    What fragrance do men compliment you on the most?

    Just curious. I find that all my girl friends compliment me on the fragrances that men don't. Men seem to like the more foody ones. So what's your personal experience? What fragrances do men tend to compliment you on and love?

    Hey everyone. I want to get my hair cut, but find that I can never get the cutest styles because my hair is so freaking curly and thick. Here is a picture of what it's like (on a good day at that!). It is a little longer. Any style suggestions? Usually it is a dry, huge frizz fest.

    What's wrong with me?
