There are some folks who can't be around scents because of allergies and general sensitivities. I'm blessed because I'm not one of them and can enjoy incense, essentials oils, etc. However, I do know how terrible it is to have your breathing interfered with because someone wears oils or perfume, burns incense, or has loads of flowers in an inside space.
Out of respect for people with such sensitivities, I quit wearing any sort of scents when I go out. If someone with such issues comes to my home, I also make sure there are no scents that could cause them discomfort. Guess what I realized the other day. So as not to offend others, I also quit using oils and incense in my own home when no one will be here who has any sort of sensitivity issues. Oh, my! How unfair to myself!
Whereas I will continue to be respectful of others, I am now allowing myself to wear my delicious essential oils and use my diffuser again when in my own home. I think I'll look at some other areas where I might be engaging in doing or not doing based on other people's needs and not my own!
