Domestic violence happens in more places then you could imagine. It happens to women in all walks of life. You probably know someone who has suffered from abuse. Shes hard to recognize because she looks just like every woman out there. Maybe shes the woman you see shopping at the supermarket, sitting at the PTA, working out with you at the gym or the woman who helps you with your makeup or shapes your eyebrows. Its time I reclaim my dignity and once again I find inner peace and pleasure in my beauty products.

Beauty products certainly cant help me escape my abuser, but they have been incredibly helpful in letting me find my escape, my place of comfort, my serenity. Ill tell you about them. The first thing is my sense of smell. Scent.its so important. I need to breathe in peace and tranquility. I need to feel the calm in my mind. My sense of calm has been so disrupted. I need to get to a calmer place. And, the scent thats done it for me is June Jacobs Serenity Candle.

There are lots of candles and scents out there. Whats so special about this one? First of all, June Jacobs is a terrific lady. I really like her; she herself is calming and soothing. So, I felt compelled to try one of her candles. Shes calls it serenity, but its actually more like awakening to me. Refreshing, like opening a window with a fresh breeze off the ocean just waiting to waif through and refresh the stale air. Wonderful

A good beginning.. to healing. I must continue to find ways to feel better. I will let my passion for whats beautiful guide me to finding my way. I will survive.
