from The New York times - Museum of smells

We thoroughly enjoyed this scent exploration from the readers of the New York times. Maybe you will too - "The restaurant critic Tejal Rao recently created a “personal smell museum” of her life in Los Angeles, cataloging the aromas she encountered in her home and her office, the scent of vanilla she detected when driving past a commercial bakery. I asked her why she thought a smell museum was such a vital way to document her life. “Every time you notice a smell — fresh bread, your best friend’s house, a wet dog, garlic frying in butter — it means volatile particles in the air have entered your body and, just for a moment, become a part of you,” she...

OF LOVE on self love

We are all here together on this earth so why not show up for ourselves and take care of each other? This takes so many forms and can be as minute as a gentle gaze saying " I see you". This is love. Learning about the “self” part of love has been a deep and meaningful healing that continues.

Invisible Stories

I was thrilled to be featured on theinvisiblestories.com in Tracy Wan's series of interviews called "The new noses" - " The new noses is a series on independent perfumers who came upon the craft the unconventional way: who aren't french men, heirs to perfume empires, or trained in prestigious fragrance schools. Today's conversation is with Josée Gordon, the self taught perfumer and founder of Vancouver based perfume and skincare brand, reassembly." https://www.theinvisiblestories.com/stories/2018/the-new-noses-josee-gordon

Stress and our health

The holiday season is filled with parties, family, merriment, champagne and STRESS! Stress isn’t always a bad thing, in primitive times it was what got us up and out when a sabretooth tiger was knocking at our cave door, but the stress we experience now is much duller, less urgent and constant. There are many aspects of our life that cause stress, some are within our control and others are outside unfortunately our brain just isn’t that great at compartmentalizing our stressors. Our brain and hormones react the same to physical, mental, environmental and perceived stress. Because of this the best way to think about our body’s capacity for stress is to imagine a glass, and of adding drops of...
