Some would be content with just one successful career. Others (myself included) let the type “A” part our brain rule. Enter Ashley Peldon – actor, director, producer, entrepreneur – and all before she turns thirty. Some “stars” use their celebrity strictly for monetary purposes and ethics and commitment be damned.<\/p>\n

Not so for Ashley Peldon and her sister Courtney. Started in 2006, Starring…! Fragrances<\/a> is a cosmetics company with a difference. It combines “the allure of Hollywood glamor with their commitment to health and wellness.” Starring…! products are hand crafted and are a collection of natural, organic, environmentally friendly and paraben free perfumes, body scrubs and 100% soy wax melts. Their lineup includes everything from “playful, dessert-inspired scents to sexy, attention-grabbing florals.” Many are biodegradable, hypo-allergenic, 100% free of genetic modification and contain no lead, petroleum, chemical\/synthetic fixative, or animal products\/by-products.<\/p>\n

Being a chef I know that smell, memory and taste are forever linked. I am one of those culinarians that can imagine and visualize tastes and smells in my minds eye. That’s why names like Tempt me Chocolate<\/em>, Trip to Pear-adise<\/em>, Pink Marshmallow<\/em>, Brulee On My Mind<\/em>, and the“Bake-Off” Collection<\/em> of soy wax melts are so intriguing. Not to mention fragrances that include Blonde Bombshell<\/em>, Femme Fatale<\/em>, and Triple Threat<\/em>. Combining seduction and food is a guys dream. Just ask the “fornicating gourmet”<\/a> George from Seinfeld.<\/p>\n

These products are delicious. From a man’s point of view, we want a scent on a woman that gives us an experience that is something special and new yet familiar and comforting. Men are a contradiction you know. For a woman, hopefully the scent will make her feel confident and empowered. Starring…! IS all that and more.<\/p>\n

The problem, the selection is actually too diverse, fun, exotic and unique. Add a custom blend service and a men’s Power Players Collection for me and the real question is how can anyone choose. This is a problem that all entrepreneurs wished they had.<\/p>\n

The Starring…! collection is available at www.starringfragrances.com<\/a> and select Whole Food Markets and boutiques.<\/p>\n
