I’ve previously touched on some of the other Trance Essence Body Nectar scents in a previous post, and chose the ultra-feminine Amma body oil as one of my top gift ideas last Fall, but I had never had the opportunity to smell Prayer–another of the natural body oils loving handcrafted by artisan, Janna Sheehan–until just this week when Janna sent me a sample of Prayer. I remember how Trish from Scent Hive mentioned that she wanted to rub it on her face to experience its overwhelming warmth and comfort, and I have to agree with her. The frankincense, cardamom, and lavender bestow a warm, comforting, woodsy fragrance on your skin…definitely a wind-down scent. And what’s even more comforting about this luxuriously moisturizing oil is the fact that Prayer is doing its part to help relief efforts in the most devastated areas of Japan. Trance Essence is generously donating half the proceeds of every bottle of Prayer until 3/31/11 to the American Red Cross for disaster relief in Japan. Just as Amma was the perfect gift for the girly-girl in your life, Prayer is the perfect gift for anyone, including yourself, who could benefit from a little extra prayer right now. You can buy Prayer, along with all of the other beautiful scents, on their website.
And if Trance Essence weren’t already charitable enough by donating half the proceeds of Prayer to Japan, they’re sponsoring a very generous giveaway to one PJR reader! All you have to do is leave a comment below describing someone/something you’d like to send a special prayer or loving thought to, and you’ll be entered to win a full-size 2 ounce bottle of Trance Essence Nectar Body Oil in Ripe (worth $46)! Ripe is a sweet, floral, honeyed fragrance–absolutely perfect for the approaching Spring and Summer weather. For a bonus entry please go to Trance Essence’s Facebook page and leave a comment. Please let me know if you comment on their Facebook page so I can credit you with a bonus entry! Unfortunately I can only ship to US addresses for this giveaway. Giveaway ends on 3/31 at midnight EST. I will announce the winner on April 1st. Best of luck, and may all of your prayers–no matter how big or small–be answered.
I’d like to say a little prayer for my HS friend, Mamiko. She was an exchange student from Japan, who I rather unfortunately was unable to keep in touch with. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this tragic time in Japan!

I’d like to say a prayer for my family and for so many families who continue to have various struggles right now. I’d also like to pray for so many still affected in natural disasters in Haiti, Japan, and so many other places.
A magical place, northern Japan. May their fierce loyalty to each other see them through as their hearts forever change with this grief. <3 <3
Thanks for entering, Christine, and for these beautiful words! –Emily

Jjust a little prayer for people like Janna who believe in what they do. Your message is delivered with grace and refinement. Just the description of the product makes me feel good. Love, Aunt Judy
Thank you Aunt Judy. I share your prayer and it applies to the people rebuilding their lives in Japan as well, with grace and refinement – as they always have. Love, Janna
I love Ms. Janna and the feelings all her FABULOUS scents invoke! We went to high school together and were neighbors in Palos Verdes. I love her fragrances — and consistently receive compliments on them. I’m a fan of the roll ons cuz I can keep them in my purse and re-apply as needed… or desired! :-)
What fun we had! Thanks for the compliments Ms. Leslie! I am so glad TE makes you feel good! xo
i have a wonderful, generous friend who is struggling right now and she so deserves some light in her life.
Thanks for sharing that, Kam! That is so nice. We all echo the prayers. And you’re entered in the giveaway! –Emily
For baby Lee, Will and Tommy to continue to be happy and healthy
Awww! I agree with you on that one, Kathy…love all the sweet baby boys born in the last year!

I’m praying for all the parents out there. Veterans, new and expected- they all need strength and prayer when it comes to the life of our sweet children especially my friend that had a miscarriage this weekend. Thankfully one of my prayers this week was already answered.
Oh Lyss, that is heartbreaking…I’m so sorry to hear that about your friend. Such a sweet prayer

I am sending out prayers for my family this month as it has been a tough one with the deaths of two dear friends, a parent’s illness, and the death of our cat. I can’t wait for March to finish!
Kneale, I’m terribly sorry to hear what a tough few weeks you and your family have had to endure this month. I hope things get better soon, but I’m sure the healing will take a long time.
So many possible, it ‘s hard to know which to choose. So I’ll go with one for my friends who are celebrating the birth of their first baby, with hopes that the energy of joy and rebirth spill over onto everybody.
That’s wonderful–congrats are due for your friends and their new baby!
I would like to send a prayer to my co-worker and friend Shannon. Her sweet little boy is having eye surgery tomorrow. Good luck Nate!
Oh sweet Nate!!!! I send a million prayers for him too!
