The StarShine Company

In July we will be launching a new scent.  Blueberry Pomegranate is on the menu!  It’s a strong, bright scent perfect for summertime, but this one is going to be great all year round as well.  We describe it as a refreshingly tart and tangy blend of ripe blueberries and juicy red pomegranate.  Fans of pomegranate scents will definitely have to try this one, and those who aren’t huge on pomegranate, should still give it a whirl especially if you like strong fruity scents!  This one might just change your mind.

As with most of our scents, it’s available in both our Hand Dipped Incense Sticks and Cones as well as our Perfume Oils.  And if you aren’t sure about it, try it out in our large sample size before committing to a larger size!  With over 500 different scents to choose from (and new ones added regularily…) how can you go wrong?!

We even have a special listing wear you can try more than one sample at a time.  Check out our  Sample Specials.  Or if you are sure you’d like the larger size, save a little by purchasing multiples, see our Roll On Specials!

There are so many scents out there can help with minor ailments or with your mood.  Regardless of whether the scent is a synthetic scent or an essential oil, they can both have a place in helping you feel better and uplift your mood.  Here are a few suggestions:

1.  Sleep:  Having trouble sleeping?  Try a nice calming Lavender scent.

2.  Anxiety:  Nervous about that upcoming presentation?  Try some Sandalwood at bed time to help you relax, and wear your favorite Sandalwood perfume during the day to help you stay relaxed.

3.  Mild Depression:  Try sweet, floral Ylang Ylang.

4.  Concentration/Focus:  Try Peppermint, Grapefruit or Lemon scents.

5.  Invigorate:  Try Ginger or Jasmine.

6.  Set a Romantic mood:   Try Rose or Gardenia.

7.  A Memory:  Want to be comforted by Grandma’s fresh baked cookies?  Muffins?  Cakes?  Try baked goods scents like Chocolate Chip Cookie, Strawberry Cheesecake or Blueberry Muffin.  Ahhhh!

Try any of these scents, or choose from over 500 other scents to help with your mood.  And as always we offer our great scents in both our Hand Dipped Incense and our Perfume Oils.   Visit The StarShine Company today!

Chances are in summer months, your home could use a little help smelling fresh and clean.  The hotter temperatures many experience in summer months don’t help when it comes to keeping your home smelling it’s best.  And if you have pets (litter boxes, cages, etc) you might even need a little extra help!

Tip #1:  Burning Incense.  OK, OK, obviously I’m biased!  But it’s super easy to use and effective.  Use scents that will compliment the season such as florals or fruity scents, such as our Lilac or Pomegranate Citrus Incense Sticks.

Tip #2:  Cut from your garden (or buy) fresh flowers.  Not only will these help keep icky smells at bay, they add that special something to the look and feel of your home.  Place by an open window for best results.

Tip #3:  Simmer lemon slices.  Making some homemade lemonade this summer?  Place the left over slices (and a few unused ones) in a small pot filled with water on your stove top and simmer.  Got oranges or grapefruit in the house?  Toss a few slices of those in and make your home smell like a citrus salad!

Tip #4:  Essential Oils & Water.  You can add 10-40 drops (depending on bottle size) of your favorite essential oils right into water.  Shake well before spraying, and test on fabrics before use.  And as always avoid spraying onto furniture, wood, painted objects and other things that can be ruined by having either water or essential oils sitting on it.  Lavender, Tangerine, Jasmine or Rose are all excellent choices, or blend two to three oils for your own custom scent!

Try any or all of the above tips to keep your home smelling it’s freshest during warmer months.  Or maybe just open up a few windows and let some good old fashioned fresh air circulate through your home.  And as always be sure to stop by The StarShine Company for other options on keeping your home and yourself ‘Perfectly Scented’!

This scent is crazy awesome.  I don’t think our description does it justice!  We describe Tamarind & Ginger as a delightful blend of Fresh Grapefruit, Sweet Orange, Tropical Papaya and Guava brilliantly enhance exotic Tamarind, Ginger, Nutmeg and Cinnamon with just a subtle dash of Vanilla.

If you like spicy yet fruity scents you *MUST* try this one and remember it’s only around for a limited time, unless you let us know how much you love it, then we’ll consider adding it to our line permanently!

Try Tamarind & Ginger in any of our products today!

Visit The StarShine Company Today!  We are on Etsy too, The StarShine Company.

Here at The StarShine Company we are starting a new program.  Each month in 2010 (or unless we stop doing it) we’ll feature a new scent that will only be available during that month and only while supplies last.

We’ll try to find unique scents and who knows if they are exceptional we may just have to add them to the permanent line, so if you try one and absolutely love it, be sure to let us know!

So, to start things off, for the month of February, we are featuring “Coriander Rose“.   Our Coriander Rose is best described as a unique scent creation containing Coriander, Yellow Rose, Tuberose, Gardenia and Rosewood.  It is absolutely beautiful and feminine.

Coriander Rose is available in both our Hand Dipped Incense and our Perfume Oils.

**UPDATE**:  We’ll be keeping this one until it’s gone!  So check it out only a limited supply on hand!!
