Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt more relaxed, more energized, or even nostalgic? That’s the power of scent at work. Fragrances do more than make a space smell nice—they trigger memories, influence emotions, and even impact productivity.
After a busy week, your space—and your mind—can start to feel a little chaotic. The good news? You don’t need to do a deep clean or overhaul everything to feel refreshed. A weekend reset can help bring calm, clarity, and order to your home in just a few intentional steps.
We all know that feeling: your home starts to feel a little stale, a little tired—like it’s begging for a refresh. But when your wallet says "nope," creativity has to step in. The good news? You don’t need to spend a single riyal or dollar to breathe new life into your home. Sometimes, a little rearranging and reimagining go a long way.
