In The Beginning
into their culture. The public bath house was a social gathering place and would be visited after the work of the day was completed. It was a place for you to exercise, bathe and socialize. One room in the Roman bath house referred to as the "unctuarium" would be filled with pots and jar of fragrant oils for use by its denizens.

Skin Types and Fragrances

The British once called India a jewel in the crown ... Neela Vermeire has taken this concept forward...

This obsession called 'collecting'.
stalking ground. I do recall, however, having discovered the Ajmal brand a few years ago. I hunted the internet and found one supplier with a small stock 5 hours drive away from where I live. Such is my obsession that I didn't want to wait for him to mail the bottles to me ... I hopped in my car and duly made the 10 hour round trip just so that I didn't have to wait. Crazy, no? Ultimately quite...

Creed Layering - More Than Just a Marketing Gimmick
purity, I felt like I truly "got" the new English royals - their ability to translate the regal into the modern, in a way that their parents' generation could never have even conceived on its own.

Why Trust Matters
nbsp;That they may steal fish. That they may give rotten fish to others, or even catch old tires and call them fish! But we have to TRUST - not only in the individual who has not yet proven untrustworthy - but also in our ability to police things - not merely at the data level, but far better at the algorithm level - the user level.
