My 'Fricking hell you're hot' fragrances

Ever wonder, when standing in Boots in front of more men's fragrance bottles than you can count, where will I start?? I may be able to give a little helping hand.

Firstly, there is a story behind this one. I was in work in the shop during the weekend, and myself and my friend Alice were having a sneaky chat in the fitting rooms when things had gotten quiet in the evening, and into the fitting rooms comes a lovely young Spanish man, about 25 years old. This man was a normal looking man, just ordinary. But the minute he walked past us, we got this scent of amazing cologne/aftershave. Suddenly, both of our heads were turned, and lovely Spanish man had hiked his sex appeal up a good three knotches.

'Ooooo doesnt he smell amazing!! I said.

Alice then went on to tell me that she loves whatever cologne her boyfriend wears, and suddenly a thought occurred to me; The level of attractiveness of a man to a woman is largely as a result of the way that man smells. So, in short boys, the aftershave/eau de toilette that you choose can decide whether you stay in the mind of the woman you just chatted up at the bar.

This, along with the current stress of Christmas shopping for the other half, brings me to my little study, which I have appropriately named 'My "Fricking Hell You're Hot' Fragances" .

Myself and Alice trotted up to the nearest shopping center today and strutted our stuff into Boots and up to the fragrance wall. We then preceded to sniff and smell dozens and dozens of mens' eau de toilettes in order to find five that the women who read this little blog can get for the man in their life for Christmas (think of it as a present for both of you). We both decided (while trying to de-numb our noses from all the smelling) on these top five fragrances which smell absolutely amazing!! I have included some prices too which are an approximate prices for 50ml bottles which I found on the internet.

1. Givenchy Play  (€45)
2. Hugo Boss; Boss In Motion, White Edition (€52)
3. Poco Rabanne 1 Million (€43)
4. YSL Homme  (€40)
5. Ralph Lauren no.3 (€42 for 70ml)

So, I hope this makes Christmas shopping a little easier, and the new year smell absolutely fabulous! :-)

Christmas Holidays Take Two

Exams finally finished on Monday morning at approx 11.05am, and I wont mention how I think they went cause if I tell a lie it will either jinx them and they will end up bad, or I will tell the truth and I will just look really bad and unstudious (yes I am aware that isnt a word)..... anyway moving on......

I felt completely like I didnt get an xmas holiday this year what with all the silly studying for cruel after-xmas-exams and just general havoc of life, so it was really good to be able to get out to bask in the bliss of the last bit of January sales today. So armed with two friends and a baby (by best mate's beautiful son) we headed off to the nearest shopping centre to raid the place, and I have to say it was raided. I found lovely tops in Bershka and Pull and Bear (on sale of course) and Penneys was sufficiently trawled through and some lovely jewellery was found.

Oh and I forgot how nice it was just to sit for a day and do nothing. Yes I have to admit I would go completely stir crazy if I did it all the time, but I had the chance to do it on Tuesday, ahhhhh, twas lovely :-) A day filled with watching pointless movies and eating jellies was just what I needed. No doubt there will be a few more of those between now and when I go back to college in two weeks (it is good to be a college bum).

Also Im in the process of choosing another recipe for my second attempt at domestic goddessness next week sometime, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

On a slight side note (simply because my life is slightly boring and uneventful at the moment and I am simply too tired to talk about college books for next semester [will be in next blog] or try to think of something else more interesting to say) I just want to point out to anyone who is interested how incredibly annoying those Activia TLC ads are with whats her name, who simply looks too smily to be real, and how amazing "Without A Paddle" is, a great movie for a night when you dont wanna think about anything serious.

That is all.
