Cozy Recipes for the Cooler Months

Fall is that wonderful transition season when we begin to slow down after the busyness of summer and start enjoying a little more time indoors. We especially love when the trees change their colors into a beautiful tapestry of reds, greens and yellows.

The season calls for warming spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper and clove. These spices were the inspiration for our fall DIY roundup. We have some great recipes that are perfect for the home and great for holiday gift giving.

DIY Essentials for the Changing Seasons

As the seasons change and the days get shorter, darker and cooler, this can have an impact on our moods. Essential oils can be a powerful tool in your arsenal to get you through the transition. Why? Because essential oils can have a powerful effect on your limbic system. The limbic system is the part of the brain involved in our behavioral and emotional responses. When we breathe in an essential oil, the vapors enter the nose and the receptors send a signal to your limbic system. An example of the limbic system at work would be smelling apple pie and it conjuring up childhood memories of your mother baking or the smell of a certain perfume taking you back to an event in your life. Scents can have a profound effect on our mood. For example, Lavender can promote relaxation while peppermint can be energizing.We’ve rounded up some simple DIY’s for you with essential oils that uplift you, promote relaxation when the stress of the day has been too much, and empower you when you’re feeling down.
