Essentially Organized - Aromatherapy and Decluttering

Essentially Organized – Aromatherapy and Decluttering

Aromatherapy is strongly associated with healing. We go to the spa and part of the experience along with the actual treatment, is the aromatherapy. Your body is letting go of toxins, and the invigorating smells are assisting. In my opinion, decluttering is a form of healing. You are letting go of items that hold energy in your space and heart. Some of them are emotionally toxic, you may feel overwhelmed when you see them, you may begin revisiting failures of the past. It's very hard to let things go. I love helping people release the energy of these items. So why not have aromatherapy as part of a decluttering session?

For a while now, I have personally used raw Amber to help me feel grounded during emotional Client sessions. A dab on my wrists, behind the ears and on the heart. I get a lot of compliments on the smell, even from people who are “scent-sitive”. I am always on the lookout for essential oils and

lotions, and just recently found some that I like a lot. I like these oils so much, I had a custom batch made up just to help my Clients during their sessions. This proprietary blend contains properties that assist in the emotional letting go of things while helping you stay energized during the process. Hence the name, “Letting Go”. Please feel free to indulge if you have a session scheduled with me. It is complimentary.

If you are not on the calendar feel free to order:

(1) 4oz Roll On Vial of "Letting Go" $13.50 (s+h included)

Aromatherapy can be defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. It is an art and science that seeks to explore the physiological, psychological and spiritual realm of the individual's response to aromatic extracts as well as to observe and enhance the individual's innate healing process.

3 Tips On Jewelry Care and Organization

Hello Collectors! Is your jewelry all over the place? Is it on surfaces, in boxes, mixed in with paper? Maybe its just crammed into a jewelry box, out of sight out of mind. Whatever the case is, if you need help organizing your jewelry, keep reading.

1. Get it together. Corral your jewelry and get it all together. Go room by room, collecting your jewelry and put it all on top of one table or bed so that you can see what you have. If you are working with Hoarding Disorder or Chronic Disorganization, step one might be the hardest. I invite you to hire a Professional Organizer trained in valuable recovery. We find gold, diamonds, gems, and costume jewelry in the most random places, on a daily basis.
2. Care. Untangle necklaces, reunite earring pairs, polish silver, use jewelry cleaner and take care of all of your jewelry. If you see a piece that no longer suits or serves you, donate it. If you find a piece that has no hope, toss it. Turn in bulk gold for cash if it has accumulated.
   Only keep the amount of jewelry that you can personally care for.
3. Organize. Find the perfect home for all of your jewelry and put it neatly away. This can be a jewelry box, hooks on the wall, Tupperware containers, etc.
   
   I personally use the "Little Black Dress" by Umbra. I love how you can easily find what you need through the clear pockets. I store it in my closet on it's hanger, protected from dust and from being lost. (Photo above).
   
   Certified? Keep your "Certificates of Authenticity" together in a file in your filing cabinet.
   
   Do you have a lot of empty boxes that your jewelry came in? The cardboard ones with the fluff inside can be recycled. Only keep boxes that you can reuse.

Now that you have all of your jewelry together, cleaned & organized the last thing you need to do is sport it! Enjoy your bling Collectors. You paid for it, you should enjoy it!
