10 Days of Giveaways keeps chugging along with today’s celebrity fragrance, a tribute to one of my favorite celebs, the very talented Queen Latifah. 🙂 She raps, acts, sings and brought to market a lovely fragrance fit for — you guessed it — a queen.
The prize
One lucky lady will take home a bottle of Queen by Queen Latifah (a $59 value).
With notes of Italian bergamot, mandarin, rose, jasmine and sandalwood, it almost makes me feel like royalty.

Sarah Zimbler says
September 24th, 2009 at 8:52 pmWould love to win this! The bottle is so cute!
P.S. Karen: I have had an amazing love affair with navy blue nail polish recently, but not as great a time getting it off my nails. Do you recommend a nail polish remover that works well with darker nail polish?
Diana Kim says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:12 pmI love Queen Latifah as a Cover Girl spokesperson! Oh, and I remember the old school days of when she was in Living Single. Ah..the 90’s 🙂
Ellie says
September 24th, 2009 at 9:13 pmI think the bottle is adorable too! And bergamot is my favorite!
On a totally unrelated note, I parted my hair on the other side yesterday- and it was AWESOME in a totally unexpected way.
P.S. I’m with Sarah, I’d love any tips on getting dark polish to come off!

September 25th, 2009 at 6:02 amI go through my perfumes unusually fast. I spray some on before school/work and by the time I come home, my sweat has mixed with the smell of perfume and it smells stale so I cycle through like ten perfume bottles every month.

September 25th, 2009 at 3:02 pmHi Karen:
Like your blog very much!
Question 1: What are some safe(not too strong and anoying or offensive) fragrences that 99% of women will like? I have only 4 fragrances that I like, Knowing(esteelauder),Eternity(calvin.K),Jadore, Passion dance for women By Avon discontinues but this is my favorites of all(love to get a subsitute but don’t know how and where?
Question 2: Are high heels safe for Knees in the long run(I am short and little over weight, I look better with heels)?
Question3: Which part of body should we put perfume on, and also is it safe to put perfume on your skin/body or it should only be applied to cloths?
Thanks so much!
Maria

Donna Turner says
May 9th, 2014 at 2:33 pmI have been watching the Queen Latifha Show sense she started. I love to receive Free Stuff and I love to enter any Sweepstakes to receive things. I would like to Win Queen Litefhs’s Fragence Cologne if at all possible. I am a Identical Twin to a girl, and I live in Milwaukee, and she lives in Chicago. We are approaching age 67 this year. I on the other hand is Retired, and she still works. I take of my Significant Other who unfortunately had a Stroke in 2010, and I take care of him. It’s been 4 Years now, and I just want a little Special something for Myself, to maybe smell good after a day’s work taking care of him, when I wind down for the day, or when we have to go out for Doctor’s appointments. That way I can feel very special and smell good too.
