Had the 2nd one now what?

I have missed writing you, so here I am. I had my two vaccines, now I am ready to let go of some of the fear and apprehension. I want to freely go out with caution and just breathe. Masked up of course. One of the first places I want to go to is the Book Store. I have missed just walking around the book store. Looking at books and magazines and just enjoying the quiet time. I could linger for an hour or more just taking it all in. Well maybe I won’t linger for an hour but I am so looking forward to it!

Next stop, picking up fresh cut flowers, an absolute passion that I have. I love the fragrances and beautiful colors, just being there brings me peace. In my opinion, and it is only my opinion beautiful flowers bring so much joy and hope in your home and life, and let’s not forget fragrance. I still have memories of fragrances that my grandmother had in her home. What’s your favorite? Casablanca, Peonies Peach & Rose, and of course Lavender are three of mine.

I know the Pandemic is not over, but trying to define what this was like would only bring back memories. I can only hope for less anxiety and more peace and calmness in my life and yours. For those of you who have supported our family business Laguna Candles during these unpredictable times. Thank you! Be safe, get out if you can and mask up!

Scents that make you Happy!

Most of us go through life, overlooking the importance of little things which are all around us, while desperately waiting for something big and significant to happen. The truth is that those seemingly little things, if we recognize them can make a huge difference in how we perceive life. A flower in your office, alluring scented candle in your room, a loving pet, a beautiful picture or a meaningful quote attached to the wall right above your computer. Each of them can seriously increase the quality of our being.
One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to take a scented candle and my favorite perfume to enjoy during my stay. While reading and relaxing,  my hotel room becomes my home.
We have a choice to surround ourselves with small reminders to help us to relieve stressful situations and bring peace to our lives. I find that fragrance does that for me.
During everyday activities, we often get lost in doing, thinking, analyzing, projecting, remembering… Most of these processes are problematic and stressful, or more precisely, we are those who make problems of them. This is why it is necessary taking as many breaks as it is possible, in order to retain strength and inner peace. The good news is that you do not need special conditions to get the quick rest from problems. You just need something to divert your attention from them, for a plant or a flower on your worktable. Whenever we bring the attention to anything natural, we become more aware of the present moment, our minds stop working for a while, and we become relaxed .
Refresh your inner space with a room spray or a scented candle. The sense of smell is by far the strongest of our senses. It can detect thousands of different fragrances which forever stay in wrought in man’s memory. Natural scents are capable to calm a mind, relax a body and uplift the energy. Laguna High-end scented candles, can be great substitutes in case you do not have a garden or a park near the house. They can fulfill your personal space with the most refined aromatic blends which, depending on your preferences, can be based on floral, herbal, woodsy or spicy flavors.
Products of the human creativity and pieces of art are also pretty useful tools. Laguna Candles Heirloom Artisan Candles are unique pieces of art and make wonderful gifts. Thus, surround yourself with artworks or your favorite quotes which can inspire, motivate, and make you happy.
