Drop by drop I'm learning so much through my course with East West School of Aromatic Studies. There is so much to learn and that is just what I wanted. I want to share all I learn with you as I go along whether it be plant specifics, recipes or safety tips. Though I wish I could blink and be through my course, I am enjoying every minute of the learning experience. Why rush a good thing? I only wish I was this excited about school when I was young!

So I've been a bit stressed to say it mildly. As I was studying I took one of Jade's suggestion and added Clary Sage, Roman Chamomile and Neroli to my diffuser and chilled out. I wasn't paying attention to much else until I took a break and hugged my little dog Lucy. She is possessive over everyone in the house and usually is very verbal about it if another dog comes near you when you're hugging her. Well guess what? Nothing! Lucy was calm and didn't even care what the other dogs were doing. As a matter of fact, my daughter and I noticed that she very calm throughout the afternoon. I'm thinking perhaps she was digging on the diffuser blend! Hmmm?

Well I did it! I finally enrolled in East West School of Aromatherapy Courses! I am on my way to becoming a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist! I cannot wait to start learning all I can from Jade Shutes! I will keep you posted throughout this journey. Can you feel my excitement?

Well since the last workshop was fun and informative I'm doing another one on May 3rd @ 6:30. Details are below. There is something for everyone and all attendees will go home with a complimentary Be Well aromatherapy spray. There will also be aromatherapy products available for purchase.

I've been busy preparing for an Aromatherapy workshop that I will be presenting next week. I am super excited about this opportunity to share what I have learned and experienced using essential oils. I invite you to bring along your inner skeptic and maybe a friend or two too! You'll be pleasantly surprised by the benefits nature's little gifts can provide you. If I can help someone else find a healthy alternative to chemicals, synthetics, prescriptions, or over the counter medications, then I'll be a happier woman!

Louie and I have a friend who is suffering from RA among other injuries she received from a fall. About a year ago I gave her a bottle of wintergreen essential oil diluted to use for pain as she needed it. She did what most people do - she put it in a closet and forgot about it. That is until recently. She was having a bad night and couldn't sleep due to the pain. She took a high dose of ibuprofen and got no relief. She then took her prescribed pain medication and still no relief. Out of desperation she looked for and found my bottle of wintergreen and applied it. Guess who got her sleep? Yes! I was pleasantly surprised when I found a post from her on my Facebook page thanking me for a good night sleep! So happy it helped! These are the the stories that make me happy that I am doing something good :)
