Incense Man Newsletter Friday 5 March 2010 - what's back in stock, this fortnight's special offer, the Top Five bestsellers and your free bonus giveaway!

Hi there...

Well, the entertaining quote of this week comes from my seven-and-three-quarters year old granddaughter... who told me the other day - because I was wearing patchouli attar - "You smell nice Grandad... like mud!" (Hmmm - so that's why the fragrance of patchouli is always described as "earthy"...)

Anyway, once again there's quite a lot happening at this time of year... so here are just a few of the events taking place around the world during the next fortnight:-

• Monday 8 March is Commonwealth Day - the updated version of the old Empire Day - although quite how relevant it is in this day and age is open to question. It is marked, however, by a multi-faith service in Westminster Abbey, usually attended by Her Majesty the Queen in her capacity as head of the Commonwealth...
  
  
• Thursday 11 March is the Day of Restitution of Independence in Lithuania, which is celebrated as a public holiday to mark the regaining of the country's independence from the Soviet Union in 1990...
  
  
• Saturday 13 March is Vaisakhi, which is celebrated throughout the Indian sub-continent - although under many different names - as the beginning of the new solar year and harvest season. It's of particular importance to Sikhs, commemorating the occasion in 1699 when the tenth guru, Guru Gobind Singh, chose Vaisakhi as the occasion to transform the Sikhs into a family of soldier saints, known as the Khalsa Panth...
  
  
• Sunday 14 March is Mothers Day (more properly called Mothering Sunday) in the United Kingdom... while in the USA and Canada it's the day that the clocks go forward for the start of Daylight Saving Time...
  
  
• Monday 15 March is Revolution Day (or National Day) in Hungary, commemorating the beginning of the revolution of 1848... while in Mexico this day is celebrated as the birthday of Benito Juárez, a very highly-regarded statesman who served FIVE terms as the country's president in the nineteenth century - although strangely his actual date of birth was (apparently) 21 March...    
  
  
• Wednesday 17 March is St Patrick's Day, the feast day of the patron saint of Ireland - and the day when just about everybody suddenly remembers their Irish ancestry, no matter how remote!
  
  
• And Friday 19 March is celebrated as St Joseph's Day, especially in Malta (where it's a public holiday), Sicily, Spain and the Philippines...
  
  
• And finally, the weekend of Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 March marks the Vernal (spring) equinox and the festival of Nowruz (or any one of the many alternative spellings), the ancient Persian / Iranian (Zoroastrian) New Year.

Phew! Well, that's plenty of events to be going on with - so here's your update on what's been happening on the Incense Man website since the last newsletter, two weeks ago:-

But before taking a look at that, check out the list of the Incense Man Top 5 bestsellers:

The Incense Man Top Five...

These are the Top 5 bestsellers on the Incense Man website over the last two weeks:

1) Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa incense sticks - always the Number One bestseller... the hippies' favourite from the '60s - the "original" and best Nag Champa for many people.

2) Bharath Darshan incense sticks - wow! - up another two places this time - but they are exceedingly good incense sticks!

3) Satya Super Hit incense sticks - back up two places in the current chart, now that they're back in stock...

4) Satya Natural incense sticks - down one place this week... but still a very popular spring-like fragrance!

5) HEM Dragon's Blood incense sticks - their first appearance in the bestsellers' list... but I'm sure it won't be their last.

Now, thIS FORTNIGHT'S free giveaway offer...
