Since my days usually start before the sunrise I have to wake up to something really energizing and revitalizing to get myself going. I program my coffee maker to start brewing coffee right around the time I get up, so that the smell could get me into the morning tune.
As I get ready in the morning I put my daily scent on. I usually change this scent every season and I love using Pacifica natural perfumes collection. First of all, because it's all natural, which is very important. Secondly, because Pacifica has this whole collection of scents in various forms: candles, shower gels, perfumes, lotions and etc. In addition to regular daily perfume I also buy a roll-on version to take with me and a solid perfume version that I use on my hands - it smells amazing and moisturizes hands unbelievably great! My current scent this fall is Tuscan Blood Orange.

When I come home and work on some creative projects in my closet room, I burn my Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava candles.
I also love burning Pacifica candles in my dining room and my living room right before going to sleep. I use California Star Jasmine and Island Vanilla.

And to re-freshen my closet room for the night I take my rose petals out and spray them with aromatherapy spray (I did a DIY post on that before).
When I get ready to go out over the weekend, I try not to burn candles in the closet room, because I walk around a lot trying stuff on and etc., so candles can be quite dangerous at that point. That's why I burn Auric Blends incense sticks instead - I love that they're natural and super affordable (10 sticks for $1)
Right before going to sleep I love warming up some lavender oil in the oil warmer to then apply on my cuticles. That way I both - fragrance the room and heat up the oil for the cuticles. The lavender smell is extremely relaxing - perfect for the night!
What is your guys' aromatherapy routine like? Please share your ideas cuz I'm very open to exploring new ways to fragrancing my life in a natural way:-)

love this post Maria!! I have to have glorious scents all around, all day long too.... my current aromatherapy is cinnamon, clove, allspice, star anise & an apple simmering in water on the stove....it's wonderful ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing! I definitely need to give simmering apple a try;-))) Thank you for the tip, Debra Anne!!!
DeleteI bet your home smells amazing with all these scents everyday! I like burning candles and incense too, especially in winter :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lauren! I do my best to have it smell nicely, although natural scents aren't that strong. Candles on a winter night - make me crave Christmas so much!!!;-)
Deletewow. I have never seen anyone being so organized about their aromatherapy. Which is awesome in my opinion! Would love to know more about the Feng shui, honey :)
ReplyDeleteI love citrusy/fresh scents in general, so I go with that :D
Lovely post.

Thank you, Deja! I'm a bit of control freak, yeah;-))) I apply Feng Shui to many aspects of my life, so I'll try to do a post on that sometime. And I LOVE citrusy scents as well, especially during the day, cause they're very uplifting!
DeleteI'm a total candle girl. I love burning candles and keep quite a stock of them....You though, take the cake in the aromatherapy department!
ReplyDeleteHa-ha, thanks so much Saimi! It has become a bit of an obsession of mine;-)))
DeleteМаша, представляю, как это ароматно!! Супер!
ReplyDeleteSpasibo bol'shoe, Innochka;-))
DeleteМашенька, интересная статья! Я с одной стороны очень люблю ароматы, но с другой- я аллергик и стараюсь не перебарщивать в запахами, иначе начинаю нещадно чихать))) Позволяю себе расслабиться в ванной с аромамаслами и ароиарасчесывание волос (пару капель эфирного масла на деревянную расческу)
ReplyDeleteTanechka, aromamasla - prosto ideal'niy variant, osobenno kogda est' allergiya. I spasibo ogromnoe za ideyu s raschesivaniem, obyazatel'no nado poprobivat', yverenna, chto eto ochen' priyatno i polezno;-)) Genial'no!!!
DeleteИнтересный пост! Я сама безумно люблю такие ароматы, особенно восточные) Каждый день зажигаю самые разные палочки, свечами, конечно, редко пользуюсь. Еще люблю мыла ручной работы, они безумно вкусно пахнут. Запахи очень хорошо успокаивают и расслабляют, с ними медитировать приятнее)
ReplyDeleteAx, mi s toboy v etom ochen' poxoje, Arianochka! Vostok y nas v krovi;-)))
DeleteАромалампа!! Обожаю такие штучки!) Недавно свою зажигала с лимонным маслом....Что-то не особо в восторге я...))
ReplyDeleteXa-xa, ya dymayu eto iz-za masla - limonnoe paxnet strannovato;-))) poprobuy vanil'ky ili lavandy - eto moi lyubimie...
DeleteIt all sounds so wonderful and relaxing...I need to incorporate more candles into my life :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you definitely should, Katherine! Their effect is amazing;-)))
DeleteMmmmmmm... smells nice over here ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't use any aromatherapy candle or spray at home ('coz of my cats) but I make sure my car smells sweet.. I love sweet / fruity smell.. Perfume is a must for me as it can change my mood instantly..
xoxo
Ha-ha, thank you, Fida! I love fruity and sweet smells also - especially in summer;-)))
DeleteМашенька, я тоже обожаю аромапалочки, свечи и все, что вкусно пахнет!!!
ReplyDeleteAx, Lenochka, mi s toboy dva sapoga para;-)))
DeleteКакой вкусный пост, в плане запахов, я аж почувствовала, аж захотелось что-то зажечь)))
ReplyDeleteя больше всего люблю герань и иланг-иланг и лаванду вечером, апельсин утром, а с хвоей и кедром ванны полезно очень!
а еще как вариант капнут масло на ватный диск и положить на батарею или на подушку (если спать ложишься)!
Marinochka, spasibo tebe ogromnoe za ideyu! Batarey y menya net, no vot ryadom s podyshkoy polojit' bydet zdorovo!!!;-)
DeleteSuch a unique post! Great to read! Xxx
ReplyDeletethanks so much, Abelia;-))
DeleteI like good scents. They can change your mood.
