Stressed Out - Relax

So you are tired and stressed out after a hard day at work or dealing with children all day. You really need peace and quiet. Maybe a soothing spa atmosphere would be nice, but you either don't have the time to do those things, or it is beyond your budget right now. Let me show you a few very simple ways to relax that you can use at any time, without any effort or special knowledge - CANDLES! That's right, using candles. Almost everyone has a candle in the house, most of us have several, and if you don't have one, the nearest store is sure to have a grand selection. I also invite you visit my store by clicking Here

You don't need to have any certain type of candle. Almost any candle will work, tealights, votive candles, pillar candles, soy candles, scented candles, or essential oils with a warming plate. They don’t’ have to be scented, they can be unscented. Of course, scents will help with the relaxation.

Lavender is the fragrance most renowned for it's relaxation benefits in aromatherapy. It's a common ingredient in products aimed at relaxation and stress relief, such as candles, pillows, bath oils, soaps and lotions. This beautiful lavender scented candle product by DiamondCreek can be purchased Here. However not everyone likes Lavender. Some people find other scents that seem to work better for them. For that reason, I recommend that you take into account your own personal preferences in choosing the scented products that are right for you. Other fragrances that have a strong reputation for relaxation are: chamomile, vanilla, ylang ylang, clary sage, bergamot, frankincense, and sandalwood. These fragrances can be purchased at my store also. If you have strong allergies or are highly sensitive to scented products, you may want to choose unscented. The enjoyment of a glowing candle can do wonders. So light a candle and relax.

Light and Scent

Aromatherapy can be defined as the art and science of utilizing naturally extracted aromatic essences from plants to balance, harmonize and promote the health of body, mind and spirit. It is an art and science which seeks to explore the physiological, psychological and spiritual realm of the individual's response to aromatic extracts as well as to observe and enhance the individual's innate healing process.

I know from my own experience how my mood does change when entering a room filled with candle light and the aroma of a wonderful scent. It is very pleasing to ones senses.

One of my favorites is a center piece of floating candles on a beautifully set table. A variety of flower floating candles is available.

These beautiful floating pink rose candles can be seen and purchased Here. I know they would be lovely on your dinning room table for that special dinner or as table center pieces for the upcoming wedding, bridal shower, birthday or ladies affair.
