I’ve often heard, “You look like your mom but act like your dad.” I take it as a compliment and hope I’ve inherited the best of both worlds. Recently, on a quiet Sunday morning, I decided to channel my mom. She loved to dress up for nice occasions, and while she didn’t have access to the aromatherapy tools we have today, I think she would’ve adored the Belle Aroma® Aromatherapy Scent Pendant I wore that day.

This modern pendant is a beautiful twist on her classic finishing touch. The Aromatherapy Scent Pendant kit includes a delicate filigree locket with a ribbon necklace, a porous ceramic lotus flower insert, and a bottle of calming Belle Aroma® Lavender Essential Oil. Lavender is known to promote relaxation, lower heart rate, and ease anxious feelings. On this particular Sunday, as I prepped a cozy dinner for friends, it worked like a charm—helping keep the energy calm and the to-do list from becoming overwhelming.

Dinner was a comforting spread: Balsamic Roast Pork, roasted potatoes, a salad made with produce from our garden, homemade bread with pear butter, and jars of spicy and sweet pickles. For dessert, we shared pumpkin bread and coffee around the table. Everything came together beautifully—and I wasn’t a bundle of nerves, which I consider a win.

Since salad was on the table, I served a batch of this quick, flavorful Balsamic Vinaigrette—a recipe from Jess Smith at Inquiring Chef. It’s simple to make and endlessly useful.

Balsamic Vinaigrette

Serves 8

Ingredients:

• 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
• 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs (I like Italian seasoning)
• ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Fresh cracked black pepper

Directions:
In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey, and herbs. Slowly add in olive oil while whisking until emulsified. You can also blend using an immersion blender or shake well in a jar with a lid. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Personal tip: I prefer using an immersion blender for a smoother texture. Toss it with greens, feta, kalamata olives, cucumber, red onion, and grilled chicken—dinner is done!

Editor’s Note:

The Belle Aroma® Aromatherapy Scent Pendant is most commonly used by hanging it in small personal spaces like closets, lockers, or cars. While some enjoy wearing it as a subtle way to carry scent throughout the day, keep in mind that essential oils are highly concentrated. If the oil comes into contact with skin or clothing, it may cause irritation or staining—especially for those with sensitivities. For safe use, allow the oil to fully absorb into the ceramic insert before wearing, and avoid over-saturating.
