Dear Cheryl,
Mom's Day

People elsewhere say southern California has no seasons, but it seems like we've experienced all of them in the last couple of months: heat igniting unseasonable blazes, wind gale force winds blowing down every palm frond in town, and cold shocking the leaves right off the hardiest of our garden pants.

It can be easy to take our usually-pleasant weather for granted, and perhaps Mother Nature just wants to be appreciated now and then. Speaking of appreciating Mom, keep us in mind when you plan your Mother's Day Shopping. We have great gifts for all the nurturing women in our lives, whatever your budget, from trinkets to treasures. If you don't see what your Mom truly deserves, ask about a personal consultation with one of our fabulous local jewelry designers. They love to do special designs!

Warrior
We have a busy calendar full of events coming up, and we could use some help, on the weekends primarily, both in the store and on the streets, so to speak. We seek an outgoing, self-motivated person who would enjoy promoting our events and products.

Requirements: An extrovert nature, open mind, and availability on the weekends are the only requirements. Everything else can be learned! Bonus points if you have artistic, writing or computer skills, but these are not required.

Pay: The sky is the limit! This is an incentive- based pay position. The more customers you bring in, the more you sell, the more event attendees you sign up, the more you earn. We'll give you all the support and tools you need to make it happen; we just need someone who has the time and energy to carry it all out.

If this position calls to you, then please call Cheryl at 818-398-4995. We know you're out there, Weekend Warrior!
Essential Oil
We get a lot of questions about essential oils and how they should be used. We invited David Roman Daniels to come give us a crash course entitled, "An Introduction to Essential Oils - natural plant extracts to enhance your life," on Saturday, April 28 at 4pm.

  • What is an essential oil?
  • Natural v. synthetic oils
  • How to use essential oils
  • Leaf Oils, Flower Oils, Wood Oils

David Roman Daniels is the creator of an all-natural line of shea butter products by Ardath Aromas. Ardath Aromas is committed to finding the best natural, healthy ingredients for their products, always using wildcrafted and organic ingredients where available.

We've had customers ask for shea butter products, and we think these Ardath Aroma products may be just what you're looking for. David will have a supply for our customers to come try on Saturday, as well. Please come in and give us your feedback.

The class fee is just $10, including handouts and a FREE 5ml essential oil. We'd appreciate your RSVP, so we can be sure to have enough materials. We're experimenting with a new RSVP system, so please click on one of the following if you are interested:

Yes! I want to attend.

Sandwich Guy
If you haven't had a sandwich at Dave's Chillin' and Grillin', then you have been wasting your time and bread (pun intended!). Dave is a gregarious guy with an infectious Bostonian accent, and he's created a great little community spot. He can tell you the story behind every sandwich, smoothie and chiller on the menu. He prides himself on choosing only the freshest, and natural unprocessed ingredients. In fact, if a supplier brings in something that doesn't live up to Dave's exacting standards, then, sorry, but that sandwich won't be on the menu until he can get just the right quality ingredient. The sandwiches are generous, which is great because they make leftovers for the next day (if you can stop yourself from eating the whole thing).

I walked into Dave's this morning, and I happened to overhear him recommending The Blissful Soul to a couple of his customers, so you know he has good taste! Dave's is open from noon to 8pm on Sundays and from 11 am to 8 pm Monday through Saturday (and until 9 pm starting May 1).

Husband David loves the never-fatty pastrami, Mom Shirley loves the French Dip Melt, my kids love the smoothies, and I love the veggie wraps. We hear tell that the Meatball Sub and Tuna Melt are on Faves list, too. Oh, and don't forget the homemade soup!
