Hey Everybody,

I have my own retail line of jewelry, decor and more! It's just starting out and I've been making things as time allows but I have been having a lot of fun doing it.

Under the book online now section of my website you will see a new section called
"The Blessed Hippy Shop". I will be listing some items here for purchase as they relate to my massage practice!

So far, I've listed two items. Introducing my newly redesigned line of essential oil roll-ons! You can design your own scent or purchase one of my pre-made blends! The blends are based off of the ones that I have found most effective treating myself for over 20 years and my clients the past nine years.

These are all made to order. You can pick up at my office or I am happy to ship them to you for a flat fee of $4.99 per shipment. Gift wrapping is also available at my office or to ship for $1 additional per item.

The base oil in each bottle is apricot kernel oil. This is a light non-greasy oil that works well for all skin types especially those with sensitive skin. It is anti-inflammatory and contains fatty acids as well as vitamins A, B, C and E. It moisturizes the skin, stimulates collagen production and works as an anti-oxidant.

The pre-made blends are as follows:

Headache & Sinus Relief: apricot kernel oil, peppermint, eucalyptus, cinnamon, spearmint.

Muscle & Joint Pain Relief: apricot kernel oil, rosemary, pumpkin seed oil, peppermint, clary sage, bergamot, patchouli

Relax and Zen: apricot kernel oil, lavender, cedarwood, bergamot, frankincense

I am also very excited and honored to be nominated for the third year in a row for the "Best of Long Island". This year I am nominated for best massage AND best holistic wellness. Thank you all so very much. I've been a licensed massage therapist since 2011 but decided to start my own practice three years ago. I did it all grassroots without any starting capital, savings or investment. I was lucky to be able to find a beautiful space to rent. I have invested a lot of my income back into my business for whatever equipment, supplies and tools I have needed. I do all of my marketing, sales, web design, bookkeeping, etc. Basically, I do it all on my own so it just means so very much to be recognized for helping others. Helping people improve their quality of life and just feel better is a gift. Knowing that I had a part in making someone's day or life better is very rewarding. I just love what I do. So thank you again.

It would be fantastic to win this year but being nominated in TWO categories is truly a win in itself. Voting is open now through December 15th. You can vote once per day in each of my categories. I am listed under "Health, Wellness & Beauty" in the "Massage" and "Holistic Wellness" categories. Thank you again.
