I currently am addicted to lighting essential oils at home! I use different ones according to my moods. I am no expert but I do like the scents of lemongrass, grapefruit and cleopatra. What about you? Do you think it makes you feel better?

YES! YES! YES! Of course! I prefer essential oils more, and sandalwood is definitely my favorite! Besides, I also like essential oils from all kinds of roses, like Bulgarian rose and tube rose (they are somewhat expensive, though!).
I use the most traditional essential oil pot, which you place a tea light candle at the bottom and add water and essential oils on the top, cause I like inhaling the scent while watching the trembling flame of the candle, so I can't just leave it and let it burn when I go to bed, but surely I feel more peaceful and calm when every corner of my room is filled with the scent of the sandalwood.

Sandalwood is nice too! Oh I use the same pot you are using. I don't know I feel a little romantic when I am watching the flame everytime!
Rose essential oils are definitely pricey! But I do want to own one when I have more surplus in cash! They smell so wonderful and classy!

That's very true. Rose essential oils are probably the most expensive oils among all, but they really smell so nice! and they are said to have great results in healing function in aromatherapies.
I do think lighting candles up in a room is very romantic, but weird enough, I don't prefer scented candle, other than plain tea light candles I use for essential oils, I love those thick white tube candles, which could last for around twenty-something hours.

Oh yes Lavender used to be my favourite scent, especially when I am about to sleep, I will light the lavender essential oil, it helps to sleep better. I do think candles looks very nice when lit and it's very romantic hahaha.

I love the smell, but the only things I use are from partylite. They have the best smelling oils, candles, and the like with a lot of different fragrances. I have specific smells that make me feel better...I think anything with almond is relaxing as well as lemongrass...for some reason after lighting them I feel a whole lot better. I also have a blueberry candle in my bathroom and it relaxes me after a long day along with a hot bath :)
