The power of scent is remarkable. It can have an immediate effect on our minds and emotions. Especially during these bleak winter months, I find that diffusing essential oils is a simple way to enhance my mood. I am not a pro aromatherapist, but these essential oil blends help mentally transport me to a luxury spa… even in the middle of a stressful workday.

Tap into your creativity. Mix & match different essential oils until you discover your favorite combinations. Learn about their aromatherapy benefits (lavender = relaxing, citrus= energizing) and play around until you find blends that you love.

Where to Buy Essential Oils

The best brand that I’ve discovered is Vitruvi - the oils are luxurious and potent. I also like the brand Aura Cacia, which is sold at Target and Whole Foods, so it’s convenient to restock while running errands.

I hope that these custom essential oil blends bring a moment of peace and happiness to your day, just like you’d experience at a luxury spa.
