1. Dust accumulation in your room leads to allergies and other health problems so having a good spring clean is a good place to start. You can make your own dust spray using essential oils, vinegar and olive oil. We found a great recipe here. It uses lemon essential oil which is known for its cleansing and purifying qualities and will make your home smell so good!

2. Pleasant aromas will always have a profound effect on your mood. Start using therapeutic scents like our Sleepy Head, Calm Atmosphere Mist or Restore Atmosphere Mist. They not only have aromatherapeutic benefits on calming and balancing moods but the ingredients like lavender and eucalyptus essential oil are known to have cleansing and antibacterial benefits.

3. Eliminate unnecessary pieces of furniture. Don't let your rooms look cramped, especially if the whole family is at home. Instead, keep the essentials and maintain a minimalistic design in your room. Lesser the clutter, bright the room.

4. Open curtains and draw up your blinds in the morning, more natural sunlight will make your room look bigger and brighter. Ensure your room is properly ventilated too.

5. You don't always need to have fresh flowers to uplift your mood. Instead try having a Happy Aromatherapy Soy Candle, which will not only boost your mood, it will also energise you if you are feeling low energy. Place these candles strategically around the room and you don’t even need to light them up regularly. Just having them in the room will spread the pleasant aroma.

6. Add a few drops of essential oil like lavender, eucalyptus or lemon into the filter of your vacuum cleaner. The aroma of the essential oil detoxifies and cleanse your room.

7. Purify the energy in the atmosphere by burning dried sage, or using our Purify mist, which contains sage, oregano and lemon, all known for their abilities to clear negative or stagnant energy. Just mist in all four corners of the rooms, by the entrance and add a mantra as you do.   

 8. Turn your shower into a spa. If you have eucalyptus growing in your garden, or can get some from a friend, tie a bunch to your shower - The steam will infuse with the eucalyptus leaves creating a therapeutic shower experience. Eucalyptus is great for respiratory problems and the aroma uplifts moods.
