Fabulous Finds Friday #9 The Scent of Citrus

By -

One of my favorite things to do is take long, hot showers. It’s alone time at it’s best and adding one of my favorite scents to create an aromatherapy atmosphere only makes it better. Some of the scents I use are, Lavender, Peppermint, Rosemary, to name a few. But lately I have been indulging myself in a favorite that I absolutely enjoy, citrus.

 One of the wholefoods store that I go to sells their own natural bars of soap and I can go a little over board when I’m buying them. It’s to the point where Hubby asks, “you think you’ve got enough”, LOL. What can I say, I love what I love and enjoy what I enjoy and I aim to please, myself! Eventually though, I’m going to make my own. It’s a project the kids and I have been looking forward to doing. I have a few recipes just waiting for me to make the time to do it. I also buy my soaps from a company called, Melaleuca. They sell a bar of soap called, the gold bar, it is to die for. If you ever want to try something new, start with that one for your soap needs. Trust, you will love it if lemon scents work for you.
Some of the effects of citrus scents is that it is said to have an uplifting, refreshing, and cheering up effect. This I’ve noticed to be so true. It really picks me up and brightens my spirits. It’s one of the essential oil scents I add to my massages from time to time.
I enjoy turning my bathroom into my own personal wet sauna, and cracking open a fresh pack of lemon scented soap to be drifted away into a state of sweet and pure bliss. I love getting down like that!

    Oh cool!!! Citrus is my favorite too! But I also enjoy tropical scents like papaya. I just realized I purchase these scents in hand soaps, dish detergents, body washes, etc. I hardly buy any other scents. I'm truly a fan.

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
