My Favorite Things: OM Aroma & Co. Organic Spa and Skincare

Monday, January 31st, 2011

I first got to know the delicious products of OM Aroma & Co. last year when I found an online community called Savor the Success, co-founded and run by Angela Jia Kim and her husband Marc. Angela is also founder of OM Aroma & Co. and I invited her to be a guest on my “Spotlight on Style” radio show. She is truly the epitome of a talented, beautiful, creative women stepping into the spotlight. Her story is fascinating and she is as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside. If you’re interested, you can listen to a replay of my interview with Angela here.

Before the show I ordered a sample package of OM Aroma & Co. products. When the package arrived I immediately opened it and began to explore each product, opening it to smell and experience. I was hooked! The products are so luxurious, and smell and feel so lovely. I loved them all.  In Fashion Feng Shui® terms, Angela must be a Metal essence.  Her products are all about high quality!

I love the products and the company for several reasons; one of the most important is that all OM Aroma & Co. products are made with all-natural ingredients – no chemicals or preservatives. When you read the ingredients list for these products you won’t believe it. It’s no wonder that shortly after Angela launched OM Aroma & Co. in 2007 her products began to get recognized and win awards.

There are lots of other reasons to love OM Aroma & Co. besides their products including their Dollars & Scents program, which hires women who are re-transitioning into the workforce after taking time off to raise their children.

Now you know why I just had to share OM Aroma & Co. with you! And Angela has very generously offered a one-time special gift to my community – 20% OFF any online order through February 15, 2011. Just enter the coupon code MANDATO when you check out.

February is the month of love. It offers us an opportunity to show our friends, spouses and significant others how much we care about them. But what about ourselves? The relationship you have with yourself is the most important one. It’s critical to take really good care of yourself first.

One of the first things I work on with my clients is their mindset.  NO negative self talk please!  I recommend creating a personal mantra and posting it all over your house, your car, your desk — wherever you will see it as many times a day as possible.

I was pleasantly surprised recently when I stopped in at the lululemon at Legacy Place, Dedham, MA and found the front window covered with colorful post it notes, each with an empowering message.  I asked one of the sales associates what it was about and she told me about this amazing website – OperationBeautiful.com. A young woman named Caitlin started the site and her mission is to post anonymous notes in public places for other women to find – positive, uplifting messages. This point is that WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL.  You are enough … just the way you are!

Way to go Caitlin! Thank you for spreading the message of self-love to women all over the world.  So go ahead ladies, get out your pens and post it notes and post away!  Then take a photo and send it to Caitlin via www.operationbeautiful.com.
