Smell good. Feel good.

I recently read an article on some of the best ways to smell good all day long, including some simple things that I have never even thought of.

#1The obvious one. Perfume. 

This may seem like the most obvious thing in the world, but there is more to it. If you want to be recognised as having a certain smell, find a perfume that you adore and stick to it. It then becomes your signature scent. A perfect example of this world be the queen of beauty herself, Marilyn Monroe.

Her signature scent was Chanel No 5 and everyone knew it. But finding this, is easier said than done. I am still trying to find mind after about 7 years but I have a collection of favourites that I keep re-purchasing, that way I can mix it up. A different scent for a different occasion. 

Another perfume tip is to keep an oil version of your perfume handy with you or just using an oil perfume alone. These perfumes last longer due to the particles being more dense, you could apply this later on throughout the day, making you smell gorgeous 24 hours a day. 

P.S - don't rub spray perfume in as it crushes the top notes, leaving with just the medium and bottom notes, meaning is will last less time and won't smell quite the the same. 

#2 deodorant. Duh. 

Again, stating the obvious, but, as I have found from personal experience, it isn't a case if just picking up the first one you see. The way I see it, or smell it (sorry), it is the same as perfume in the way that you have to find a scent that works for you.

I have bought deodorants before that are to overpowering or I just plain don't like the smell so try a couple out or, if you can, smell them first before you buy, and make sure that it is invisible  so it won't leave any nasty white marks on your clothes. 24 hour protection is also a bonus. 

#3 shampoo 

This may seem like a weird one to add in but there is such a thing a smelly hair.

I'm not saying wash your hair everyday because this can make your hair dependant on it and it can become greasy between washes more regularly. Washing it every other day, or even every 2 days depending on your hair type, is perfect and keep your hair smelling good. If you are conscious about your 'hair scent' there is such a thing as perfumed hairsprays,

basically perfume for your hair ,but the good thing about these is that they are not overpowering so you won't be overwhelmed by the smell all day. They are pretty subtle.

#4 Nails? 

If you like to wear nail polish, be it on your fingernails or your toe nails, you will know that is had quite a potent smell, fumigating you might say, especially to men I might add. So a brilliant solution to this would be scented nail polish. A lovely smelling one that has good has a good coverage and colour selection is the Revlon scented range. 

Well that's pretty much the best ones I came across. Hope this helped.
