Tuesday Treat: My nose is loving it! Part one

http://kristenpeters.net/

 I recently saw a post from Kristen Peters, Certified Holistic Health Practitioner and Certified Aromatherapist, mentioning aromatherapy, something I believe in wholeheartedly and absolutely love.  I wish I could tell you where I saw the mention, but I can't remember. *sigh* So sad when the memory goes. Anyway, to get back on track, I asked her to come up with a romantic and sensual aromatherapy blend for me. When I'm writing a lusty scene, I need to get in the mood and the sense of smell is one of my favorites to stimulate. 

Kristen stepped up to the challenged and designed a scent for me that contains a blend of rose, vanilla, lavender and ylang-ylang.  According to Kristen, "these essential oils are known for their aphrodisiac as well as sedative and anti-depressive properties.  They also help alleviate stress and anxiety.  They directly affect the nervous system and help to boost serotonin levels." Sounds like just the thing to get me in the mood for love. I sat down to write and spritzed the spray into the air. It smelled absolutely delightful and I could swear my synopsis started to sizzle. The love scene I wrote is excellent, if I do say so myself.

Kristen custom blends her products, everything is made to order fresh. She specializes in "an array of common ailments from anxiety to tendonitis." Visit her website to read more. Thank you, Kristen, for helping to put a zing into my writing.
