I quite like the smell of lavender but I have to admit that I very often find it very overpowering. It is well known for its calming properties. Anyway, all that said, today I bought another Christmas present. I managed to find some lavender hand wash. I already have lavender talc. They are for my Moms neighbour, who, as you can tell likes lavender. What do think of lavender and it’s calming properties ?

Vince puts lavender oil on a hankie and puts it under his pillow at night. He swears that it helps him sleep.

I have this great magnesium lavender lotion that works so well. It relaxes you, and calms you down. Lavender candles are some of my favorite too unless it’s a really cheap lavender candle and the smell is abrasive.

I am not crazy about any floral scents really..but I think lavender does have calming properties.

I love the smell of lavender. I used to make little bags if them to place in the bed.

I know it can be overpowering, but when used in the right way, it's perfect. I have a lotion with lavander in it. When I use it, it does kind of have a calming affect.
