I've always been starstruck. Seeing celebrity makes my heart beat a little faster. Living here in the midwest, my opportunities for seeing celebrities is limited.
I am also noticing that I am starting to worry a bit more about safety. Especially when I am with my kids. Yesterday, my kids and I were at Los Angeles International airport waiting to go through security. The lines were long, long, long and actually snaked through an entire hallway and down the staircase. It was unbelieveable. Tempers were high as people feared they would miss their flights.
We finally reached the security checks. People were putting their bags on the rollers to go through the xray machines. I looked around and noticed an extremely scuzzy looking guy with a baseball cap and three cameras with zoom lenses. What can he possibly be taking photos of I wondered? No one else seemed disturbed. When I presented my license to the security guard, I asked who is that person taking pictures. I also wondered why he was being allowed to do so. The answer was that he was a paparazzi. Miley Cyrus was just a bit ahead of us in line. Sure enough there she was a darling looking young woman. I pointed her out to my boys who recognized her but told me they wished she was a pokemon.
In the interim, I was quite frightened of the paparazzi that I thought was up to more nefarious dealings that I felt my anxiety levels grow and grow and grow. When we exited the security area, my heart was really beating up a storm -- that old fight or flight syndrome. Fortunately, I had a teeny little vial of lavender with me in purse that I was using on my dermatitis that I picked up on the beach. I breathed in the lavender aroma with deep breaths and I could feel my heart beat slowly returning to normal. Essential oils work. They work everytime.

Why Have Sex? Get Motivated with Ylang Ylang
Why Have Sex? That's a good question. Especially if you have been in a long term relationship, sex seems like one addtional chore or obligation that one needs to make time for in their busy life. Its really easy to loose interest in it, once it becomes same old, same old. Agreed?
Well, having sex is a good idea merely because it is a good way to burn alot of calories fast. It is also a good way to keep your relationship on track. What can you do if you simply don't feel like it? ever...?
Counseling is out of our realm but Ylang Ylang is one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs and can help you get motivated for the big 15 minutes or so you will need to be engaged.
Ylang ylang is a gentle oil that is rich in esters. It sooths the nervous system and allows you to relax. Another reason it is not a whole essential oil, meaning that it is processed differently from other essential oils. In a 2005 study ylang ylang was found to reduce the pulse rate while at the same time increasing alterness and arousal. All good conditions for having sex.
So now we've established that we must have sex for diet and for our relationship. We've established that ylang ylang works on relaxing the pulse rate as well as the nervous system while at the same time increasing alertness and arousal, so how do we use this very powerful smelling oil?
It can be used in an inhaler along with other essential oils. The chemicals of the scent will travel immediately to the brain and into the limbic system where ylang ylang will begin to do its work. Ylang ylang can also be added to a lotion along with other oilsin a blend that it won't over power. Check out http://www.omstonearomas.com/ for intstructions on how to blend. Happy Luvin!

Aromatherapy and Infertility
For many women infertility is a devastating condition. After all, isn't having children a natural right? Women in this situation look for answers in both traditional medicine and alternative therapies. Sometimes women abandon hope altogether as treatment is expensive, frustrating and very uncomfortable. Adoption remains an alternative but it too can be expensive, frustrating and uncomfortable.
As a certified aromatherapist, master degreed educator and a woman who battled infertility and won! (I adopted two children!), I believe that aromatherapy cannot assist in helping a woman conceive. In fact I would argue that the use of aromatherapy during the time of month when a woman is undergoing treatment could be counter productive. The reason I say this is because if a woman tries to conceive and fail, she may blame it on the rose, lavender or clary sage all estrogenic oils she might have been give to inhale, soak in or apply.
Infertility caused by hormonal imbalance should be addressed by a professional. Time is of essence when it comes to treatment, so I think that it is not a good idea to use essential oils to shrink fibroids. With that said, I think there is a place for aromatherapy for the couple or woman relying on assistance.
It is important to avoid many drugs and herbal remedies when trying to conceive, so anyone considering the use of essential oils should consult with their physician. But the weeks prior to beginning hormones, it might be nice to diffuse essential oils of rose and sweet orange in your home to help relax and bring down tension levels. Infertility treatment is stressful as it is, this is an excellent way to lower anxiety.

Psychoaromatherapy: Use it to your advantage
You may not believe it but we are constantly being manipulated by smells. Walk into any mall and notice the food court is always in the center luring you with the aroma of fresh baked cookies. Next thing you know, you are buying a dozen and wolfing them down, even though you've sworn off sweets.
Home sellers are often encouraged to diffuse vanilla and other irritating scents throughout their homes when trying to sell. I use the word irritating because I believe aromas must be subtly diffused and not annoying.
You too can use psychoaromatherapy to your advantage. Whether you are negotiating a deal or negotiating a date. The trick is to use the aromas carefully and subtly. A drop of lemon is refreshing and stimulating - exciting to the person you are pitching too. Ylang ylang is known to be an extremely potent aphrodisiac, it is also a potent aromatic and must be carefully blended in order not to turn off your love interest.
Companies have begun diffusing essential oils throughout their offices to keep their workers energized and pleasant. If you would like to learn the tricks of the trade please contact us at omstonearomas@yahoo.com

Ghandi Root Essential Oil - Warming, Calming, Grounding Om-ilicious!
I have found an om-ilicious essential oil that has been adding a new dimension to my blends both for relaxation, sleep and for those seeking a spirtitual depth. Ghandi Root.
Its aroma is deep and slightly sweet. It opens with a syrupy top note ending with an earthy base note, perfect for meditation and energy work. It is also excellent for those struggling with sleeplessness. I have been combining Ghandi root together with frankincense, sandalwood and lavender holds well in a rich body cream. Of course, I always like to cheer things up with a touch of rose hydrosol or perhaps a citric oil.

Can you get rid of your wrinkles forever?
Can you get rid of yor wrinkles forever? The answer is no. Even a facelift will eventually begin to fall, because aging progresses. So what's a wrinkle fraidy cat to do? Prevent and Correct.
Prevention is the ultimate way to control wrinkling and contain the damage. This means, staying out of the sun, no smoking and keeping your skin well hydrated because dry, tight skin leads to wrinkles!
Essential oils and carrier oils can help hydrate your skin. Carrier oils known to deflake dry skin include borage oil, evening of primrose oil and grapeseed oil. Jojoba oil is an excellent choice for acnetic and oil skin. Essential oil of frankincense is an excellent oil to rejuvenate the skin along with rose geranium and sandalwood. Toss in a drop or two of lemon essential oil and you skin will brighten up.
Correction of wrinkles is possible of couse (and its all temporary!) with Botox and other neurotoxins. Not everyone wants to go this route. You can try exfoliation techniques to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with microdermabrasion and mild chemical peels. At home you can make yourself a sugar scrub using the absolute of orchid oil. Contact us at Omstonearomas@yahoo.com and we can blend specifically for you!

Another Glowing Day
Ice still clings to the bare tree branches despite the warming temperatures and slight thaw. The display of sunlight continues to break into coloful prisms as melting drops of ice glisten as they fall. The tips of tree tops shine in the fading daylight and everything is dusted with a snow that trims the icey landscape like a fresh dollop of whipped cream.
It is a perfect day to explore the countryside. To pull on a lined pair of wellington boots, take the dog and begin tramping through the nature centers to admire nature's spectacular display. Icicles glisten like so many white diamonds. There is perfect silence. How wonderful the world is! How magical!
The fire is crackling in my fireplace and I am diffusing a warm heady combination of the essential oils of mandarin, cinnamon and sandalwood throughout my house. My children play quietly, unconcerned, about homework or the next day to come. The dog snoozes soundlessly beside me on the floor - out for the count. This is the time to contemplate, to explore the inner landscape. What have I done today? What can I do better?
You can enjoy the same synergy of mandarin, sandalwood and cinnamon I have blended for myself. Please contact me at Omstonearomas. com

Because its My Face Stupid!
For many years there has been a nationwide movement advocating for educated aestheticians who actually know what they are doing. Some schools just train aestheticians to pass the state boards and then they are on their own. This means they need to become self-educated.
Ounce out and about and in the salon or spa, the aesthetician is given acid and crystal powder to apply to the face. They may or may not be trained, but what the hell? they can try and experience is after all the best teacher. Also since some of the newbie aestheticians are so green they may not be aware of state laws which dictate what they can and cannot use on someone's face.
So if your aesthetician wants to apply a peel or some preparation that just doesn't feel right, just say "no". If they ask why, just answer "because it is my face." You can leave out the stupid because she's the one with the acid in her hand!
Aestheticians that want to be successful take their jobs very seriously. They are educated on the products they sell and understand when and how and why to use something. A seasoned aesthetician or not so seasoned aesthetician who is ambitious and well educated will approach you cautiously and make sure you are not overly sensitive.

This Valentine's Day Romance Him with Aromatic Bath. If you Do This After... You'll Really Take His Breath Away!
Why venture out into the snow and ice when an aromatic bath warms up even the coldest of winter's nights. The right essential oils combined with a knowing lover's touch will earn you much more gratitude than that chocolate torte ever could.
Remember its not what your bathtub looks like its what you put in it. Be careful, not all men enjoy floral scents. In order for your romantic night to work, you'll need to do a little footwork, in anticipation of playing footsie. Stock your aroma dispensary with the essential oils of sandalwood, ylang ylang and and ginger. Create a synergy of 1 drop gin ginger, 2 drops ylang ylang and 7 drops sandalwood. Add to one ounce of unscented, all natural bath gel or bubble bath.
Then add 2 drops of ylang ylang and 7 drops sandalwood and 6 drops lavender to unscented all natural massage cream. Do you see where we are going with this? Make sure you have large, soft towels, a fresh bathrobe and pretty unscented candels. Dim the lights for ambiance.
Sandalwood is the most sensual of all essential oils. Ylang Ylang is a most powerful aphrodisiac, ginger opens the body to intimacy and lavender breaks down any barriers to touch. What a night! Ginger is quite pungent, so use it sparingly!
Disperse your synergy of ylang ylang, sandalwood and ginger into your bath and enjoy. Later blend the lavender, sandalwood and ylang ylang synergy with your unscented massage cream and give him a massage he'll never forget. The oils with both calm and stimulate him.

Beauty and the Bitch: Self esteem and essential oils
Girls can be cruel to each other. Especially girls in middle school. There are more ways to bully and taunt someone than ever before.
Being bullied can have life-long implications. In addition to damaging self-esteem it may impact the way a girl communicates and interacts with people for the rest of her life. There is no logical reason that bullying should continue to be accepted as a rite of passage.
Why does it happen? There are many theories and thoughts as to why. My opinion is that this goes much deeper than a mere power struggle. I believe bullying has to do with survival of the fittest. The very essence as to what makes us tick as human beings, the inate instinctual desire to reproduce and the desire to attract more male partners to help acheive that desire.
There are cases where a girls between the ages of 11 and 13 are ostracized or teased because they arer "weird." No one should be bullied because they march to a different drummer, however, this is the nature of the beast. Thre are some really smart, attractive nice girls that find themselves on the recieving end of the bully's stick. Generally, she is victimized by the queen bee a little bitchy girl who feels threatened by her sweeter kinder rival. In evolutionary terms, the queen bee or bitch as she may be subconciously feels that her ability to attract the interest of the boys is being impeded by this start up rival who is equally attractvie.
Damaged self-esteem is the upshot and aromatherapy can help both the "bitch and the beauty" by offering a feeling of confidence and calm. Oils suggested are neroli for confidence, rose for comfort and ylang ylang for acceptance. Essential oils could be combined in an aloe gel for a perfume that all the girls would wear. The perfume would create a bonding, plus it would lower tensions as the girls began to accept each other and feel their self-esteem and confidence rise.

Relaxation is Hard Work
Its hard work to relax. In this fast paced, competitive and economically stressed times, relaxation isn't something that comes naturally. How many times have you taken your laptop, blackberry or netbook on vacation with you? probably more times than you can remember.
Its amazing though how many people will still say "will you just relax?" as if it something you can just do... well duh... its not. It is arguable that relaxation actually needs to be learned, like riding a bike. Further more, it takes practice, so that when you are really stressed, relaxation techniques can quickly kick in.
There are relaxation techniques that do not need to be perscribed -- there's yoga, there's meditation and there's a deep cleansing breath. There are also essential oils. Due to their small molecular structure essential oils are capable of penetrating the blood brain barrier and reaching into the limbic system to the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that controls our reactions. For some just the pleasant aroma of sweet orange, neroli, lemon, or sandlewood is enough to trigger a relaxation response.
A few drops of mandarin or lavender sprinkled on a cotton ball and inhaled can lower stress. The highly floral oils of ylang ylang and jasmine are very calming. Oils can be dropped on on omstones --terra cotta stones used as subtle personal diffusers and worn as necklaces and bracelets to keep you calm.
You can use aromatic spritzers and hydrosols in your personal space to recieve their beneficia effects. You can also use oils to enhance energy healing or your yoga practice. Speaking of practice, practice is key to success. Relaxation is a learned response.
A certified aromatherapist is most qualified to help you select appropriate oils and can also help you choose oils that you may not be aware of. Aromatherapists can design appropriate products taking into account your lifestyle and any contraindications of the oils.
