Day 3 of our "SAD" blogathon: Enter for your chance to win Destiny perfume!

January 18, 2012 @ 03:47 AM

It's day three of our blogathon and last day of the giveaway bonanza! A thick blanket of snow has brought us reprieve from the gray and everyone in Seattle is smiling. Snow is good medicine for SAD, as the reflection of what little light we get is amplified by the intense glare. This is why SAD is more common in Seattle than in Anchorage.

There are lots of effective treatments for SAD. The focus of this event is to bring attention to aromatherapy, which provides excellent relief from many of the symptoms. That is why the perfumers of the Natural Perfumers Guild are having this three day giveaway event: to share our uplifting perfumes with you in hopes of brightening your winter day!

We are giving away Destiny: our top selling perfume! Designed for exhibition at the 2010 NW Women's Show to bring attention to the uplifting benefits of natural perfumes, it's chock full of natural aromatics known to combat SAD, and it smells absolutely divine.

If you would like to try "Destiny", please leave a comment here and you will be entered to win one of three travel sizes in Italian made gilded bottles. Winners of the random drawing will be announced right here on the blog so check back please to claim your prize!

Thanks for reading, and please check out the other NPG blogs for more on this event and other chances to win aroma therapeutic perfumes.

* The opinions of Christi Meshell and House of Matriarch should not be taken as medical advice. SAD can be a precursor or trigger for other, more serious mental illnesses, so severely depressed or suicidal individuals should seek the care of a physician. Never dismiss or self-treat massive depressive disorders yourself or encourage anyone to discontinue medication when being treated by a physician.

Sure, I'd love to try Destiny!

Thank you for the Joy in January blog posts and the great giveaways! I would love to try Destiny!

Thank you for being part of the Joy in January project and for the wonderful giveaways! I enjoyed reading the blogs.

Thank you for participating in the SAD blogathon event and for offering the giveaways! I have learned a lot about SAD and aromatherapy over the last few days.

That is such a bright, cheerful bottle! I love peacock feathers. I know we shouldn't judge a scent by its bottle, but I can't help but feel like anything in there would be just as bright and cheerful! Didn't ever think about reflections off of snow. Wouldn't fewer hours of daylight lead to more SAD even if they were amplified, though? Alaska is pretty far north. Then again, A sparkling but freezing cold day can feel a lot happier than a dreary warmer day. We've had both this week....

Living in California, I only see snow when I get to Big Bear in the mountains - but the sun on the snow and the smell of pine & fresh air is so uplifting, it makes winter cold up there almost pleasurable. I can't say I miss the killing winters of upstate New York & Boston - but the sight & smell of snow (it does have a smell, though I can't describe it) more often would be nice. As would a bottle of "Destiny". ; ]

even in subzero weather, i am always much more grateful when the sun is out sparkling off snow. mind you i don't like the snow per se... but it's a dazzling display of light. thank you for a fun, enlightening project and sharing your Destiny! moment of stillness in one degree weather- black hills.

wow. I had a friend once who lived in Seattle, she also kept talking about how grey it is there and how many people are depressed. I think she has since left that area. I am happy for you that it is snowing :) may you have many such days this winter. all the best and thank you for the opportunity to win 'Destiny'

How are you faring with the snow? I heard it was supposed to be near record-setting amounts in Washington! That is really interesting about the snow aspect being able to alleviate some of the SAD. Logical, but just never even crossed my mind. Thank you again for participating in the Joy in January project! Michael S Colorado

Michael, you are the winner of day three of our drawing! Please send me your address to christi@matriarch.biz. I hope you enjoy Destiny!

Would love to smell "Destiny' I imagine it is wonderful- If the bottle is so beautiful, just guessing what's inside smells fabulous!!

#laughs# And I always think that the snow makes it vital to wear sunscreen. The reflected sunlight makes it easy to sunburn, especially since many people think of sunscreen as a summer thing.

What a gorgeous bottle! Looking at - and smelling - beautiful things are always uplifting. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
