#considering how many scents there are. with the plug ins it's usually the opposite like 80% send me to migraine town

[imwritesometimes]

not to be dramatic but getting myself a wax warmer was one of the best things I've done for myself in terms of 'little things to make myself happy' I am terrified of open flame in the house due to past life events but really love scent as something that can soothe and calm and idk I just love that I can fill my house with scents I like and that are soothing but there's no fire and I am focusing on more like this for 2024. Welcoming little simple things into my life that I may have said 'no, that's frivolous' to before.

#plug in air fresheners often caused migraines like. a lot. A LOT. and just. weren't good. scents very limited. #spray air fresheners same thing but with the added worry of the shit landing in the cats' water & food dishes #I got a wax warmer for my room and loved it. got a christmas one for the living room. my mom got me one for the living room year round #hell my brother even got himself one for his room #they are so soothing and not overpowering and there's such a range of scents #I smelled like. all the ones at the store and I was surprised by how few were like oh god no migraine town (for me anyway) #considering how many scents there are. with the plug ins it's usually the opposite like 80% send me to migraine town #idk I am just. so happy rn. chilling out in my living room. that smells. just pleasant! not overbearing. no flame! no weird shit in the air #just pleasant. and soooo much cheaper than candles too omg #fully leaning into coloring again #idc how ridiculous it is everyone made fun of me in high school for still coloring now there's 11 billion ~adult~ coloring books out there #fuck yeah little things! #erin explains it all
