Track your package closely to protect your online purchases

Gabrielle Larocque

  You're eagerly awaiting your package ordered online, but the reality is that package thefts are on the rise, according to a recent FedEx survey. With 28% of respondents reporting they have experienced package theft from their doorstep in the past two years, it's more crucial than ever to meticulously track your tracking number to ensure the safety of your valuable purchases. A large portion of these customers who were robbed did not closely track their package via the tracking number, leaving the package unsupervised for several hours.   Growing risks of home theft “Stoop hackers” are becoming increasingly bold, with a 4% increase in reported package thefts compared to 2022. This threat becomes particularly concerning during the holiday season, when online shopping increases and risks thefts are intensifying. James Anderson, spokesperson for FedEx Express Canada, points out that this concern is pervasive in consumers' minds, with 70% of those surveyed expressing concern about the theft of their packages left unattended after delivery.   Use tracking for secure delivery A simple, but effective solution to protect your packages is to carefully track your tracking number that you receive by email once the order has been shipped. An update from the carrier is made daily to update the status of the order. This practice allows buyers to stay informed about the location of their package and take steps to prevent theft, including reducing the time the package is on the porch unattended. It's also a good idea to ask the retailer to deliver the items to a more discreet location, such as a back porch or storage box. This simple precaution can make all the difference in preventing theft. You can add this note in the comments during your purchase. If you are uncertain about being present or are often absent during deliveries, adding a signature to the delivery process can be an extra measure of protection. Otherwise, you can also have it delivered to another address where someone can receive the package quickly. By adding an extra layer of protection, video doorbells or surveillance cameras can provide additional peace of mind by monitoring deliveries and deterring package thieves. In conclusion, By meticulously tracking your tracking number and adopting secure delivery practices, you can significantly reduce the risk of package theft. Don't let stoop pirates ruin your online shopping experience. Stay vigilant, use tracking and protect your valuable purchases.

Connaissez-vous les 5 liens historiques entre le massage et Halloween?
Massage

Do you know the 5 historical links between massage and Halloween?

The history of massage and Halloween seems like a strange combination at first glance. One evokes ancient therapeutic practices aimed at relieving the body and mind, while the other is associated with macabre festivities, frightening disguises and sweets. However, deeper exploration reveals historical and cultural connections between massage and Halloween that may be intriguing. The soothing connection between massage and Halloween anxiety Halloween is traditionally a holiday marked by spooky elements, horror films, ghost stories and haunted house tours. For many people, this atmosphere can cause stress, anxiety and even nightmares. That's where massage comes in. Massage sessions are known for their ability to reduce stress, relax muscles and promote a state of well-being. So, massage can be a welcome breath of fresh air for those looking to unwind after a stressful evening. The origins of Halloween and healing rituals Modern Halloween has its origins in ancient Celtic holidays, particularly Samhain. Samhain, which occurred in late fall, marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter, a time considered the time of spirits and the dead. The Celts believed that the boundary between the world of the living and the dead became thinner during this time, allowing spirits to manifest. Interestingly, the Celts had their own healing practices, some of which involved massage and body manipulation. These rituals were intended to balance the body's vital energy, soothe the mind, and promote healing. Thus, Celtic ancestors may have associated therapeutic massages with celebrations like Samhain to relieve stress and bodily pain, while connecting with the spiritual world. The importance of relaxation during dark times Autumn is a season characterized by shorter days, colder temperatures and a darker atmosphere. So the need to find ways to relax and comfort yourself during this time is greater. Massage, as a calming practice, can be particularly beneficial at this time of year. Massage as a means of recovery after festivities Halloween is also a holiday known for its excesses, especially when it comes to eating sweets. After a night of trick-or-treating and costume parties, many people may feel tired and overworked. Massage can be an ideal way to restore balance, relieve body tension from walking or dancing, and promote better digestion. Halloween Specials in the Massage Industry Many spas and massage practitioners offer Halloween specials to attract clients looking for relaxation during this time. Halloween themed massages add a fun twist to the massage experience. In conclusion, although the association between massage and Halloween may seem strange at first, it is based on historical and cultural connections. Massage has always been a method of healing and relaxation, and its role during Halloween can be to provide a calming respite in a season marked by anxiety and festivities. So, the next time you're planning to celebrate Halloween, don't overlook the opportunity to add a little feel-good factor to your spooky night with a good massage.

Essential oils

How long does an essential oil last?

Did you know that your essential oils can be preserved at least 5 years? Citrus essences are more fragile therefore they are given a shorter lifespan d'about 2 years, and for essential oils obtained from the needles of conifers, such as Scots pine or balsam fir or black spruce, they can be preserved about 3 years. Essential oils contain, among other things, alcohols. It is therefore impossible for bacteria to develop in pure essential oils. They will not become dangerous when used externally, in a bath or when applied topically. However, the quality of an essential oil gradually declines with the oxidation process, therefore the aging process of an oil. Their characteristic odor gradually declines, as do their benefits.   All essential oils expire Since now, essential oils are more and more known to the general public, their clinical applications based on scientific evidence have proven themselves and the different daily or therapeutic applications are multiplying, it is rather rare to see someone one, let alone a wellness professional, throw away essential oils or massage oils because they are no longer good.   For massage oils, the addition of cloves as a natural preservative greatly extends the life of a massage oil since they are composed of more than 15% essential oil and 70 to 90% eugenol. , an antibacterial, antiseptic and antifungal compound. The multiplication of applications in care or in daily life is increasing the use of essential oils. Their 15 milliliter format also limits losses.   There are many factors that affect the shelf life of an essential oil, just like massage oils The quality of the original plant. Conditions of certain batches (sunshine, rain, etc.) meant that the essential oils did not reach Olympic yields in the chromatogram, but minimum yields. This will influence the lifespan, but also the active ingredients. Harvest conditions can influence. Distillation (for essential oils) The traffic jam must follow certain protocols. Handling of the oil by the client, the therapist or even the company which packaged the essential oils. Oxygen: When oils are exposed to air, they gradually oxidize and their volatile components evaporate, as does their odor. This is often due to the fact that the oil bottle remains open during treatment, for example. It is therefore important that the bottles remain tightly closed when essential oils are not in use. The light : When essential oils are stored in sunny places, they deteriorate. This is why essential oils are sold in dark colored bottles, usually smoked glass. The latter prevents UV rays from penetrating the bottle and altering the quality of the oil. Exposure to heat : Due to their flammable nature, essential oils should never be stored near open flames or any source of heat or fire. Being exposed to heat accelerates the deterioration of an oil. Where to keep your essential and massage oils to protect them? We should keep our essential and massage oils in dry, cool and dark places, preferably. Places like the bathroom, near a stove or on a window sill are totally not recommended. Temperature variations cause our essential oils and massage oils to age prematurely by oxidizing them. When you buy your essential oils and massage oils, different formats are offered to you. Buying large formats allows you to save money. Purchasing small formats allows you to better manage your inventories of products that you do not use often. It’s worth stopping there!   How to recognize expired massage oil? The main characteristic of expired vegetable massage oil is that it loses effectiveness with oxidation and that it risk of becoming comedogenic. Oxidation can also cause the texture to vary. The fatty substance protects them from the air and prevents certain microorganisms from breathing and developing. The oil becomes sticky to the touch and often the client has to work extra hard to remove all the oil from their skin after the massage. The rancid smell of expired vegetable oil is very significant and a motivator to stop using it. Moreover, this smell is very recognizable in certain massage clinics whose towels have been encrusted with massage oil for a long time.   To avoid this unpleasant odor in the towels and massage sheets as well as the heavy appearance of the latter, it is important to add to the washing loads, a professional degreaser at the height, combined with laundry soap or precisely the Pro-textile + organic which combines the two functions. Another most important element is the wash water temperature. It should be remembered that washing towels and sheets in cold water promotes the fixation of oil in the fiber of the fabric. The fat therefore accumulates from one wash to the next and makes the fabric heavier. This is why the choice of washing in warm or hot water is required.   Now let's talk about drying Dry hot towels or sheets in which the fibers of the fabric have stored oil over time is fire hazardous.   You therefore have two major reasons to properly maintain your supplies. Of good storage conditions, a proper handling as well as specific maintenance as described above are important for conservation, efficiency and safety.

S'attaquer au stress durant le retour aux études
Essential oils

dealing with stress while returning to school

Registrations are finished and the start of the school year is now upon us and the stress linked to success is well established. Returning to school is fraught with stress from the fear of missing memory. Improving memory requires a combination of good mental and physical health practices and a holistic approach and some specific strategies to optimize it. Improving memory requires continuous effort. Firstly, we must tackle stress which has a detrimental effect on memory. Essential oils containing linalool, limonene and/or citral are best allies for the control of stress impacting memory. Diffused essential oil of orange, lemon, lavender, mandarin, Indian verbena or neroli at night will have a strong impact on sleep and, in turn, on memory. Then, we tackle the memory itself: The corpus callosum allows the two cerebral hemispheres to share information, coordinate activities, and work together for various cognitive functions. It facilitates communication between the two cerebral hemispheres, which is essential for information processing and memory consolidation. Sensory information and memories are often processed differently in each cerebral hemisphere, then are integrated using the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum then allows this information to flow between the two hemispheres, which can help form a complete picture or coherent memory. When the corpus callosum is damaged, or simply stressed by stress, it can lead to impaired communication between the brain hemispheres, which can impact the brain's ability to process and integrate information. However, memory is a complex process that involves many other brain regions, including the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, which are more directly linked to the formation, storage and retrieval of memories. The best strategy is to tackle stress first. But as specific, effective and recognized strategy, use aromatherapy. Rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) is often touted for its stimulating and invigorating properties, including those relating to memory and concentration. Although the exact effects may vary from person to person, here are some of the active ingredients in rosemary that have been linked to memory benefits: 1,8-cineole (or eucalyptol): This is one of the major compounds in rosemary essential oil. It has been studied for its neuroprotective properties and its potential to improve cognition. 1,8-cineole may help increase focus and promote mental clarity. Antioxidants: Rosemary is rich in antioxidants, such as rosmarinic acids and flavonoids, which may help protect brain cells from oxidative damage. This may contribute to better long-term brain health. The smell of rosemary is often associated with mental stimulation and improved alertness. Inhaling rosemary essential oil can have an invigorating effect on the mind and help with concentration. Rosemary is often associated with mental stimulation and memory improvement. A study published in the journal Therapeutic Advances in Psychopharmacology in 2012 showed that rosemary essential oil had a positive effect on cognition. The active ingredients of peppermint essential oil are also known to increase mental acuity and concentration. Those from hemlock essential oil also promote concentration. Additionally, to significantly improve memory and cognition, it is essential to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and mentally stimulating exercises. These recommendations apply to broadcasters with blotting pads. However, for new diffusers, you can set the desired intensity according to need. Wording for distribution during the study period: 10 drops - Rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) 10 drops - Hemlock essential oil (Tsuga canadensis) 10 drops - Mandarin essential oil (Citrus reticulata) 1 drop - Peppermint essential oil (Mentha piperita)   Anti-stress formulation for night diffusion: 5 drops - Orange essential oil (Citrus aurantium) 10 drops - Lemon essential oil (Citrus limonum) 10 drops - Neroli essential oil (Citrus aurantium)   To see the Double-ended diffuser: Click here References : Academy of Scientific Massage, Clinical and Scientific Aromatherapy Course, 2023

Precautions for using essential oils during pregnancy and breastfeeding

  The use of essential oils (EO) is attracting more and more interest due to their aromatic and therapeutic properties. However, it is essential to know the necessary precautions when using them, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The first three months of pregnancy are considered critical, because certain EOs can be potentially dangerous for the developing fetus. In this article, we will discuss precautions and restrictions regarding the use of EOs during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Use of essential oils during pregnancy: During the first three months of pregnancy, it is strongly recommended to avoid the use of essential oils. Some EOs contain ketone molecules considered neurotoxic. Improper use of these oils can cause nerve spasms, breathing problems and nausea. The main risk to avoid is that of miscarriage. In addition, the effects of EOs on the embryo's endocrine system are not yet fully understood, which justifies caution. From the fourth month of pregnancy, a low dose of EO can be used locally, only through the skin and after dilution to 5% in a suitable massage oil can be done.     Precautions to take during pregnancy: It is important to observe the following precautions when using essential oils during pregnancy: Never ingest essential oils throughout pregnancy. Limit the total amount of EO used to six drops per day. Use essential oils only by skin application and always dilute in a suitable massage oil. It is recommended to consult a dilution guide to obtain the correct dilution. (training from the Academy of Scientific Massage) Avoid the most neurotoxic essential oils containing ketones and camphor, such as sage, mints, eucalyptus, camphor extracts, etc. Avoid essential oils known to be abortifacients, such as cypress, cedar, palmarosa, niaouli, clove, etc. Do not apply essential oils or essential oil-based cosmetics to the abdominal area. Never administer pure essential oils to a pregnant woman, whether cutaneously or orally. Using Essential Oils While Breastfeeding: The same precautions recommended for women four months pregnant also apply to women who are breastfeeding. The main objective is to avoid the child's exposure to essential oils and their still poorly understood effects. Precautions to take while breastfeeding: The following precautions should be observed when using essential oils while breastfeeding: All essential oils are not recommended orally during pregnancy and breastfeeding. No pure essential oil should be applied directly to the skin. Diffusing essential oils is the safest method. For safe diffusion, it is recommended to use 15 drops of bergamot essential oil (Citrus aurantium ssp bergamia). During pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is crucial to take proper precautions when using essential oils. During the first three months of pregnancy, it is best to avoid essential oils completely due to potential risks to the fetus. From the fourth month of pregnancy and during breastfeeding, limited and cautious use of essential oils is authorized, only through the skin and after adequate dilution. It is always recommended to consult a qualified healthcare professional before using essential oils during this special time in a woman's life.

Olive oil massages are interesting because this oil is a muscle relaxant well used by athletes without any contraindication.   Thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, the benefits of green tea are many. Green tea's ability to reduce sensations of irritation, redness and swelling of the skin makes it an essential ingredient. Optimal glide for fluid movements One of the key elements of a successful massage session is the fluidity of movements. Premier Contact massage oil offers excellent glide, allowing massage therapists to perform precise and fluid movements on their clients' skin.

The profitability of a massage chair

The extraordinary profitability of a massage chair in the practice of massage therapy. The use of a massage chair is diverse. It is a wonderful tool that brings a certain flexibility to our practice. In the clinic, it is super practical to have a plan B in certain situations: For people in pain crisis who cannot get on a massage table, using the massage chair at the start of the treatment helps to calm the pain and provide a certain flexibility and mobility, enough to complete the treatment on the table and have the expected success for this first treatment. The same scenario of acute pain also occurs sometimes at the end of the treatment, when the client gets up. For a quick break from neuro-proprioceptive taping which does not require complete care, using the chair saves us time and provides the ideal position for a successful break. For specific events: ex. golf tournaments, sports competitions, massage in shopping centers during the holiday season, residences for the elderly, private events, etc. Corporate chair massage is in high demand by employers, for example to highlight a period of intense work by employees. Some companies give their employees massages during rotating working hours every month to relax them and counteract stress. The massage chair is also ideal for the elderly, for home care, for pregnant women, and for any type of treatment.                     A truly profitable tool : Chair massage appeared in the early 2000s with universal pricing of $1 per minute. Today she is generally around $2 per minute and is offered as a package.
