If you’ve walked into a Day Spa, a New Age book shop, or Asian Imports store, you might associate the memory with the calming aroma of essential oils. It’s no mystery why Aromatherapy  — a range of alternative or complementary therapies that use essential oils and other aromatic plant compounds — is so popular. Everyone loves an inviting scent,  and it’s easy to create a relaxing atmosphere in your home using incense, candles or an essential oil diffuser.  But sometimes you might want your aromatherapy to be a bit more personal and portable.  For those occasions, let me introduce you to Mood Food.

When your apartment has limited tabletop and storage space, it’s especially fun to discover one product that can replace two or three devices you use regularly. Are you fond of infusing your home with comforting scents? And do you love to set a mood with colorful lighting? Perhaps you are also in the market for a small humidifier to offset the drier indoor air during winter months. If you’re feeling any or all of these scenarios, then you will want to check out the Innogear Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser.

You may not be aware that September is World Candle Month; an annual opportunity to recognize the amazing candle, its impact throughout history, and the role candles play in our daily lives. This year’s theme is Illuminate Your Life, and is dedicated to the ways candles light up our world and fragrance our homes.

Website of the Day: Serenity By Jan

Serenity by Jan: “Smell the Serenity”

Here’s another awesome website discovery for fans of The Office: Serenity By Jan Candles. Operated secretly by NBC / Universal’s Merchandise Store, Serenity By Jan sells the same aromatherapy candles made by Michael Scott’s ex-boss and former lover, Jan Levinson Gould. The candles are sold in sets of four selected scents such as Merlot Morning (Merlot), Enchantmint (Peppermint), Hunter Green (Apple Spice) and Bottled Water (Cucumber/Melon) for what I’d say is a pretty reasonable price of just $15 per set. With Christmas coming up, I’m thinking these candles would make a great gift for any Office fanatic. Be sure to check out the site’s hilarious fake testimonials by various employees of Dunder Miflin.
