- You are known to mutter “what’s that smell?” at least three times a day, as your nose has become a super scent detective!
- You refer to the “community” meaning aromatherapists in general. This is my favorite one! It has been truly amazing the connections and new friendships I have made from them (insert various “find your tribe” memes here).
- You spend less time on social media playing games or scrolling memes and more time googling random flower and/or herb facts and seeing who’s diffusing what tonight.
- AT LEAST one part of your house has become completely overrun by small amber bottles and oodles of other aromatherapy supplies, diffusers, etc.
- Every time you empty a glass jar you ponder for a moment what you could reuse it for, then you clean it out and put it in the corner with all the others you have collected “just in case”.
- You don’t necessarily fall for the “there’s an oil for that” gimmick but you do consider whether essential oils would be a beneficial remedy before turning to other means, and more importantly you know when they are not (i.e. when medical attention is necessary).
- You may have weirded out a few neighbors by picking all of the dandelions or other various “weeds” in their yard. I doubt they really minded by the way, but you should probably ask first.
- Your cooking becomes even better, and NO not because you use your oils in it (which I don’t recommend), but because you have a deeper understanding of herbs & spices and their aromas hence flavor profiles.
- You plan your family’s vacation around what botanical gardens are nearby or (ahem…) lavender festivals that may be occurring then! J
- You suddenly become a pro at converting milliliters, grams, ounces, etc. in your head. Not to mention dilution rates. Hmmm….so maybe learning percentages in high school did come in handy after all.
- You forget a million things throughout the day but you NEVER forget to give your herbal infused oils a shake every couple days.
- You have practically a whole entire second kitchen set (possibly nicer than your actual cookware) reserved just for your oily creations.
- Anytime you see abbreviations such as EO, CO, etc. you immediately think they are referring to essential oils and carrier oils, when often times…they are not. Oops!
