Most scientists agree that humans process this as a strong, sexual stimulant.

Sometimes it is really the little things that make you feel good, even if you're if you're just wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. The most important "little thing" (actually, it's not at all little) is good personal hygiene. You can be wearing the most gorgeous designer gown in the world, with glamorous jewels, but if your body or your breath smell, you will not make a good impression.


3D has really made a comeback recently, especially in movie theatres (who could resist the 3D images in 'UP!" for example?). Done correctly, 3D images appear to be, literally, bursting out of the frame or screen, directly at you. While this technique works very well for the big screen, can you have the same effect on your computer screen?

*this is my first, if somewhat awkward, attempt at using the Minoru 3D webcam.
Although I've been online more than 1 1/2 decades, I have never owned or used a web cam. I thought it would be a bit of a challenge. I needn't have worried as the unit is fairly "plug and play." For anyone who has used a web cam before, it's a no brainer. It took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to set everything, up, adjust the cameras, and shoot and save a video in both 3D and 2D. I still don't have the picture adjusted completely (as I move my hand towards the camera "eyes" my view is blocked out, so I couldn't quite tell if the image was sharp or not), and I haven't figured out how to compress video (although that's not a function of the Minoru web camera program), but the results are getting better as I practice.
The control panel of the Minoru is rudimentary. That makes it super-easy to use, but doesn't allow for a lot of additional options. You have to go to another place to change some of the options such as moving from 3D to 2D. You get a PDF instruction manual, but I would have wishes for a bit more information to answer all of my "newbie" questions. There is a Minoru Web Site that has some information, downloads, and a few demo videos to get you started. You also get software and a quick set-up guide.
The cost of an average web cam ranges from about $30 to $100. The Minoru 3D web cam is on $99.95, but it does a lot for your money and it is tons of fun! Check it out online at Hammacher Schlemmer.

Jessica Simpson has had her ups and downs when it comes to relationships, but when it comes to business, she's a shining star. Simpson has her name on lots of pretty things like shoes, handbags and fragrance. The Advice Sisters reviewed her fragrance called Fancy, and gave it high marks. Simpson is trying her hand at wooing your senses, again, with Fancy Love. As of now, I'm told it's the #2 at Macy's. Maybe by the time this blog post is published, it will be #1. I wouldn't be at all surprised.
Inside the dreamy, photo sleeve is a very pretty carton of pure white, and embossed with hearts and flourishes. Fancy Love and Simpson's name (plus a tiny, gold butterfly that is supposedly an homage to one of her favorite, vintage perfume bottles) stand out in fancy, gold, metallic script. The bottle itself looks like the original bottle for FANCY, but this time, it's a dreamy, millky white glaze with a matte gold top.
And the scent itself? I don't love every celebrity scent, but honestly, this one is good. It's the type of fragance that makes you feel feminine and special -- a little bit of pampering you can lavish on yourself every day. In times of budgetary strife, feeling good is a must-do. This fragrance delivers a "feel good" whether you're in love, or hoping to be, or just need a pick-me-up. There's nothing sad, bitter or angry about Fancy Love!
