There’s something comforting about the small things we do every day, don’t you think? Those little routines, a few quiet stolen moments to ourselves mixed in with the mundane.
The smell of something familiar. The soft glow of candlelight. They don’t seem like much, but over time these little rituals can completely change how we feel.
At Soul, we’re big believers in the power of scent to shape your mood and your day. It’s not about long, complicated routines. It’s about simple habits that help you slow down, breathe, and feel more like yourself (or the self you want to be).
We often underestimate just how much scent can shift our mood. It’s actually one of the fastest ways to impact the brain - around 75% of our emotions are influenced by smell! That’s why something as simple as walking into a room with a familiar fragrance can instantly make you feel more at ease.
Our reed diffusers are made with natural aromatherapy oils like lavender, citrus, and cedarwood, chosen not just for how they smell, but for how they make you feel. Whether you need calm, clarity or comfort, scent can gently support your wellbeing - without you even having to think about it.
How about placing a diffuser by the sofa, where you enjoy your morning coffee or where you sit and work? It’s all a matter of preference, of course but Nero is ideal if you need a bit of clarity and focus…Aurum is a softer start to the day, warm and comforting like sunshine through the window!
Even your morning shower can feel more like a reset when you bring scent into it! Yes you’re probably on a time limit so it’s not exactly a spa-da, but our Relax hand and body wash is gentle and grounding, even when you're half-awake and rushing. Follow it up with the matching lotion and you’ve already ticked off a moment of self-care - before you’ve even left the house!
Then there’s the other end of the day. Once the kids are in bed, your laptop is closed for the day and you’ve shut up shop in the kitchen. This is where rituals really come into their own! Lighting a candle in the evening is one of the easiest ways to shift the mood.
Maybe you’re running a bath, or you’re curled up with a book. Maybe you’re just lying on the sofa doing absolutely nothing. However you spend your evenings, adding a candle or a familiar scent makes it feel more intentional - like you’re looking after yourself on purpose, not just collapsing at the end of the day! A little spritz of bedtime mist on your pillow, a specific candle you only light when you've finished work for the day or a reed diffuser you place in high traffic areas of your house to bring a sense of calm to those busy moments. They’re all important!
These small moments don’t need to be perfect. They just need to be yours. A five-minute pause in the morning. A flicker of light in the evening. Little by little, they add up to something much bigger…a sense of calm, comfort, and home.
