Are you on computers/smartphone/tablet throughout the day? You need to know ... Yesterday, I asked an optometrist if there are any trends in people suffering from eye conditions due to extended time looking at their Smartphone screens. This was his answer: Yes and actually there is now a term “screen sightedness”. He pointed out that according to research, there has been a 65% increase in the number of people with advancing Myopia in the US and 85% in Japan. I am always thinking preventative care, so I asked what can be done to prevent this from happening to us as adults or children. Here is what you can do: Make sure you take breaks every 20 minutes from working on computers and smart phones. During the break, do this simple eye exercise: Extend your hand out 1.5 feet from your face with your thumb up. Next, focus your eyes on your thumb for 5 seconds, then focus on an object 10 feet in front of you for 5 seconds. Repeat 5 times during your break. Yours and your family's eye health will be maintained and normal eye function supported when you diffuse Frankincense. I apply one drop of oil to my palm, rub it into both hands, cup my hands over both eyes and blink for about 1 minute at least 2 times a week. I hope this helps.

Perfume Recipes
QUICK FACT: Did you know that essential oils are also called perfumes in the Bible? People who made the oils from the plants and distributed them were referred to as Perfumers. Essential oils are the original unadulterated perfumes.
My favorite fact about using essential oils as perfume or cologne is the therapeutic benefits. Unlike the store bought perfumes and colognes, essential oils are natural and the store bought ones are full of chemicals that often cause the user and/or others exposed to you, chemical reactions such as nausea and headaches. Essential oils create a pleasant, natural scent that actually promotes wellness and benefits you. There are 3 basic layers to a perfume scent. First you’ll smell the quick-evaporating top scent, followed a moment later by the middle scent —the heart of the perfume. Finally, you’ll catch the base scents, which complement the top and middle. When selecting oils for your perfume, start with the base, soften with a middle, and finish with a top scent that makes a positive first impression. SIMPLE PERFUME/COLOGNE RECIPE: ~Distilled Water ~Witch Hazel (Buy it Here on Amazon) ~1 Base Oil ~1 Middle Oil ~1 Top Oil ~1 Glass 10ml Spray Bottle (BUY HERE) DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF BOTTLE YOU ARE USING, THE AMOUNTS YOU ADD WILL DIFFER. FOR A 10ML BOTTLE USE 10-15 DROPS OF EACH OIL YOU CHOOSE. I SUGGEST YOU TRY THE COMBINATION OF SCENTS YOU CHOOSE FIRST, BY USING 1 DROP OF EACH OIL IN A MIXING BOWL WITH A DROP OF THE WITCH HAZEL. THIS WILL GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEST THE BLEND BEFORE DOING AN ENTIRE BATCH. SUGGESTED OILS FOR MEN'S COLOGNE: ~PATCHOULI ~ROSE ~ORANGE ~CINNAMON ~BERGAMONT ~CEDARWOOD ~IDAHO BALSAM FIR ~SANDALWOOD ~YLANG YLANG ~JASMINE ~COPAIBA ~PALO SANTO BASE OILS
