Smells can do a number on you brain

Alan Hirsch, the founder and neurological director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, a Chicago- based organization that studies the effects of scents asserts that smell can change a person's perception of her surroundings. Here are a few more of his "functional fragrance" suggestions:

To Make The Room Bigger:
The smell of cucumber creates a subconscious perception that surroundings are more spacious than they are.

To Add Homeyness:
Want guests to feel welcome? Vanilla elicits "a feeling of safety and comfort" Baking cookies or bread works, he says, since most people associate baking smells with positive memories from childhood.

To Suppress the munchies:
If you tend to nibble as you cook, a peppermint scent in the kitchen will curb your urge to nosh, Hirsch says. Not mad about mint? Banana also does the trick.

To fire up your work-out:
Strawberries is the scent to turn to if you want an energy boost while exercising.

To get smart:
Once you've outfitted your home office with a flat-panel computer monitor and a powerful modem, add a bouquet. Says Hirsch, "We found a mixed floral smell increases learning speed"

Caffeine Is Good For Our Skin

One of our customer asked me what caffeine can do for our skin so I decide to post this note to let our fans know how great job Caffeine can do for our skin.

We all know what caffeine can do for our moods in the morning, but caffeine is also increasingly celebrated in the dermatological community for its impact on the skin. For years, caffeine's ability to quickly and effectively constrict blood vessels has made it a valued topical ingredient to minimize facial flushing.

Caffeine is starting to get lots of attention for its antioxidant properties when used both topically and orally because of its anti-inflammatory benefits.

One particularly promising study suggested that topical caffeine may also repair UV damage - and that it may prove to be a stronger antioxidant than certain green tea polyphenols. Coffeecherry which comes from the fruit of the coffee plant, is also getting a lot of attention lately as the next big antioxidant.

We have two products containing Caffeine and Coffeecherry:

100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream (the hottest item in our store)

Enjoy Aromatherapy during a shower

You can enjoy aromatherapy without taking a bath! Shower steamer can do the magic job for you.

I always tell our customers that you can use one shower steamer up to a month even though the product description saying that it is for one time use. Just remember to put it on a dish and if you want to have strong aromatherapy, put it nearby the shower head; if you just want to have mild aromatherapy, put it a little bit far away from the shower head.

Our shower steamers don't have any color and they will steam up everytime when you take a shower and stay dry right after you finish the shower so there won't be any mess in your shower room. I know what you are thinking.....yes! you can even take the used shower steamer with you when you travel too!

Soaptopia 50/50 Body Balm - The best body balm I've ever had in our store

I fell in love with Soaptopia products when I saw them in the showroom two years ago but I didn't have space for them in the store. Finally I can carry them in the store now!
My favorite is their 50/50 Body Balm http://store.seaportsoapopera.com/5050bodybalm

We have so many body balms or body butters in the store but I have to tell you the truth that it is the most wonderful body balm I've ever had.

First of all, it is 50% decadent cream and 50% indulgence so when you open the jar, you will see about eight balls of cream swimming in the essential oil.....haha! I know it sounds weird but that's why this body balm is so unique.

Second, you must think that it will make your skin greasy. Not at all! When you try it, you will be surprised how soft the body balm is and how the body balm can be absorbed by your skin in one minute.

Third, you can use it as body cream, hand cream, foot cream or even massage oil/ cream! You can grab more oil with less cream or less oil with more cream. You decide how rich you want it to be.

Anyhow, I jsut love it and hope you will love it, too!
