Tips From The Team | Three things to embrace as we close in to Autumn
Even though we’re technically still in the swing of Summer, we know what’s on your mind… The looming start of shorter days, gloomy weather and a general sense of hibernation. But we’re here to set the end of Summer off in the right direction and embrace the change of season! In the midst of it all, it’s easy to forget everything that autumn has to offer, so here’s your reminder.
For good measure, we’ve also included some of the essential oil blends we look forward to busting out to beat those summer blues.
1 | Sunsets are only going to get better
If you appreciate a good sunset, remember to stay mindful as the end of the day looms. The air is typically clearer and less humid than in summer, leading to sharper, more vibrant colours. The lower angle of the sun also creates longer-lasting and more dramatic sunsets. Keep your eyes particularly peeled on cloudy days, when you can get sunsets like these… (shot just down the road from our HQ)
2 | Get outside and embrace the autumnal aromas
There’s a lot to be said about layering up and getting fully involved in the change of season. Come September you will notice all sorts of funghi returning from the underworld and leaves turning orange - all of which brings that distinct musky scent which attunes your senses to the Winter months. The combination of crisp air and deep aromas helps to keep you stress-free and feeling comforted.
3 | Bath season starts
Some of the best things in life come from contrast. As the crisp autumn air brings cooler days, there’s nothing quite like sinking into a warm, relaxing bath. The chill outside makes it even more soothing, wrapping you in a cosy escape that melts away the day's cold.
Autumn blends to embrace the season with
Everyone has different memories and emotions attached to specific scents, but deeper, comforting scents always go hand-in-hand with Autumn months. Here are a few WiDEYE blends we find ourselves recommending as the season changes.
Ommm
It has a warm, rich, and deeply aromatic scent. Sandalwood brings a creamy, smooth, and slightly sweet woodiness, evoking a sense of grounding and tranquillity. Frankincense adds a layer of mystique and depth to the fragrance, contributing a resinous, slightly citrusy note with a touch of smokiness.
System Restore
A refreshing and invigorating blend that balances zesty brightness with grounding earthiness. Lime introduces a sharp, vibrant burst of citrus, instantly uplifting the senses with its tangy aroma. Cedarwood then provides a solid, warm foundation with its rich, woody, and slightly smoky fragrance.
Sundown
This scent represents the change from the fresh scent notes of the day to the comforting warming notes of an evening spent by a fire. Sweet Vanilla brings a creamy, rich, and indulgent sweetness. Wrapping you in a sense of warmth and comfort. Whilst Lemon essential oil adds a bright, zesty twist to the blend.
