Afternoon Pick Me Up

Ever start getting those after lunch blues? You know the boredom and exhaustion that can sneak up on you around two or three and all you really want is a coffee or a cola or a piece of chocolate. All those wonderful things that we know aren't really good for us and we know if we could just by-pass them in the afternoon we'd feel better after our workout. Heck, maybe we would even go workout! Well those mid-afternoon dole-drums are a great excuse to try out a new fragrance. Spritzing a dab of perfume is a great and instant afternoon pick-me-up and doesn't harm the waistline or the endorphins. In fact it's good for both. Don't have time to visit the department store counter for a quick spray? Visit some other time when you have time and ask for samples of whatever is new. Stash them in your handbag or a desk drawer and when you feel those lids begin to close, dash a bit on your wrists and neck. Be certain to waft a little under your nose.

Balmain has a delicious new fragrance out with scents of ambergris, tuberose and myrrh.

So go take a whiff or two of something new. Not only will it perk you up, but you may just go home with a favorite new signature fragrance.
