Himalayan Salt Lamps - The ideal pressie for someone who has everything!

Dear Friends,

This time of the year is very exciting but it can also be very stressful for many with kids starting school holidays, trying to christmas shop or better still, trying to decide what to buy everyone and then trying to find the time to actually go shopping.  We have been very busy ourselves over the past 2 months, we are finally settled into the new clinic and held our first Discovery Night on Wednesday which was a HUGE success!  Thank you to all who booked and turned up to enjoy a wonderful evening of champagne and nibbles, some idle chatter and to david who taught us how Aromatherapy can be used to make some unique products for Christmas and around the home.  A fun night was had by all and we thoroughly enjoyed being able to share the night with you.

In October 2005 we decided that our present car was burning far too much petrol and in an effort to be a little greener, we switched to a Honda Accord which is a Low Emmission Vehicle.  This month we sadly said goodbye to our much loved Accord and followed our eco-conscious beliefs and decided it was time to put our money where our mouth is and purchased a Peugeot 407 HDi (High-Pressure Direct Injection) Diesel Intelligence.   HDi Diesel Intelligence is better for the environment and Peugeot's pioneering particle filter system burns hazardous particles down to barely measurable levels.  Combined with the direct injection technology, the result is exhaust gas that actually contains fewer particles than the air we breathe in urban areas.  In addition the materials used on Peugeot cars are 90% recyclable, which means Peugeot HDi cars are among the cleanest on the planet.  So, we can proudly say that Scentual NRG is doing it's bit to help the environment when we need to drive somewhere.

A special "thank you" this month goes out to Joy B (you know who you are) for all your wonderful support over the past few months.  Joy is certainly one of our VIP clients who even delivers our brochures in her local neighbourhood in an effort to support us.  We truly are very blessed to have a client like you and we both enjoy your visits for a chat and coffee.

For those who are unaware or haven't visited our new clinic, we don't just do massage!  We now have a retail section filled with unique gift ideas.  If you are stuck for a pressie in the coming weeks for that person that you just don't know what to get, please visit our clinic to have a look at what gift ideas we have.  We have gifts to suit every budget and gift vouchers are always a hit for Christmas.

For those of you who have not had a chance to see our segment on Channel 9's Out and About, follow the link below to check it out.  We were thrilled to be approached to be on the show and show off our new Wellness Centre.  Out and About is a local program aired in the south east of Queensland featuring local attractions and places of interest.

Thank you everyone for all your support over the past 12 months, especially with the transition to the new clinic in Robina.  Please enjoy a relaxed festive season, drive safely if travelling (and don't forget your car vaporiser and energy oil), enjoy catching up with friends and family and remember to take time out and be grateful for what we have!

Wishing you health and happiness!

Are Your Candles Killing You?
By Sonja Minic - Green Scents Candles
 
Did you know that 80% of candles sold in Australia are made in Asia and contain paraffin wax and wicks which may contain traces of lead.  When burned, they release toxic gases which may be carcinogenic!

The therapeutic, healing benefits of inhaling Pure Essential Oils are well known today. These concentrated liquids have been long used in medicine and Aromatherapy practice to heal a variety of ailments and to revitalise the body, mind and soul.

We have coupled the healing properties of essential oils with our all natural Pure Soy Wax to create our quality line of Aromatherapy Soy Candles, hand poured and crafted in Canberra Australia, by us using our Premium 100% Pure Soy Bean Wax.

We use undiluted Pure Essential Oil blends. The scent throw is similar to ( or even slightly stronger, depending on the blend) burning essential oils in a burner, except our soy candles are the no mess, no fuss option because they are burned in a jar/container.

We do NOT add fragrance oils to our Aromatherapy Soy Candles to increase scent throw - we like our Aromatherapy collection to be as nature intended!

All Green Scents Soy Candles have 100% cotton, lead free wicks - absolutely no traces of lead.

Buyer Beware!

There are various Aromatherapy Candles on the market these days - but have you checked to see whether they are in fact paraffin candles (and many are if they are not specifically labelled as Soy Candles) or are Soy Blends (and are labelled as Soy) that contain paraffin or other waxes and synthetic additives? Some "Soy" candles can contain as little as 25% soy wax!

Not only are you harming your health (which is not what you want when buying aromatherapeutic products) and contributing to pollution of the environment by burning petroleum based paraffin wax, but you are also not getting value for money or to put it another way, "more bang for your buck".

Why Soy?

All of this means that you will be benefit from the therapeutic properties of aromatherapy essential oils without harming your health and the environment because Green Scents soy candles:

·Do NOT contain paraffin wax (used predominantly in the candle industry), proven to be harmful your health and the environment

·Do NOT contain beeswax or other animal by-products, so they are Vegan friendly and Kosher

·Are FREE from pesticides, herbicides and Genetically Modified material

·Are biodegradable and water soluble

·Burn cleaner, longer and cooler than other candles, including regular paraffin wax candles. This means virtually NO soot, absolutely NO black petro-soot—cleaner walls and lungs!

These are just some of the benefits gained from burning our Aromatherapy soy candles in your home and surrounds.

About Our Soy Wax

Care needs to be exercised when buying soy wax candles - are you buying 100% pure soy candles? You should study the label. There are soy wax candles on the market that are made from a combination of soy wax and paraffin wax - they can be called "Soy Blend" candles or just plain "Soy" candles.

Relax in the knowledge that when you buy Green Scents candles you are getting soy candles that are made from 100% pure soy bean wax.

Our soy wax has been subjected to analysis and scrutiny for the presence of pesticides, herbicides and genetically modified materials by experienced third party Accredited Laboratories. All results proved that our soy wax contained NONE of these substances - we truly make pure soy wax candles.

Every kilogram of Green Scents Soy Wax is analysed in a state of the art laboratory to assure its quality. Only after receiving a Certificate of Analysis guaranteeing high standards and purity, does any soy wax leave our manufacturer's processing plant.

We take the quality and purity of our soy wax seriously! We expect the best, and when only the best will do, choose Green Scents soy candles everytime!

Our chosen soybean wax is made fromsustainable soy beancrops, whereby selected farmers encourage growth without depletion.

When soy beans are processed, they are crushed and pressed to separate the soybean meal from the soybean oil. In each bushel (27.2kg) approximately 22.2kg of soy meal and 5 kg of soybean oil are produced.

The soy meal contains the soybean protein and it is from this meal that animal feeds and foods for human consumption (such as soy milk, tofu and textured soy protein for vegetarians) are made.

Soy bean wax is made from the soybean oil left over from the bushel. Our soybean manufacturer then purifies the crude soybean oil to give pristine soybean oil which then goes through a process called hydrogenation turning it into a solid. All our waxes are made from soybeans with exacting consistency from batch to batch, even though the actual crops themselves may vary.

Unlike other soy waxes on the market, our soy bean wax contains NO paraffin wax (usually mixed into some soy waxes to give a smoother appearance and added strength) and NO beeswax products, making Green Scents soy candles 100% vegetable based and suitable for vegans. Our soy wax is made from food grade soy bean oil and also meets Kosher Certification criteria.

So, are your candles killing you?  Why not try our Soy Candles? We are confident that you will enjoy them as much as we do!

Book of the Month
 
The Dash by Russell Reardon
 
$5.00 from every sale is donated to the StepUp Foundation for the empowerment of teenagers. (www.stepupfoundation.com)
 
Russell is not the person you would turn to if you wanted to leave school, get a job for life then retire and live happily ever after.
 
His working life started as an industrial chemist in Burnie, Tasmania to which he was totally unsuited. Since then he has been a lifeguard and barman in England, a grape-picker in France, a potato packer and barman in Scotland, a water-ski instructor and restaurant bar manager in Portugal (he had to learn to ski very quickly to get that job!), a used car salesman and life insurance salesman in Tasmania and business owner in Coffs Harbour.
 
The Dash is a book for everyone and came about as a result of a visit to a cemetery in Brisbane. The dash is the horizontal line on a person's tombstone seperating their date of birth form the date of death and is thus a metaphor for life. The book is an A - Z of a life well lived.
 
Russell lives on the Gold Coast, has been married for 35 years, has one daughter and an old dog and cat. He is acancer survivor, a passionate (if ordinary) golfer and loves the bush and beach.

Himalayan Salt Lamps

 

 
Himalayan Salt Lamps
 
A very fine saline film forms on the surface of the lamp, which is then evaporated by the heat generated by the lamp. This process of evaporation releases negatively charged ions to the atmosphere.

Salt is a natural substance that creates a negative ion release from interaction with atmospheric moisture and water. For instance, the negative ions generated at the beach by the lively air/water interaction brings renewal to the energy balance of the body. Salt Crystal Lamps work on the same principle, boosting free negative ions by as much as 300%

The balance of negative ions and positive ions around us greatly affects how we feel. When the correct ratio of positive to negative ions is achieved, we feel calmer, more alert and energised.
 
All of our lamps have a marble base to avoid being sprayed with insecticide when they are shipped into Australia. As salt absorbs moisture, they will also absorb the nasty insectide. Be aware of lamps with wooden bases.
 
Tea Lights $25.00 including free shipping
 
Salt Lamps From $85.00 including free shipping within Australia
