There are a lot of great things about spring. Fresh air, flowers blooming, birds singing, it’s all good. One of the other things I love about spring is that the lighter, airier things start making an appearance. A prime example of this is perfumes and fragrances. Yep, I’m breaking out the light, floral-y scents as we speak. One of my favorite things to do is make my own perfumes using ...
How to Make Your Perfume for Summer + Recipe

I also love vivid colors. I always tell people I’m not afraid of color, and it’s sooo ...
An Introduction to Aromatherapy
This aromatherapy introduction was inspired by 21 Drops. I received press samples. All opinions are my own. My mom is kind of a free spirited hippy. She grew up by the beach in Southern California, and falls pretty squarely into what people nowadays call “crunchy.” Because of this, she’s into natural, somewhat holistic methods. Aromatherapy is included in those methods. ...
