Livingston Library Celebrates Makers Day

By Maryanne ChristianoMistretta undreds came out on Sat., March 25, to the Livingston Library to participate in Makers Day, a statewide celebration of maker culture. New Jersey Makers Day is an independent non-profit corporation with the ultimate goal of enhancing community engagement and facilitating connections among N.J. residents by exploring new and interesting opportunities for community-wide education, entrepreneurship and hands-on learning experiences. While held on two days at most participating sites – more than 300 museums, schools, colleges, libraries makerspaces, businesses

and other community locations, Livingston Library participated on only one day and had about 300 people come throughout the day. “What a great turn out we had,” said Technology Librarian Joe Emery. All projects are STEM – science, technology, engineering and math. But Emery said they like to add art, “So we say STEAM,” he said. The main idea is to create something. “Let the kids work on the project and deviate and test new ideas,” Emery said. A variety of interactive activities included robotics, paper crafts, circuitry and more. Activities were designed for grades fourth and up. Parents were invit-

ed to assist younger children. This is the second year the Livingston Library hosted Makers Day, which began in 2015. And what made this year different is that it’s the first time they had teenage volunteers helping with the program. Emery said, “It was a highlight for me seeing them have the opportunity to serve their community.” Emery’s position at the library is fairly new as he started Sept. 2015. He’s always blown away by how many people come to Makers Day. Emery says the main reason the library participates in Makers Day is to get people to think of the library as a destination for these types of things. continued on page 4

Chamber Explores Identity Theft

Makers Day... continued from page 3 “Make the library a technology center of the community,” he said. “We feel like this is a big part of it, people like to come for these hands-on experiences. People can take home something too.” Other projects the library offers that Livingston residents can borrow and take home includes a kit called Snap Circuits, which patrons can borrow with your library card. There are also robotics and engineering kits where people can build things with different materials, like straws. There’s also paper craft kits patrons can borrow. And a sewing machine with sup-

plies. In conclusion, Emery said, “Thank you to the community for coming to the event; and thank you to the teen volunteers, and volunteers from Livingston Lancers robotics team. We’ll definitely do it again next year.” New Jersey’s Makers Day was originally organized by Doug Baldwin, Piscataway Public Library; Ralph Bingham, Gloucester County Library System; Mo Donohue, Piscataway Public Library; Dave Franz, Hillside Public Library; Kate Jaggers, Piscataway Public Library; James Keehbler, Piscataway Public Library; and Allen Mc-

Ginely, Piscataway Public Library. The program’s initiation was made possible in particular from the support of LibraryLinkNJ, the New Jersey Library Cooperative. Partners include: MakerStudio@GCLS, ManufacutureNJ, Make It Yourself (MiY), and Makers Space. Supporting Partners include: BELS School Library Consortium, Bergen County’s Makerspace, Fair Use Building and Research (FUBAR) Labs, Girl Scouts of Central & Southern New Jersey, and LibraryLinkNJ.

Troop proceeds from the cookie program are often used to pay for community service projects like beautification plans or collection drives, in addition to girl program activities and trips. A variety of cookies are being sold at $4 per box, including Thin Mints, DoSiDos, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Samoas, and Savannah Smiles. Gluten-free Toffee-tastic cookies and the Girl Scout S’mores will sell for $5 per box, due to higher production costs – but these cookies in particular are in high demand this year and may not be available at all booth locations. Girl Scouts also continues its movement-wide celebration of the 100th season of Girl Scouts sell-

ing cookies. A century ago, girls started participating in what would evolve into the largest entrepreneurial training program for girls in the world: the Girl Scout Cookie Program, through which girls learn the essential skills they need to

become effective leaders, manage finances, and gain self-sufficiency, and confidence in handling money. To commemorate this banner year for the organization, the highly-anticipated Girl Scout S’mores cookies are now available, joining

classics such as Thin Mints and Trefoils. To learn more about the history of Girl Scout cookies and the Girl Scout Cookie Program, or to join or volunteer, visit www.gsnnj.org.

April Begins Garage Story Sunday Talks At Thomas Edison’s Glenmont Estate

by Michele Guttenberger pecial ranger-led talks of Thomas Edison’s Glenmont garage begin every Sunday, every two weeks, through June 25. If wondering if Thomas Edison saw the future in electric cars, questions will be quickly answered with a visit to this famous West Orange inventor’s personal garage. Many Tesla car aficionados make the pilgrimage to the first electric charging station garage. Al’s Garage, his childhood nickname, is the steampunk time capsule of the electric car’s future for American suburban living. It is story telling of interesting developments conceived in this garage that journeys from car bat-

teries to Edison’s poured concrete dream homes. Like many successful businessmen, Edison’s own domestic domain was his garage. He built it in 1908. It was a fixture that he designed and he oversaw the construction himself. Edison’s garage was his own unique creation, because it was the prototype for his new cement construction venture. This home project helped him master the technique of constructing mass-produced, poured-cement houses using iron molds. His garage and the original Yankee stadium came from the same cement poured by his own Edison Portland Cement. Today’s news is about battery operated cars and

providing a charging station for them. Edison already had this technology over some 100 years ago, in his own garage. He owned electric cars that used Edison batteries. Edison invented the alkaline storage battery in 1901 and spent years perfecting it for use in automobiles. The garage was the place to service these cars. Edison also had a gasoline filling pump in his garage for his 1922 Model T Ford – a gift from his good friend Henry Ford. The most interesting feature of Edison’s garage is the turntable to help park these vehicles. A car could rest on the concrete turntable and a hand crank rotated it to a desired parking

position. The driver never had to struggle backing the car into a spot, the turntable did the navigating. Few residential garages today can boast having this feature. Spend a Sunday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.,

or 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. learning about Thomas Edison’s poured concrete garage. There is no additional cost to visit the garage apart from the regular NPS entrance fee. To view the awesome collection of Edison’s electric and gas powered

NCJW Hosts Author Of A Holocaust Survivor’s Story Of Survival

be Peck is the only living Holocaust survivor of an entire town in Poland. He is the only person left in this world who can provide a firsthand account of the atrocities committed by the Nazis against his family, friends and contemporaries. Maya Ross, the author of “Abe-vs-Adolf: The True Story of Holocaust Survivor Abe Peck,” will recount his astonishing story of survival at the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), West Morris Section’s Personal Giving Thank-You Brunch on Sun., April 30, beginning at 10 a.m., at a private home in Denville. The event is open to everyone who makes a do-

as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps. Robbed of his teenage years, with no parents to guide or care for him, Abe somehow survived starvation, disease, beatings, shootings, forced labor, death marches and prolonged imprisonment. If asked how he did it, how he defied death by beating the most abysmal of odds, he will simply say that he was lucky. But was it luck, or was it an indomitable will to live? By detailing his firsthand experience of the horrors of discrimination and genocide, through Ross’s book, he fervently hopes that subsequent generations will learn from the past and vow, “Never again.” Ross is a fiction writer

nation to the NCJW, West Morris Section’s Personal Giving campaign. Donations may be made by contacting Dorothy Cohen at dorothy_irvingcohen@ msn.com. Personal Giving is coordinated by Dorothy Cohen of Denville and Anne Gorman of Rockaway. Before Nazi Germany targeted European Jews for persecution and then ultimately annihilation in its insidious plan called the Final Solution of the Jewish Question, Peck had a wonderful childhood. But in March 1940, at only 15 years old, Peck was snatched from his home and family and forced to spend the next five unimaginably horrific years

who met Holocaust survivor Peck while serving on the board of a not-for-profit philanthropic organization. She was so fascinated by his tale of courage and survival that she set out to write his true life story. Her talk at the NCJW, West Morris Section’s Personal Giving Thank-you Brunch promises to be eminently memorable. The National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is a grassroots organization of volunteers and advocates who turn progressive ideals into action.

Two Kids Foundation Looks To Help More Children With Cancer

ore than $19K was raised Fri., Feb. 24, at the Two Kids Foundation Winter Gala and Tricky Tray event held at the Brooklake Country Club in Florham Park. About 250 people attended to support the non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to families of children suffering from cancer or other diseases. The foundation raised money through charity events and donations. Last year, the organization donated to nine kids in 2016. The next big event is its annual Car Show set for Sun., Aug. 6 at the Horseshoe Lake Recreation Complex in Succasunna. The organization which began 19 years ago is run by 100 percent volunteers. Nineteen years ago,

founder Arnold “Woody” DeTrolio and his wife sat in a hospital room with their son, who had just been diagnosed with Leukemia. For the next several years their ordinary life had been turned upside down. During this time he was overwhelmed by the volunteers and hospital staff at Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC). They made their families trying times easier to bear. Woody said to himself “If I ever get the chance, I would like to give back and help others who are going through their own trying times.” While in the hospital, Woody and his son would talk for hours about restoring his son’s car, a 1967 G.T.O. he bought before becoming ill. As the weeks and months went by in the hospital, they would look at books and magazines

on car parts. They would talk about the day that his son would be able to come home and restore his G.T.O. That wonderful day came two and a half years later. That is when Woody put the two ideas together cars and giving back. His son’s love for cars led to the idea of having a car show fundraiser. In 2003 they hosted the first annual Whippany “Two Kids” Car Show on the grounds of the Birchwood Manor and it was a success. In 2005 the Two Kids Foundation became an established non-profit 501c corporation. In 2017, the organization plans to continue building awareness and helping more children with additional events. Visit www.2kidsfoundation. org to learn more about the organization, upcoming events and how to help.

Did You Know?

any homeowners have lofty goals for their homes. Such plans may include extensive renovations or even additions. While many of these projects create beautiful changes in a home, it’s important to consider the impact that renovations can have on property value before beginning a project. Many home improvement projects do not add as much value as homeowners may think they do. In fact, some homeowners “overbuild” for their neighborhoods. This means the amount of money invested in im-

provements can likely never be recuperated because the house value simply exceeds those around by too much money. To avoid overbuilding, homeowners can ask themselves several questions before beginning a renovation project. • Will my house be the largest house in the neighborhood? Larger homes tend to have a lower price per square foot, so you may not want to improve to this extent. • Will the house blend with others in the area? If your house will stick out like a sore thumb, it will

detract from its own value and could impact the value of other homes in the area. • Have I examined the cost vs. value of the project? Many home improvement resources analyze the cost of a project versus the overall value of that project with regard to property value. For example, a $100,000 basement remodel may not add $100,000 to the value of the home in the event you choose to sell down the line. It’s important to know which projects provide the best return on investment.

First we’re up and then we’re down; it feels like I am walking on a tightrope,” says Sandra Ramos, founder and director of Shelter Our Sisters (SOS) and the first domestic violence shelter in North America. A recent newspaper article was able to draw attention to the needs of her organization after a Livingston resident came to visit the shelter and offered to donate to SOS, an organization that is hands on and where the funds go directly

to the needs of the people they were serving. He also saw that the mission was worthwhile as he knew that his recent financial donation would allow SOS to open a new thrift store. The store, which was on target to open next month, was also going to assist in establishing an independent source of funding for the women at the shelter. Meanwhile, plans are on hold as surmounting charges on the water/sewage system are putting SOS’s daily operations in

jeopardy if the balance of $21,000 is not paid. SOS is seeking financial help and is requesting donations. All donations go to SOS, which is currently run by dedicated long term volunteers.

Recognizing Separation Anxiety In Dogs

ogs that appear stressed or nervous when their owners leave the house or even the room may be experiencing a common problem known as separation anxiety. Many dogs become apprehensive when their owners are out of view, and such apprehension can be very tough on the dogs. The Humane Society of the United States says severe separation anxiety may be exhibited by extreme behavior problems and destructive actions. Dogs may engage in destructive chewing, excessive barking that annoys neighbors, digging or scratching at windows, breaking out of cages or enclosures, or urination and defecation, even among house-trained dogs. Cases of separation anxiety may be simulated or true, according to professional dog expert Cesar Millan. Some attention-seeking dogs learn the behavior, knowing it will garner attention — even if it’s for the wrong reasons.

True separation anxiety is a genuinely stressful event for dogs. When treating dogs with separation anxiety, the ASPCA advises that owners should aim to resolve the dog’s underlying anxiety and help it to grow accustomed to being alone for long periods of time. This can begin through early socialization as a puppy. Try these techniques. • While it’s tempting to take a new puppy with you everywhere or lavish constant attention on the dog, this could be setting you up for problems later on. Help the dog feel secure by not being the constant center of entertainment. Reinforce lessons that the dog will have to busy itself with toys from time to time. • Many dog-related problems result from ill-established leadership roles in a house. Dogs follow a pack mentality, and it’s important for pet owners to constantly reinforce their role as pack leader so that the dog does not try to push boundaries.

Knowing the pack order can relieve some of the dog’s stress. • Exercise may help reduce anxiety. Tired dogs are less likely to grow bored and more likely to find contentment by sleeping instead of being destructive. Exercise, discipline and then affection are the common mantras of dog trainers. • Don’t make a fuss when coming or going. This way the dog doesn’t associate your leaving with a big deal, nor your coming home as something that is the pinnacle of his day. Be calm and consistent, and only reward desirable behavior. • Provide comforting items, like worn clothes that smell like you. Also, train the dog to recognize that a particular word or action signals your eventual return. Talk to a vet if separation anxiety has gotten out of control. Temporary administering of a sedative may help pets and their owners as the dogs continues to be trained.

pring is eagerly anticipated, as many people look forward to enjoying the great outdoors once more. Spring is also a special time of year for practicing Christians. Beginning on Ash Wednesday and lasting 40 weekdays until the arrival of Easter Sunday, the Lenten season is a very important time of year for Christians. During Lent, Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, self-denial, and spiritual discipline. While the Bible does not reference Lent, the practice of observing Lent has become a standard. The following focuses on each of the special days of this church season

The Season Of Lent And Easter

as they pertain to Western Christianity (Eastern Orthodox churches observe Lent somewhat differently). Ash Wednesday The Day of Ashes commemorates the repentance of sin. On Ash Wednesday, Christians have ashes placed on their foreheads in the shape of a cross in recognition of their need to repent. Many churches host Ash Wednesday services, and those who receive the ashes are not only reminded of their mortality and sinfulness, but also of the opportunity for absolution. Christians typically fast on Ash Wednesday, though some simply abstain from eating meat. Palm Sunday

On what is now called “Palm Sunday,” Jesus Christ rode a donkey into Jerusalem while villagers welcomed him and waved palm branches. This is mentioned in each of the Biblical Gospels and occurs a week before His subsequent resurrection. Jesus possibly rode a donkey rather than a horse as a sign of peace, as a war-waging king might ride a horse. The “Passion of the Christ” is typically read during Palm Sunday masses. Holy Thursday Holy Thursday is sometimes referred to as “Covenant Thursday,” “Maundy Thursday” or “Thursday of Mysteries.” Holy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with

the apostles. According to Catholic News Agency, Holy Thursday might be one of the most important, complex and profound days of celebration in the Catholic Church. Holy Thursday celebrates the institution of the Eucharist as the true body and blood of Jesus Christ and the institution of the sacrament of the priesthood. Good Friday Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jesus was

condemned by his peers as King Herod and Pontius Pilate had found him not guilty of his crimes. But crowds were enraged, and Pilate reluctantly ordered his crucifixion rather than face a mass riot. Holy Saturday Holy Saturday marks the final day of the Triduum, or the three days preceding Easter Sunday. Scripture states that Holy Saturday was when Jesus’ body was placed in the tomb. Easter Sunday

A festive and celebratory day for Christians, Easter Sunday is a time for sharing the good news of Jesus’ resurrection. His body is discovered missing from the tomb, and Jesus appears to his followers again showing proof that He is alive. Typically, Easter Sunday is one of the most well-attended Sunday services for Christians. It also is a day to spend with family, and many families share large meals to mark the end of the Lenten season.

Take A Mindful Approach to Fighting Spring Allergens bed can help you relax and wind down while also washing away any unwanted pollens still stuck in your hair or on your skin. Freshen Fabrics. Clothing, towels and bed linens – items you come in contact with multiple times a day – can trap pollens, dust mite matter, allergens and dander. It’s important to not only rinse these items but to use a detergent that removes allergens and is gentle on skin, like all free clear liquid and mightypacs laundry detergent for sensitive skin. The liquid detergent removes 99 percent of everyday and seasonal allergens, including the top spring allergens: tree and grass pollen, and is the No. 1 recommended detergent brand by dermatologists,

allergists and pediatricians for sensitive skin. To view the full line of laundry products, visit allfreeclear. com. Ingredients Matter. Taking preventative measures against spring allergens can start in a surprising place: the refrigerator. While most people think about treating allergens in their homes and on their clothes, they tend to forget that a good diet is also a good defense. Avoiding aged, pickled or fermented foods like blue cheese and kimchi with naturally occurring histamines can help prevent coughing, sneezing and itching triggered by spring allergens. Instead, look to boost your meals with ingredients found in the Mediterranean Diet, such as fresh fruits

and vegetables like apples and broccoli as well as nuts and fatty fishes that have essential vitamins and nutrients known to fight allergy symptoms. Give Pets a Makeover. Your furry friend may be one of the biggest culprits for sneaking allergens and pollen into the house, so this season make sure to give pets twice-a-week baths to wash out dander and pollen. Remember to also wash pet beds and chew toys that are thrown around the yard to help prevent allergens from being transported into and throughout your home. With these four steps to help protect your home and family against spring allergens, you can start enjoying a healthy, clean spring.

ecks add character and functionality to a home, increasing outdoor entertaining space and oftentimes improving the resale value of a home. Homeowners have various options when choosing decking materials, but one such option, composite decking, is growing in popularity. Decks used to primarily be made from pressure-treated lumber. While lumber remains a popular material, more and more homeowners are opting for composite decking products. As anyone who has pressure-washed, stained and sealed wood decks can attest, such spaces require lots of upkeep to look new year after year. Composite decks require much less maintenance, making them

Composite Decking Can Be A Smart Choice

highly attractive to homeowners who would rather spend time using their decks instead of maintaining them. Composite decking is any type of decking material that is formulated from different recycled materials. The majority of these materials include hard plastic and wood shavings of pulp. Unlike wood, which can fade, crack and rot, composite decking, which has been available for roughly a decade, does not degrade quickly and requires very little upkeep. Available in a variety of wood colors to match outdoor decor, composite decks also can feature artificial wood grains to make them look similar to wood planks. Although composite decks are not completely

impervious to the elements, with some occasional washing to impede mold growth and new technology that has improved stain-resistance, many of the pitfalls of other materials can be avoided with composite decks. Composite decking fits in with eco-friendly lifestyles. The planks are made from recycled materials that would normally end up in landfills. Products from Trex, a popular composite decking manufacturer, are made from 1.5 million shopping bags and wood mill waste. As composite decks do not rot away and are long-lasting, they will not need to be replaced frequently, which is another eco-friendly benefit. When comparing composite decking brands, look

he old saying goes that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” If you’re new to caring for a lawn, you may not know that this is especially true when it comes to your yard. If left untreated, weeds can weaken or even destroy a healthy stand of grass. These simple lawn care tips, courtesy of Bayer Advanced lawn and garden expert Lance Walheim, can help you ward off weeds and enjoy healthy, green grass year-round. Start with the basics. Grow turf that is so thick and strong, weeds can’t find an inch to take root by watering and fertilizing properly. Watering too much or too little encourages weeds. Water deeply (6-8 inches)

Weed Prevention Tips For Lawn Care Novices

and allow the lawn to partially dry before you water again. Before fertilizing, read the label carefully to ensure that you have the correct timing. You may also want to conduct a soil test so you know you’re applying the correct blend of nutrients for the soil quality in your region. Local cooperative extension offices are useful resources to help you get started. Also beware of bare spots or parts of the lawn that are not thriving. These areas are an invitation for weeds, so find the cause quickly. Trouble spots can be caused by insects, disease, chemical spills, objects left too long on the grass or broken sprinklers. Once you’ve resolved the

issue, re-seed the area with grass seed that matches the rest of your lawn. Mow at the right height. Grass needs to be the right height to combat the growth of weeds. Grass that is too short exposes weed seeds to sunlight and promotes germination. Ideal blade height varies depending on grass type, time of year and growing conditions, but the most important thing is to never remove more than one-third of the leaf surface at any one time. In general, cool-season grass, like fescue or Kentucky bluegrass, or grasses in shade grow best when maintained at a taller height, approximately 2 1/2-4 inches. If you have warm-season grass, including zoysia and Ber-

mudagrass, maintain it between 1-3 inches. Get tools to help. Specialized tools and products make it easier to remove weeds. A simple garden hoe can do wonders with young seedlings, and dandelion weeders are perfectly designed to remove deep-rooted dandelions. You can also reduce manual labor by treating your lawn with a time-saving selective herbicide product like Bayer Advanced Season Long Weed Control for Lawns, which controls broadleaf lawn weeds like dandelions and clovers. This herbicide not only kills the weeds you can see, but prevents new weeds from growing for up to 6 months. Plus, it’s rainproof in just 1 hour, which

is perfect for rainy spring months. It is not for sale, use or distribution in New York. Be sure to read product labels carefully to understand what weeds will

be killed or prevented. For more information or to learn more about mowing, watering or fixing bare spots, visit bayeradvanced. com.

efore you can fully enjoy your outdoor living spaces this spring, chances are high you’ll need to wash away a layer of winter grime. Thoroughly cleaning and sprucing up these outdoor areas can get you well on your way to a season filled with outdoor entertainment. Take yourself one step closer to backyard barbecues, leisurely evenings around the fire pit and generally reveling in all the season has to offer with these tips for updating your outdoor living environment. Make functional repairs. Start with a careful scan of your yard, giving close attention to items that may have sustained damage during months of

disuse. Look for cracks in planters and other items. Inspect wooden furniture and accessories for splintering and rough patches. Check the bolts and hardware securing furniture, especially moving pieces like swinging benches or rocking chairs that are prone to loosening over time. Where needed, make repairs, apply fresh stain or paint and generally ensure each item is in good working condition. Turn attention to aesthetics. Once everything is ready functionally, you can turn your attention to appearances. In most cases, a vigorous washing is all you need to bring fresh life to windows, siding, decking, sidewalks and other concrete or stone surfaces. An

electric pressure washer can make short work of the task, and each of Briggs & Stratton’s models offers a variety of maximum pressure and flow rates to fit homeowners’ unique outdoor cleaning needs. These units feature an onboard detergent tank to easily store and dispense cleaning detergents. Some pressure washers offer additional versatility, such as the POWERflow+ model that has a high pressure mode – ideal for cleaning tough grime – and a high flow mode, which is particularly useful for extended reach, power soaping, power rinsing and delicate surfaces. For best results when using a pressure washer – whether you’re power washing the patio, cleaning

outdoor furniture, washing outdoor windows, rinsing out the grill or scrubbing messy garbage bins – aim the spray nozzle perpendicular to the surface you’re cleaning. Use a steady motion because inconsistent pressure leads to striping. Be sure to “feather” your strokes, overlapping each previous sweep with half the height of the new sweep. Also, allow the detergent soak into difficult stains for 3-5 minutes before rinsing so it has time to latch onto the stain and pull it from the surface. Focus on details. An outdoor space can evolve from a practical area for outside activities into a true extension of your home with just a few simple touches. Plush cushions make it more com-

fortable to spend extended time outdoors and accents like rugs and decorative accessories lend a sense of character and charm. Convenience features like end tables make it easy to rest a refreshing beverage nearby. Also consider elements like fans and shades to manage

the climate as temperatures climb, and don’t overlook the importance of lighting so your enjoyment can continue after the sun fades from the sky. Find more tips to get your outdoor living space ready for spring at briggsandstratton.com.

Smell Your Way To A Better Mood

hough often taken for granted, smell is a powerful sense, especially when a gentle scent can instantly transport your mind to another time and place. From retrieving pleasant memories to boosting your mood, your sense of smell plays an important role in your overall well-being. The scents you detect are actually tiny molecules that interact with sensory centers in your brain to elicit responses, such as happiness, relaxation or stimulation. For centuries, smell has been associated with healing practices. Today, the restorative and uplifting benefits of smell can be found throughout everyday life. Next time you’re

invigorating sensory experience that moisturizes and cleanses your skin. • Energize your morning with a vibrant air freshener in your car. According to the National Sleep Foundation, scents like citrus, rosemary, peppermint and eucalyptus are stimulants that can help you shake off sleepiness and put some pep in your step. In fact, fruity smells like citrus actually stimulate serotonin, the brain’s “happy” chemical. • A fresh bouquet of flowers is an instant mood-booster, but not just because of their beauty. Numerous studies have shown the emotional benefits of a vase filled with fresh blooms. Take that

feeling down or need to soothe your mind, turn to one of these aromatic options: • Light candles with a soft, calming scent to relax and unwind. Try lighting the candle when you walk in the door from a long day, and by the time you’ve changed into some comfy clothes, the aroma should begin to fill the air. • Take a warm shower and lather up with a scent-driven body wash, such as Softsoap Honey Creme & Lavender or Blooming Jasmine & Plum Moisturizing Body Wash. Inspired by trending ingredients and crafted with real extracts of honey, lavender, jasmine and plum, these body washes can create an

goodwill a step further by taking a trip to a flower market to purchase fresh flowers with fragrant qualities that can brighten your desk or a room at home. • It may be the anticipation of a tasty treat to come, or maybe it’s the connection to childhood memories with a beloved relative, but few can resist the smell of homemade treats baking in the oven. Of course you can cheat and light a candle or burn wax or oil that mimics the scent, but nothing comes close to the therapy of freeing your hands and mind to bake and create that delicious aroma on your own. Find more scents to move your mood at softsoap.com.
