Note From Gina
 
 
Happy Tuesday!
 
I totally enjoyed this Memorial Day weekend. Took time away from the computer which felt good because I'm on it quite a lot - my eyes were thanking me as well. :)
The weather has been awesome and I got a lot of stuff organized - my version of organization anyway - which is probably quite different from a lot of people, but non-the-less, it feels pretty darn good.
 
You spoke and I'm listening....
and most people according to the survey I sent out said they'd really like to have a 'try me' VedaSun Face Care Kit available to purchase so I created a few. Just have to do a couple of, you know, the computer logistics stuff of getting it on my site - well, not me exactly, but my very amazing web designer, Chev, who helps me get all my stuff done. Did I say she was amazing...........she is!!! (Hopefully she'll read this and I'll get some extra brownie points!) Just kidding, she really is great.
 
So anyway, the kits on are on the way. As soon as they are up on the site I'll send a quick email out letting you know they are ready for purchase. I only have about a dozen ready for now so if you'd like one of those, look for an email from me within the next week.
  
 
Today's tip below features how to stop the overwhelm and start the organizing!
 
 
 Welcome all new subscribers! Glad you're here.
 
Empower yourself to have an amazing day!
 
Live brilliantly,
Gina 
 
Ps. Many many thanks and huge hugs.....to everyone who joined me on my first Aroma Talk - I had a blast and loved sharing the info. I also am grateful to those who took the time to email me and let me know how much you enjoyed it.
 
 
   Events and Happenings
 
 
1. NEW!!!
Aroma Talk - What the heck is an Aroma Talk anyway???
I figured I'd let the cat out of the bag (I think that's the saying), anyway, an Aroma Talk is a 20-30 minute group chat with me. The group is me and you and everyone else that signs up for the call and joins in on the Live chat. Of course I'll have the call recorded (hopefully without any tech issues) and available for a few days after the call for those who signed up but who could not make it to the Live call.
 
I invite you to come join in on the chat - just bring yourself, just as you are and listen and/or share info or ask questions - whatever works. I'm very easy going so don't feel intimidated in any way. We're all here to learn and I believe we all have valuable info to share. You can come and just hang out and listen, or you can participate - where ever the tide takes you, that's where you go. :)
 
Why only 20-30 minutes?  Well, that's about how long my voice can hold out for - ok, I can probably go a little longer than that, but I like giving out little bits of info in little bits of time, plus I am aware how busy everyone is so I figured most people can join for a 20 minute or so call, right?
 
You join me on a teleconference line which I supply (you get all those phone line details after you sign up for the talk) and we chat about a certain topic. It usually has something to do with Aromatherapy ;) but has lots more little tid-bits in there as well. I'm just sharing some info that seems to have helped me along the way on my life journey - to help find a little more peace amongst the chaos - and I love to chat about this stuff anyway so the more the merrier. :)
Plus I love getting to know all of you better too.
Next one will be in June.......look for details coming soon.
 
 

2. VedaSun Aromatherapy Face Kit coming soon!
- thought you may like to take a quick peak at it.....more details on the way. 
 
 
 
 
   Aromatherapy Luminary Tip


Organize and Go From Overwhelm to Calm!
~ using essential oils to stay focused on the task at hand
 
It feels so much better being organized...
Organization differs for every person - that's what I've found anyway. You can be really extreme, like Martin, Julia Roberts character's husband in Sleeping With The Enemy, or you can be quite casual about it, like me. :) 
 
It doesn't matter, as long as it's right and works for you... 
I admit, I still work on this part of my life - getting organized - in my own way - and staying that way. It takes work and time just like a lot of other things but it's worth it. When I open a closet and see it all neat, clean and simple (better Feng Shui as they say), it brings a whole set of different feelings for me then when I open up that same closet and see things thrown everywhere with no rhyme or reason to it. I just shut it and say, 'I'll get to it another day.'  Sound familiar? 
 
My Plan of Action...
Here's what I've found works for me and I hope you can grab a tip or two that may work for you.
  1. First of all, realize if you never get organized, it's not the worst thing in the world - things can be a lot worse than that.
  2. Once you realize number 1 above, it makes the task of organizing seem that much more doable. :)
  3. Pick a day/date in the future where you can spend an hour, 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 2 hours, (I've found that I can get a lot done even in 15-20 minutes - another big realization that I don't need to spend a whole 8 hour day organizing!)
  4. Write that day/date in your planner, or type it in your iPhone or whatever gadget you use to remember things (another great hint:  write things down somewhere so you don't forget it and so you make time for it - I use my iPhone calendar and it's been keeping me more on track).
  5. Pick one thing that you will organize - ie. your desk top, a closet, your planner, one drawer - whatever it is you feel is top priority for you and write that in your planner too!
On the Actual Organizing Day...
  1. Wake up, work out or go for a walk, eat a healthy breakfast and get ready to knock out your organizing task.
  2. Blast your favorite music.
  3. Use Aromatherapy (ahh, you thought I'd forgot, huh :).  Diffuse any of these essential oils or combo of them in the room where you'll be organizing. These all help you to stay focused, inspired and concentrated on the task at hand. Of course be sure to follow the directions that came with your diffuser.
  • Rosemary, Lemon, Peppermint, Spearmint, Sweet orange, Grapefruit, Lime, Bergamot, Ginger, Palmarosa, Eucalyptus and Cinnamon (mmm...I can smell them already!)
      4. Then Just Do It!
 
Ahh The Feeling...
When you're done, look at what you've accomplished and become aware of how you feel. I bet you will feel pretty darn good. It doesn't matter how much you accomplish, it's just taking the action to get something accomplished that counts. Once you start, you'll see how inspired you will become to keep going! And of course you get the added benefit of inhaling some great essential oils that also help you go from a state of overwhelm to one of more calm.
 
Enjoy!
 
*Important Note: Before using any essential oils, check with your medical practitioner if you have any health concerns or conditions or if you are pregnant or nursing.
