Essential Oils for everyday use

Have you ever walked into a room, took a deep breath, and the frown painted on your face in the morning turned into a smile?  Throughout the day this scent is engraved in your mind and the feeling returns time after time.  From the moment the scent touched the tip of your nose and entered your mind, a new day began.  Almost like getting out of bed again.
Here are a few scents that can help with your mood.  Whatever mood you need to be in, there is an essential oil for you.  From the beginning of time, people have been using essential oils for many purposes.  Frankincense, Myrrh, Sandalwood, and Neroli are among the most popular.
You could add a drop or two to a room diffuser, massage oil, or some are safe enough to place right on the skin.  Be sure to check that it is safe for the skin.  If not, place a few drops in massage oil and then massage it onto your skin.  Here are a few suggestions but don't stay limited to these few.
