AROMATHERAPY

Today's daily pleasure is that I filled my electric oil burner with hot water from the kettle, and added 8 drops of "Relaxation" pure essential oil. Now my home smells like a day spa and I feel relaxed and a bit more pampered! twitter.com@marmarou

I like to see the colors of the leaves and smell the aroma of spices,such as pumpkin,cinnamen,apples,pears... This weekend were taking our grand children to a pumpkin farm to go on a hay ride to the fields to pick out there pumpkins,then we have warm apple cider,and come home to carve out the faces on the pumpkins, so much fun,and lots of memories for the and us!!! After all that,i love to sink into my tub with lavender oils and sooth myself before bedtime! Bren

POSTED: Tue, 10/04/2011 - 11:35am The chill of fall is starting to arrive. I have a large basket of apples on the table to eat (as well as admire their beautiful color & sweet/tangy aroma)and have begun to simmer a spice mixture on the stove when I'm in the kitchen. It wafts throughout the house and smells like I'm baking buns or pie!

POSTED: Wed, 10/05/2011 - 2:21pm Indian Summer? I'm not really sure any more! Yes, it's been in the 40's but today it's sunny & 70-ish! I do agree that soup is perfect for just about any season.
