Get Ready to Super Charge Your Personal Development

Just for fun!

I went to a Education and Business Summit in Greenville and I was pleasantly greeted with music and peppermints at the entrance of the workshop by Dr. Mimi.

Now an article titled “Peppermint prepares test-takers, a study says” recently appeared in the Middletown Journal, Middletown , OH .

The articles states, “Candy canes greeted test-takers at Middletown ’s Adult Education center Friday before the General Educational Development exam. The purpose of the treats was two-fold: spread a little holiday cheer and awaken the test-takers, said Principal Rose Marie Stiehl. A NASA-funded study revealed that the smell of peppermint decreases fatigue and frustration by 15 percent and 25 percent respectively and increases alertness by 30 percent, said Stiehl. Ever since the study, the center has offered peppermints to test-takers.”

And Middletown ’s Adult Education programs seems to be doing very well. You can read the article at http://www.middletownjournal.com/hp/content/oh/story/news/local/2007/12/29/mj122907gedcanes.html

I think I’ll keep a stash of peppermints. How about you? I also love peppermint soap that really gets me jazzed in the shower in the morning..
