Simple but Spicey Aromatherapy

"Luxury need not have a price - comfort itself is a luxury" - Geoffrey Beene






With the holiday season coming close to its climax, why not take advantage of the holiday spirit and indulge with a blanket and good book or a nice hot bath with the bouquet of a simple homemade aromatic blend.

My favorite method of creating an aromatherapy experience, and not to mention the most penny-wise option, is to mix together a blissful concoction of spices from your pantry. You don't need a recipe, just choose your favorites and blend away! Put a teaspoon or two into your aroma lamp and dilute it with water.

I love to use cinnamon, cloves (buds or ground), nutmeg, and sometimes ginger. And if you happen to have it on hand, orange or lemon zest makes a wonderful addition to your spice mix.

Remember to fit in time to yourself durring this busy holiday season! Enjoy!
