1.)Take Care of Personal Physical Hygiene

"Shower daily and make sure you thoroughly wash and dry your armpits and groin area. If you have an increase in physical activity of any type that makes you sweat more than usual, shower again before the end of the day. Wear clean clothes and undergarments because dirty or soiled clothes can harbor odors and bacteria.
Apply deodorant after showering to curb sweating and keep underarm odors away."

2.) Good Oral Hygiene   

Nothing can be more of a distraction than bad breath! You can offend others and you certainly won't feel at your best when people are avoiding you.  A few simple steps- Brush and floss regularly, and keep regular dentist appointments for cleanings and checkups!                                     

3.) Good vaginal Health-

"A woman’s vaginal area requires attention daily in order to stay healthy and keep odors away. The monthly menstrual cycle can bring about an increase in vaginal flow including bleeding. The vaginal area  should be kept clean to prevent infection. This means regularly changing your sanitary pad or tampons to stay fresh.

Other common issues
in females include yeast infections, urinary tract infections and bacterial
infection or bacterial vaginosis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
says bacterial vaginosis can be prevented by frequent cleaning of the vaginal
area and reducing the amount of sex partners you have. Most female vaginal
infections can cause some or all of the following symptoms: a fish odor, a
buildup of yeast in and around the vagina, itching, burning and pain when
urinating. A physician can make an accurate diagnosis and will likely prescribe
a medicated cream and antibiotic to help fight off bacteria and infection."

 

When you feel, smell, and look good it's easier to feel better about yourself and like who you are. In addition, to feeling fresh, you will find that you attract more people which will also boost your confidence level!  

This week's fragrance of the week is: Victoria Secret's Bombshell Perfume

This has a nice feminine scent that stays with you all day. The perfume comes in a cute pink bottle and you can find the mini size usually for just 10 bucks!
