Contrast Essay #2 Paragraph
My mother is slightly over weight, you wouldn't believe it if you watched her run around all day, and watch her work out. but that is the way she was built, and that is why she was always better at certain sports than I was in high school, she did softball, basketball, and field hockey. Then you look at me, a petite, tiny figured lady, with hair down to her butt. I did cheerleading all through high school, along with gymnastics (Talk about both us being over achievers). my mom has always been a workaholic whom can't leave her work at home, and she always comes back to the same type of job she started with, which is working with children and adults with metal disabilities. I can't make up my mind what I want to do with my life, I want to teach, open my own cheer gym, and work in the health field, with a big dose of raising a family in the middle of all that. two people, different goals, still over doing it.
Isearch progress
I haven't done too much on the Isearch. To be perfectly honesty, I have a case of the unmotivated bug. I did however have an appointment with a doctor, not about migraines, but bounced the, what could cause, or trigger a migraine? off the doctor to see if I could get her opinion on it to use in the Isearch. I've also learned of a shot that can be given to stop migraines, but that as well does not always work. So although I haven't been doing too much, book and Internet searching so far, I have been doing personal searching, and getting opinion from others. Hopefully my motivation kicks in to high gear, and get going on this Isearch more then I have going now.
Contrast Intros
My mother and I are certainly two of a kind when it comes to looks, just ask my boyfriend, he always says" you look just like your mother." Mostly he does it to get a kick out of watching me steam every time. But my mother and i looking a like is almost the only thing we have in common. My mother is the classic woman with a tom boy twist, and a big case of working too hard. I on the hand am your typical girly girl, cheerleader, and shopper.
My mother is my rock, she is there during the bad times, and always there to cheer me on during the good times. We are look alike twins, if I didn't have my long hair you would need to do a double take. But my mother and I are not the same other than our looks.you look at her you see your classic tom boy, and you look at me you see a make up loving, shopaholic young woman. There are several differences between us clothing, interests, and jobs.

Classification Essay
A Preteen, Teenager, and a Woman; they are all unique, but a fragrance is unique to a woman, its more the fragrance picks the woman, conforming to a woman's scent. I always know how to spot a person that I know is looking for a fragrance, They pick up one spray, wafting, pick up another bottle, stop and repeat. But finding that right fragrance for every person is a challenge, there is always three differences between scents. Fresh, Floral, and Warm. There are also certain selling points any beauty adviser must ask when showing, and selling a fragrance. First, you look for the signals that the client is interested in a perfume, and not just strolling by the counter and taking a sniff before they head on their merry way. I ask "Hi, How are you? I see you are looking at Lancome's premiere fragrances, what is your ideal scent?" "Fresh, Floral, or Warm."
Now a days the search begins in middle school, when wearing a fragrance becomes more common. You start out liking fresh scents, your nose not yet developed for stronger smells. You try body sprays (Ralph Lauren Polo 1-4), scented lotions Justin Bieber, Viva La Juicy. During my middle school days I always liked the sweet scents from Bath and Body Works: Cucumber Melon, and Warm Vanilla Sugar. Still all fresh scents, in the category of fruity, sweet, with a hint of floral. Soon, I bought my first real perfume, Curious by Britney Spears, a sweet, bright scent. Over time my love of perfume is not limited to one perfume at a time, as I soon became addicted to the beautiful, fruit scents, I need more when ever I went to the store. To satisfy my palette I would purchase the perfumes, try them out, and if I decided I didn't like them, I started giving them as gifts, only to realize that buying and giving perfumes don't always go hand in hand buying perfume is a very personal purchase.
A scent reflects who you are, how you want people to see you. Are you a Chanel Chance Eau De Parfum? A floral fragrance, with beautiful hints of grapefruit and quince(An Innocent fragrance, surround by intoxicating notes.) as Sephora says. Maybe you are Versace Yellow Diamond, A warm floral fragrance, with a hint of vanilla,(glamorous, and chic). Every thing a teenager wants to wear around high school, attracting the opposite sex with a light floral scent. Maybe you are a Miss Dior Cherie, a favorite scent of mine, but not every person can wear it. A spicy floral blend of mandarin, caramel, patchouli, chic and youthful.
Each of my perfumes reflects me. Right now working at Lancome, and knowing that I am growing into a more mature woman, my scents are more towards the Warm side now. Sometimes layering a Warm fragrance, with another light, warm fragrance, putting a Body by Burberry lotion to bring out the spicy patchouli side, and mixing my new counter perfume La Vie Belle, with the bottom notes of vanilla, cedar wood, and musk, basically creating a new perfume, while other days I like to wear the pure perfume, which has always been a favorite on the counter for years Tresor, a Vanilla and Patchouli Fragrance. My fragrance usually reflects How i am feeling that day, and what mood I am in. I have serious scents and fun scents, intriguing scents and simpler scents. After all, Working at a make up counter always has the best perks, you get to learn, play, and find what works for you.
Younger generations, older generations, they each have their own scents, the fruity smells, the floral smells, to the warm smells. Could be Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, or Taylor swift, Opium, Hypnose, Miracle, O De Lancome. Just because I tend to move towards the Warm scents, rather than YSL, Versace, or Chanel which are all along the lines of Floral scents doesn't mean my next customer will like the same thing. Every smell is different, every pallet is unique. It is all about your choice, and Chemistry with the fragrance, almost like the chemistry you need with your partner, your fragrance is your new partner.

Reaction to Cause Essay Comments
This Essay became more difficult for me than I think it should have been. That is what happens when I start writing and i let my mind run free with ideas. My sentences just start making no sense, which is where you saw paragraphs 4 and 5 get all boggled into a ball. I think my head was in the right place but with distractions around me, I would focus one second, and less lose all thought the next. I'm glad i picked that topic, and that I was able to sort of get my point across to you, and hopefully the rewrite is a little better to understand.
