Ahhh…..Lavender
Lavender is one of my favorite scents. It is a common ingredient in products that claim relaxation and stress reduction benefits. My lavender bushes are in full bloom right now. I have been cutting fresh blooms to make little bouquets to bring inside and enjoy, as well as drying some to enjoy their scent this winter.
