Lovely Lemon Faves
/This week’s post is a quick one. I don’t know about you, but this time of year is a little dreary for me. It’s not really winter anymore, but sometimes it is – especially in Utah where you can wait five minutes or travel five miles and the weather will be different! And it’s not quite spring yet either. My skin is dry, my hair is dry, my fingers are cracked and bleeding, and as much as we need the moisture, the cloudy days are hard for me! So to bring some happy sunshine to a cloudy day, I turn to my aromatherapy products! The sense of smell has a stronger link to memory and emotion than any of the other senses. I don’t know what it is, but things that smell good are LIGHT givers for me! I tend to have a stash at any given time of yummy smell-good products ready for a last minute gift, or to replenish my empty bottles.
I have favorites that I use for different times of the year. In the past year, two of my favorite companies have come out with new Lemon scented products! I’m finicky about things that smell lemony. I don’t like it too sweet, and I don’t like it to smell fake either – it has to smell like a real live lemon. For my dishes and a fresh clean kitchen scent, there’s nothing like “Lemon Leaf” by Thymes. The dish soap makes any cloudy day happy, and your glassware will sparkle and shine. Sometimes I just fill the sink up with hot water and Lemon dish soap just to smell it throughout the house. The countertop spray makes everything feel and smell clean and sunny!
My favorite lotions and body washes come from The Body Shop. If you are looking for a quick pick-me-up their “Lemon Purifying Hair & Body Wash” followed by their “Lemon Protecting Hand & Body Lotion” smells just like a fresh cut lemon! You just can’t sniff it enough!
You can find Thymes products at Harmon’s grocery store here in Utah, but they tend to sell out quickly. You can also order them online from the “Thymes” website, or on Amazon. The Body Shop products can be picked up at their only store in Utah at Fashion Place Mall, ordered directly from their website, or on Amazon.
So now that we have sprung an hour ahead with daylight saving time to confuse our biological time clocks for a few days, grab a bottle of lovely lemon scented therapy, and your cloudy day will suddenly fill with sunshine!!! It’s LIGHT in a bottle! Have a wonderful week!
Love Ya, Les :)
