Surviving the Domestic Jungle

I love lavender. The scent of it I find to be intoxicating. I have tried to have the plants but I kill every plant I have ever come in contact with…including silk ones!!! I have had lavender scented lotion (Shout out to Kennedy Homemade Products!!) soap (again, shout out to Kennedy Homemade Products) candles, body spray and now I am contemplating just buying it in oil form as perfume. I love it. It does something to me. It calms me…it soothes me. It is such a wonderful scent. As I have aged, my tolerance for harsh perfumes and colognes has drastically decreased. When I was barely a teenager, my favorite perfume was Tiffany (as in little blue box Tiffany) and that’s about the same time I got my first bottle. Loved it! I bought a few bottles overtime but quit wearing because I find I get headaches if I smell too much scent. I used to love cologne on men but now I dread the few times my husband sprays his on him. It really irks me when he literally sprays it and then gets in the car boxing me in with the smell! Ugh instant headache. Lavender on the other hand I could smell all day. In fact, when I am done writing this I am going to go get my spray and douse my room! It will be like living in a little English garden…..
