Why Wax Melts Can Boost Your Mood!"
Good morning, everyone! It’s Vashti here, and I hope you’re all having a lovely Saturday. My day didn’t go quite as planned Yesterday, I sent Elysha off to school, expecting a peaceful day to get on with my work. But not long after, the school rang to say they wanted me to come and collect her because she wasn’t feeling well.
Now, here’s the funny bit: every time I keep Elysha off school because she’s unwell, the school always questions my daughter, But if they decide to send her home, apparently that’s completely fine! It seems they can send her home whenever they like, but if I keep her off it’s like I’m in the wrong. Classic, right? So, off I went to collect her, so she can be at home feeling perfectly fine and watching YouTube — as teenagers do!
So, while Elysha is “recovering” (and no doubt binge-watching her favourite videos), I’m here writing the blog instead of her — as you might have guessed, she’s not exactly revising for exams. But, no worries, let’s get on with it!
Today, I thought we’d talk about something that always helps me stay calm and focused amidst the chaos of daily life — wax melts!
You probably already know that lighting a wax melt can fill your home with a gorgeous fragrance, but did you know it can also have a positive impact on your mood and wellbeing? There’s actual science behind it! Let’s take a look at the science of scent and how your favourite wax melts can boost your mood.
The Science of Scent
Your sense of smell is more powerful than you might think. It’s directly linked to the part of your brain that controls emotions and memories. So, when you light a wax melt, it’s not just about the lovely fragrance — it’s actually helping to shift your mood, calm your nerves, and even give you the energy you need to keep going.
Here’s why scent is so important:
1. Mood Boosters: Ever walked into a room and instantly felt more relaxed because it smells amazing? That’s the power of scent. Some fragrances help you unwind and de-stress, while others can give you the energy you need to power through the day.
2. Memory and Emotion: Scent is deeply connected to memory and emotion. A fragrance can instantly take you back to a special moment in time — like a holiday or a family gathering. These positive associations can improve your mood and make you feel happier.
3. A Natural Stress Reliever: Feeling a little stressed? A calming fragrance can help ease your nerves and bring a sense of peace. It’s like having your own mini spa experience at home — especially useful when life throws a few curveballs, like when the school calls to send your child home!
How You Can Harness the Power of Scent
Now that you know a bit more about the science of scent, here’s how you can make the most of it:
Relaxation: After a long day, lighting a relaxing wax melt can help you unwind. It’s like a little escape, without having to leave your home.
Energy Boost: If you’re feeling sluggish or need a bit of extra motivation, energising scents can give you the lift you need. Perfect for those days when you’ve got a lot to do, or when you’ve just been called out for yet another school run!
Focus and Productivity: Whether you’re working from home or tackling your to-do list, certain fragrances can help improve focus. It’s like a little productivity boost in a melt!
So next time you light a wax melt, remember it’s not just about the fragrance. It’s about boosting your mood, reducing stress, and making your day a little bit brighter.
