There’s a clever little saying that goes: “Love yourself first, because that’s who you’ll be spending the rest of your life with.” In theory, that makes perfect sense. In practice? Things often look a little different. Think about it: when did you last do something for yourself? Put yourself ahead of everyone else? It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Well, that ends now! And no worries - it isn’t selfish either. Sometimes we simply have to look out for ourselves. Love yourself! Because that’s the only way we can handle all the stress of everyday life. Otherwise we go under pretty quickly. And your own health should always come first! The upshot: if we take care of ourselves, we feel better. Easy as that.
But since we all know this kind of thing is easier said than done, here’s a little guideline. And one thing up front - who would have guessed - scent plays a pretty big part. Because our sense of smell is the most versatile sense we have. That gives it the power to influence our mood, to act on the subconscious and to relax us. Rather fitting for self-love, don’t you think? And we have just the Cupid for you: the AROMEA Aera. Slim and small. Almost sensual. Understated yet a visual highlight - the greatest diffuser on the market. Hypoallergenic, of course, with top-quality ingredients and patented AirQ technology. Smells good? Then read on… 5 tips for becoming your own Valentine.
1. Buy yourself flowers!
Flowers - a tricky subject. As a woman you generally never get enough of them, and as a man you simply can’t really see the point. They’re often rather expensive and end up in the bin after a few days at the latest. So just buy some yourself rather than waiting for your partner to read your mind! Because flowers work real wonders: they relax you and help to reduce nervous tension, stress and anxiety. If you’re more on the men’s side of the argument: AERA room fragrance “Curiosity”. The scent of carefree summer days and lush blooms.
2. Get yourself out into the fresh air!
It’s more or less written into our DNA: we have a biological need to connect with nature. Breathing in natural scents works real wonders. Proper aromatherapy. But as we know, in February the fresh air really is fresh. Literally. So naturally it makes sense to bring nature into your own four walls. Room fragrance “Indigo” with citrus, cedarwood and sandalwood. It smells of wooded shores and pure nature. And you stay warm all the same.
3. Treat yourself to a long bubble bath!
After all, bathing is well known for its relaxing effect. And it’s true: sitting quietly in hot water can even have a therapeutic effect! At the same time it’s invigorating, because the water stimulates circulation in the skin. A great side effect: the steam finally sees off that last lingering cold. And because sometimes more simply is more: scent marketing on top. Room fragrance “Zephyr” smells of lilies and lotus blossom. That’s how your bathroom becomes a wellness oasis. Enjoy and relax.
4. Just do nothing for once!
Experts estimate that the mind thinks between 60,000 and 80,000 thoughts a day. That’s a lot of mental noise. Try thinking of nothing for a change. Not so easy! A little trick: sit down with your eyes closed and fill the room with a fantastic scent. Now try to concentrate only on that scent. As soon as your brain is told to concentrate, things go very quiet upstairs. The chaos and the thoughts fall silent. That’s how you instantly become calmer - physically and mentally. Room fragrance “White Tea” is ideal for this: complex yet simple. White tea with jasmine, wild rose and a hint of thyme. Concentrate.
5. Who needs a restaurant anyway?
… cook yourself something! That may not sound all that relaxing at first, but believe me: it’s worth a try! Fun fact: taste comes only from smell. You may know the feeling: when you have a blocked nose, everything somehow tastes the same. And when something smells good, it tastes twice as good! If your kitchen talents are limited, you can always outwit your nose! Conjure up a delicious meal with room fragrance “Moondance”. It smells wonderfully of bergamot, iris and vanilla. Bon appétit!
A little side note: if you’re not your only Valentine and have a sweetheart at your side as well, how about an AERA as a gift? Simply love yourselves together. And each other too, of course. Love is in the air. A clever saying that we make come true with our AERA diffuser.
