Taurus
April 21 - May 20
Taurus The Bull
Taurus The Bull
Ruling Planet: Venus
Element: Earth
Famous Taureans:Audrey Hepburn, Cher, Billy Joel, Barbra Streisand, Benjamin Spock, Sigmund Freud, Katharine Hepburn, Queen Elizabeth II, Bing Crosby, Candice Bergen, William Shakespeare, Adolf Hitler
Basic Profile:conservative, sensible, responsible, meticulous, artistic, loyal consistent, dependable, generous, physically strong, sexual, but can be rigid, stubborn, selfish, suspicious, hot-tempered
Taureans feel good about themselves, and so make them more lively and satisfying contributors to human life as a whole.
They are great to have around in a crisis because they are dependable, firm and unshaken. An earth sign, they seek harmony and wholesomeness, and they value beauty. They are slow to change, and can be jealous and possessive. They don’t like being pushed or rushed.
These same characteristics can be found in the Fruity personality, which is committed, responsible and true-blue friends. Their desire for peace and harmony mirrors the Herby personality.
Are you a Taurus? Take the personality test and see if you come up Fruity/Herby.
I have a couple of very nice frgrances for Taurus men and women

Spring is in the air
Time for new and fresh things.
It's time to do spring cleaning, a time for new growth and new beginnings.
How about a fresh scent just for spring? Honeysuckle is the hot new fragrance for spring.
Most of the top perfumeries have a honeysuckle-based scent, or will be introducing one this year. Honeysuckle is not just for women, but also men. Fahrenheit (for men) by Christian Dior has honeysuckle as one of its main ingredients.
A little bit about honeysuckle: Did you know that honeysuckle is not really a flower, it is a blooming vine. Because of this it falls in our leafy category.
Soft and sweet, this flower-like fragrance is a "top note," meaning that it is the first scent you smell when you spray it on, but also the most volatile and the first to evaporate as the day goes by, so we can mix it with some woodsey to give it some staying power.
I did a honeysuckle and gardenia blend for my mom. Not crazy about that one, that is ok, I have 64 other perfume oils for you to try:
Another new thing for spring. I have a hostess tic, tac, toe game that can be used with Urban Botanic ( also taste of Gourmet and Vantel Pearls) so book your workshop today for May
Leafy, Leafy, bo Beafy,......
A Leafy’s favorite thing to do is gain knowledge. Their aspiration is to understand. Leafies are always alert.
Einstein was probably a Leafy, as most geniuses are. Leafies are always thinking of new ways to do things. They’re very innovative thinkers and inventors, often working on several ideas and theories at the same time.
Leafies aren’t afraid of hard work and they use their talents in obtaining information in every aspect of life whether starting a new business, getting a degree, or purchasing a car. They make sure they have all the details before making any decision, big or small.
Leafies are the most creative people on the planet and they approach every aspect of life with originality. Sometimes Leafies have extremist and nonconformist ideas. Does this describe you, take the personality test to find out
From Karlene and her take of the men and women of Grey's Anatomy.
Cristina's signature scent reflects both the Leafy and Woodsy sides of her personality, with Green Tea (3), Bergamot (2), and Sandalwood (4).
George O'Malley is a yummy honey. He's so sweet you just want to hug him. His fragrance recipe contains Almond (2), Chocolate (1), Oak Moss (2), Pina Colada (2) and Honeydew Melon (2).

Wear a Melody
What does it take to make a melody? Oprah had a piano prodigy on her show recently. Oprah picked out 5 notes; E,F, G, B, C. The prodigy then put them together and in about 45 seconds improvised a song using this 5 note melody. Amazing. There are 88 keys on a piano keyboard.
The same 7 notes in varying tones repeated over and over from very low to very high with keys to make them sharp or flat. The combinations are endless and so are the melodies.That is basically what we do at Urban Botanic. We have 66 "keys" or perfume oils. We have high notes and low notes and a lot of notes inbetween. And the combination of these notes is endless. Some combinations are sharp and some are flat and others are simply amazing.
We can also take 5 simple notes; Chocolate, Coconut, Heliotrope, Vanilla, Cedarwood and you get an amazing, smoky haunting scent. However, if you change one note- say change Cedarwood and put Sandalwood instead and it changes the whole melody. Where before it was smoky, now it is fresh. Before it reminded you of winter and perhaps curling up by a fireplace with a good book and some cocoa, now it feels like summer and swimming and picnics. All with just the change of one note. It is no longer haunting, but lilting instead.Come join us and learn how to make your own scent melody. The combinations are endless.
