Scents that Relax You and Inspire
There are times I will go to my candle cupboard and light a candle with a certain scent just because I know I need a little help to get my head in the right place. At the end of a crazy busy day, I need to relax because my mind is going about 500 miles a minute and I’ll get nothing done.
While everyone has their own favorite scents, I have several that I return to over and over again because they work for me. Sometimes, I use them in my bath and body products. Other times, I light a candle or use a linen spray.
Sometimes I’ll diffuse essential oils in my diffuser. You can experiment with the scents that work best for you. I try to keep my favorites on hand so they’re available when I need them.

I love Lavender or Camomile scents… sooo soothing and always brings back memories and totally relaxes.. thanks for sharing
Those are two of my favorites!
I’ve always been drawn to woodsy, spicy scents, like a sandalwood base. I even like most of the men’s sample fragrances in the magazines!
Sandalwood is my husband’s favorite!
