(2) New Product Idea for... Perfume

We all know that the best places to spray your fragrance is behind the ears, at the wrist area, some say at the neck.. and so on.

And we all know that it is strongly discouraged to spray fragrance on your clothes. Because as time goes by, it may result in staining of the clothes. Thus people spray them on their skin so that it will last longer and react with the individual's skin to have a unique smell.

But seriously, have we all thought about whether the fragrance is good for the skin? I mean, we spray them on our skin almost everyday, but who knows what ingredients are within that bottle of liquid. Alcohol, fragrance and what else? What chemicals are there that we do not know of that could probably be harmful to our skin after prolonged use? When they sell fragrance, do they tell you that it's ok to spray on the skin?

So here comes my new product idea. Or if this already exists, then it could be a new platform or positioning for fragrances.

We could create a whole new perfume that has beneficial effects on the skin. Like, spraying this fragrance on the skin will give you smoother skin over time and at the same time makes you smell nice!

The perfume could have moisturizing effects on the skin. How cool is that... ;)

So what do you think?

Thank you :) I'm not sure... I never heard of it though. Got the inspiration from my mum cos she always advises me not to spray on my skin since perfume is made up of chemicals...

Tips to a Successful Blog Shop

Recently, or maybe not that recent, I've noticed that there has been an influx of blogshops. For the unsure, blogshops are just like any other shop, selling just about anything, just that it is set up online. Being an avid shopper, as well as one who spends time on the internet often, I have seen myself succumb to buying from blogshops. Many a time, my purchases are sweeeeet! I've not met any dead sellers or had any trouble with getting my items. But don't get me wrong... I still shop at retail shops. In fact, I love both :) Blog shops are fun to scroll through when I just don't have the time to step out (when exams are round the corner). Apart from being a buyer from online shops, I have also tried selling stuff by setting up my own blog shop. It didn't go so well though. Naturally, I prefer buying to selling stuff. Those who buy from blogshops, you may think that it is easy work, but it is a hell lot of work for the sellers. They have to choose the supplies from ...

Do you like Shark's Fin Soup?

There has always been talks about how fishermen leverage on the huge market for the consumption of sharks' fins and throw the dying shark back to the water after snipping off their fins, aka "live-finning". In JC, I've even watched a documentary endorsed by our very own Stephanie Sun (Sun Yan Zi) about the harm that this is causing on those sharks and other marine life. All these news left me a bit apprehensive and I even swore to lay off shark's fin. However, a few years ago, I remember hearing from my mum, after she had read an article on the Straits Times that we can eat shark's fin without guilt . An excerpt below: However, these sensational pictures obscure the fact that many within the industry are against such practices. The vast majority of fins in the market are taken from sharks after their death. This is the preliminary finding of a review made with the assistance of shark experts, fishermen, captains of big fishi...

Localization of Advertisements

We all know that localization is important. Because it will be more relevant to the people looking at the ad. You can even see that from online marketing. For example, I signed up for Yahoo! email using yahoo.com instead of yahoo.com.sg, just because I thought the "sg" didn't look as cool. However, the ads that I got were all related to the US, which I learnt how to ignore in time. The good news it: recently, I was given the choice to change the ads to Singapore based ones, which were definitely better and more interesting. We've also seen the localization of musicals, which I have written about in another blog. The example was a personal experience of mine while watching the musical "We Will Rock You", where parts of the actors' scripts were changed to suit the Singapore culture. Evidence of localization in "We will Rock You" - adapted from pegpeg.wordpress.com 1. When the lead “accidentally” knocked into one of the audience down stage, he sa...
