Shortly after the start of the pandemic when everything and everyone was on lockdown the most surprising thing happened-sales increased.
Quite a shocker that one could not make sense of. Then we figured it out after watching a few influencer videos on Instagram where one influencer stated that they would much rather try out different fragrances than watch the depressing news with all the reported coronavirus deaths. It made total sense.
It goes without saying that a lot of people were depressed during that time and as a way to escape that depression for some it was by smelling a nice fragrance and wearing it even when they weren’t going out.
We’re still in the pandemic though not as stringent as when it first started out and other world events have happened that’s still causing a lot of stress on people.
So maybe trying out a new fragrance might do the trick in helping you to cope with the stress you might be feeling.

Know Her Taste
Perfumes are often marketed according to women's distinctive tastes, which are not always easy to determine since one fragrance doesn't suit all. However, most perfumers have fragrance lines that can easily identify with most women's style and taste.
There is one way to work out the best perfumes that suit a woman's taste since taste varies from person to person.
All you have to do is answer a few questions:
Is the lady you are buying the fragrance for on the classy side? Is she sporty or goofy? Is she flirty or serious?
Understand Her Body Chemistry
Perfume reacts differently with different people depending on their biological makeup. Fair or dark in complexion, what they eat or drink. If the person smokes, drinks a lot of alcohol or coffee. All these can affect how a particular perfume would smell on them. So, you need to know your partner well to know which scent suits her best.
Don't Buy Low-Quality Perfumes.
You don't want to risk giving her a cheap and low-quality perfume. Anything of such might suggest that you are not classy.
As with purses, you'll often see perfume sellers lined up on the streets with bottles of brand perfumes at a high discount- avoid anything sold on the streets.
Aside from what she might think of you, low-quality fragrances can contain some nasty and unsafe ingredients with a smell that doesn't last and which contains hazardous ingredients.
Consider Her Interests and Activities
There are varieties of perfumes in numerous fragrance groups and classifications to appeal to any preference and occasion. Perfume makers consider women's culture, activities, and interests when creating fragrances.
Ask yourself; Is the woman you are buying the perfume for the laid-back type or the active, outgoing type?
Buying a woman's perfume doesn't need to be a stressful experience. Consider the points mentioned and save yourself a whole load of hassle.

Since the start of the pandemic there has been a shortage of hand sanitizers with more companies jumping on board to make it. But with this comes an added risk-dangerous ingredients being used such as methanol, which is essentially wood alcohol that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin and potentially deadly if ingested.
You're probably now seeing a lot of off brands hand sanitizers in supermarkets and consumers should be wary as sometimes the label doesn't even list what is included.
Some manufacturers that use the recommended ethyl or isopropyl alcohol does not use the recommended amount of at least 60% alcohol in order for it to be effective.
When GoQualica was being formed several years ago before the pandemic hit, one of the products on our business plan that we would make is hand sanitizer and staying true to our philosophy of using nothing but the purest organic ingredients.
However, when we set out to make it we ran into shortages of aloe vera gel because everyone and their mama was jumping on the band wagon to make hand sanitizers.
We were finally able to secure a supplier that has it and is 100% cold pressed with no added harmful chemicals, added color or fragrance.
We also use 100% pure ethyl alcohol and it makes up 70% of the alcohol content of the hand sanitizer.
All the ingredients used are listed on the bottle and nothing is hidden.
Everything is pure and organic and nothing in it is dangerous, so you will never see GoQualica's name on the list of hand sanitizers to avoid by the FDA.

Sun exposure can damage your skin as well as eyes and can cause wrinkles.
The important thing is to hydrate yourself for healthy skin. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water in a day. If it is not possible to drink much water in a day, then you have to eat also fruits and vegetables that also have water content. It would help if you ate strawberries, watermelon, grapefruit, orange, and cucumber. Drinking enough water can help to get a stunning look. Don’t skip out on hydrating yourself, as it’s an essential factor to get glowing and shiny skin.

Here are some foods that are best for your skin and overall health, Broccoli, Citrus Fruits, Tomatoes, Sunflower seeds, Walnuts, Avocados. For better health and skin, nutrition is essential. What you eat directly affects the aging of your skin and your overall health.
To remove dead cells from the skin is called exfoliation. Another key factor to getting good looking skin is exfoliation. Our skin naturally removes dead skin cells. Every 30 days our skin get new cells, and sometimes dead skin cells don’t detach completely; therefore, your skin becomes dry and get flaky patches. Exfoliation can help to remove dead cells, and after this process, you can get a glowing and clean looking skin.
You should sleep at least 6 to 8 hours a day. If you don’t do that, your skin gets tired just like you. It’s a dream of every woman to get glowing skin. If you don’t sleep well, you can get eye bags, wrinkles, and dull skin.

Cleansing is vital for more youthful skin. In a circular motion, massage your face. Deep cleansing every night can also help to get a glowing look. Remove your makeup before going to bed.
For better skincare, using Aloe Vera is excellent. When you apply Aloe Vera gel on your face, it can help to remove dark circles, acne, and dead skin and also reduce irritation and dryness on your skin.
Try to avoid hot showers that can cause dry skin. A cold shower can tighten your skin, improve your mental health, and improve your hair. When you take a warm bath, it can dehydrate your skin, and your complexion becomes dull.

]]>Ever since the onset of recorded history, humans have tried to cover or improve their body odor with the aid of perfumes, which imitates nature's nice smells. Several natural and anthropogenic materials have been utilized to manufacture perfume. Due to the fact that body chemistry, temperature, and body scent differs, no perfume will smell the same on two Individuals. One of the perfumes people adopt; men especially is the Cologne. This perfume has its origin from Germany.
Eau de Cologne, also known as Cologne, consists of an oil proportion of around 2 to 4 percent. The term cologne is often used for gentle and cool masculine scents, which are always musky or fruity, and normally last for some hours. During the prime hour, the center notes that are the core of the fragrance takes effect; while during the second hour, the base notes that consist of a fragrance's body assumes control. This phenomenon is known as the dry-down time, and it is when the chemistry of your body mix with durable fixative to yield the real or ultimate scent.
In modern American English usage, the word cologne is often associated with perfumes marketed for men. It may also indicate a less concentrated and cheap form of a common perfume.
The strength of a cologne
The strength of a cologne ascertains how far of a distant the scent can travel. A stronger cologne like Fifth Sense is capable of traveling a far distance and can be perceived several steps afar. Milder colognes, on the other hand, can only be noticed when you embrace the wearer.
High quality vs. low-quality Colognes
Regarding colognes, strong isn't always better than mild. Anything that you can perceive a few steps away is effective. Ensure that you apply with discretion when making use of a strong smell. With a strong mix, a few dabs can perform wonders. The durability, distinctiveness of the cologne are crucial for several glaring reasons; if you step out and people can't notice your presence via the cologne you wear, then what's the point of wearing one?
Winter colognes are known to boast of more longevity compared to summer colognes. The milder citrusy/aquatic notes of a summer cologne are known to disappear within a few hours (around 4-5) of usage. A good summer cologne is long-lasting, it is capable of lasting for about 5-7 hours. For the winter cologne, these colognes boasts of more stronger base notes that are long-lasting. A good winter cologne will last for around 10 hours, minimum.
If you wish to buy a certain cologne, spray some on your wrist and wear for a day or two to determine how long it lasts. Do not spray it on a piece of paper, because it will only display the top notes and this is a negative sign of how well it will interact with the oils present on your body.

A recent article in Scientific American stated:
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) reports that, while many popular perfumes, colognes and body sprays contain trace amounts of natural essences, they also typically contain a dozen or more potentially hazardous synthetic chemicals, some of which are derived from petroleum.
That’s right! Many of the most popular fragrances on the market contain chemicals that can hazardous to your health.
Want to find out exactly what’s in these popular fragrances? You can forget that, because a number of companies are allowed to keep hidden many of the ingredients they use, primarily for the purpose of maintaining their “trade secrets.”
The good news is that there are several companies making fragrances that significantly better for you. They contain all-natural plant extracts, have a light touch and are not at all overpowering to one’s sense of smell. A fragrance such as Summer Days is light but very effective. It’s pleasant and attracts attention, but is also soothing to the senses,
Every user of perfume or cologne should know exactly what ingredients are being used in the fragrance before you apply it to your neck or wrists. After all, it’s your health – and everyone’s nose - that’s at stake.

The part of the documentary that really got my attention wat the claim that some of the same ingredients used in the most popular fragrance on the market are the same ones used in a toilet bowl cleaners.
“Holy Cow,” I thought. “If only people knew!”
A lot of the fragrances being manufactured and sold today, especially by the top brands, use mostly chemicals because they are easier and less expensive to get. Not only are these chemicals found in toilet bowl cleaners, they are also found in roach spray. Would you spray your neck or wrists with roach spray? I didn’t think so.
Thank goodness there are alternatives to toilet bowl cleaner and roach spray as perfumes. When I started GoQualica, I made a vow to use nothing but real ingredients in all products. Every perfume and cologne we make contains nothing but real plant extracts that have been grown organically or wildcrafted. Even the alcohol we use is 100% organic cane alcohol. For example Repeated Love is created from 100% certified organic notes of Frankincense, Myrrh and Sandalwood which combine for a one of a kind scent you simply won’t find anywhere else..
If people only knew the harm that they are doing to themselves and to the environment, they would stop spraying themselves with toilet bowl and cleaner roach spray.
