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

One Girl's Phyte Against Sagging Skin (Yeah, Essential Oils!)
This girl has been waging a one person battle against sagging skin. You don't even have to be older to have it... no fair. Sometimes at 20 the skin around the knee begins to sag somewhat.wrecking the eye view between the thigh and the calf. Thankfully there are leggings that can be worn all year round, which give a glimpse of the shape of the leg if not the skin itself.
There are those who believe that phytodyanmic and botanical products can lift sagging skin on the body and face so it could be worth a try. Won't happen over night. On another disappointing note, excerise just can't tighten these little flaws. So what exactly is sagging, when its sagging?
The answer is elastin. Elastin is a protein which gives skin its elasticity, or its "bounce back," after being stretched or maniuplated. It tends to diminish as the body ages. Sadly there really isn't anything that can reliably restore elastin. Aromatherapists though believe that oil of primrose can help address or at least slow the deterioration of elastin with evening primrose oil.
Evening primrose oil is express from the seeds of evening primrose and is high in GLA or gamma-linoleic acid which improves cell structure and stregnthens the elasticity of the skin. It also contracts blood vessels.
A mix of essential oils such as cypress and lemon and blended with evening primrose oil, might be a good combination to try to see if it impedes further elastin loss and rebuilds the skin. Visit http://www.omstonearomas.com/ to view products and blends.
