When I think of romance I think of roses…deep, red velvet roses…wafting..I think of my Luscious Roses Limited Edition Parfum…with 6 different roses embracing me….fragrantly.

Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love…passion, sensuality….

Whether you are planning a steamy evening with Sensual Embrace eau de parfum…

or a sultry afternoon with Dark Mistress eau de parfum…

Make it an indulgence of the senses….

Annoint yourself with lovely, floral perfume..with the aphrodisiacs..of rose, jasmine, and sandalwood…

and escape to another world….

I love my new gold foil boxes. They are available with my Natural Perfumes in organic jojoba oil. This includes the French Collection parfums in the French parfum bottles.

The larger box is presented with my Limited Edition Parfums. They are matched sets. There are 6 different styles.

A few months ago I made some new perfumes…I have no idea when they are going to launch…the year just began…

I created one I thought was going to be just for me…well, funny thing I go to try and open it..and I cannot. It is in one of those French perfume bottles with the dauber that sticks in the bottle…and I mean sticks. Ok so I think maybe it is not matured…and won’t allow me to smell it?

Maybe a few more weeks and I will use measures to open it..Maybe it will be my Valentine’s Day surprise…

Have you ever had a bottle that refused to open?

This is a photo I took at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA with a marine layer, overcast day.

This is a photo I took at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA with a more sunny day. It was taken in the cool light of the day…not full sun.

This is a photo taken just 5 minutes South of Moonlight Beach at Swami’s Self Realization garden in Encinitas, CA. This is a very typical sunny day.

There are two months of the year we get May Gray and June Gloom…lots of marine layer and less sun…That is the extent of SAD we have in the San Diego area.

Thank you for reading my blog the last 3 posts for Joy In January..I hope you have learned something…the winners will be announced next week…You can still post on Friday. The samples will be mailed to the US only…thank you…

In 1993 I started my Bassett Aromatherapy company. There was so much to learn about the essential oils, even after I became a Certified Aromatherapist.

People would call me and tell me of their emotional and assorted problems. My French electric diffusers were very popular and I would often see if they would like to fill their environment with “happy juice”. Inevitably they would and I would suggest pleasant and uplifting essential oils and my synergies that I sold to go with the diffusers. That is a very quick way to shift the energy in your home or office. Another way is to add essential oils to distilled water and make a mister to spray around your home.

I sell essential oils on my website. http://joannebassett.com/kits-essences/essential-oils/

Today’s giveaway is a 1/2 oz bottle of my “liquid sunshine” Lemon essence. Please leave a comment regarding using lemons in your daily life.

You will raise your vibration and people around you will notice the difference…and most of all so will you.

In addition I am giving away a Royal Collection sample set. In order to win go read about the collection and leave a comment regarding what natural perfumes sound the most interesting and why.

JoAnne Bassett Natural Perfume

Some of my favorite natural perfumes from my collections are the ones that make me feel joyful, cheerful, and uplifted.? I spray them on and my mood shifts instantly.? Have you ever experienced that?

It can be a very simple process of spraying the eau de parfum above your head and walking under it with your eyes closed.? You can also spray a large circle around your head and body and walk into it.? It is a game changer!? Try it.

When I spray my favorite citrus-y natural perfumes on my pulse points I know there will be a vibration change.

My favorites from my collections that immediately lift me up are:

Le Voyage eau de toilette – it contains lemon-y top? notes

Versailles eau de parfum – it contains tangerine, lime, and neroli oils

Reveiller eau de toilette – it contains red mandarin, lemon, and st johns wort which is known to aid depression

To win samples of? Reveiller eau de toilette and Versailles eau de parfum please leave a coment why they appeal to you.

Make sure you visit the other blogs to see what they have to say about SAD and for a free gift.
