How can we find more time for ourselves? With the current economic situation we are in, it is more and more difficult to find time to do anything beyond working longer hours, which doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon, and family time is spent shuttling the kids to and from their events and activities, or to school and back. Quick dinners. No spare time? Help!
How can we catch a break? It is time to find and focus on your “personal space.”
Personal space is what surrounds us throughout our daily activities. Here are some tips to get your day started on the right foot and continue until you turn off the lights at night to go to sleep.
When you take your morning shower, use a “Shower Steamer,” which releases essential oils in your shower and gives you a personal spa experience. This is a real wake me up and gets your day started with spa scents. Make sure you have the all natural Poo Pourri in the bathroom, as well, to cover any, ahem, odor from the toilet. Poo Pourri covers the water in the toilet bowl, and the only odor that escapes is the fresh scent of citrus, flowers or men’s cologne, depending on your personal choice.
Hopping in the car? Have a car gel from Yankee Candle or Woodwick hanging in your car in your very favorite scent to mellow the mood in the car, especially if you have a car full of kids. Also, have in your car the new hand sanitizer from Yankee Candle, where 99.9 percent of germs are killed when you rub this on your hands, and there is no alcohol smell wafting over you. Only the scent of Yankee Candle favorites!
If you are going to work at an office, or have your work to do at home, choose a Reed Diffuser in your space that calms you and makes you more productive. This is your own signature scent; we recommend one of the best-selling Archipelago Botanicals fragrances in the perfect scent for each season.
At the end of the day, light a scented jar candle at home to continue the personal fragrancing you started in the morning. Also a good way to cover cooking odors and gets you back in the right frame of mind as your day winds down.
You can also light a Lavender scent or other calming fragrance in your bedroom to help prepare you for a good nights sleep. Of course, only have a candle lit in any room where you are going to be at a given time. Never leave a flame unattended.
With these affordable home scent options, you will look forward to every day with a cup half full attitude. Bring it on!
