Monday Muse: If Your Essential Oil Were a Dinner Guest 🍽️

Random Monday thought experiment ...

Pick one essential oil from your collection (or one you're drawn to right now). If that oil showed up at your dinner party as an actual person, what would they be like? 🍃

Rock Rose (Cistus ladanifer) is the kind of guest who knows when someone needs them the most.

They'd arrive quietly, maybe bringing homemade soup or the perfect bottle of wine, and within minutes they'd be sitting with whoever's having the hardest time.

Their warm and grounding energy, combined with a complex sweetness, makes people feel safe enough to share what’s really going on.

They're the friend who wraps you in the coziest blanket when life gets overwhelming, and somehow always knows just what to say (or when to say nothing at all). By the end of the evening, old hurts feel a little lighter, and everyone leaves feeling more whole. 🌹

Peppermint (Mentha x piperita)? Oh, they'd burst through the door with way too much energy, immediately reorganize your spice rack "to be more efficient," tell the best stories, and leave everyone feeling weirdly motivated to clean their entire house at midnight. 🌿

Your turn! Pick an oil and tell me:

How do they show up to the party?

What do they bring?

What's their dinner table personality?

How do people feel after hanging out with them?

The most unexpected angles may help us understand why we're drawn to certain scents ... 🕯️
