Essential Oils: Much Needed R & R
Having anxiety? Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Want some help? Essential oils and daily aromatherapy can help immensely - let's check out the scents that target certain (bad) moods and some that will turn any frown upside down!

Memory Loss or Concentration Problems? Confronting concentration issues and memory loss can be daunting and leave you feeling tired and confused. Luckily, basil, black pepper, cypress, rosemary, lemon and peppermint can supply you with just the right aromas to get your cerebellum curtly crawling with cleverness! We recommend Cake Beauty Cake Walk Triplemint Foot Creme, Get Fresh Santa Monica Bath & Body Renewal Kit, H2T Shower Gel in Lavender, or Rene Furterer Naturia Gentle Balancing Shampoo |

Feeling Sad, Depressed, Burnt Out? Some days are worse than others - whether its the weather or waking up on the wrong side of the bed that causes it - we all have those days of feeling down in the dumps. Aromas like basil, bergamot, clary sage, frankinscence, geranium, grapefruit, jasmine, lemon, mandarin, orange, sandalwood, rose, ylang ylang, and lavendar, will help pull you through! We recommend trying Luxo Banho Olive Oil Bar Soap, Skin An Apothecary Lavender Mint Salt Glow, Aspen Bay Reserve Candle Mandarin Mint, or Kai Perfume Oil. These products are infused with cheerful scents that will not only give you a fresh start in the morning and but they last throughout the day! |
|
Overwhelmed and Angry? Anger is usually triggered and unexpected, making feelings of madness and frustration burst and linger. Scents such as neroli, patchouli, petitgrain, orange, and roman chamomile are known for their calming influences. Next time you begin to feel angry try Capri Blue Canvas Collection Hand Soap, Skin An Apothecary Soy Body Whip in Chamomile Flower, Aunt Sadie's Cranberry Candle, or English Soap Company Italian Wrap Soap in Cinnamon Orange. These scents will help you keep your cool and feel levelheaded, serene, and unflappable! |

Overcome with Fear and Insecurity? Having issues with your job, money, or family can make you feel scared, worried, or defenseless. Scents like bergamot, cedarwood, frankincense, jasmine and sandalwood can assist in relaxing and clearing your mind; preparing you to think through the problems and provide clarity in judgement. Make your move with products like Rene Furterer Carthame Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner, Kalastyle Cedar Wood Soap, Leila Lou by Rosie Jane Eau de Parfum, or Kama Sutra Massage Oil in Pleasure Garden. |

Congratulations, readers, you've made it! March 20th marks the first day of Spring 2011. Embrace the new season with Beauty of a Site!
1. Wear Green
The most prominent sign of the new season is the hints of green popping up all over the country. Whether for your favorite St. Patty's day party or just for celebrating the season, green celebrates new growth and new chances. It's an essential part of your wardrobe! Try Zoya's Gemma for a chic green hue.
