Incense, Candles, Etc...
I have developed allergies over the past few years. I am limited in scents that don't irritate me.
When I am having quiet, meditative time or just want my home to smell yummy I go to my trusty faves incense: Nag Champa and or Sandalwood I have candles all around my house but they are unscented. To scent them I use Aura Cacia scented oils like Rose Lavender Pepermint Lemongrass Ylang ylang |

I started mixing lavender oil and sweet orange oil with some witch hazel and distilled water in a little spray bottle, and every morning I mist it all over my face. While I inhale it I try to relax and get myself psyched for a good day.

I tried spritzing my pillow with some lavender oil before I went to bed. Didn't seem to relax me too much? I will keep trying every night for a little while tho.

I'm tempted to get some new essential oils. I only have about 6 right now.
I think the ones I have are: Sweet orange Cinnamon Lemongrass Rosemary Palmarosa Lavender Does anybody have a favorite or go-to oil that they would recommend?

My favorite scent (right now) is Bath & Body Works Marshmallow Fireside. I have a couple candles and wallflower in that scent.
I'll probably switch over to more summery scents here soon. I usually skip over spring scents since they tend to be floral and irritate my allergies.

I'm burning a candle right now I got as a gift. It's a layered candle in scents of Poundcake, Vanilla Buttercream and Snickerdoodle. So far it's very soothing and nostalgic. I also had a Better Homes and Gardens candle in Cranberry Apple Martini that was surprisingly luscious.
I use oils for quite a few uses - I find it's best to use oils for my perfume, for example, because regular perfume or eau d'toilette can be overpowering with my body chemistry. My favorite is a clementine/mandarin mix that's just amazing. I use it for perfume and for my home. Love love love essential oils.
