I honestly didn\u2019t even know she dabbled in fragrances, but Billie Eilish No.3 will be her last one\u2026 for now.  According to Allure, the fragrance line has been successful, which is true of most things Billie is involved in.  Most of this interview is not about perfume though, it\u2019s just typical Billie &#8211; confessional, self-aware, always taking her own temperature and trying to not only figure out who she is and what she stands for, but also figuring out how she wants to present herself.  Some highlights:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>She doesn\u2019t want to self-sabotage anymore:<\/strong> \u201cI do this thing where it seems like it\u2019s good to find out all the things that are going to hurt you the most, because when you know all of it, then you can have a sense of control about it. And once you know, you can heal from that. Then I\u2019m invincible! But what I\u2019ve learned&#8230;is that time goes by, and I\u2019m still scared. You don\u2019t have to push into pain to get out of pain. I\u2019ve done that, and I don\u2019t want to do it again.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p><strong>She\u2019s big into comfort:<\/strong> \u201cI watch things that bring me comfort\u201d \u2014 she\u2019s known to be a big fan of The Office \u2014 \u201cswim in my pool, but I feel best right out of the shower, with my lotions and my smells and I\u2019m in a clean environment. When you\u2019re in a sh-tty spot emotionally, when you change the things in front of you, it can help so much. I\u2019m trying to prioritize. I wrote in a song years ago&#8230;\u2018to keep myself together and prioritize my pleasure,\u2019\u201d a lyric from \u201cGetting Older,\u201d a song on the album Happier Than Ever. \u201cI said that three years ago, and then I didn\u2019t do it!  So I\u2019m doing it now. And I\u2019ve made enough people feel good that I deserve to feel good too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether she wants to hide from fame:<\/strong> \u201cAll the time. But I can do that. That\u2019s the thing about diving into the hurt \u2014 I don\u2019t need to do that. I\u2019m starting to do better, but I\u2019ve not been doing so great, to be honest. For a while. I have impending-doom feelings most of the day. When I think too much about it, how I can never have privacy again, it\u2019s enough to make you want to do all sorts of crazy things. But you have to let it go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A story about Paris:<\/strong> \u201cThere was this moment when I was in Paris, we were driving around, and I was in a bad place. It was not a good time for ol\u2019 Bill. I was not getting better, and didn\u2019t know when I would. And this motorcycle pulled up next to the car, and this guy\u2019s helmet had a sticker on it that said in all caps, \u2018Move on.\u2019 I was sitting there like, Oh. Message received. I have a really big problem with control, so I\u2019ve been trying to teach myself that there are things out of your control and you have to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>No more settling:<\/strong> \u201cI have settled many times with things and people and life. I\u2019ve settled for less than I deserved, and I\u2019m not going to do that anymore.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><strong>Her early years:<\/strong> \u201cI have to give credit to the person I\u2019ve always been \u2014 I did not give a f-ck at all. Between being a 14-year-old girl, and Finneas being a 17-year-old boy, and us making these little songs \u2014 we had to be very clear we weren\u2019t going to just do what anybody said. People could have done crazy sh-t, and I didn\u2019t let them. It was many, many years of having to convince a room full of people that I was going to do what I knew was right for me. I had ideas; I had plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women don\u2019t have to be exceptional:<\/strong> \u201cBut the thing is, people should know \u2014 women should know \u2014 you don\u2019t have to be exceptional. You can just be a person, and you should get awards for just being. Sometimes artists don\u2019t have plans, and that\u2019s fine, but I did, and I wasn\u2019t going to waste them.\u201d  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[From Allure]<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m a lot older than Billie but I relate to a lot of what she says here.  It sounds like she understands what self-soothing techniques help and she\u2019s gotten better at applying them.  It also sounds like she\u2019s becoming less of a people-pleaser and more confident in asking for what she wants and needs at every level.  \u201cI\u2019ve made enough people feel good that I deserve to feel good too.\u201d  Yeah, but it\u2019s not transactional &#8211; you don\u2019t have to make people feel good to then prioritize your own desires and well-being.  I really liked her \u201cmove on\u201d story though &#8211; it\u2019s cool how little things like that break through just when you need them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/coverimages53117096.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><small>Photos credit: BauerGriffin\/INSTARimages and via Instagram\/Allure.<\/small><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celebitchy.com\/837985\/billie_eilish_women_should_know_you_dont_have_to_be_exceptional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CxvCGlxLptb\/ Billie Eilish covers the latest issue of Allure, all to promote her fragrance line.
