Confidence in a bottle

Alexis Smart is a modern-day medicine woman, a flower healer who can supply you with confidence and organizational skills, in a bottle you can buy online.
Smart was once a succesful commercial actress, starring in ad campaigns for Pepsi, Doritos and IBM.
Then she decided to explore a different path. She studied to become a flower essences healer, using Dr. Bach flower remedies to overcome her own shyness, and even to help herself get organized. She prescribed "go get 'em" essences to "Project Runway’s" Jeffrey Sebelia, who went on to win the show.
I met her at a party over the summer (at the home of former U.S. air guitar champion Bjorn Turoque) and she told me all about her practice. A few weeks later, I visited her at her Echo Park bungalow for a consultation. We sipped honeyed tea and I told her some of my goals, and described my family history.
She figured out my flower personality type—I am overly empathetic apparently, and prioritize the emotional needs of others over my own. Which is great for being a writer, bad when it comes to deciding what I want for dessert. She prescribed me a little bottle of flower essence, my own special blend of cerato, honeysuckle and scleranthus, and I took three drops a few times a day for a month. I remember feeling more confident in my own decision-making powers almost immediately.
Smart is selling three of her special blends for $25 each over the holiday season. Spotlight was created by Smart to help her brave commercial auditions, and works for those experiencing shyness, nervousness or lack of confidence. My Personal Assistant helps if you are over-worked or are a new mother with frazzled nerves. Or great a motivator for those who suffer from procrastination.
