Baby Phat Golden Goddess Perfume by Kimora Lee Simmons Review

A little while ago, I decided to spoil myself and bought a 3.4 FL OZ bottle of perfume called Baby Phat Golden Goddess By Kimora Lee Simmons . I believe I bought it because I wanted to reward myself for maintaining a GPA of A- in university.

First off, I bought it because I think that the bottle looks pretty. Second, I liked the smell from the moment I first tried it using the tester, which was in the store. It’s sweet but not too sweet, in addition to not being too intense.

I think that this fragrance has just the right amount of intensity so that one or two sprays is enough to make you smell great without overwhelming the people around you. The bottle also lasted me a pretty long time, especially given the fact that I used it every day.

Overall, I would rate this fragrance a 5/5 and will definitely be buying another bottle. I recommend that you try it for yourself or buy one for your female friend or family member.
You can buy your own bottle here, which will most likely be cheaper than what I paid for mine, since I bought it at the store.




P.S. If you buy a bottle using this link (if you’re in the USA) and this link (if you’re in Canada), you will be helping me keep this site going, so that I can continue to improve it for my readers.

Also, please note that I didn’t take the photo of the bottle, I found this image on the Internet.

Expressing Powerful Looks in High Demand

Fashion design and men are a “style forecast” that can correspond or totally miss the target. Visionary fashion that meets eye-to-eye with made-to-order style for every passing season usually grips the mind and interests of the male ego. Since the beginning of the most epic and influential hip-hop celebrities, fashion has been changing and evolving on new, multi-dimensional levels. Iconic and popular pendants are taking center stage and embellishing-out the “golden standard of bling” that belonged there!

So far, fashion has been keeping up with the range of creativity that is pivotal for essential, hand-made works of style. Fashion and iconic class, along with this newer more symbolic inventory, now supplies the heart to express every kind of symbol that corresponds to the phrase, “keeping it real.” Status symbols of “Bling-Bling” and “Cadillac-Pride,” are outward expressions dedicated to men looking their best at prices beyond average. However, fashion is now taking new effect in reinventing and recreating what is inside hearts and minds.

The new look for men relates to the mentality of masculinity of signature wooden pendants representing social structures and beliefs “played-out” in the lives of modern, sophisticated, men. Fashion jewelry that has pinned-down what it means for men to look effortlessly “chic,” and hold on to meaning in life is the new “black!” The pendants can be emblems of status or inner-courage, worked-out by hand to offer a lasting symbol of love and reflection.

Who wouldn’t love the luxury of casual style hand-beaded for the heart of life that beams within the inner-man and his fashion-set mentality? These quality necklaces can become an effortless way to structure a wardrobe of urban and conventional class that trigger influential style for the majority of individuals who honor “intrinsic fashion” that turns’ itself inside-out! Whether you wear your fashion necklace locs with a functional wardrobe or something new and enduring; hand-beaded pendants naturally made can cause an iconic rebirth of casual style that is young, fresh and contemporary! Worn with hooded jerseys or ripped jeans and dark sunglasses, any urbanite will enjoy these exciting pieces of craftsmanship that take a first class seat to all of the rest this season!

Professions that involve risk often require commitment of the mind and body. Having been in the army for three years I know I cannot have equipment or gear I cannot fully rely on.

Police Uniform Shirts

It’s important that police officers have all the necessary equipment to do their jobs properly. And while most people may think of equipment like ballistic vests or firearms, the clothes that officers wear to get their jobs done is no less important. In fact, it may be even more important, since the main way you identify a police officer is by his or her uniform. That’s why all great police uniform shirts need to strictly abide by the NFPA 1994 requirements, and all of the updates that have been added to them since.

What Are NFPA Requirements?

These requirements, which have been regularly updated as a standard, list out the rules and regulations regarding the uniforms worn when responding to terrorism. This includes protection from chemical and biological agents, as well as more traditional forms of attack. While it would seem that these standards focus more on equipment like gas masks, full body chemical suits or ballistic vests, even the standard issue shirt is not exempt from scrutiny. And to make sure that officers are following all the rules, it’s important to buy shirts that meet all of the requirements listed.

Modern Materials, Up To Date Rules

When uniform requirements are shifted for police officers, it’s always done for a reason. And much like the armed forces, these rules have to be applied uniformly across departments in order to make sure that they have the necessary and desired effect. And for officers to make sure they’re properly following the requirements, they also have to go to reliable merchants that are equally familiar with these rules and regulations.

These regulations can have multiple, positive impacts. They promote uniformity and protective standards, which is important. They also make certain that old, outdated materials and equipment are not being relied upon to keep officers safe in a pinch. When your life can depend on the equipment you’re wearing, from the weave of your ballistic vest down to the material of your work shirt, it’s important that you buy in accordance with the standards that have been put forth for you, your fellow officers and all other police in the country.

Beach Weddings Disadvantages

We all know that beach weddings, just like beach wedding venues, are extremely popular nowadays and one of the reasons for that is that planning and making such kind if wedding costs less money in comparison with a traditional one. Surely, it makes a beach wedding a very attractive and great option, especially if your budget is limited. One more thing is that such event can be less formal and if you have got such friends who don’t like formal clothes, they will be happy to attend your wedding. There will always be some guests who would love a less formal event and in such a case, a beach wedding will be a brilliant option.

Now you know, that there are more than enough advantages of making a beach wedding. Yet, there are also some disadvantages, and following they can be found.
The first problem that comes to beach weddings is the weather. Actually, weather will influence outdoor weddings anyway and in this regard, you have to consider it carefully. Certainly, there will be absolutely no problem if the day is sunny but who can guarantee this? It can occur that there will be a heavy rain all your wedding day long. Of course, this will significantly affect all your plans.

Thus, couples should consider what to do in such case. For example, you can find a venue which will provide an indoor space as well. But the rain is not the only thing that may occur, as it can be also windy can also affect your wedding planning. It can be very windy on the beach and it can blow the sand on the beach which can cover the food and also affect the photographer because sand is camera’s worst enemy.
Therefore, you will need to cover the food really well in order to protect it from wind and bugs before being serving to the guests. Besides, advise your photographer to take precautions against the issues of sand. This advice will help make absolutely sure that there will be no problem about your wedding photos.
You see, safety issue is the greatest disadvantage about beach weddings. Thus, you will have to think that the beach will can become dangerous for the older couples to walk on the beach and you will need to take extra measures to ensure that there will not be any danger.
But although there are some disadvantages and weak points of beach weddings, people still love them, make and attend them, so if you think, that’s a perfect option for you, then here you go and have fun!

The Beauty, Usefulness, and Versatility of Trainers

Why is a trainer a great shoe for the whole family?


When you’re on your feet all day being a busy mum, you just want to wear something you can be comfortable in. That’s why trainers are such a popular choice for many mums on the go. But you don’t want anything too flashy, for instance the bright coloured high-top trainers popular with the kids are a bit much, aren’t they. However, a classic white or light trainer with simple style and design is perfect for giving support and being kind to your feet. They also look great with jeans and other casual clothes.

Why are trainers so popular?


The beauty of trainers is that they are so versatile. Originally used for sports training, as the name suggests, it was in the 1960s that young hipsters started wearing them for everyday use. It just seemed to make good sense. They were comfortable and a far cry from the stuffy, solid and boring shoes people had to wear before then. Trainers were convenient, comfortable, relaxed and the best part was that you didn’t even have to polish them.

Even today, if your trainers get a little bit dirty you can just stick them in the washing machine and they come out as good as new. The same rules apply for all your kids’ shoes too, which saves lots of time which would otherwise have been spent cleaning. Trainers are also great for kids because they are durable and easily replaced. With lots of trainers available at great places online, you can pick up the perfect shoes for your family at really great prices.

It’s all in the design

Reebok trainers are always popular with mums and kids alike because they make really stylish shoes. The Reebok Classic trainer has always been a popular choice because of its simple running shoe design. But there are many different brands on the trainer market. Whatever style or colour you like, you can find several different types to suit your tastes.

Of course, trainers are also essential for exercising. Whether you’re hitting the gym or pounding the pavement, you need a strong pair of trainers for maximum support. Go for running shoes or cross trainers for use in the gym. It might also be a good idea to get an air freshener as for all their greatness; trainers do tend to trap odours!
