Have you ever thought about how fascinating it is that one familiar smell can bring back so many memories? The smell that can bring me back to my past and fill my heart with joy from the memories. The biggest memory that peppermint brings back for me is my Grandma.

My Grandmother and I used to do everything…

This contrast is good for viewers so that they can gain further insight about an artwork, and become more open-minded on…
Axe Body Wash – Woman Being Sexualized Stephanie Attar Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi Axe was launched in France in 1983 by Unilever. Its original name was Lynx. They couldn’t name it axe back then in France, due to trademark issues. Since then, Axe has evolved to become its own product. From 1990 to 1996 Axe used mostly geographic names to name the scents. When axe was made, their product was mostly to help men attract woman. Supposedly, this went totally opposite of what they thought…
Mother, Don’t Leave I can still remember that moment when I stared blankly into a chalkboard, as tears dripped off my face and splashed on top of my notebook. A faint buzzing could just be barely heard as I was lost in my thoughts. But the light tap from my brother knocked me back into reality. One month earlier… It was summer break, school just ended, and everyone was rushing into their well-planned vacations. I stayed home, enjoying the new found relaxation I didn’t have during the…

The smell of the old town was always pleasant to Victoria Dubois' nose. He insisted there was one living in town, and so Vic arranged to make the collection herself. She had a very refined palate thanks to being a century old, give or take a few years, although just by looking at the young woman it was impossible to tell. The alabaster paleness of her skin that hadn't felt the kiss of sunlight in so many decades was likely the only give away to her condition. However, there was a significant…

Sticky red covers me : my hands, my clothes, my entire body. The hollow shell of a human person occupies the corner of the room I stand in. I grin manically, laughter erupting from my throat. The whispers in my head begin to overwhelm me. I feel as if I’m drowning in all their words. “Stop!” I screech at the…
He never stopped to wonder if anyone was behind him. My bright and completely theoretical idea was that he probably already knew I was following him, and didn’t care to question that fact. He was striking, in the sense that he stood out amongst those in a crowd of average tastes. He took on a sort of "punk-rock" look, with a badass leather jacket and half-calf lace up boots. His face had enough piercings and retro jewelry on it to smelt into a two liter can of diced pineapple, though actually,…
