new-media (blogging) methods; in regards to the confirmed lawsuit. I know how to and I do my job exceptionally well, Sirs. I would like to remind you that all information used in the single article I wrote was that of public information -- simply meaning that in context what I said had been cleared to be used in subsequent articles. Harbor Freight, I encourage you to have some dignity and show respect for an elite company; you are tainting your own reputation by threatening me as a blogger and following me. I do not care -- please note that I have no concern about who you are, corporate, you do not scare me; utilizing public information, I did nothing wrong.
(3.) Fawk You Commenter (Name Withheld): Yesterday I received a comment that stated “product reviewers just want something for free” and “product reviewers are just poor people”; these comments are still irritating me (as well as her actions via email), judging does not fly with me; nor does copping an attitude. Be aware that I’m the type of girl that refuses to hold your hand like mommy does, I will not be manipulated by pity me excuses for behavior, nor will I subject myself to your attitude; before you least expect it I’m the type of girl that will slap that attitude down so quickly you’ll be confused about what just happened. Oh, and by the way (unnamed commenter) you’re damn right that I’m never wrong… Fawk with my friends, judge us based on 7-year-old reasons and acting much like a 4-year-old you’re damn right I’ll take up for my friends who you are judging as “poor and out for free things”. Grow up, little girly; or take your dolly away from the adults.
The word “organic” can apply to a large variety of products. While many believe organic is just a term used to describe naturally grown food, fashionable apparel can also bear the title as organic and sadly many have never considered investigating such alternative to add another layer to environmental friendly acts. Akin many think of cotton as a material used for clothing and other items, forgetting that for decade’s cotton existed as one of the largest American cash crops -- white buds still bloom for a beautiful American south as money rolls in as a farmers only livelihood during tough economic times. Organic cotton, such as the cotton EcoLand Inc utilizes for its eco-conscious undergarments, is grown the same way as that of organic food crops; without the use of pesticides and chemicals to speed up growth rates and crop yields.
Many, including myself, may be unfamiliar with organic cotton; however it always helps to become educated about new things -- vitally when such product can bring health to you, your family, and your Earth. Conventionally grown cotton crops currently account for more than 25% of chemical insecticide use and an additional 10% of air-born chemical based pesticides known to be cancer causing agents. Embracing an organic grown variety would still yield payment to the farmer and dramatically protect his health and critically the health of his workers that increase their risks of cancer with their exposures to harsh chemicals; such as No-Till, a chemical that can quickly cut the day or two it would take to properly till the land instead chemicals kill the grass and seeds are directly planted upon the “no-till-yes-kill” treatment.
Ecoland Inc provides today’s modern family with quality organic cotton under garments that pose no health risks for the person raising the cotton, working in the cotton, weaving the cotton, and wearing the cotton. Such organic prevents billions of tons of soil from being eroded annually, an eco friendly product that has no hidden costs of dumping harmful toxic waste as that of traditional cotton hides well -- yet the benefits of organic cotton doesn’t end with the Earth having a vital layer of increased and enlarged protection.
With the thermometer pushing above 100 degrees, at 6pm in the southern United States I just received my first organic cotton tank from an authorized and verified organic associated Ecoland. I noticed right away that the organic tank top felt lighter and more delicate in comparison to the A-Frame tank I currently had on at the time. I felt the fabric and noticed it was tag-less, which is a plus for the Earth and also for me. Immediately I pulled off my tank top, of course when I got back interior, and put the Ecoland -- it felt soft against my chest, due to hormonal imbalances, in fact this Woman’s Organic Cotton Tank from Ecoland felt as if I was wearing nothing. While it may be perfect for layering, the tank is spot on for those women who are tired of the heat; I greatly noticed a change immediate. My estimate is that the tank is 95% softer and 95% cooler than typical cotton blend products nearly identical to it. While this is my first experience with cotton that is of an earth friendly organic variety I would most highly recommend organic cotton products and those from Ecoland.

Simple Green has been caught turning skeptics into believers with an extensive product line of “green” household cleaning products that cover all areas of the home; yielding a natural clean without harsh damaging chemicals. Simple Green begin their commitment to be worldwide market leaders of environmentally friendly home domestic products, thirty years ago, such facts are exceptionally impressive when only within the last decade the rush to green began to invade homes and alter the way many choose to live. I am zealously happy to have in my home a complete product line from a prestigious company that cared about their consumer even before mandated by legalities of environmental laws now had today. Failing to stop such care Simple Green continues to strive to create better products backed with such longevity in a story of compassion towards the environment and the customer.
With so many various products on today’s market offering themselves as environmentally friendly, you should know that there are three (3) things to look for when choosing the proper eco-consciousness and “real” environmentally friendly within a cleaning solution -- the Simple Green Corporation has been a leader in all three areas thus showing their commitment to keep the founding promise alive while setting themselves up as true world wide international leaders.
The first and the easiest of the three ‘eco’ requirements is to look for the “Green Seal Certified” label; this mark of environmental is proudly displayed on the front of all Simply Green Products and appears as a green check surrounded by the name of certification. You should know that this seal certifies that the product that you are about to bring into your home has been tested scientifically and has passed creditable, transparent, and essential certification as an environmental standard.
Second, located usually on the back of the product you should learn the product itself and the container that it is in is biodegradable and can be recycled, so not to harm landfills when properly put into a plastic recycling bin this shows that both can be ate by microbes. Such a quick breakdown proves the cleaner Simple Green is good for the environment even when it exits your home, the longer a product takes to be recycled and breakdown in the environment the worst it is for landfills and Mother Earth. Information in regards to this can be found on the website where the bottle clearly states the products come from recycled materials that can also be recycled.
Lastly, the cleaner you are using shouldn’t be toxic to animals nor should such cleaner be toxic to the humans using it. Clearly on the back of Simple Green products you will see that each product is made from 100% naturally sourced ingredients that are safe to and never tested to animals. Never use products that purport themselves as green that is created with petroleum based chemicals and additives, petroleum is nowhere near a renewable as we see in the media; it is also flammable, toxic to both human and animals, and harmful to the environment. Clearly Simple Green is created with natural products that are certified as safe.
I personally have stripped my home of chemical based products, some with compounds linked to cancer; only carrying forth certified cleaners that are verified by science as “real” environmentally friendly substances. I would not use anything in my home other than Simple Green, a product made in The United States of America; nothing would convince me to switch from the since of care and environmental value I obtain from these elite cleaners that do the job right the first time. I encourage you to look into the Simple Greenand for a frugal price invest in just a single bottle of the cleaner, for a room that you feel is the toughest to clean. I have full confidence that you will see just how a delicate cleaner to Mother Earth can be a tough fighter when coupling clean and dirty.This is the perfect product to start an environmental outlook with, use around young children and infants, and use in the same room with animals (including fish and birds). However, again let me stress that you don’t need my two cents as the government and scientist labs have proved Simple Green with their award winning Green Seal.

Today’s parents must be mindful that offering a child food is not a recommended way to sooth a young child; especially when childhood obesity is often in the attention of the media and presidential wife. Attending my nieces birthday party Saturday, I met a precious little girl who was as cute as a button; just turning four (4) she weighed 96.8 pounds. Hormonal, I nearly started to cry as I couldn’t help but feel for this child; who obviously isn’t driving herself to Pizza Hut and “inhale a large pizza” as her ‘so-called’ mother joked -- taking nothing of this child’s health into consideration, but merely thinking it was cute. Obesity is not two pounds over a target number written on some chart, the problem becomes when the child suffers, two pounds may spin out of control in two years or two pounds may lead to two years later the same child being underweight; it all depends and doctors now are far too quick to jump the gun.
Soothing a young child with food then cognitively develops a relationship with food that is equal to calm and relax mindsets when consuming a favorite, it then becomes habit forming, and some even go as far as to say manipulative. In my opinion a child should have a wide variety of diverse associations when coupled with soothing, food shouldn’t be one of those associations as food should only be for the intended use. Most parents are aware that pizza, cake, ice cream, and fast food are by far a pacifier for a toddler or older child in need of soothing; sadly some aren’t, such as my experience detailed above.
Now don’t get me wrong here, there is nothing wrong with soothing a child with a push pop; in moderation and without habit. My point is that a child should start at a young age knowing other positive associations exist than just food. I suppose you could say that I am attempting to make the point that food shouldn’t be left as the only comfort. As any parent or care provider knows a child is going to have negative emotions, look to these as positive and benefiting areas of learning; instead of tantrums and tears. I have taken the liberty to list below some other options that may work for both child and parent, far away from the option of food.
[1] Touch – In my opinion I believe that touch is extremely important as your child needs to know you are there when negative emotions arise; thus making the mental association of parental comfort. Akin to infancy, touch is the best way to soothe your child; as when you do this you are showing the child that he/she is not alone and always supported when negative feelings occur.
[2] Physical Activity – A child loves to be active so it’s a great idea to teach a child the association that being active can be soothing, thus this would be my second recommendation for attempting to reinforce positively while young. For most children allowing them to run and jump can yield a calming effect. As a parent participate in this with your child, create a game, and make this a fun active activity for a better mood that teaches a child that the bad can subside in a very fun way.
[3] Music – My third recommended soothing choice association is the sounds of music, in fact this can be soothing for both child and parent. Usually, since a young child has never heard other music than that of what the parents favorite genera is; it works quite well. Again get involved and create a dance, play a game so to get create an activity for a positive spin on once negative feelings
-Other Options-
Reading to the Child
Activities based on Creativity
Play Dough or Homemade Slime
Personal Calming Space (for older children)
Active talking to the Child
Television/Movies (not my favorite but an option)
Education Activities Turned into Games
Coloring Book, Connect the Dots, or Activity Puzzles
Their Own Time With Parent
Note: The options are endless and vary by child and age, use the instant inside and trust yourself; you will do the right thing for your child regardless the age.
Then sometimes... nothing works but that push pop. try your hand at other options fist...
This morning there is something I need to get off my chest; a comment left to my blog, yesterday, in regards to a tip blog I wrote a while ago -- generalized to assist others who partake or desire to participate in product reviews. This comment deeply offended meand all in all I am a bit speechless. I am not here to point fingers at anyone nor will I, no names will be mentioned; however, I do want to point to what I find deeply offensive. The words of the following:
“I’m not interested in starting a product review blog, but do like to pass quality product reviews to friends/family… I swear they [reviewers] just want free stuff. Come on, you can't love every aspect of every product you review unless you are poor maybe. Then I could see it. Kidding, sort of…”
Excuse me, who the hell do *you* think you are and under what condition do you feel an obligation to leave such a disrespectful, indecent, and judgmental comment on a blog that was written to assist others? I do product reviews associated to professional outlets such as Consumer Reviews as a Consumer Marketing Analyst; however, allow me give to you a dose of reality. These women who you see are mature, business minded, professionals and I will gladly speak up for each of them!
These women have diversified reasons for choosing to review a variety of products, I am extremely sorry that you feel it is because they are poor or desire something for free; such immature judgments towards their character are unwarranted and unjust. In example I started reviewing products, professionally, for business sustainability; fighting the labeling of terminal illness. I have extended myself to review only top quality products that meet specific criteria so to help out other’s who need an honest opinion and additional product detailing. I do not review products, of substandard quality; thus meaning that many items will return a good review.
Again, these are professional women *you* judge incorrectly; I’m extremely sorry that perhaps you have been refused products for your own reviewing; of course you spoke that you had no interest and perhaps you don’t yet psychologically if it doesn’t smell right, it’s usually tarnished. You must be kidding me… Who the hell are you to judge those you do not know, discriminating against a “group” who you label as “poor” due to the fact that they have the professional ability to obtain quality items. These items are not “free” and I do wish to correct you; we give our time to each company to accurately product test their product and write a review (many companies contact us) -- understand each of us have been approved after a interview type process and hired by the marketing department of the company or the owner of such company to provide work for them. Did you not know this…
These women are quality reviewers or they would not be hired due to the extensive process a blogger goes through for approval, if that blogger requests the desire to review a product.
I'm sorry you feel such judgment towards others But who the hell do you think you are judging women I am proud to call friends!
