Why Natural Scents Work so Well and Other Wellness Musings

It has been a summer of dedicated work building this beautiful eco-business. One of my desires is to continue to source high-quality eco-friendly ingredients for everything I make. Something I am loving lately has been the gentle blending of oils and plant-derived ingredients to create bursts of scent. Scent is so deeply personal and nostalgic! 

At first I felt nervous that my natural products wouldn't be a hit out in the big wide world and now I am getting positive feedback about the scents being natural and not lingering too long like other artificial scents. 

It simply isn't the same as the long lasting lingering scents that "stick" with you from the artificial types of scents. And this is a good thing! 

As I am always learning and creating good healthful habits in my personal life so too am I bringing this to every product I make.

In my past I have gone back and forth on the joys of spray perfumes, for example, only now to realize I want to minimize my exposure to many of the harmful additives so many contain. I also have been constantly seeking to eliminate single-use plastics from my home and have been focusing on incorporating more whole foods into my meals. 

I also recognize I am the type of "crunchy" wellness person who loves to drink whole berry elderberry tea in a metal strainer while also enjoying a diet soda from time to time.

It is my dream to bring this balance to my business now and for the many months and years ahead. So as we enter the steamy days of August here's to finding what works for each of us while supporting our health in the broadest sense.
