Not too long ago I told you about a new web site I had come across called The Giving Essence. Diane has started a new business this year, and she's really excited for you to learn about her product. She has sent me two of her products to try out and tell you about. I was thrilled to see that one of them was the Peppermint Stick. Diane only uses the best essential oils so just opening the bottle will start to chase away the tension of the holidays. Peppermint Stick is a roll-on in a lovely dark green frosted glass bottle, and it's just the right size for your purse. I think you'll like having this one handy when you're caught in a traffic jam or in a long line at the mall. I liked the cooling sensation it brought to my temples. I think you've got a winner with this one, Diane!
Diane also sent me Bayberry Spice Essential Spray. A quick spritz in the air brings forth many layers of fragrance beginning with bayberry, followed by cinnamon and sweet orange. I gave my family room a spray and it stayed in the air for quite a while. It was also great to spray right before company walked through the back door for that fresh, wintertime aroma. I loved this one,too, Diane!
The Giving Essence also offers essential oils, dried herbs, and lip balms and promises more to come.
If you're interested in finding out more about these essential oil products, click on the link at the top of the sidebar.
Now here's the best part, Diane has authorized me to host a giveaway. I will be offering 1 Essential Spray (fragrance of your choice) and 1 Peppermint Stick to one winner.

I like the lemon essential oil as it would make my room smell great.
There are so many things I would probably like at The Giving Essence. What a neat store! My favorite thing would probably be the Peppermint Essential Oil. It sounds like a fresh, natural fragrance!
Thanks! -Cat

Love anything lavender, it smells great!
I like the Spearmint Lip Balm, in fact, I like all of them. I use lip balm a lot. cdziuba@aol.com
I would love to try the Essential spray Home for the Holidays, I can just imagine the wonderful aroma it would bring when you spray it into your living room, thanks for the fantastic giveaway
Spearmint Lip Balm
Since I'm prone to migrain haedaches I would like to try the Peppermint Stick Headache & Stress Eraser. I cannot take some of the migrain medicines because they make me very sick and the head on stuff burns my sensitive skin. Thank you for the chance.
I'm all for Bayberry to have the holiday aroma in the house and then the sweet orange too because it will lift your spirits.
I would love to try Bayberry Spice-nice scent for the holidays!

I love the Lavender Mint Lip Balm because I love both the scent of mint and lavender and my dry lips need lip balm often.
I could use the Breathe Deep, especially this time of year.
lilacbutterfly [at] earthlink.net
I like the Orange (Sweet) Essential Oil.
rebbi511 at peoplepc.com
My favorite is the Lavender Essential Oil because I hear it has soothing powers!
I subscribed to your newsletter!
I think the essential sprays sound lovely. The Home for the Holidays as described will bring the Holiday Season right into your home.......Spruce and Vanilla.....lovely!
I like the Cinnamon Tea Essential Spray, I would also like the Lemongrass Lip Balm, sounds very unusual!
Honeslty what your giving away would be perfect, I work full time, go to school full time and manage to maintain some normalcy...i could use this!

I'm on a lavender kick, so I'd love to try the lavender mint lip balm!

spearmint lip balm
I think my favourite (today) would be the Breathe Deep Essential Spray! Hubby has been sneezing for over a year but hasn't gotten sick. He also has no allergies. He's known as the Sneezemaster now!
The Breathe Deep may give him (and us as men sneeze quite differently than women) a bit of relief!
Thanks

I love the smell of Lemon Essential Oil so I'd have to say that's my fave. MMMMMmmmmm I can almost smell it now! Thanks for the great contest!
I've also subscribed, thanks!
I like the Breathe Deep spray. I love the scent of eucalyptus. I think it would also help to breathe a little better; at least phychologically -- mom used to rub Vicks on my chest and that always helped me sleep.
I subscribed. I really like the music I am hearing from this site.
The peppermint stick sounds wonderful. Peppermint has been one of my favorite scents (and flavors!) for years, but it's only recently that I've been hearing about it's helpful qualities.
greenyak [at] yahoo [dot] com
I love the lip balms, specifically the lavender mint. It's hard to find good quality lip balms for those of us with dry lips and lavender mint has been my favorite scent for the longest time. I'm happy to see someone makes a lip balm out of it! That's going on my Christmas list this year for sure.
jebuell(at)gmail(dot)com
The Peppermint does sound great, especially fun for the Christmas season. My favorite though is probably the Cinnamon Tea Essential Spray. I've got a thing for cinnamon.
You've got another subscriber & that subscriber is me!
i'd love to try the mint lip balm - my lips are so chapped this time of year!
autumn398 (at) yahoo.com
My lips are so chapped. The Lavender Mint Lip Balm sounds wonderful. I love lip balms that make your lips tingle a bit.
I would like the Lavender Essential Oil, I love the smell of LavendaR!
I subscribed!
the Breathe Deep essential spray sounds perfect for me. there's nothing worse than that groggy, "sick" feeling in the house when you're holed up during the cold season. I just moved to Portland, Oregon from Texas and my allergies are in a tailspin!
thedizdar(at)gmail(dot)com
My wife loves anyhting lavender and whatever my wife wants she gets.
I love the smell of lavendar essential oil. Reminds me of lilacs.

I'm intrigued by the breathe deep. So i'll select that even though I haven't smelled it.
the breathe deep srpay sounds like something i would want to try
the lemon essential oil would freshen up some rooms
I just visited the Giving Essence, Jane Marie, and I have to admit I don't know which product to choose! The peppermint stick sounds like a novel idea and would make a good stocking stuffer for my daughter-in-laws, both busy working moms.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, Jane Marie!
The Essential spray Home for the Holidays sounds great to me! I would love to have company come over and think my house smells like Christmas!
I like breathe deep, because I like its smell.

The spearmint lip balm would be my pick :)

Hey! Just dropping in because I finally had time to look over the products. I think the orange or either the lemon essential oils look good to me. I love the smell of citrus, and I actually have an air spray I get from the health food store that's orange scented. It's just so fresh and clean. I'm sure either of those would be delightful. So if there's a drawing, please enter me! :-)
Thanks so much!
XO,

Christina - xristya@rock.com - My favorite Essential Spray is Cinnamon Tea (I'm imagining the peppy scent right now)!
The essential oils are my favorite, I love that they are simply and purely oil. This way, I can use them for a multitude of things.
The website is so sweet with all the little(fairy) doors.

Hi Jane Marie
I just wanted to let you know I won't be posting thankful Thursday for Dec. I'm only home 7 days all month! Hope you have a great week.
Hugs, Rhondi
I see lots of goodies I like, but because I happen to be feeling the spirit of the season right now, the "Home for the Holidays" essential spray is most appealling.

I'd love to try the Breathe Deep spray.
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
My favorite item at The Giving Essence is Breathe Deep because I'm a fan of eucalyptus to help ease the sniffles.
The Bayberry Spice Essential Spray also sounds wonderful because not only do I associate bayberry with the holidays, but it's a scent I enjoy year-round.
My favorite is the Home for the Holidays spray. We don't use a real Christmas tree any more because of fire safety concerns and I think this spray would give that Christmas smell I miss from not having a real tree. It also has a little vanilla in it which is my favorite scent.
I would want to try the Lemongrass lip balm. Yum!
I think the Breathe Deep Essential Spay sounds great. I think it would be handy to have around especially during this cold Season:)

I'm going with the Lemongrass lip stuff. I just love the smell of Lemongrass, and my lips need help...always.

Bayberry Spice for sure. Does it smell anything close to Brandied Fruit Home Spray?? Home For The Holidays would be another choice.
What a wonderful giveaway. First time to visit. I am very new to blogging.
