1. The Scent That Makes Women Seem Younger
===========================================
The scent of grapefruit on women makes them seem younger to men.But when men wear the fragrance of grapefruit, there is no effecton women.
The Associated Press published a story in June 2005 about a studyconducted at The Smell and Taste Institute in Chicago todetermine what makes a woman smell younger than her age. Thisstudy included several middle-aged women using the scents ofbroccoli, banana, spearmint leaves, and lavender to illicit aresponse in men.
The scent of grapefruit was the only scent that remarkablychanged men's perceptions. When male volunteers were asked towrite down how old the woman with grapefruit scent was, the agewas considerably less than the women's actual age.

2. Get Mesmer-"eyes"ized with Hypno-facials
=============================================
A little visualization, special acupoints on the face, a fewdrops of your favorite essential oil - and you've got a "Hypno-Facial".
In the high tech times of light beams, laser, andelectromagnetics, the low tech therapies of touch and nature canbe overshadowed, and even underestimated.
Aged faces and wrinkles can often be related to high levels ofstress. The hypnofacial can significantly reduce stress. Thetechnique allows the opening of energy, "chi", or "vital forces"to enter the face from the human touch and a therapeutic gradeessential oil. Combining that with a guided dialogue tovisualize the ideal self, both physically and mentally, can makesignificant improvements in the look of the face.
It's always wonderful to receive a facial. Laying back on theaestheticians comfy chair all wrapped up in nice cottons. Buthow often do we allow ourselves that? Time and money,hmmmmmmmmm.

Why not do a hypnofacial on yourself?

--First create your dialogue - the positive messages that youwant to give to yourself and your subconscious mind.

--Find out a few important points on the face to work with (hereis a link to a 45 second video demonstrationhttp://tinyurl.com/rvg8p).

--Put a few drops of your favorite essential oil on yourfingertips (rose is a great oil to use with this)

--Sit in front of a mirror

--Lovingly, not critically, give yourself a "Hypnotic Facial" bystating positive messages as you apply your oil with fingertippressure on significant points on the face

3. Abdominal'F*at' Cells: What They Mean
==============================================
Enlarged abdominal fat cells, especially in women, are a riskfactor for heart disease and diabetes. These fat cells aresubcutaneous - right below the surface of the skin.
The August issue of the International Journal of Obesity reporteda study that diet alone is not enough to reduce the size of thesefat cells. Exercise added to the equation showed better results.
“The message is very clear,” said Tongjian You, Ph.D., instructorin geriatric medicine at Wake Forest Baptist and lead author.“Exercise is important to reducing the size of these cells, andmay one day be part of a prescription for treating the healthcomplications associated with abdominal fat.”
“The size of these fat cells predicts type 2 diabetes,independent of whether the patient is obese,” said You.

4. Dr*ug*less W*eight L*oss Tip
========================================

Part One of Two:

Daily doses of fish oils (omega-3 fats) and exercise cancontribute to w'eight l'oss.
An Australian study examined 60 people who were obese oroverweight. They were put into four groups:
--fish oil, no exercise
--exercise, no fish oil
--fish oil, exercise
--no fish oil, no exercise
No dietary restrictions for any group

In three months those who both took fish oil and exercised lostan average of 4.5 pounds. None of the other groups lost anyweight at all.

4. Essential Oil Tip: Remove Moles
===================================
To remove moles apply 1-2 drops of therapeutic grade oregano oilneat (undiluted) directly on the mole, 2-3 times daily.
If an oil becomes hot on the skin, apply regular massage oil orolive oil. Do not attempt to remove with water. Do a skinsensitivity check first by applying one drop on the inside ofyour arm.
