Smells. No one talks about them much but they really can make or break your home. They are impactful. They effect mood. They create associations and memories.
If you go somewhere that smells horrid, you’ll usually have a hard time concentrating. On the flip side, if you go somewhere that smells amazing, you likely be more attracted to that place and naturally happier.
If a positive smell can create a more positive mood, it’s time we take a minute and re-evaluate what our house smells like. Since our house is the place we spend a good part of our life it’s kinda important. 😉

Keep an eye on the candles. Coffee beans and cinnamon sticks will both catch fire and burn, so be careful.
