Reese Witherspoon has been quite a busy lady lately, with her wedding to Jim Toth coming up this weekend, and new movie Water for Elephants coming out in April. The actress is also releasing a trio of fragrances for Avon starting in April, called Expressions.

The trio of scents called Laugh Often, Live Without Regrets and Love to the Fullest capture the different dimensions of Witherspoon's personality, and were inspired by the changing emotions of a woman.
