Scent-a-licious for Summer

Ever wonder about the popularity of the hundreds of scents out there? The best-selling perfume of all time is Chanel #5. Another one of the perennial bestsellers is Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. Ralph Lauren's True Romance is near the top of the list, too!

Are you looking to add to your perfume collection with a new scent for summer? Here are some of the newest perfumes out for 2009:

Chanel Cristalle Eau Verte

Calvin Klein CK IN2U Heat

Carolina Herrera 212 On Ice 2009

Bill Blass Couture 8

Anna Sui Live Your Dream

Bonus tip: Want to make fragrance last without fumigating everyone on the elevator? Spray perfume on the back of your wrists, knees & neck. And never rub, because rubbing crushes the molecules of the fragrance & ruins the scent. Some people only spritz the inner elbows & behind the knees. Why? The fragrance stays a little moist & fragrance works best just a little bit humid.

Yay for Yogurt

Women who had two servings of yogurt daily were 45 percent less likely to develop bladder cancer than those who did not, research in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition finds. Yogurt's lactic acid bacteria may be the disease-fighting component. Look for a low-fat fave that contains live cultures to stay well.

Don't love dishing up yogurt? Here is a yummy smoothie that you can make using yogurt:

You'll need: 1 quart (4 cups) ripe strawberries, 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt, 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, and 1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste.

Garnish (optional): 4 small strawberries with leaves and 4 thin round slices of unpeeled orange.

What to do: 1. Rinse and drain the strawberries and place them in a food processor or blender. Add the yogurt, orange juice, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Process on the highest speed until a well-blended puree forms, about 15 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container once or twice. Taste the mixture and sweeten with a little more sugar, if you wish.

2. For a very smooth beverage, strain the mixture, using a wooden spoon to push the drink through. Discard the strawberry seeds. Pour into 4 tall glasses and serve immediately. If you wish to decorate the drinks, slit the strawberries and the orange slices halfway through the centers. Attach one berry and one orange slice to the rim of each glass. Mmmm, refreshing and healthy!

Until next month,
