Sarah became a "convert
to the simple pleasure and power of scent
to heal [her] body, mind, and spirit
to enhance [her] moods and relieve stress...
Aromatherapy- the ancient therapeutic art
of blending essential oils or extracts distilled from aromatic
flowers, plants, herbs, and fruit for medicinal purposes..."
Some of her favorites, and mine, are
lavender - relaxing
basil - stimulating
rosemary - memory
peppermint - clarity and sharpness
sage - tonic for stress
Scents are "pleasing and inspiriting"
How does it work?
"Our sense of smell is our primordial link to our brains.
When we inhale a scent, neurotransmitters in our brains
trigger the production of biochemical secretions
that affect our moods, feelings, and emotions.
When an aromatic essential oil permeates our skin
through the bath or a massage, the oil penetrates the epidermis, stimulates our sophisticated lymph duct system,
and enters the bloodstream,
eventually delivering well-being to our frazzled minds."
I've been loving DoTERRA, and some of my favorites are
I also love Scentsy.
My favorite scents are
A Wink & A Smile
Bonfire Beach
Honeymoon Hideaway
Sedona Sunset
These sometimes give me a headache...but DoTerra never does.
However you get the scents in the air, I hope you give it a try.
What are your favorite scents?

Gratitude Journal

1) Having nothing to do today, so just doing what I wanted. I finished that baby blanket finally, and the kids and I watched a lot of animal stuff.
2) Good family. My cousin just came over because she wanted to talk. And then that turned into girls night and getting ready for a prom.
Aren't they so gorgeous!
Looking closely at the hair I did I could have done a better job,
but it was really pretty and so much fun to do.
3) Family time.
Chase had a bucket on his head, and then decided to rush me.
4) Sitting out in the sun
5) Your show coming back on, and pizza
