Making Scents

This article is about a lady named Hannah Follis and her job making scented candles and perfumes on her job. This lady majored in biology and minored in chemistry then saw an add and was about making perfumes and scented candles so she tried it out and she pretty much loves her job. Follis says that you need to know chemistry really well in order to get the feel for this job. She also says that the process in making it will need oils from certain plants and even vegetables, I think that’s pretty weird to use vegetables to make a scented candle or a perfume but I think that sounds cool to see somebody extract oils from it and I didn’t even know that some vegetables could give off oils. Some candles come to be by the marketers find that there is a demand for a certain candle scent that’s when the illume research and development team makes that certain scent become a reality.

To make these scents they also use fruits bark leaves flowers and vegetables as said earlier and they mix them with other chemicals to make that fragrance. The perfumer also needs to be creative in making those new scents for the market and economy. Some fragrances also have different colors because they will use different formulas to it

Picture Power

This article I read was about how to make and use a collage everyday to help you get to a certain job you want in the future. Like say you want to work in business than make a collage and cut up things that could help you along the way or things that have to do with the certain job you want and get a blank poster board or a blank card board and paste the stuff you cut out from a magazine or a news article and paste those things onto the poster board.

The next thing you could do is put the poster board full of things and post it on your wall or a wall near you when you lie on your bed and look at it before you go to sleep, so you can dream about those things and actually feel like you’re experiencing that job and feeling what its like, then try that a few times just to feel what it feels like. The next thing you could probly do is try the job and see for your self and if you don’t like it and see a different job you may like then make another collage and use that the same way you made it but with different pictures and use that the same way you used the last collage

Risky Business

This article was about staying away from things that may hurt you during a job or that hurt you already and how to prevent those things from happening. This article talks about working in different jobs and to stay safe, like say you’re working at a restaurant and there is a wet floor, you should buy non slip shoes so you will not slip and fall. Another job is working at a retail store or something like that. When you work at those types of jobs you should be extra careful because of robberies. Say somebody robs the store while you’re on register then you hand them whatever you want like the money in the cash register or just let them take whatever and don’t try to follow them to wherever they are trying to go because nothing in a store is worth risking you’re life for.

Another job to be careful with are any outdoor jobs like working as a lifeguard but you probly want to be careful cause of communicable diseases, sunburn and heat exhaustion and dehydration cause sitting in the sun will do those things to you so you might want to put on some sun tan and drink lots of water you might want to check with your shots and see if your updated on them and watch out for any mosquitoes or ticks they also cause diseases.
