Six months ago, if someone were to ask me to pick one of the five senses that I could not live without, I would have said, “my eyesight”. However, after starting my journey with essential oils, my answer would be, “I can’t pick just one”. You see, I never realized how powerful our sense of smell really is. Travel memories are the same way.
One of my Memories
A few months ago, I met a few friends in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. We decided to have dinner at a super cute restaurant where the tables and chairs were porch swings. It was awesome! We sat outside with a beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. Within 2 minutes of being there, I was instantly flooded with one of my first memories of being in Florida. You see, when I was in elementary school, my family and I went to Daytona Beach. I specifically remember smelling the salty air and walking on the beach when the tide had gone out and we were essentially walking out in the ocean. I haven’t ever done that since then, but any time I smell an ocean scented candle or the actual ocean, I instantly think of that vacation.

Arm & Hammer knows just how powerful a scent can be and that’s why they have partnered with the National Park Foundation to create a collection of scents that are inspired by nature. This new line is called Clean Sensations and it gives your the beautiful scents of the outdoors, all while fighting stains with Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. The new scents include:
- Sun-Kissed Flowers, inspired by Yosemite, California
- Twilight Sky, inspired by Acadia, Maine
- Purifying Waters, inspired by Glacier Bay, Alaska
I personally want to try the Twilight Sky!
