Valentine’s Day has come again, and now is the time to make it one to remember. Elizabeth Arden worked with Mariah Carey to create a fragrance that can live up to even your wildest dreams. If you’re going for “happily ever after” this year, then this scent is for you.
The multi-award winning artist wanted to put together a classic, captivating, and sexy scent, and she delivers with Dreams. She invites you to celebrate life and its many stages along the way and reminds you to cherish its most intimate moments.

There’s also a drop of honeysuckle intertwined with inviting freesia and a small undertone of lily of the valley that gives it a feminine touch. The last few ingredients are a blend of warm patchouli, Tonka bean, and Madagascar vanilla grounds. Yum!

Celebrity men aren’t the only ones who go after what’s young and hot in Hollywood. Sexy celeb women have helped get the term “cougar” published in the dictionary in it’s slang term — and with all of these women dating much younger, we’re surprised it hasn’t happened sooner!

If there is one thing celebrities have in common with those of us who spend our lives out of the spotlight and away from the paparazzi flashes, it’s giving back. As a nation, and as individual people, we all have the ability to raise our country’s standards through strengthening the educational system, empowering youth, women, the homeless and the disabled, raising money for disaster relief, sustaining the environment and so much more.

Mariah Carey is, without a doubt, one of the biggest pop stars of the past two decades. The songstress and actress has redefined what it means to be a diva, and now, she wants to share her dreams with her fans. Carey’s newest fragrance, Mariah Carey Dreams, reflects the goals she’s fulfilled in her career: she’s the best-selling female artist of all time with 18 number one hits and over 200 million records sold worldwide, she’s won multiple Grammy awards, along with being a wonderful wife and a mother.
Dreams is an exhilarating perfume that celebrates the intimate moments in life that help you achieve your dreams. With aromas of warm patchouli, Tonka bean, and Madagascar vanilla to form the fragrance’s base, Carey tops off her creation with hints of honeysuckle, freesia, lily of the valley, salted caramel apple, star anise, bergamot, and toasted almonds. This combination creates a scent that’s entrancing and delicious — almost dreamlike.
Plus, Carey takes her creative process one step further by designing the bottle to represent a champagne flute, with its curves and slim packaging. Its decorative butterflies — a symbol so very often associated with the singer/songwriter — wrap around the bottle to represent what matters most to Carey.

The decision to have sex isn’t one that should be taken lightly, but it’s a personal choice. You may choose to wait until the love of your life comes along or you may not (just make sure you’re always safe). In Hollywood, many celebrities are quick to hop into bed with the next star they see standing next to them on the red carpet, but this isn’t true for every person who has the spotlight shining down on them. Some celebrities pledge abstinence because of their religious beliefs, while others hold out until marriage out of respect for themselves. Here are five couples who waited until their big day:
Soul singer Candice Glover has been a frontrunner since the start of season 12 of American Idol, so it wasn’t surprising when she took home the crown on last night’s finale. Glover, though, was sure to take things slow. “My goal was to make it to the top 20. If I got that far, I knew I’d have a fan base that would keep voting for me,” she shares. “Then, I made it to the top ten, the top five, and finally the top two. That’s when I knew I could win this whole thing.”
American Idol viewers were surprised to see New Orleans native Burnell Taylor sent home last night. Even mentor Jimmy Iovine predicted that he would be the last guy standing, saying at the start of the elimination show that Lazaro Arbos should be voted off. Taylor, though, says he “had a feeling it was going to be me this week. I was prepared — it’s always a possibility.”
Mariah Carey and husband Nick Cannon enjoyed a bonding family day at the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, according to People. The couple posted for photos along with their eighteen-month twins — Moroccan and Monroe. Recently, Carey has been in the news regarding her feud with Nicki Minaj as the two are fellow judges on American Idol. Despite recent rumors regarding the fighting between the two, Idol’s producers commented that the two are, “one of the best, most passionate, dynamic and invested judging panels”. Regardless of whether or not the feud is all it is hyped up to be in the tabloids, the family seemed at ease as they enjoyed cotton candy, roller coasters and balloons.

Planning a wedding is hard work. You have to pick a date, send out invites, take engagement photos, find the perfect dress, choose the hall, get a caterer — actually, the planning really doesn’t end until the big day. And if you’re a celebrity, add trying to shun paparazzi and other camera toting individuals to your to-do list and this task can become even more stressful. Contrary to this belief, thanks to reality TV and celebrity magazine contracts, some celebrities [insert Kim Kardashian here] have the pleasure of publicizing their exchanging of vows for millions of Hollywood enthused fans to see on TV in trade of cashing a multi-million dollar check. While, this gives off a semblance of an easy pay day for celebrities, these Tinseltown twosomes traded in the cameras and the public access to celebrate their intimate moment with family and close friends:

As they approached their four-year anniversary on April 30, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon took a romantic getaway and renewed their vows in Paris. Cannon got down on one knee next to Carey in their hotel room with a back drop of the Eiffel Tower, according to TooFab. The couple also took this beautiful moment to share with the press for all to see. April 30th also happens to be the duo’s twins’ first birthday. Carey tweeted, “Very excited to celebrate #dembabies first birthday in a week, I can’t even believe it’s been a year. “The happy couple has a lot to celebrate this April!

How can a Life Coach be proud of the fact that he’s getting married for the 16th time? Well, in my case, I’m marrying the same woman! You see, my bride and I remarry in a different state or country ever year, and this year is number 16! We are not alone, however, as celebrities like Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are following our lead and doing the same exact thing.
Whenever my bride and I share this story, most people respond by saying they would really like to do follow suit or that it sounds really romantic. Guess what? It really is! And I highly recommend it for everyone, not just my clients. Here’s my story:

Until the early 2000s, most women hadn’t even considered moving backward a generation in their search for a partner, and if they did, their friends and the rest of society served them with a cool dish of disapproval. Then, the cougar craze peaked when couples like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher became household names. Single women everywhere finally felt free to scope out younger men in their hunky hunt for love. Now, nearly a decade later, the publicity over cougars has slowed to a crawl and with the dissolve of the Kutcher-Moore marriage, some have been left to wonder if the phenomenon has passed. Newsflash: it hasn’t! The press may have moved on to newer stories, but these couples prove that women have been following their hearts, regardless of age, long before the cougar craze hit, and they’ll continue to do so long after:

Ever since Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon confirmed their pregnancy last year, everyone has been wondering about the sex of their twin babies. It’s both a boy and a girl, a close source to the pair told UsMagazine.com. The couple has been cautious about revealing too many details, as they struggled to conceive after a miscarriage in 2008. But when President Obama asked them about the pregnancy, they couldn’t resist and broke the news about having twins. The source said, “Those kids will have everything. Mariah and Nick are ecstatic.”

As a result of her recent pregnancy, mommy-to-be, Mariah Carey’s style is bound to experience some changes.

It’s time to finally set the record straight: Mariah Carey is pregnant!

Nick Cannon is speaking out about the rampant rumors surrounding wife Mariah Carey, and the possibility that she is pregnant.

Magazine. “She’s very nurturing, you know, nurturing and private. She makes me breakfast, and that’s my favorite food,” Cannon said. “It will be like 3:00 in the morning, and she’ll still make me breakfast. [She makes me] Waffles. I’m a waffle guy. With like the iron, she’s talented.”
