Essential Oils

I've said it more than once. More like a million. But its the little things for me. I am just discovering the wonderfulness of essential oils. I won't pretend to know everything there is to know about it. But I'm really interested in learning more. I always put a Altoid mint in my mouth first thing because its so pepperminty (yeah I made that word up, roll with it!) that it blasts through the fog in my brain in the morning and gets me up and going just by that punch of mint to my senses. So the other day I was feeling really anxious so I took some lavender oil to work and was going to put it in my warmer in the office and just see if that would work on calming me. The thing is, the guys at the shop loathed the smell of lavender. Way to girly for them. (Um, whatever, see the door? It says exit.) But to be nice I turned the warmer off for a bit but my anxiety returned. Then I had a lightbulb moment. I had recently attached a ribbon through my hoodie zipper that I always wear. Long story on the ribbon, but just keep rolling with it. Anyhoo... I saw the ribbon and was like AH HA!! Grabbed the essential oil and put some on the ribbon. Viola! A subtle scent of lavender wafting up to my senses and the calming began again. I am absolutely giddy at this simple but ingenious idea. Looking forward to trying different scents for moments like those. Thats it. Just a little ah ha moment that I thought I'd share. Hope it helps some of you. Have a blessed and amazing day!
