My Favorite Scents of Nature (and More!!!)

I have a love for scented things. I love scented soaps, lotions, candles, air fresheners, shampoos, body washes...etc. I have recently found out (didn't know this before) that Seventh Generation has a wonderful line of scented Natural Dish Liquids and they sound just fabulous!!!

I would love to share some of my favorite scents with you all today and tell you where they "take me" as a woman, a mom and a home maker!

My first scent that is probably my favorite is lemon. Whenever I clean with lemon-scented cleaners it just freshens up my home so much. I also love to throw lemon peels down my kitchen disposal to freshen that up a bit. As you know (if you have a disposal), they can get rather stinky and nasty at times so they need some T.L.C. quite often. I cannot help but think about miles and miles of lemon trees...full of fresh lemons just waiting for me to pick!
The second scent that I especially love during the fall season is apple. I have a Rainbow vacuum cleaner and when I use that I can add scents to the water so that the air smells nice after vacuuming. With my scents that I can add to the water I have a cinnamon apple scented liquid that smells amazing. When I am done cleaning, my home smells awesome. I also have a plethora of apple scented candles that I specifically save for the harvest season and love to burn them in my kitchen especially.

The next scent that I really do enjoy is Bath and Body Works Wild Honeysuckle. Unfortunately, this scent has been discontinued and I can no longer buy it in the stores (but I can online!!!!). I really whined to the company when this happened because this was the only scent that I loved from them and wore exclusively. (My whining hasn't paid off yet though...bleh). It has such a subtle yet floral scent that infuses the air around me and I just love inhaling the aroma. It kind of reminds me of a summer flower garden...sweet and beautiful. I am hoping that one day they bring it back as it was definitely one of my favorites.

Another scent that I love to have in my home is vanilla. One of the reasons why is because vanilla can be combined with so many other scents to create beautiful mosaics of aroma therapies. Just like in baking, it just adds so much to scents! My candle selection also includes many vanilla scents as well. :)

Last but not least I really love the scent of Johnson's Baby Lotion. Yes, I know it is not a "nature" scent per say, but as a mom, it is a scent that I have grown to love throughout my years of motherhood. There is just nothing like picking up a freshly bathed baby and burying your head into their skin and smelling their baby soft scent. Wow. My son is 17 months and I still use it on him after each and every bath. Yes, he is getting bigger, but it just helps to remind me of the baby that is still in him.

So, there you have it! My list of my favorite scents! What about you? What are some of your favorites? Do you have one that you cannot live without? Share with us your thoughts and don't forget to stop and smell the beautiful scents that nature has to offer. :)

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
