Joy In January – Green Sun Giveaway
Essential Oils, Great Deals & Discounts, Healthy Living 18 Comments »The shorter days of winter may look dark and dreary with their gray skies, but they also can also be the cause of what’s known as Seasonal Affective Disorder. Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD can affect people anywhere, but especially those in high latitudes where the sun barely peeks above the horizon dugin the winter. Symptoms include depressed mood, irritability, hopelessness, anxiety, loss of energy, and social withdrawal. We believe that fragrance can effect one’s mood and emotions in an uplifting way.
To help bring joy to someone in a dark time in their life, I am offering a giveaway of a bottle of my appropriately titled natural perfume oil, Green Sun. This is my citrus centered blend with green and yellow mandarins, grapefruit, kaffir lime leaf, ginger, lavender and petitgrain with a soft amber base.
The Joy in January project is a 3 day event with giveaways across the Natural Perfumers Guild participating blogs. Please visit all the participating blogs and share them with your friends in support of the bloggers and bringing more awareness to SAD.

Hi Stephanie:
What a great post! I didn’t know about your Green Sun perfume and no I know I have to try it. Thanks for taking part in Joy in January, and I hope your newsletter recipients know about it, I’ll bet they’d love to comment in the giveaway.
I have a problem with SAD and I use light therapy and vitamin D and fish oil, I love perfume, so I’m very interested in trying out aromatherapy as a was to relieve the symptoms of SAD. Thanks for your draw and for your generosity.
A beautiful blog site – nicely done. I love the combinations of your “Green Sun” perfume. It sounds very uplifting and would love to try it!
Hi Stephanie,
Green Sun sounds lovely. I’m a big fan of kaffir lime and find it very invigorating! Best to you and congrats on spreading joy in January!

I love the sound of Green Sun – all those lovely citruses and ginger too!
Hi, and thanks so much for hosting this awesome giveaway opportunity. I am a big fan of ginger in fragrance and ginger with citrus, so this perfume sounds lovely. I live in the lower great lakes region of the US and we are overcast for weeks on end this time of year, with lots of snow and cold. Any relief is welcome!
Ooolala…SAD days of winter will disappear with just the hint of “Green Sun”. I can almost smell it through my computer… Thanks for posting. Glad I found you via Anya and my friend Nina at Happy Herbs Soap! Please include my name in your drawing! Here in the Northeast U.S., we are finally in the deep freeze! Brrr…Citrus=Sun:)
Green Sunshine! how fitting! a citrus amber.. like a glowing ball of light illuminating the skin and the mind.
i’m so on board!
excited to get to know another natural perfumer! thank you for the blog and the generous participation!
Great blog, and Thanks for participating in “Joy in January” The green sun sounds delightful. Yellow mandarin is one of my favorite citrus notes.
SAD is usually triggered by a lack of sunlight and physical activity.
There is no reason however to let the winter gloom get to you and dampen your spirits. Scientific research has shown that people suffering from seasonal depression are relatively more sensitive to smells and respond well to the aromas of essential oils. One of them is :
Ylang – A sensual scent that is relaxing and mildly sedative – especially useful if you have been battling stress and mental fatigue.
other is Jasmine– The exotic floral aroma of Jasmine spreads cheer and freshness. Take a whiff to rev up your energy levels.
Ginger is one of my go-tos in winter, I’m always craving the warmth from ginger tea. I never thought to dose myself with it in scent as well. I’m curious how ginger melds with the citruses in your Green Sun, sounds great.

Thank you so much for participating in the Joy in January project!
Green Sun sounds like a dream come true in a winter. The citruses can be very uplifting and pairing it with a nice spicy ginger and a warm amber base (my favorite in winter) it awesome.
With much appreciation,

That is such a gorgeous sounding blend. It does sound just like sunshine in a bottle.
Hi,
I have Bipolar Disorder so I have definitely experienced Seasonal Affective Disorder. Although it’s not my main diagnosis, I can relate to being depressed through the winter… it just seems to drag on!! It’s no fun. But, therapy such as Aromatherapy, Light Therapy, Talk Therapy, and getting involved in group outings/ group meetings discussing or doing fun things helps tremendously. It is important for a person going through this Disorder to seek help, and remember that they are not alone… because it can get better.
