I recently started diffusing essential oils in the home. Not only is it satisfying, it's fun to use. The variety of essential oils is vast and practical. One can get calming, uplifting, cleansing, sensual. It may sound hoaxy. But the oils really can lift the mood or calm the mind (in my experience).
Even as a young child, I never liked the chemical scent of air fresheners. But essential oils are a different story. They are genuine organic oils (by organic, I mean not man made -- but some are certified organic too).

I've been picking the weeds in the yard and putting them in little jars around the house. They may be called weeds. But to me, they are beautiful. Nutritious too! Before the flowers bloom, I literally eat the dandelions, make creeping charlie tea, and mint tea. Yes, we have tons of mint. It is quite aggressive and will take over if given the chance. I'm okay with that. I love mint. I used to have some little containers like porcelain creamers and tiny vases. I can't seem to find them. But with spring here and summer not too far off, I plan to find some little vessels for holding the tiniest of flowers. I think I may press some...
