October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and as someone who has lost a loved one to breast cancer, and has watched a few freidns fight the war against breast cancer and win, this is a cause near and dear to my heart.

There are so many things we can do to help fight breast cancer.

1) We can help by donating to breast cancer charity organizations such as the American Cancer Society, The National Breast Cancer Coalition, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Unite for Her.

2) We can wear pink during the month of October in order to help raise awareness about breast cancer.

3) We can help raise money for the fight against breast cancer is by purchasing products, we may already need in our life, which give a portion, or all, of their proceeds to a breast cancer charity. 

4) We can volunteer our time with organizations such as the American Cancer Society and help those who are battling, or recovering from the disease.

5) We can take charge of our own personal health and remind those around us who staying fit, eating healthy and eliminating or limiting alcohol intake can drastically reduce our chances of ending up with breast cancer; or any type of cancer. Side benefit, this type of lifestyle helps you heart and entire body too! Love that!

One of my favorite home fragrance companies, Agraria Home, is helping fight breast cancer this October. Agraria Home is donating 35% of proceeds from their Cedar Rose collection to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Love that! To shop the collection, please visit AgrariaHome.com.

So how do you plan to help in the fight against breast cancer this October?

Agraria AirEssence Diffuser home fragrance in Mediterranean Jasmine review

Agraria AirEssence Diffuser is a beautiful way to integrate home fragrance into ones’ home. I am a huge fan of home fragrance. I love candles, Scentsy burners; anything which will make my home smell fabulous. The biggest challenge I find with many home fragrances on the market is that they do not look pretty and sometimes smell artificial. 

I was so excited when I received my Agraria Mediterranean Jasmine AirEssence Diffuser in the mail. Not only was the packaging beautiful, the diffuser itself was sophisticated, pretty and in my favorite color; blue! Love it! 

I decided to place my Agraria Mediterranean Jasmine AirEssence Diffuser in my living room by the fireplace. Our fireplace is large and our furniture is set around the fireplace; so it is definitely the centerpiece of the room. I love the vivid blue hue of the Mediterranean Jasmine oil and it looks pretty against the black and white of my fireplace. The white flowers are also gorgeous and their white hue help tie the diffuser into the color scheme of the fireplace mantel.

The Agraria Mediterranean Jasmine AirEssence Diffuser, once assembled, takes twenty-four hours to fully diffuse. The flowers actually soak in the oil from the vase and turn a very pale blue. From the flowers, the scent diffuses throughout the room, The jasmine scent is not too strong and leaves a beautiful, light fragrant scent throughout the room. My living room smells fresh and floral; exactly the way I love it!

Agraria has a beautiful selection of AirEssence Diffusers which include Balsam and Bitter Orange; two fragrances I would like to try out for my home. Agraria also has a collection of petite diffusers, soaps, potpourri and candles. I am looking forward to trying out these others products by Agraria; especially the candles!

Laura Mercier Verbena Infusion Dry Oil Body Mist review

Pictured: “Verbena Infusion Dry Oil Mist” c/o Laura Mercier.

Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist is a light, fragrant way to moisturize skin. Instead of slathering on thick body cream or lotion, Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist moisturizes dry skin without leaving a thick film or gooey slick. I have also found that Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist works well on a sunburn; calming angry skin and helping aid the healing process. Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist combines fragrant floral and wood notes of green citrus, spearmint, fresh blossoms, white amber and cedarwood. This makes for a warm floral fragrance experience ideal for moderate to warm weather found in the spring, summer and fall months. 

The formula is lightweight and fast-absorbing. It rejuvenates dry skin and mildly sunburned skin while comforting and soothing. I found it has left my skin with a natural-looking healthy glow. Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist can be found online here and here.
