The 5th Season
So I've been discussing lately with friends and family the concept of the "Winter Blues". I, myself, and feeling them and it's driving me a little stir crazy. I feel as though winter is dragging on, and the -40 weather we've been dealing with, along with those 10ft high snow banks are not helping.
I am longing for those long summer nights, swimming, hanging out by the campfire roasting DELSIH s'mores, banana boats, and of course spider dogs.... Reality is, we have a LONG way to go before the snow disappears. Especially where I live in Southern Ontario, Canada.

This is when I started to think of how I describe this time of the year. We have just gotten over the holidays with friends and family, the trees are down, and the sweets are eaten up. So, its time for us to look ahead and think about what's in store for 2014. This is the perfect time of the year for renewal... a time to just refresh. The 5th Season...
Scentsy Fragrance plays a huge role in my life around this time of the year. The power of scent is truly amazing. I thought to myself... The fact that I am "stuck" inside, so to say, shouldn't turn my smile upside-down. I am putting my hand up to the winter blues and saying BYE BYE! So I say it's time to put those cinnamon and heavy winter smells away that keep reminding me that winter isn't even HALF way over, and bring on something that is clean and refreshing (Although I'm not quite ready to bust out my spring and summer scents yet).
I am going to suggest to all of those around me to choose scents that encourage environments to become calming, relaxing, and also fresh. Something that boosts the mood and gets you feeling energized even though outside isn't looking so bright....
My personal suggestions would be something along the lines of the following Scents:
Mellow Moment
Enjoy a soothing sip: delicate chamomile tea leaves sweetened
with a touch of apple and orange blossom.

I can say that these are my top picks for the "5th Season" and have all, in their own ways, helped me overcome some of those days when you really feel the "winter blues". Although there are many other calming and relaxing scents available, because I could list a ton of them, these are my personal top 5. If you have any questions, or would like to get my personal recommendations on other seasonal scents, please don't hesitate to ask!
