The Uplifting Self-Care Scents For Twixmas

“What day is it again?” is most definitely going to be asked on Dec 27th. As will “it’s OK to have camembert and Ferrero Rochers for breakfast, right?” I personally cannot wait for the discombobulating Twixmas lull: those slow, smudgy days after Christmas when it’s still acceptable to have the tree lit up all evening, Bublé warbling in the background and the warm fuzzy glow of not having to eat dry turkey for a whole year. But I’ve done enough of these Twixmasses in my adult years to also know how shattered and overwhelmed I feel, both emotionally and digestively (which reminds me: *adds Gaviscon to the Ocado order). The seismic mind-melt from December’s craziness and the physical saturation from boozing and eating combine to make you feel utterly yuck. My body craves freshness, my eyes clarity and my ears quiet, and I know my nose will yearn for a bit of all of that too. Here are some smells, scents and spritzes for that decompressive self-care, but which still have the magical wintry feels I want to hang onto for just a little while longer before kill-joy January kicks in.
