Day 7: Connect with Your Senses

Our sense of smell is very closely associated with our memories. Can you recall the smell of your grade school or your grandparents house? When you smell it, doesn’t it bring a rush of memories?

There are some wonderful smells in winter. No matter what climate you live in, you can bring those “winter” smells into your home. If you buy a real tree, you get the wonderful smell of pine. If you don’t buy a real tree, you can buy a garland or a wreath and get that same smell. And if you live in L.A. and want a real tree, but want to be more eco-friendly , you can rent a tree from Living Christmas and they will replant it when you are done!

You can also visit Yankee Candle and choose from some AMAZING candles that smell like pine or cinnamon or baking cookies.

It creates great warmth in a home to not only have it look beautiful, but to smell beautiful too.

When you bring all of your senses into an experience, it allows the experience to create even deeper memories.
