THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
It’s our first holiday giveaway day! Let’s pick something light and fun to debate — favorite scents. A welcoming fragrance can instantly make a home feel festive, so to celebrate the season we have a fragrant giveaway to share.
One evening I walked into the house and was hit by a terrible smell. We had cooked fish the night before and a forgotten wrapping in the trash made the whole entry reek. Thankfully, Urban Botanic had just sent a selection of fragrance oils and a scent warmer. I turned it on and within minutes the house smelled like the holidays again. There’s nothing like a pleasant scent to lift your spirits.
Scent is a powerful trigger for memory. A single whiff can transport you to another moment or place, bringing back feelings and memories in an instant.
I’m pleased to introduce McKenna Gordon, a reader of The Inspired Room who started Urban Botanic, a home and personal fragrance business. Her products are designed without flames, wicks, wax, or harmful chemicals, and many fragrances can be customized to your preference. She even offers the option to design your own fragrance. McKenna is new to the blogging community — please give her a warm welcome and thank her for sponsoring this giveaway.
