Triggering positive emotions

The scent of any citrus fruit makes me feel good and positive so I like to put a few drops of essential lemon oil in my body cream.

@amiablePeace77 writes down secret recipie😁 sells it for millions 🤑
Would calm and relaxed be considered positive emotions? Probably not....they really aren't emotions so to speak, but the scent of fresh mint as well as the taste of it brings me to a calm and relaxed place...
@CyclingThroughLife mint is good, on lamb chops 😂😂 but mint is nice as long as it's not too strong ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Hi.
I think you're from England - just over the North Sea. I'm from Norway. When I was a teenager I went with my protestant church to England. We had lamb with mint-sauce there - all new for me. I like chocolate with mint-filling.
@Helgafy yep! I'm from Britain😁 hiii neighbour
@CyclingThroughLife
Hi.
Would calm and relaxed be considered positive emotions? I would absolutely say yes!
@amiablePeace77 lavender 😁 and xmas smell, gingerbread and turkey. Also my sons willow tree after the rain😁 oh and me 😋 I smell awsome. I have a trick, if you put deodorant on one arm, then you don't smell half bad😂😂
@Tinywhisper11
Awesome, I love the smell of baked gingerbread! 😊
@amiablePeace77 last year was my first xmas. And I got to make a gingerbread house😁 and decorate with sweeties. It was so much fun. And so sticky
@Tinywhisper11 I always thought you were Half Baked .😉🍯Honey isn’t as sweet as you .😍
@OnlyDarkness I know right 😁 I'm soooo sweet 😋
@Tinywhisper11. You’re as Sweet as Any Lemon I know.😜😎
@OnlyDarkness 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@amiablePeace77
For me it is Lavender
@WorkingitThrough2
Yay, we're both Lavender people! 😀 Do you also put dried lavender in your bedroom? I used to do it but now I used the essential oil.
@amiablePeace77
I use the oils to. I even put the lavender Epsom salt in my bathwater. and in my scent burning lamps.
We have something in common😂❤️
@amiablePeace77 Seawater on a hot day at the beach!
@RogueOne1983 seawater is refreshing on a hot day. But one thing I do not like is when I get it in my mouth.
@soulsings lol hear that seawater also has stuff in it do not want to swallow!
@RogueOne1983 well we used to go to a beach where they disposed of waste through a pipe that went out in the ocean but that has to go somewhere.
@soulsings yeah it is fish food!
Not the toilet sewage ewww
I worked on a ship I said where is the garbage disposal? They said the fish are! We put food down the pipes it comes out the fish are following the boat waiting to eat it!
It was pretty cool!
@amiablePeace77. I love squeezing the Orange and other citrus fruit Peel and seeing the little sprays of essence shoot out . Your fingers smell like the fruit for hours .
🤗
@amiablePeace77
The smell of cut grass = the freedom of long summer days.
The yeasty smell of baking bread = comforting safety.
@whimsicalAlli
Oh yes, those are amazing scents! Some people say that the scent of cut grass increases feel good hormones!
@whimsicalAlli Baking Bread from scratch , Yummy 😋
@OnlyDarkness I used to do that but it is too delicious - I kept eating it!
