Incorporating Seasonal Scents into Your Routine
Seasonal essential oil fragrances can enrich the air in your home and provide better moods for you throughout the year. Here are a few tips on how to seamlessly integrate these scents into your daily life:
- Diffusion: Put some essential oil diffuser next to you to flood your space with the lovely smells of the season. This method is useful, as aromatherapy can be enjoyed and a pleasant atmosphere is created at the same time.
- Layering: Drip on different essential oils to create a fragrance that is tailored toward your personality and how you want to come across to those around you. As long as the scents complement each other feel free to not hesitate to mix and match.
- Body Care: Add essential oils to your skincare regime. A few drops of your favorite seasonal oil in lotions or body oils will deliver the treatment not only for your skin but also add a fragrant touch, too.
- Candles: Make your scented candles with essential oils. Not only does this DIY approach give your space amazing aromas, but it also creates a warm inviting ambiance.
