At Garden of Eve we support the ‘scentiments’ of Valentine’s Day with the aromatic essences of Rose and Citrus which historically have been found to bring ‘Joy to the Heart’ since the days of Cleopatra.

A favorite story I came upon in my study of aromatherapy, was that of Cleopatra and how she used the essential oils in her conquest of Mark Anthony. It is said that on her voyage down the Nile to meet the famous leader, she had the sails of her ship soaked with the essential oils of rose and orange three times a day. Of course, she had the 'staff?’ to accomplish this. The significance of the rose oil is that it is has an effect of opening one's heart to being receptive. Orange oil brings harmony and balance to both body and mind. So this aromatic blend set the scene and the mood for her to be favorably received. Imagine the affect this had on Mark Anthony as well as all the town's people as Cleopatra's ship sailed into the harbor! Well, I'm sure this was not the only ploy she played on him. But I'm also certain it was quite effective!

Today anyone can warm their heart while softening their skin with Garden of Eve’s Joy to the Heart Hand and Body Cream. It affords a great opportunity to experience the deep uplifting calm of the aromatic blend of flowers.

You can never have too much Joy!

Men are not to be ignored on this day of caring expression. Garden of Eve has a special treat for men as well.

Adam’s After Shave Skin Toner is a great introduction to caring for masculine skin with only pure wholesome ingredients. Today men are seeking pure non-toxic skin care products.

Aromatherapy is an age old tradition that can reach the emotions on a deep and subtle level. Aromas can bring forward treasured memories of family and friends. Aromas can also inspire joy and creativity or enhance calm and relaxation. The right aroma can even help to promote a restful night’s sleep. Valentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity for introducing this ancient ‘therapy’ to a loved one.

Is There A Fountain of Youth?

Our culture puts a great deal of emphasis on maintaining the appearance of youth, good looks, and even conventional appearance. Consequently there is a huge market for anti-aging skin care products and cosmetics that cover-up unique appearances promoting the same concept of beauty for everyone.

Personally, I have never bought into to the concept of the aging process. I believe that good health created by enjoying a healthy lifestyle of good balanced nutrition, enjoyable exercise, quality rest and relaxation with attention to mastering stress will support our health and well being which in turn will exhibit a vibrancy that glows from the inside outward. This to me is the true fountain of youth.

At any time we can reverse the aging process, at least to some degree. In my view reversing the aging process is not the optimum goal, rather creating vibrant health which glows like a light from the inside out. Whether you intend to reverse aging or prevent aging the process is the same. Giving our bodies, including our skin, the nourishment it requires to continually regenerate healthy cells is what constitutes optimal health and beauty. At any time we can enhance our health of body, mind and spirit such that we project a vibrancy that indicates a ‘joi-de-vivre.’

Identifying what we associate as the signs of aging is useful. These are our body’s signals that we are out of balance. Wrinkles, dull and dry skin, brown spots, loss of facial tone and contours, stiff aching joints and muscles, shrinking muscles, loss of strength, tiredness are all indications that our self health care is lacking. How we develop these signs needs to be better understood. Both genetics and lifestyle will influence our health and the way we look and feel as our years increase in number.

Our signs of aging should develop slowly and gradually. We can’t stop or prevent aging. It is a natural life process. However, I believe that we all can style our years with grace.

Helpful practices for maintaining a vibrant glow of grace –


1.Nutrition –

a. Establish an eating plan suited to your health needs and activity. Eat non-
processed whole foods that are free from synthetic preservatives, rich in
antioxidants, live enzymes, plant form trace minerals and essential fatty acids. Discover the foods that specifically suit you.
b. Drink sufficient pure water – 1 oz per pound of body weight sipped slowly
thruout the day.
c. Minimize your consumption of sugars, low quality fats, caffeine, and alcohol.
2. Enjoy quality exercise and leisure activities
3. Get quality relaxation and rest – yoga, meditation.
4. Incorporate methods for mastering stress.
5. Minimize the use of make up . Many ingredients in make up clog pores, dry and harm the skin and your health. ..and even age the appearance of your skin.
6. Search for and use the purest skin care products that you can find.
7. Laugh! …A lot!
8. Create the Life that YOU Enjoy!

True beauty is each individual’s unique natural beauty. Developing your healthy, vibrant body, mind and spirit is the greatest beauty you can display.
