A very regular client of mine came for a back/neck/shoulder massage to be finished with Reflexology today. Her blend was Benzoin, Palmarosa and Wisteria. I was in heaven..... client fell fast asleep after she turned over for her Rx!😂 What's been your favourite combo recently?

I really wish when Aromatherapists and other CAM Practitioners write formulations on their websites, books, etc that they would stop using measurements such as spoons and cups and instead use mls (for liquids) and grams (for solids), as this makes formulations more accurate, scalable, and replicable.

Jane, I have bogged down the system. Cannot get my homework to send.

After the fortnight I've had (booted off Facebook, tumble dryer packing in, turns out it was just the fuse, and losing my new book document, then found), I'm looking forward to my swapsie session with @Ewa Skabek this morning. It will involve Reflexology and Crasnio-Sacral Therapy and of course plenty of smellies! ❤️ My little munchkins (grandchildren) bring me no end of joy. It was my grandaughter's 3rd birthday yesterday, but I'll be seeing her and her brother Saturday afternoon. I often get told off by my daughter for behaving like a big kid...... do I care? Of course not! 😂 My other self-care is taking myself off to a private woodland owned by a good friend, where I run Wild Women in the Woods every summer. I love the woods, the campfire and cooking and eating outdoors. 🌲 I'm also happy as a pig-in-muck when I'm investigating new oils. I've investigated and written about some 250 EO's over the years and I have another 20 odd I'm going to be looking into over the coming months. It's not just the chemistry stuff, I look at that as the oils A&P, I'm more interested in their personality, like finding out what really underlies a clients issues. What do you do for self-care?

If people were to describe your signature Fragrance (what you almost constantly wear), what would it be? For me, I am always wearing something woodsy or woodsy-citrus or woodsy-spice. Typically, my 3 go-to oils that I use in a jojoba base as a body oil, in my aroma pendant, etc are Australian Sandalwood (Santalum spicatum), Cedarwood Atlas (Cedrus atlantica), and a tiny bit of Pinyon Pine (Pinus edulis). During the day, I like to lighten this up by adding a citrus, usually either mandarin, sweet orange, yuzu, or bergamot. At night, I either just wear this base 3 or add in a tiny bit of spice such as nutmeg, clove, cardamom, or black pepper. So what is your go-to fragrance? I am especially interested in Natural Fragrance formulations for Men.
