Members of my family were coming to visit for a special holiday. I decided to fill the house with one of my favorite scents, Belle Aroma® Balsam Peru, by diffusing it in my Esprit de Fleur™ Essential Oil Nebulizer. When they walked in, I would watch to see if anyone noticed and how they reacted.

My husband and I celebrated our 44th anniversary last month! It got me thinking about the time prior to our meeting. I had determined in my 21 years of living that I didn’t want to marry a farmer or a janitor. Now, don’t get me wrong: I have nothing against farmers or janitors. I just knew that wasn’t the life for me.

Being a child in wintry Iowa, I learned at an early age the enjoyment of scent. I only lived there for 6 years to begin with but that was long enough to experience cold and snow deep enough to play in. Each time we would get a snowstorm my mom would bundle my older brother and I up to go outside to play. You know the drill.
