If you keep in the news, you know it was
recently National Popcorn Day. Okay, it was the lavish popcorn bar that greeted
me at my credit union that filled me in. At Neches Federal Credit Union, they
filled a table with an array of usual suspects in the toppings department. A
buttery spray, a shaker of cheese flavoring and little chocolate-coated candies
were popular choices. I was intrigued with the crushed Oreos. I chose that and
a shake of red pepper. A head-turner at first, my conversation about it
inspired others to investigate the combination.
Oiled
up to energize
Pure
essentials are an investment, and Karin Parramore’s book helps explain the
labor and costs behind the gathering. I already enjoy using oils for calming
and energizing fragrances that keep headaches away and elevate the mood.
“Aromatherapy
with Essential Oil Diffusers: For Everyday Health & Wellness” is a guide
for using oils to combat everything from sinus pain and coughs to wrinkles and
pests. Everyone’s looking for more natural remedies and these oils are much
more available than the were just a short time ago. The author will help you
choose diffuser methods and blend up a little something for what’s bothering
you. I enjoyed background about fragrance history from around the world.
Imagine dipping your pen in scented ink to inscribe on floral-infused papers.
Here are a few tips from the book:
To
reduce the urge to eat, blend sweet orange, vanilla and cinnamon oils and sniff
it when you are full, for about a week. After a week of training, sniff it when
you think you want to eat, to help reduce cravings.
To
curb coffee or sugar cravings, blend three drops back spruce or fir essential
oil with 1 drop cacao or Peru blossom and 1 drop vetiver. Diffuse onto a terra
cotta disc and place it in a sunny window to get the scent throughout the day.
