How to Make an Impression

We all want to be remembered in good ways don’t we? It’s really not that hard to make a good impression on someone. All it takes is a friendly smile/greeting and a few other things. Believe it or not, smiling is contagious. If you smile at someone you’ll usually get a smile back. When you meet someone give them a firm handshake even if you’re a woman. Mind you, I said firm. You don’t have to be robust about it, but you don’t want to be timid either.

Eye contact: When you’re talking to someone look into their eyes and try not to wander off to other areas. By maintaining eye contact you’re making it personal and you’ll garner more interest.

Interrogation: Don’t actually grill people but you should be curious about the person you’re talking with. Take an interest in their background, their job or career and their interests. If you find something in common go with that and you’ll develop a two way exchange. This will make your bond stronger.

Body language: Never cross your arms across your chest. This communicates “I don’t really like you, leave me alone. Don’t have your hands on your hips either. Instead open yourself to the person with your hands by your side and palms somewhat foreward.

If you develop a rapport with them then maybe you can exchange phone numbers or e-mail addresses and go from there.

Gifts: I’m assuming now that you’ve developed a friendship with someone fairly new. What now? Small gifts of friendship go a long way in building a relationship. Don’t make it anything extravagant, maybe a little something for their home or office. House plants (not flowers) are a good start. There may come a time for flowers.

Once your friendship becomes stronger you can get a little more extravagant without appearing over anxious. Scented candles are an excellent way of expressing your friendship to or even love of someone. It’s simple, non-committal and almost everyone loves them. You can pay as little as $5 for a small wax tart found at your local store or as much as $50 for a fancy tower candle from gift shops or specialty web sites.

Have you considered a scented candle with jewelry hidden inside? There is such a thing. Tower candles come in a variety of scents and colors. It’s also the holiday season and there are new scents of pine, eggnog and baked goods available now. If you don’t want to spend quite that much money, go for a wax tart. Go for tarts that last 60 hours or more. They’re well worth the higher price. If your intended recipient is allergic to most candles, or even if you’re not sure, you can’t go wrong with all natural, soy based candles and tarts. If they’re infused with essential oils, they’ll last longer. Why not give them a Bayberry, Blueberry Pie or Gingerbread candle or tart with jewelry hidden inside. They’ll love it and the impression you’ll make will lastfor a long time! #scent #jicscents #IheartJIC #LOVEJIC #http://bit.ly/AnnettesJIC

Take Time to Relax

With the holiday season upon us it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of things. We have to go out in the crowded malls and stores to find that perfect gift for someone special. We have parties to plan and attend. Many of you may have your home decorated for the season, but some of us like to wait a bit. Do you have your tree yet?

On top of that, you have the holiday meals. We have to plan menus, buy all of the ingredients, bake things ahead of time, etc. etc. Are you traveling somewhere? You have tickets to buy and reservations to make. Maybe you’re expecting company from out of town. You want to make sure your house is clean or maybe reserve them a room at a hotel or motel. You’ll want to have snacks around.

At this time of year it’s easy to get stressed out. One of the most stressful things for me is coming home from even small errands and the traffic is just crazy. It’s slow, people dart in and out without thinking and common courtesy seems to be lost. After a long day of all this I’m ready to relax. I’ll put on some music and light a candle. Some of the most relaxing scents for me are Baby Powder, Clean Cotton, Teakwood and Coconut. Floral scents help to soothe my spirit too.

Some of the best scents come from Jewelry in Candles. They’re 100 percent soy wax with essential oils, so they’re not harmful to you. Each tower candle and tart comes with a piece of jewelry hidden inside too. Scented candles make excellent gifts and today you can get one free when you buy two! This includes Floral scents and relaxing ones like I mentioned and more! Why not browse through them and see if there’s not something you’d like. Then sitback and relax! #scent #jicscents #IheartJIC #LOVEJIC

And They're Off!

Oh my, the holiday shopping season is here! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. After celebrating and giving thanks with family and friends Black Friday once again arrives. We all know what that means. Heavy traffic and snarl ups. Please watch out for drivers darting about trying to make lane changes. It also means packed parking lots, crowded big box stores and malls. Personally, I prefer to avoid the stress, even if it means missing out on sale prices. I value my sanity too much.

You don’t have to deal with the crowds either. Many, if not most of the items you’re probably looking for are probably available online and should arrive in time for Christmas! Big box stores have web sites; there is Amazon, e-Bay and Alibaba. Most specialty stores have web sites. Whether you’re looking for sweaters, shoes, toys, music, home décor or kitchenware, you can find it online and probably at good prices.

One good choice for gifting is a scented candle. A scented candle lasts, providing a pleasant aroma wafting through the home long after you’ve left. Some people complain about reaction to burning candles. That’s why you should choose soy based candles. These are completely natural and made from soy beans. They’re not petroleum based which is the main culprit for irritation and wall stains. Also, when you purchase a soy candle, you’re supporting farmers!

‘Jewelry in Candles’ candles are 100% soy made with essential oils and natural cotton wicks. They come in many different scents, some especially for the holiday season. What’s more, each tower candle and wax tart comes with a hidden piece of jewelry inside! When you order online you can choose between a necklace, a ring in the size you want or earrings. The best part is that right now, today on Black Friday, many scents are ‘Buy One – Get One Free!’ Why not shop my store now and avoid the chaos? #scent #jicscents #IheartJIC #LOVEJIC #http://bit.ly/AnnettesJIC

Holiday Scents

Thanksgiving is in less than a week and then the Christmas shopping period before the big celebrations of Christmas! Oh my! Everyone is busy decorating their homes with autumn colors and Thanksgiving décor. Adding some special scents to the atmosphere give a little something to your home and everyone’s spirits.

Everyone is already looking forward to the aromas and tastes of that holiday turkey, and baked goods. I know I can wait until I smell and taste the homemade goodness. But why suffer until then? By adding some cinnamon incense or scented candles in the right aromas will keep you vicariously satisfied until that big day with family. While you’re planning the menu, and putting your groceries away for that celebration, why not light something that will reflect the same, pleasing aromas of Thanksgiving dinner?

Scented candles fit right in! Imagine smelling the scent of Blueberry Pie, Cinnamon or Banana Nut Bread until it comes time to actually bake the treats! It will ease your way into the holiday without the ache of waiting for the special occasion to get here.

What about after Thanksgiving? Well, then the busy shopping season begins! Oh, the choices we have to make, the added traffic, trying to find a parking spot at the mall and big box stores and the crowds! It’s enough to make the most staid person frustrated, isn’t it? When your long day fighting crowds and standing in long lines finally ends and you return home, wouldn’t it be nice to have the soothing scent of Lavender or Baby Powder wafting through your home to help you relax? It’s been proven that certain scents DO soothe you. Jasmine and the scent of Clean Cotton are two others.

Inevitably we all end up with someone for whom you just can’t decide what to buy for as a Christmas present. Who said you absolutely have to open presents ON Christmas day? By giving a holiday themed scented candle to someone before Christmas allows them to add to their holiday home decor before the big day. The scents of a Christmas wreath, Eggnog, Bayberry, Gingerbread and Peppermint would truly fill the recipients home with the aromas of the Christmas season for all visitors to enjoy when they come calling to visit.

While we’re talking about scented candles, soy candles are simply the best. They’re not petroleum based but made from all natural soy beans, meaning there’s no harmful chemicals being released irritating you and there is little to no staining to your walls. The best ones also use all natural essential oils in their make up. The scented candles from Jewelry in Candles are 100% soy with all natural essential oils. The wicks are 100% cotton. These are the reasons that make these candles such a value. The candles burn for 100 plus hours and the wax tarts burn for a total of 60 plus hours! Try finding that in your local stores. Oh, I forgot to mention that each candle and tart comes with a hidden piece of jewelry inside ranging in value from ten dollars to thousands of dollars! Now what do you say about the ‘value’? Why not shop now and get a jump on that shopping? Enjoy!

The Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy has been practiced for centuries. In fact the methods encourage healing by promoting blood flow, relieving tension, stimulating nerves as well as stretching and loosening muscles and keeping connective tissues elastic.

Massage therapy is also beneficial due to the reduction of waste products such as lactic and carbonic acids that build up after a cramping, discomfort and irritability causing activity. With therapy, your immune system can be enhanced and it will aid in the recovery of tissues and increasing your blood circulation.

During illness, massage therapy dilates and opens up blood vessels, improves circulation and relieves congestion. It also increases your red blood cell count for those suffering from anemia.

Massage therapy also acts as a mechanical cleanser pushing along the lymph and hastening the elimination of wastes and toxic debris. It helps eliminate edema or dropsy of the extremities. It increases blood supply and nutrition to the muscles. It helps you overcome harmful fatigue resulting from strenuous exercise or injury.

Massage therapy will also improve muscle tone and prevent or delay muscular atrophy resulting from forced activity, relax muscle spasms and relieve tension.

There are more benefits to massage therapy than I’ve mentioned here. But how do you get the most out of the practice? You must be in a relaxing environment. How can you possibly relax if there are laughing, running kids around?

Choose a quiet room with pleasant CALMING music in the background. Some plants and familiar pieces of art help create your peaceful environment. Many people use fragrances such as incense and scented candles to aid in the atmosphere. If you plan to use candles for aroma therapy, I suggest you stay away from paraffin wax candles. These are made from harmful petroleum products which many people develop allergic reactions to. They also tend to discolor our walls.

A good alternative to these are soy based candles. These types of candles are all natural and are made from soy beans. Many also include the good, essential oils. Using soy wax candles for your massage therapy sessions, or just to relax will do wonders for your spirits.
