With scrumptious scents like warm vanilla sugar, winter candy apple, mint chocolate, homemade cookies and vanilla shortbread-it's hard to resist the urge to load up on your faves during Bath and Body Works' 75% off sales. However, for those of you who are trying to stay trim and slim for the New Year, you might want to think twice. Filling your home with the scent of homemade cookies doesn't exactly give you the motivation to put on your sneakers and head to the gym. We associate cookies, vanilla and chocolate with comfort foods and cozy surroundings. These scents can actually trick our brains into thinking that we are hungry and we are even more likely to give into our cravings for sweets. Just because you swoon over that scent in the store, doesn't mean that you should succumb to the naughty temptations and bring them home! Try to forgo the food-flavored scents and replace them with alternatives such as cool citrus basil, cotton blossom, black amethyst and orange sapphire. Aroma therapy scents such as eucalyptus and orange ginger are ideal for your pre-workout routine since they actually have invigorating qualities, while lavender will calm the nerves just before bed.
Can't resist that 75% off sale? Buy a couple of your favorite sweet scents and store them in a cool, dry place for when next year's holiday festivities are in full swing. You'll save a bundle buying now, and you can simply tuck them away till you're good and ready.
