Nature's Gift JANUARY Newsletter

First of all ... HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all! And (based on this morning's TV news) we hope that all our friends in the Northeast are warm and safe.
 

Coming up on 2000!

Sometime in the next 24 or 48 hours someone will place the 2000th order through our new shopping cart. (Do I have to stop saying it's new?) The lucky client will receive one of the new Soapstone boxes that Courtney featured on our Specials page.
 

MidWinter Citrus Sale 

Now that the holidays are over we are all dealing with the winter doldrums.  the best remedy we know for both Seasonal Affective Disorder and for just the winter blahs is a healthy dose of citrus. After all, who can be gloomy or grumpy when the air is full of the scent of citrus?  ALL of our cold pressed organic citrus oils at 10% off their normal price. Only if purchased on our Specials page

PASSAGES PRICE CUT IN HALF

It was my mistake.  An incorrect range on a spreadsheet gave a totally inaccurate cost on our Passages Blend, for easing the symptoms of menopause.  Both the synergy and the anointing oil have had their prices halved.  We have received wonderful feedback from the few who have tried this rich blend of clary, geranium, rose and vitex, but because of the price it was prohibitive.  This should make it more available to those who can use it.

(and, yes, I'm embarrassed!)

We have replaced our Rose Bath Salts with Jasmine Grand bath salts.  And I gave in to Courtney's pleading and we whipped up a bit of Jasmine Bliss Bath.   The Bath Salts are available on our aromatherapy baths page; the Jasmine Bliss Bath is there, and on our Specials page.

Limited Quantities

Several items that are very low in stock, and probably won't be available for much longer. If something you love is on this list, you might want to order quickly.

• Mermen Balm - we have run out of the synergy; have a few jars of the healing balm left. The perfect soother for chapped skin.
• Harmony Synergy. We are no longer able to import this Indian blend, so once what's left is gone...it's gone.
• Clementine Petitgrain. I don't know when I'll be able to restock this delightful leaf oil.
• Davana CO2 Ditto.
• Alpine Juniper
• Winter Savory
• Zdravetz - The Bulgarian Government has banned the export of Zdavetz. We don't know when, if ever, we'll be able to get more.
• Jasmine Grandiflora Wax (We have plenty of the Sambac, but I am reserving the jasmine Grand that's not yet been packaged for my own use.)

These items aren't on sale; we just wanted you to know that they are not going to be available indefinitely.

GERMBEATER SALE

to help ward off winter's germs and viruses...we have taken 10% off both our Germbeater Synergy, and our Germbeater room and counter spray. Sale pricing only on our Specials page.  

BACK in STOCK

some, because we've finally received stock we've been waiting for...some because they were marked out of stock until we discovered more...

• Hyacinth Perfume...there was 15 mls in the store...we repackaged it in 2 ml bottles.
• Namaste Candles. Our supplier can't keep these in stock long enough to send us some.
• EuroJars...the little two piece desktop diffuser, pictured on our Accessories page
• Witch Hazel Hydrosol (http://www.naturesgift.com/hydrosol_order.htm) Wonderful for skincare.

Cold weather reminder:

Nothing is better for chilled hands and feet than Black Pepper Essential Oil... just inhale a few deep breaths worth, and the circulation in fingers and toes will be stimulated, bringing a quick warming effect.

Did you ever wonder?

What are our best selling oils? There were some surprises on the list. the top five, in order, are:

• Bulgarian Lavender
• Tea Tree
• Bergamot
• Sweet Orange
• Helichrysum `

UNEXPECTED RESULTS

Theresa Green recently wrote that a friend was taking Neroli Hydrosol to help combat the effects of caffeine. An unexpected benefit...after a couple of weeks, his teeth became visibly whiter. She says he stopped taking it for two weeks, and his teeth began to darken again. now THAT is a new one for me!

And more....Dawn Pando has been using our Clarifying soap for a long time, but finds it a bit drying during the winter. She raved about the results she's had using our new Mille Fleur soap recently. Gentler and more moisturizing than the Clarifying Liquid Soap, ideal for winter use for troubled skin, she says. (Thanks for the feedback, Dawn!)

Respiratory Blend

Some time ago Donna Groom shared her Respiratory Protection Blend:

• eucalyptus radiata 4
• rosemary verbenone 4
• peppermint 4
• fir needle 4
• pine 1
• ravensara 4
• lemon myrtle 1
• cedarwood 1
• manuka 1
• laurel bay 1

This sounds like a wonderful blend for the diffuser or lamp. Thanks for sharing, Donna!

Before I forget, Courtney asked me to remind you all that your confirmation letters always ask you to CALL us within 30 minutes if you want a change in your order. We honestly DO process them that quickly and need the phone call. If you think we aren't here, leave voice mail, please.

That's it for now, everyone. Stay safe, healthy, and warm!
