Fluence is the new pop-up (manager[?] hopes for permanency) on Harwood Court in Scarsdale aiming at dressing up homes and offices with essential oils and diffusers. Jaime was all smiles (yes...I felt it even with her mask on) and talked about oil blends used in their products. The interesting diffuser collection varies depending on the room's square footage you're using it in. My sleek portable diffuser is enough for my bedroom (primarily)- but I can easily move it to our home office, living room, my vanity room, walk-in closet or any other area of the house with ease. Plus I can also gauge how strong or how long I want the oils to diffuse. I've been enjoying diffusing my Sage+Vanilla (and Lavender I think) oil blend before bedtime to help quiet my mind, relax my body and get me into a restful state so that I can fall asleep more easily especially- during these challenging times. This is an excellent addition in chic Scarsdale and a much needed one at that. My home is my sanctuary and I'm sure yours is too. You can use sprays...but why would you want all those harmful ingredients around you when you can destress with some aromatherapy?

Last week, I read in the Scarsdale Inquirer about a new store that had opened on Harwood Court,…read morecalled Scent & Fluence. I was curious since I couldn't imagine a store that only sold "scents'. While walking on Harwood Court, I saw the store and a stranger walked up to me and said, "you should check out that new store, it smells incredible". I decided to go inside and as soon as I walked in the door I felt like I was being seduced by the most incredible fragrances. I realized that Scents and Fluence might be the best remedy to staying at home during our ongoing pandemic. You can have the most stimulating scents or aromatic ones pumped into your home via your heating and air-conditioning systems. You might choose to buy individual room "scenters" that can give off little blasts of fragrances that might stimulate your teenagers to be more motivated as they zoom with their classmates. I ended up buying some amazing hand sanitizers with fragrances that came in both masculine and feminine scents. For me, I bought a Bamboo hand sanitizer that came in a cool little bottle for $6. I put some on when I got into my car and I was astonished by how the aroma filled the vehicle; I inhaled and felt almost giddy. The owner, Caroline Fabrigas, was kind enough to explain all the unique features of her store and how these scents can enhance your home or office. I would urge you to visit her store and explore how you can improve your lives and those of the members of your family. As soon as I tried my Bamboo hand sanitizer I began to call some of my friends and urged them to plan on visiting Scents & Fluence. I don't normally get so excited about a new store, let alone one that sells " fragrances " but as we are often stuck at home and with the prospects of another shutdown looming, I think Scents & Fluence might help make staying hone more pleasant and possibly even more inviting.

Whether you need to wish someone 'Happy Birthday' or tell them 'Thank You', Paper Source on Pondfield Rd in Bronxville, has a lovely range of unusual, heartfelt and premium greeting cards for so many occasions.

Walls on either are taken up by 'Thank You', 'Birthday' 'Religious', 'Friendship', etc card categories and center of the store has small gift items propped up on tables. Service from two young ladies was fine and felt when I asked for help, they were willing and able. Prices are a bit steep- but considering the 'wow' factor I picked up from the 2 cards I purchased, a Recipe box with the appropriate index cards to gift to my daughter and a Frida Kahlo canvas pouch I couldn't pass up, this spot is alright. I thought I liked Papyrus- but Paper Source is the perfect place to pick up a striking card or two- or 3- I think. I'm not sure how frequently their items change- but this is a nice treasure trove.
