This photo was taken at Bath and Body Works at the Grove City Outlets. There's a lot going on in the photo, but I chose it because the day it was taken was a big day for me. The photo makes me happy, because the day was beautiful, fun and full of fun things. My mother took us to the Outlets to do school shopping. I enjoyed it because I like going to school, even though I don't like going back to school. Bath and Body Works is my favorite store in the outlets because I love all the smells and colors. Smells and colors are made by people with a very prestigious profession. They are called perfumers and they use chemistry to make perfumes, lotions, shampoos and body washes. There are two types of perfumes: fine-scented toiletries and functional perfumes (Sullivan 72). Fine fragrances consist of lotions and perfumes, while air fresheners, soaps and shampoos are functional. Perfumers create a perfume formula consisting of approximately 40 to 100 ingredients from natural and manufactured ingredients (Sullivan 73). My favorite smell is freshly picked strawberries. Bath and Body Works makes hand soap and hand sanitizer with this scent. There are over 1,000 to 2,000 different scents that can be used in a perfume, but they can be used in different doses (Sullivan 74). Perfumers must then use these scents to make lotions and perfumes. The ingredients are added to alcohol to make liquid perfumes and to an oily base to make lotions and other cosmetic products (Columbia University Press n.pag). In this image there is a lot going on. In the far left corner of the page, there's a lady trying to get her hands on a bottle of a tropical scented lotion that just so happens to be buy three, get one free. You can say it is tropical scented because...... middle of paper...... choose the right type of perfume, then it will complement your style. Just like if you choose the right type of friend, that friend will complement your traits and make you a better person. Over the years, I have learned this lesson. I know very well that the wrong types of friends will bring you down and cause you to lose your self-esteem. They will use you to feel better about themselves and treat you like you are trash. The truth is, they're not your friends, and the wrong kind of perfume is not your friend because it might make you feel like trash. Although this photo was taken for no reason; I really got a lot out of this photo. It was a great day when it was taken, but I learned more from writing this than I expected. I learned the importance of smelling good and choosing a perfume that suits you..
