Embrace Aromatherapy: Setting Intentions for a Fragrant New Year!

The turn of the year is always a magical time. The aroma of essential oils diffusing and incense burning around this time fills me with a sense of reflection and anticipation. It's a reminder of the beautiful moments of the past year and a promise of the beauty yet to come.

One way to ensure an amazing new year is to set intentions, or as some prefer to call it, New Year's resolutions. These aren't just tasks on a checklist but small and meaningful changes that can enrich our lives, give us something to look forward to, and add fun to our everyday routine. And here's an idea: why not combine your intentions with the power of aromatherapy?

Aromatherapy isn't just about using essential oils for their therapeutic benefits. It's also about choosing oils that resonate with you, stimulate your focus and energy, and bolster your confidence. These oils can be your aromatic allies in fulfilling your New Year's resolutions.

This year, I encourage you to choose an essential oil that you love but don't use often, and make it your 'New Year's Oil.' Blend this oil, or diffuse it alone while setting your intentions for the coming year. To keep your resolution in mind and to keep your spirits high, make a roll-on blend with this oil and keep it handy throughout the year.

Here's a suggestion for a refreshing and uplifting blend...

For the blend, I chose Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), a beautifully versatile oil that blends harmoniously with most essential oils. It's also gentle on skin, balancing out any potential sensitivity caused by spicier oils. Alternatively, Lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) is a great option, known for its calming and relaxing properties.

Resolution Reminder Blend

Apply this blend throughout the day to keep your New Year's resolutions fresh in your mind and to boost your confidence.

Ingredients:

  • 10 ml Jojoba Wax (Simmondsia chinensis)

  • 6 drops Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis)

  • 4 drops of Your New Year's Oil

Equipment:

One 10 ml glass bottle with a roller ball top

Directions:

  1. Combine the jojoba and essential oils in the bottle.

  2. Snap the roller ball top into place.

  3. Roll the bottle between your palms to blend the ingredients.

With the power of aromatherapy supporting your intentions, what are your goals for the New Year?

Here are a few suggestions:

  1. Freshen up your kitchen every week with the invigorating aroma of Lemon.

  2. Start a blog about your experiences with essential oils.

  3. Explore and grow your collection of conifer essential oils.

  4. Create your own skincare products using natural butters and oils.

  5. Turn your passion into profit by starting a small business selling natural perfumes.

  6. Educate yourself about the safe and effective use of essential oils to share knowledge and lead a more natural lifestyle.

Remember, no matter your goals, the journey begins with education. Aromahead is always here to help guide you on this fragrant path. Make your New Year a truly aromatic one!
