Nurturing Scents
I have my favorite perfumes but I also enjoy taking a break from the commercial perfumes and using essential oils. Essential oil is readily absorbed by the skin, so just a drop or two will be absorbed throughout the body within 20 minutes and will last for approximately 2 to 3 hours. On my day planner I clip a small prayer box with a few drops of with my favorite oil of the day inside for a quick pick-me-up during the day.
