Spa treatments are great ways to ease stress in both mind and body. However, frequent trips to these relaxing facilities can also bring some stress on the household budget. Fortunately, there are practical ways to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of spa treatments without leaving the house. My personal pick is a combination of dim lights, soft music, and scented candles while enjoying a warm bath in the tub. Scented candles and oils are great tools for creating a relaxing ambiance in the house but one has to be particular with the quality of the candles and their scents for it to be effective.
I accidentally discovered a good scented candle brand when one of my friends gave away some tea light candles from Soy Serenity during a housewarming party. It had an interesting blend of Ylang, amber and woods. Ylang Ylang flowers are native to the Philippines and are known for their strong sweet floral fragrance. Its scent can help sharpen the senses and soothe the temper, and there are some who even find it a bit sedating. I found the combination of the floral and earthy scents of these soy candles simply great for the bedroom and the bathroom where I can alternate them with my usual lavender scents. It was a good thing that these Soy Serenity Candles are available online at candleshop.com. I already got myself a Large Jar Candle with the Ylang and Amber scent when my tea lights ran out, and further discovered that they have longer burn time than my previous brands. As an added bonus, these candles turned out to be eco-friendly too.
These lovely scents can also be perfect gifts for fellow homemakers who need stress relief from their daily toils. Since my Serenity Soy Candles are about to burn out, I recently placed another order along with several jars and tins for gifting this coming Mother’s Day. I couldn’t resist their promo for $30 off on a $100 purchase, it was an opportunity to get big savings and give away some great tokens for my own mom and other moms that I love.
