This makes me think about how strong our sense memory of smell is and how to use that to create little rituals. I think Gretchen Rubin talked about using different scents as a treat (and of course adding in the taste of tea adds even more to that!). I love the idea of creating weekly rituals around particular scents and tastes - this makes me want to be more mindful of it :)

Love the idea of using scents as a treat! I think I sometimes do that without realizing it by lighting a particular candle at a given time.

Kelly! I love the way you write about tea - there's something so comforting about it. And I love the idea of pairing moments with a special beverage to mark it and savor it. ❤️

I went to a perfume workshop where the woman encouraged us to use different scents for different types of rituals or occasions. I love this idea with pairings of tea!!! For me, I put frothed coconut cream in my coffee on the weekends. My “play mode” coffee instead of the black coffee daily driver
