I use aromatherapy all the time! I grow my own herbs and use lavendar a lot! I am also a candle freak. Not only the fragrance - but the soft light.

I agree. The scent of lavender really calms me. I have some lavender essence spray that I spray on my pillow before I go to bed.

Lavender is one my my all time faves...especially when I can find time for a long bath.
I haven't found any quality scented lavender lately...any suggestions?

Hi DS friends...not sure if this is ok or not...but I entered one of my guinea pigs in a photo contest...and we need your votes. For the month of April - I'm asking all my pals to vote at least once a day (it says only one vote per computer) so that we can at least get in the running.
I know this has nothing to do with depression - but my animals (as you have heard me go on and on about) are my shining lights in my life.
I am very grateful for anyone that will participate daily. Here is the link - SHE'S PHOTO #7 - Candi - the white fluffy guinea pig sitting by the Christmas Sleigh.

Aromatherapy is the best. I am really into it actually. I am smelling lemon basil as we speak. It is has the effect of keeping me alert and it helps me concentrate.

I must say it is pretty cool that there is a essential oil called Melissa (that is my name) and its main feature is to help with depression. cool huh?

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
