February is a wonderful opportunity to create a spirit of joy in your environment by focusing on the senses romance inspires.

    Sight: If January didn’t motivate you to clear your home of clutter, February can be a time to rededicate yourself to the task. A clean, organized space injects new energy into your home and allows you to relax without distraction.

    Smell: The soft fragrance of fresh flowers can do wonders to lift the spirits during winter months. Buy yourself some flowers for Valentine’s Day and commit to making it a habit! A bowl of oranges, or a small pot of water simmering on the stove with citrus, cloves or fresh herbs is another simple source of fragrance.
