Meet Allison
We received this
lovely letter a few days ago from Allison - a long-term customer at our Victoria store...thank you Allison for
your kind words! It's because of people like you that we get to
celebrate 20 years. Tell us your stories at 20years@escentsaromatherapy.com.
 Because of Escents I became more educated about aromatherapy
and use essentials oils almost every day. I love that Escents was a source of
information and quality essential oils. I have SUCH a collection and am always
open to more scents. I love being able to make my own blends for me, my kids,
and friends.
My kids enjoyed olive oil rubs as babies and as they grew, I
introduced lavender and other mild oils. My 10 year old son now requests leg
massages and likes trying blends with rosemary, pine, lavender and other mixes.
He says lavender helps him to relax and sleep. My 8 year old daughter requests
spearmint or peppermint on her hot pack when her tummy is bothering her. She
also likes abdomen rubs with mints or lavender. I made a cinnamon roll-on for my son’s friend by special
request as my friend was always using the headache roll-on I bought her from Escents. Now, he has his own mild cinnamon version that he can use whenever he
likes.
Thanks for being a source of a “healthy” obsession for me
for many years. I am so proud to support a BC company.
Let's Party!
 Yes, its our birthday but YOU get the GIFTS!
20 years ago Jacqui MacNeill, started Escents
Aromatherapy with $500, a can of paint and a burning desire to effect positive
change. Today, 20 years later Escents has grown to over 45 stores worldwide and
continues to provide products and services that enrich peoples lives. And we couldn't have done it without you.Our
success story is yours as much as it is ours.
So, lets party! For all of 2012 we invite you to celebrate
with us in store and online.
What do we have planned? I'm glad you asked.
Chapter One: Reflections - 20 Years of "Living it Well"
You
can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them
looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow
connect in your future. You have to trust in something -your gut,
destiny, life, and karma - whatever. This approach has never let me down
and it has made all the difference in my life. Steve Jobs.
It
is hard to believe that 20 years ago I started Escents Aromatherapy. It
began as a business idea that would allow me to not only do something I
loved but would also to share with others the beautiful world of
essential oils, fragrance and natural aromas.
I was
exposed to essential oils and the beauty of scent one day while in
Portland, Oregon. It was 1990 And I had just graduated with a business
degree and decided I wanted to open my own store - the problem was what
to sell? I began the search for a product that would meet the three
following criteria:
1. Provide benefit and "help" people in some way;
2. Afford me the luxury of constant learning;
3. Allow me to make a living doing something I loved.
