Did you know that there are over 700 varieties of geranium? You’ve likely encountered the vibrant, delicate flowers of the geranium plant at your local garden center, or even in your backyard. Geranium has been used for purely ornamental purposes for centuries. The earliest Geranium Essential Oil usage dates back to Ancient Egypt when it was used for its skin beautifying and wellness benefits.

When it comes to distillation, Pelagonium graveolens is the main Geranium commercially cultivated for essential oil, and what you’ll find bottled today. Geranium Essential Oil has an aroma that is described as strong, sweet, fresh, green, slightly citrus-minty, and spicy. When diluted, this oil is floral and rose-like in scent, which makes sense, considering rose and geranium share many similar attributes.

Aries is one of the cardinal signs of the zodiac, initiating not only the start of the zodiac calendar, but also the beginning of the spring season. This makes perfect sense, as Aries are naturally born leaders, fiercely independent, and highly competitive. Read on to find out our favorite gifts for Aries babies.

You may be thinking, “wait, aren’t those terms- dry and dehydrated- basically the same thing?” Although we use the words dry and dehydrated interchangeably, and heck, they may even feel similar, they are not the same thing. 

Let’s explore the difference between dry and dehydrated skin, characteristics of each, and how to effectively treat and manage both. 

In the simplest terms- Dry is a skin type, Dehydration is a skin condition. Skin type is what you’re born with (dry, oily, combination) and is classified as more permanent. Skin conditions can happen to anyone, can range from sticking around temporarily to more long-term, and can be caused by things such as environmental factors.

Pisces, the last constellation of the zodiac, is a true water sign. It is depicted as two fish, swimming in opposite directions, and represents the duality and sometimes inner struggle between fantasy and reality. 

These water babies are intuitive, spiritual, and are driven by making a positive difference in the lives of others. They also tend to be the most psychic of all the signs, are incredibly gentle, very affectionate, and die-hard romantics. 

One of the easiest ways to transform the air in your space is with aromatherapy. Essential oils can improve your mindset, are fun to blend and experiment with, and are a natural and effective way to improve your environment.
