You might remember that last fall we did a survey of 1,000 men and women to determine how scents play a role in our daily lives. 

According to the survey, men and women expect citrus scent to convey them as active and cheerful when worn, and when used in the home, men and women view citrus scents as energizing. 

We also teamed up with Mindy Green, expert aromatherapist and co-author of Aromatherapy: A Complete Guide to the Healing Art. She informed us that, “when scent is pleasant, you naturally breathe deeper. This can lower your blood pressure and slow down your heart rate, which triggers full body relaxation and reduces stress, a key component in maintaining optimal health.”

Now that we are one month into our New Year’s resolutions, this is the perfect time to reward yourself for sticking to your commitments for the first month and motivate yourself to continue to do so for the next 11. Why not treat yourself to an energizing scent like grapefruit to motivate yourself to maintain your goals? 

Whether you clean your home with the scent or apply it daily to keep skin moisturized, the grapefruit scent can do wonders for releasing stress and energizing your life.

Look for J.R. Watkins Grapefruit personal care and home care items and treat yourself to a small indulgence next time you’re shopping at Target!
