Today's mothers are expected to do it all with patience, serenity, and good humor. But what actually goes on in a typical Mother’s day is far from serene. Screaming children, ringing phones, overflowing laundry and naptime cajoling are just a few of the tasks mothers must handle. So it’s no wonder that moms often think about ways to ‘get away’ and grab a little peace of mind. The hard part is getting there.

Enter the reed diffuser…the candle making industry’s answer to mom-style luxury. Moms will agree that, by time they get the kids to bed at night, they’re too exhausted to even consider the mind and body luxuries that seemed like such a great idea earlier in the day. The reed diffuser, however, is a wonderful way to infuse the home with pleasing scents that create an atmosphere of luxury and serenity 24/7. And, as we all know, scent is highly important as a mood enhancer. Walk into a home that smells like apple pie, and your salivary glands start working. Smell a favorite perfume on a stranger, and an instant attraction is created. So imagine how important scent is in your own home, where the stresses of the day can wear you down and affect your normally cheery outlook. The reed diffuser makes it possible to create a different scent atmosphere for every room in your home, all day and all night long, for an aromatherapy boost that can completely change your outlook, calming or energizing your mood depending on the scent you have chosen.

How does the reed diffuser work? Basically, a reed diffuser is a ‘no flame’ candle that relies on the principles of aromatherapy to deliver your favorite fragrance via aromatic oils and diffuser reeds. Reeds, made from bamboo sticks, rattan or willow, are available in a variety of lengths. (Tip: The longer the reeds, the more the scent is infused throughout your room). The aromatic oil is in the bottom of a glass container, and the reeds stand upright in the container, their ends soaking up the aromatic oils. The scent slowly ‘climbs’ up the reeds, infusing the fragrance into your home environment in a subtle, yet noticeable way that lasts a long time.

Even if you’re a fan of heavily scented candles, you’ll enjoy the unique decorating possibilities with reed diffusers, great for many areas of your home where lighted candles simply won’t do. Additionally, Moms with little ones running around the house will appreciate the safety of no-flame reed diffusers, and will enjoy not having to constantly remember to extinguish candle flames throughout the home.

And when you run out of aromatic oil, simply reorder your favorite reed diffuser supplies online and have them delivered right to your door! No frustrating shopping trips to your local candle store with all of the kids in tow.
