31 Days - Making your House your Home - Aromatherapy...

Do you notice smells when you walk into other people's homes?  I sure do!  Sometimes it's amazing - like when you arrive for Thanksgiving dinner and smell that heavenly turkey.  Or go to a birthday party and walk in immediately smelling that signature 'cake' aroma.  Sometimes it's not good at all - pets or cigarette smoke for example.

I think that welcoming aromas make a house feel cozy and warm.  I like to think others feel the same way.  To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of what I call 'artificial aromas' - like room sprays and Glade Plug-ins.  I like the more natural ones - like apple pie.  Wait, maybe I just like apple pie??  The smell of baking, baking anything, just makes a home seem like a home - lived in and loved.

I do love a good candle though.  My favorite being Buttercream from Yankee. Worth. Every. Penny.

I also love the smell of a clean house.  Especially if someone else has cleaned it.  In my house that means vinegar, since that's what I use to clean most of the time.  Pinesol is cool too.


What are your favorite aromas?  Candles or otherwise.
