If you are looking for a nontraditional wreath this year, you definitely need to check out the Lindsay Wreath. It is handcrafted and made from olive, bay, and eucalyptus branches. The branches are harvested from California groves, and, over time, dry to a beautiful silvery green. It smells better than any wreath we have ever had. They should bottle this scent, because I would definitely buy it! I have my wreath on my front door, and everyone who has seen it wants to know where I got it from! The best part is that the proceeds from the wreath sales go to The Meals On Wheels Association of America. It is also packaged gift ready with a card. You do need to allow about two weeks for delivery, and you must order by December 11 to get it by Christmas Eve.

I truly am enjoying my Lindsay Wreath and highly recommend you get one for your house too!

Did you know . . . .

• There are over 1,000 different kinds of “smellers” in your nose?
  • Test show a 40% improvement in mood when exposed to a pleasant scent.
  • The average human being is able to recognize approximately 10,000 different odors.
  • Your nose can smell directionally, telling you where an odor originates.
  • A woman’s sense of smell is keener than a man’s.
  • No two people smell the odor the same way.

With that being said, it isn’t all that surprising that you can get cards that actually smell.  Scentsational Greeting has come up with a way to add scents to their cards, and let me tell you, they smell wonderful.  I was amazed at how good they smell.  Their signature scents include lavender, vanilla, ocean breeze, lemon, roses, and coffee.  They even have a holiday line including peppermint, christmas tree, and gingerbread.  All you have to do is gently rub the front of the card to release the awesome scents.  They have card for just about every event too.

If you want to send a unique card that everyone will love, check out Scentsational Greeting.  You’ll be the talk of your friends and family.

Want your kids to enjoy bath time even more? You have to get WettGiggles soap then.  I can honestly say that this has to be the cutest soap I have ever seen.  WettGiggles is actually a 3 in one product.  First, you have the soap.  It is made with natural glycerin, essentials oils, and shea butter.  The soap doesn’t dry out your skin and is actually quite nice to use.  Then there is the toy on top.  Lastly, in the soap there is a manicure brush to help get at the kid’s fingernails.  There are nine unique characters, and each has its own scent.  For example, Cupid, the pup, is coconut banana scented, and Juliet, the duck, is orange scented.  The scents also aren’t knock you over overwhelming, so they can be used in a house where heavy scents are an issue.  These also make an excellent talking point when you put them by your sink!  Everyone will ask where you got them from!

This definitely falls under a unique Christmas gift that every child will enjoy (and some parents too!).

Are you like me?  Are you allergic to life itself?  You may laugh at this statement, but I have had allergy testing done.  I was allergic to every single thing I was tested for.  This is why I say I am allergic to life itself.  My only chance at a normal life was to get allergy shots.  However, they were not sure if that would actually get rid of all of my allergies.  I was not about to get three years of shots of something that they were not sure was going to work.  I pretty much ended up where I started.  I take it day by day, and if it is really bad, I take Claritin.

Clorox Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric Spray is a lifesaver for people like me.  It is one of the easiest ways to reduce your common indoor allergens.  The biggest indoor allergens are a cat dander, dog dander, and dust mites.  They make up to 90% of the allergens in your home.  They can easily build up in soft surfaces such as cushions, upholstered fabrics, curtains, carpets, bedding, and stuffed animals.  Clorox Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric Spray is super easy to use to get rid of this.  All you have to do is spray the items that you suspect are harboring allergens.  It chemically breaks apart the allergens, and does not leave behind a harmful residue.

I personally liked that it did not leave a scent either.  I have a husband who is super sensitive to scents and perfumes, so this is extremely helpful in my house.  it is also gentle and enough to use around kids and pets.  This will retail for approximately $2.99 and can be located in the home care aisle of most stores.  For me, $2.99 is well worth allergy relief.  Even if you aren’t allergic, do you really want all that floating around your home?
