Have you started spring cleaning yet?

The transition from winter to spring often makes us crave a fresh, clean living space. It’s finally time to declutter the winter gear and tidy up after spending months cooped up indoors. Liven up your home with fresh flowers, clean countertops, and uplifting essential oils.

Scent and emotion are surprisingly intertwined.

According to this study, just five minutes of exposure to a pleasant smell was shown to be calming and induce a positive mood. Odors are also known to help support energy levels, productivity, and motivation. Your preferences for scent likely change with the seasons depending on your energy and mood. This time of year, we tend to gravitate towards uplifting odors like florals, citrus, and sweet vanilla.
