Trick your brain into thinking you’re in warm, sunny Hawaii instead of cold, dark Michigan.

Snow days are fun when you’re a kid…not so much when you’re an adult.

You’re either forcing your car to commute in conditions the schools thought weren’t safe (hello employer, maybe that means adults should stay home too!)

OR your entire day is thrown off by your kiddos being home.

Either way, you will need something uplifting and warming to make your day a bit better.

Let’s get a little sciency…

Bergamot is a go-to oil in my mood boost repertoire.

It’s full of Limonene, Linalyl acetate, Linalool, and a few more cool chemical constituents.

Real talk? These natural chemicals help your brain feel more like it’s on a beach in Hawaii than in snowy, dark Michigan.

Yes, please!

Now Cinnamon Bark is very interesting. It’s up to 80% Cinnamaldehyde which makes it a fabulous choice for a warming scent that also can help repel insects AND help with immune function.

No-one wants to deal with bugs this time of year – especially those nasty kid bugs 🙂

The Bergamot/Cinnamon combo is uplifting, refreshing and has that warming scent of a beautiful snowfall.

I hope you enjoy the blend as much as I do – and your next snow day is spent snuggled up inside.
