What does the summer solstice symbolize?

The first day of summer is the longest day of the year.  This year it is today June 20 in the USA.

As a child going to school I could not wait for summer vacation. “Going up to the lake”, staying in a cabin at a resort in Minnesota or Wisconsin.  Visiting old family friends and relatives, going swimming, barbecues, picnics, fishing in the lake from the dock or in a boat, parades, fairs, celebrations, and much more.

The summer went by so quickly.  On this first day of summer… let’s make the most of this day and this season.  Explore, do some new forms of exercise, meditate or pray.. get spiritual…  and see what makes you tick. What new project do you want to start now?  What new books do you want to read this summer?  What makes you happy now? What are you grateful for?

And for the release of the old.. what no longer serves you that you can let go of?  People, places and things.  Journal to get to the bottom of the matter and then make the change. You will be happier by Labor Day if you release it now…

If you haven’t been to my JoAnne Bassett website for a while perhaps it is time to revisit it.  Magical Perfumes and Empowering Perfumes to support you on your journey.

Sending blessings to you all on this auspicious day.

Memorial Day is an important day for us as we collectively pause to reflect and honor the service members who gave their lives for this great nation, as well as the families and friends they left behind. Never forget their sacrifice.

I am having a 20% off Memorial Day sale on Etsy.  It starts today and ends June 4.  I no longer do the telesummits but I continue to create energetic light filled collections.  Have you tried the over the top Divine Collection?  A 1 ml eau de perfume sample is now $4.80.

Recently I have watched people filling up their shopping carts at the big stores …soda, junk food, and sugar filled everything. Gmo’s and pesticides, and color additives in many foods. Also lots of plastic junk that serves as toys for children and games that are violent.  What are we doing to our bodies, minds and souls?

We are honoring the fallen soldiers today on Memorial Day.  I think we need to take a look at what “we are doing to ourselves”.  We do not need a war to kill our people we are doing a great job ourselves.  Diabetes, cancer, dementia.. and many other dis – eases in our bodies. Taking bioweapon jabs that bring on many diseases and condtions. Do your own research and stop believing everything the news tells you.

My hope is that you will respect your bodies to eat healthy, get proper exercise – if that is only a 30 minute walk or gardening. Go inside meditate, pray, do what you need to feel grateful and watch your thoughts.

Remember all of my natural perfumes have royal and divine alchemy included. The energetic botanical perfumes smell beautiful and raise your vibrations and align you with your highest self. This will bring you more prosperity, more love, more joy, empowerment,  wonderful connections and miracles daily.

Have a great day and remember our loved ones who have passed.  Blessings to you all.

In 14 days we will have another celebration. This time it is a celebration of Mothers.

Mothers come in all shapes and sizes; young and old.  What is my definition of a Mother.  One who is a caregiver.. one who takes care of someone or something.  They can give love and attention to a human being – someone they gave birth to or not,  a pet, an animal, a house plant, a vegetable or flower garden, or any other energetic thing that you deem is worthy of your attention and affection.

On this occasion I would suggest anyone who determines they are a Mother in some shape or form… please celebrate.. Take yourself out for lunch or dinner, buy yourself some healing energetic perfumes that give back to you.  Remember that I add Divine Light and Alchemy to all of the perfumes I create to uplift you to the higher vibrations. Just apply it and smell deeply.

Replenishing your energy and filling up your cup.  What does that look like for you?

I have put my Divine Destiny and Bubble of Divine Love perfumes on a closeout sale at 50% off at Etsy.

Looking at the calendar I marvel at the thought …in a few days I am going to be 70 years old. Wow.. April 1 is my birthday and it is not an April Fool’ s Day joke!

So I decided to have a 20% off sale at Etsy to celebrate this major achievement.  There is even a name for people who are 70 years… it is a septuagenarian.

My rose bushes are leafing out and I notice I have a few buds on some in front of the house. It may be 80 degrees on my birthday… would love to have a rose bloom.

At this point I have pink azaleas, red azaleas, and red camelias blooming in my yard. I notice that I have a peony bush. have not had one for years. The daffodils are all done blooming and many wildflowers – weeds are flowering. A very beautiful time of year.

This photo was taken in 2017 when I lived in Texas… I look like this still accept I no longer color my hair. My hair is now 50% gray/silver and 50% brown.  It’s not photo worthy. Thought it would be all gray at 70 years.

Hope you can take advantage of the sale… so I can clear out some more inventory.  Never started my “retirement” nor did I sell my company. I still have formulas for sale if anyone is interested.

Happy Spring and Happy Birthday to me!

Seize the Day!

The Divine Collection is a collection of 100% natural perfumes. The five distinctive perfumes are Blessings, Divine Guidance, Gratitude, Intention, and Prosperity. These natural fragrances smell like nothing I have ever experienced. Otherworldy… I was working with an extremely high positive vibration. This high energy was off the charts.

Every energetic perfume in this collection made me smile. You must try them all. The Divine Collection – All things Divine!

BLESSINGS: A citrus burst of sunshine. A ray of light captured in a bottle. Wear this natural perfume and feel beyond blessed.

DIVIINE GUIDANCE: From the Sacred green spikenard to the Holy basil, this perfume resonates with ancient chants. Allow this perfume to “whisper” to you.
Notes – green spikenard, holy basil, hydrodistilled Oman frankincense, wild orange, lemon, basil, spearmint, juniper

GRATITUDE: With a truck load of damask roses and enough jasmine sambac to line your path; your heart will open. Feel the loving gratitude swelling up from within.
Notes – celery seed, combava – Keffir lime, jasmine sambac, Bulgarian rose damask, cardamon, light patchouli, sweet orange

INTENTION: From the first whiff you will feel the smoke rising; clearing the energies. Now is the time to “speak” your intentions into creation.

These are traditional classic perfumes made with real essential oils and absolutes. No toxic, synthetic fragrance oils! They are all natural eau de perfumes in organic grape alcohol from wine grapes.

——————————————————————————————
Natural fragrances are not like synthetic, commercial, department store fragrances. They will not last all day. You need to apply the fragrance to your skin or your clothing and re apply them as needed.

They can last from 4 hours to 8 hours or longer depending on the formula and your skin. For extreme self care I ask you to anoint yourself and reapply them. It is like giving yourself a blessing. The perfumes in organic jojoba oil have a higher concentration of the essential oils and absolutes so will last longer than the eau de perfume and eau de toilette in organic grape alcohol.

No synthetics, phthalates, parabens, isolates, or nature identicals.
They are cruelty free with no animal testing.

They are available on my Etsy store.. and I am having a 20% off sale there now to help with the SEO with my store.

The 1 ml samples in an organdy bag are available here.

The 5 ml travel sprayers in an organdy bag are available here.

I have been traveling for three weeks.  I have been all the way down the East Coast from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Sarasota, Florida with the crystal Siesta beach. I  have gone North crossed the mountains to the Midwest. Sharing Thanksgiving with some relatives is a change for me this year. Seeing people I have not seen in a very long time.

There is healing and closure going on for myself and others. The end of the year…and the  beginning of new things in my life.

So I decided to open my Etsy Store and my website JoAnne Bassett so people can order for the holidays. I will be back in 5 to 7 days to begin shipping for December.

Please get your orders in early so I know what needs to be mailed. I am also in the process of moving so I will close my stores again before Christmas.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving.  I am grateful for you all and my lovely perfumes that make people smile, feel good and empowered.

Heads up!

Time to take a break, travel and move.  Many changes coming ….

Yes I have been selling perfumes, perfume kits, supplies, etc.   I am also in the process of selling my perfume formulas and my perfume brand JoAnne Bassett.

If there are any natural perfumes, oils, etc. you want…now is the time to purchase them. Some of my perfumes will be removed from my website and my Etsy store  

If you plan to gift my natural perfumes or perfume kits and more for the holidays.. purchase them now.  I doubt if my stores will open again before next year! The last day to order is Saturday, October 28. 

My Etsy shop will show a long shipping time or on vacation… My website will show it is open but I will not fill any order and I will refund all money received.

Have a great holiday season.

JoAnne
