Mother’s Day is coming up soon on May 12. Do you know how you’re going to honor everything the special women in your life have done for you? Your mom might be the most important person in your life and she’s certainly invested so much of her time and energy into your developing needs!

According to Pew Research Center, in 2018 mother’s bear even more responsibility (read: stress) than decades before. Consider that one-in-four mothers are raising children on their own. And 82% of new mothers are between the ages of 23 and 38—the age when many young women are finishing degrees, establishing a career, or still establishing their own goals.

It’s time to help Mom relax and rejuvenate with the help of a soap store in El Cajon, CA. Soaps and Scents has a wide array of luxurious scents and home-spa favorites that can show how much you appreciate her investment in you! Here are some scents designed to enhance relaxation.

  • Lavender: This is an essential oil
    containing a multitude of calming qualities specifically targeted to eliminate stress. Give your mom the gift of lavender and witness its soothing effect, relieving nervous tension along with treating stress-related headaches.
  • Jasmine: This is a commonly used scent for relieving the effects of depression. That’s because of properties associated with feelings of positivity, confidence, and restorative energy.
  • Tangerine: Citrus scents are perfect
    for enhancing concentration and contains qualities that will put Mom in a
    restful state of mind. It also contains properties ideal for fighting viruses and bacteria, so if the kids have brought home a cold, this might be the best choice for the immune system.
  • Peppermint: If you want to spark your brain’s creative energy, then try peppermint. This scent supports mental activity and is a great energy booster.
  • Rosemary: Here’s one to help Mom improve memory retention as rosemary is perfect for fighting against exhaustion. It provides a pick-me-up without the nervous jitters associated with caffeine.
