Good Luck!
NPG Perfumers, Suppliers and Associates want to bring joy to those suffering from the “winter blues” by having a blogathon giveaway of products with uplifting scents. Some who live in the Northern Hemisphere suffer from SAD - seasonal affective disorder.
SAD is a recognized disorder characterized by depression, among other symptoms.*(see below for details) Light therapy is the most common treatment, and the Guild feels the need to share the knowledge that fragrance can also be uplifting and pull people out of depression. The NPG wants to include fragrance therapy and our members will host a three-day blog event to reach out to those who suffer from SAD.
It's going to be a giveaway bonanza for the public, selfless and kindness from our members who wish to share their brightest, sunniest fragrant products with the public. Please note:

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH LAVENDER
By: Debra Mauldin, Certified Aromatherapist
It's that time of year, again. People start to feel bad, lethargic, irritable, and depressed. Many gain weight. For some people the winter months are merely an annoyance. For others, it can be a major problem. Major Depression, Bipolar Disorder, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects twice as many females as males.
Aromatherapy can help you beat those ‘winter blues’. A growing body of scientific research supports the fact that women react more strongly to aromatherapy. Scent has a profound effect on the emotions. The limbic system processes both odor and emotions, therefore, aroma and emotions are inseparable. Essential oils can cleanse, release, and balance our thoughts and emotions. Aromatherapy affects the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our individuality.
Essential Oil of Lavender is one of the safest and most widely used oils in aromatherapy. Lavendula officinalis is a wonderful oil for depression. It has a steadying influence on the psyche. Lavender’s balancing effect calms uncontrolled emotions, removes indecisiveness and emotional conflict, and helps to bring the feelings under conscious control. It brings a sense of rationality to the conscious mind.
