Have you ever walked into a space and felt instantly at peace, or perhaps rejuvenated after a long day? Many times this is due to the use of specific scents to enhance the mood of that space. Restaurants, department stores, hospitals, and other businesses have long been aware of the ability of scent to influence behavior. You can reap the same benefits in your own space through the use of aromatherapy and essential oils. Aromatherapy is the practice of using scent to influence mental and physical well-being.  An easy way to benefit from aromatherapy is by using essential oils, which are the pure essences of plants, flowers, or herbs. These pure oils are collected by various methods including steam extraction and pressing. Essential oils can greatly benefit your body and change your emotions through their natural scents. While they can smell pleasant, “fragrance oils” do contain synthetic ingredients and do not offer the therapeutic benefits of essential oils, so for the greatest benefit, be sure to use only pure, good quality essential oils and products that contain them.  Unless specified otherwise, essential oils should not be ingested.  Skin should always be tested for sensitivity prior to topical use.  

Equinox comes from a Latin word which means “equal night.” The Spring, or Vernal, Equinox on March 20th brings almost equal amounts of day and night to everyone around the world. It’s also the first official day of Spring, which is a great reason to celebrate! The Spring Equinox tumbled stones mix. 

Lemon Quartz’s yellow and green colors are the epitome of springtime and it carries a wonderfully protective and healing energy. Labradorite is also protective and is helpful in times of change. It heals old, painful memories and so that you can make a fresh start… and its flash is just beyond gorgeous! Carnelian represents the cycle of life; it increases physical energy and boosts creativity so that you can begin new projects.
