Lavender has always been a scent I was drawn to, maybe because it is centered around the idea of being calm and I am always chasing that feeling. I feel as if I surround myself with calming entities then I in turn will be calm as well.

The scent of lavender is very calming to me, though. It centers and grounds me, even when I'm not feeling particularly nervy. I always have a vial of lavender oil stashed on me, whether I'm traveling or just laying in bed... it might be a placebo effect but it truly does so much for calming me down when I'm having a bad moment.

Lavender does more than just calm you down; when used in skincare and other beauty products it helps reduce inflammation, soothe irritated skin and prevent and treat acne. It makes sense, doesn't it? That lavender would calm your skin down the way it calms your nerves.
