Lovely Lavender All Night Long


Lavender is known for its aromatic fragrance. But did you know that it has relaxation benefits too? Recently, research has confirmed that lavender produces calming, soothing, and sedative effects. Specifically, it is said that aromatherapy with lavender may slow the activity of the nervous system, improve sleep quality, promote relaxation, and lift the mood in people suffering from sleep disorders.

Knowing this, I wanted to try a lavender scent in my bedroom to help me relax before bedtime and get a good night's sleep. I purchased the Votivo Aromatic Reed Diffuser in the Lavender Chamomile Pear scent. What a lovely surprise this turned out to be. The lavender, pear scent is wonderful. It fills my bedroom with a lingering, gentle fragrance. The scent lasts all day and will lasts for months. I have been pleasantly surprised by how soothing I have found the lingering lavender scent to be. I really feel an inner clam come over me as I settle in for the night.

I think I will try a Votivo Reed Diffuser in my kitchen. I just need to find the right scent. And since the Votivo Aromatic Reed Diffuser comes in its own beautiful gift box, I think it makes a great hostess gift.
