Works Aromatherapy
does bath and body works aromatherapy stamina booth really work? ?

if so, where do you apply it? if it works, i wanna try it when running. i know it sounds funny but yeah.
(;
please answer if you have used this product.
does any of the aromatherapy products (at bath and body works) work?

I really like the stamina boost, although I usually use it for the peppermint oil to help relieve tense spots in my neck and upper back. It works really well for that (I also use the headache relief, but sometimes the geranium extract in it is a bit too floral for me, so that’s why the stamina boost with lemon and peppermint is nice.)

I rub it on areas where I have a lot of tension, although the directions state that you should apply some to your wrists, rub them together and breathe deeply.

The stamina boost roll-on is actually planned to be discontinued during this semi-annual sale, so your local store may or may not still have it in stock. It is available on the website still. If you decide to buy it online, may I suggest buying this two-pack? http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3206639&cp=2484777.3360815&parentPage=family
It has the Stamina Boost and the Headache Relief together for less than the price of one.

If you are considering trying it, I would say to go for it…and keep in mind Bath and Body Works’ 100% guarantee. If you use it a couple times, decide it’s not what you wanted, bring back the unused portion to your local BBW store for a full refund/exchange (yes, even if you purchased it online). You’re never stuck with anything you buy from Bath and Body Works…their incentive to get you to try new things. :]

Good luck! Enjoy!

How Simply Writing Can Help Cancer Patients

A study published in the journal ‘The Oncologist’ in the February issue of last year supports the notion that expressive writing is effective in easing the stress of cancer. Cancers are by far one of the most dreaded medical conditions and coping with the disease can be quite stressful. Aside from the physical stress the body endures from the malady and from the various treatments viz. chemotherapy (treatment with pharma drugs), radiotherapy, etc, an individual has to cope with myriad lifestyle adjustments that induce a lot of stress.

This study indeed raises hopes that an activity as simple as expressive writing aids the individuals suffering by alleviating psychological stress arising out of the condition. Cancer is a disease that affects young and old, rich and poor and every one around the world. For example, In the year 2005 alone, the world witnessed about 7.6 million individuals becoming terminally ill with the disease. However the brighter aspect is that about 40% of all cancers are preventable and many are treatable and curable if caught early enough.

The Study

The study engaged patients in writing sessions of 20 minuets and it was found that is aided them to alter the way they thought and felt about their condition. Furthermore, this changed perception actually helped them in enhancing their quality of life.

Though, writing studies have been carried out on cancer patients before, the difference with this study was that it was conducted in a normal clinic environment as against in lab settings. Further, many writing studies involved healthy college students as subjects.

Expressive writing in the study entailed patients with leukemia and lymphoma writing about their innermost thoughts and feelings about how the disease has had and effect on them. When they were surveyed after the exercise most of them (about 50%) reported thinking and feeling differently about their condition. Further, when the exercise was repeated after three weeks an even greater number reported thinking that way (approx. 54%). On the other hand simply writing about the facts didn’t seem to have an effect on thinking patterns, the researchers found.

The most promising finding however was that all the patient who had reported a change in their thought patterns about the disease also fared better on a quality of life measurement scale after they underwent the writing exercises.

Additionally, there were positive changes expressed in the patients’ writings as well. Many of the changes included feelings about their family, spirituality, work and the future. One patient wrote “Don’t get me wrong, cancer isn’t a gift, it just showed me what the gifts in my life are.”

A theory explaining the finding suggests that expressing their thoughts about their chronic medical condition causes psychological as well as physiological changes to occur. However, researchers also believe that that there’s a whole array of reasons why expressive writing benefits.

Benefits go beyond cancer

The benefits of expressive writing are not confined to cancer patients only. Several other researches on the topic have revealed that it helps in numerous medical conditions such as asthma, arthritis and pelvic pain. Other studies indicate the benefits to be an improved immune system, pain relief – what a way to relieve pain without a pain relief drug.

While writing research isn’t new and it has been conducted for the past 20 years or so, it’s now time to bring the benefits out to the patients. Not only has writing been found to be effective, it’s perhaps the most cost-effective means of coping.

Another question that arises is, whether the benefits of writing are confined only to those suffering from chronic and challenging medical conditions? Given the evidence of research carried out, it appears that simply writing about intensely positive experiences helps too. A study published by the Department of Psychological Sciences, University of Missouri found that writing about IPEs or intensely positive experiences was associated with enhanced positive mood, and it was also linked to fewer health center visits for illness. Health benefits of writing have also been echoed by in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, by University of Texas researchers James Pennebaker, and Janet Seagal.

In order to reap the benefits of writing you don’t have to wait, you can begin writing right away. You might begin with short sessions of 15 – 20 minuets and increasing the time you spend writing, as you become comfortable with the activity. If you’re attempting to journal for the first time you could have some doubts in your mind but all you have to do is to express yourself and leave aside any fears and inhibitions. With a little practice, fluidity would come to your writing by itself. The only instruments you need for it are a pen and a journal or you might even choose to blog your way to expressing yourself.

Don’T Destroy Your Search Engine Advertising With Bad Website Design

So, you’ve embarked on a search engine advertising program, maybe even SEO. Whether you’re doing this on your own or using an SEO firm, there are key points to become aware of.

If you miss these, you won’t increase conversions.

What good is a Number 1 organic search engine raking or AdWords ad listing, if you don’t have increased sales or if you don’t generate more sales leads?

Too often, we get all focused about the Internet advertising — the ads, the offer — that we don’t think the whole process through step-by-step and consider the experience our website visitors will be having.

If we did, we’d be thinking “big picture” and we would head off some of these potential problems before they occur.   

Overcoming Your Website Visitors Anxiety

When people come to our website it’s natural for them to feel anxiety. After all, look at all the cr*p on the Internet today, all the too-good-to-be-true products and services.

But when you and I offer REAL products or services, we have to overcome that concern, even if we’re treating our site visitors fairly and not making outrageous claims.

So, how can you overcome these anxieties?

1. Offer more than a 1-page website. Credible companies have multi-page websites, including Privacy Policy, Terms of Use | Service and About Us pages.

They also have more than 1 page about their products or services.

I’m surprised by the number of 1-page websites I see from companies using infomercials to advertise their products. Often, they have the purchase form right on their home page, their only page.

Websites that are only 1-page don’t seem credible. And having the purchase form right on the home page comes across as very pushy!

2. Next to any sign up or contact form buttons clearly state that you don’t sell your customers’ private information and link to your Privacy Policy page.

3. Effectively communicate what your Value Proposition is, also called your Unique Selling Proposition. If you don’t know why someone should buy your product or service versus your competitors’, now is the time to figure it out. (And by the way, based on my experience, if you don’t know this, you’re not alone, by any means.)

But our websites have to be about more than just us. They have to be about our visitors. What’s in it for THEM, to do business with us? What unique voids in the marketplace can we fill?   

As a Small Business Owner, Personally Relate to Your Site Visitors and Communicate Directly with Them

People don’t buy from websites, they buy from people! So, how can you apply this to your own website?

1. For many small businesses and solo proprietorships, their website text should speak to your visitors directly in first person.

This should be written from the voice of the owner or President. They shouldn’t use third person, institutional-sounding language, getting rid of “we” and “our”, using “I” instead, speaking first person, in an actual conversation. Don’t try to sound like you’re Microsoft!

And while your at it, be careful about overuse of words about you…whether “I”, or those words, “we”, “our” or “us”.

Check out the WeWe calculator (Google: wewe calculator). Make sure to focus on customer-focused words and NOT on words about you or your company.

2. Include your picture on your Web pages.

For a larger small business trying to make that personal connection with their website visitors, try the idea used by the nutritional supplement company Lumina. (Google: Lumina Health Contact Us)

In this execution, notice how Lumina gets you to relate to their customer service department. I still remember it was John I spoke with and that’s been over 1 year ago that I called them!

Again, people buy from other people, not from websites.

For us as small businesses, why should we sound large, pretending to be something we aren’t? And why should we run from our advantage of being small: low overhead, friendly, personal service and accountability, among other advantages.

Make Each Step in Your Marketing a Smooth Handoff from One Step to Another

If you’re running pay per click advertising, make sure your ad matches the experience your website visitor will have when they come to your landing page. Actually, this same principle applies whether you’re using search engine advertising or organic search engine optimization.

Quite often when I’m Coaching my small business owner clients or performing the service of an SEO Firm, I find the wording for their organic listing or AdWords ad says one thing and their landing page says something that doesn’t sound the same.

This causes confusion is the best case scenario. In the worst case, it causes a lack of trust. Dangerous!

We should understand our products or services. And we know what we want our visitors to do on our site.

Our potential customers may not understand either. We need to think like them, when we explain what we have to offer them and how to use our website to take advantage of what we have to offer.

And when “shifting” from one page to another, we need to hand-off from one page to another naturally and smoothly, like a car with a smooth automatic transmission.

Don’t advertise one offer in AdWords, only to have your landing page sound like it was written for another advertising offer. I see this problem a lot!

Often times, having an affordable SEO firm reviewing what you’re doing can offer easy, inexpensive fixes that can yield big improvements in your search engine advertising conversions.     

Your Action Plan

Let’s review what we’ve talked about.

First, overcome visitors anxieties by offering a multi-page website which answers questions about your company and your services or products, while inspiring confidence in your company. Effectively communicate your Value Proposition.

Second, personally relate to your site visitors. Avoid using the wrong words that may put off your site visitors. Use your picture on your Web pages.

Third, hand-off from one page on your website and one step in your selling process to another smoothly and naturally. We should understand what we want our site visitors to do, but they won’t unless we make the process really clear.

Whether your using an SEO Firm or doing the work yourself, if you take these steps, your search engine advertising plan will convert at a MUCH higher rate, when you take these steps.

Arthritis Workout Dvd

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

What exercises can I do that doesn’t involve my knees?

you see i have arthritis and im almost 15 – - 145 lbs – - 5′ 6″

i really want to lose some pounds… but i can’t do all the DVD workouts that we have bc all they are is SQUATS ANS LUNGES AND RUNNING etc etc etc

so… got any suggestions?

Idk if your just asking for legs workouts or not.

You can do rowing for cardio

For your legs, do leg lifts. Lay on your back and lift both your legs SLOWLY up and down without them touching the floor (works lower abs and part of your legs, most abs tho) Also lay on your side and lift your legs SLOWLY up and down (inside of legs) and same for one leg on your back (but might still work out more of your abs). Try squeezing a ball in between your legs for long periods of time throughout the day. Idk if that would hurt your knees but just try stuff and see.

Am I able to knit letters into a knitted cuff bracelet?

I want to knit a capital A into a cuff bracelet.I haven’t started the bracelet yet.

Here are links to several charts that can be used for knitting an alphabet letter or duplicate-stitching one after you complete the knitting. Keep in mind that any chart that is done with perfect squares in the graph is going to come out shorter than the chart, because knit stitches in stockinette are wider than they are tall.

is it ok to send a letter and with it inside the envelope a small plain leather necklace?

like this one but smaller
http://www.queenberry.com/images/blk_leather_necklace_2mm_normal.jpg

would it be a problem, it’s just that the package prices are very expensive and id have to pay a lot just to send this little necklace!

also how much would a letter cost to send from egypt to guatemala or vice versa? i never sent a letter before…
thanks in advance!

for me its pretty ok to send that necklace inside the letter, just make sure to seal that on a clean plastic or paper to avoid mess…after all it will be too costly if you let a courier make it for that small lovely thing
