What’s in the Mix? Blending Ideas and Prompts is a weekly exercise designed to spark your imagination and get your creative juices flowing. Each week you’ll find a question, a suggestion or a prompt that will help you identify where you’re stuck, where you are flowing and where you need more education. Mostly, prompts are just fun!
About This Week’s Prompt: This is a fun prompt! Imagine you will be attending a movie premier party for your favorite celebrity or they are speaking in your town and you have a special pass to meet them afterwards. What blend would you gift them with? What blend do you feel fits their personality? Would you create a relaxing blend for their busy lifestyle? How about an inspiring blend to help their creative juices for their next book, album, or movie?
Currently, I’m having a huge celebrity crush on Elizabeth Gilbert. I’m probably the only person in the civilized world who has not read Eat, Pray Love. So when I picked up The Signature of All Things recently, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I had no idea that it was about plants! I’m not only captivated by the story of Botanist Alma Whittaker, but in awe of the incredible mind that put this story to pen. If I were to meet Elizabeth Gilbert, I would make her a massage blend for more creative inspiration…and more books about plants!

By leaving your creative ideas in the Comments sections you might give someone a great idea for a listing blend, and someone might give YOU a great idea. Who knows, maybe you’ll become inspired to create a new product or an entire product line from something that is sparked by this exercise.

Taylor Swift and my blend is called Fresh Start. It has lavender, spearmint, Siberian fir, neroli petitgrain co-distill, sweet orange, lemon and bergamot. It’s clean and refreshing and awesome for fresh starts!
Hi Melissa! I LOVE your Fresh Start blend!. I want to make it just to smell those wonderful oils together…and the name is wonderful!
