Everyone says to "stop and smell the roses", but what if you have allergies?

What scents do you enjoy if flowers aren't a particular favorite?



An Ice Cream Shop?



A baby clean fresh from a bath?



Rain in the air?



Candle Shops?



Maybe your favorite meal?



What tickles your senses?

I love the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking - the smell of vanilla and chocolate in the air is totally intoxicating!



I love the smell of baby powder!! So soft and warm, makes me think of snuggling in a blanket, and of course rocking small babies!! Ah, bliss!!



How about the smell on Thanksgiving morning with all the turkeys roasting in the neighborhood? Doesn't it just smell like home and friends and family? It always warms my heart!!



I love the smell of apples cooking with cinnamon!! Is there anything better?



I love the smell of candles - blueberry crumble, mulled apple cider, vanilla, christmas spices!!



I love the smell of some men's colognes. I told one friend that his should be against the law - it just smelled too good to be legal!!



Excuse me, I think I smell something wonderful right now! I really have to go find out what it is. Ahhh!!
Reply:if you're allergic, i guess you could 'take a picture' instead!



i do love the scent of fresh cut flowers... but sometimes you just can't get 'em. here are some substitutes:



pine trees in the woods on a summer day.

the smell of dark chocolate just before you bite it.

the neighborhood is grilling out on a saturday night.

the "furniture shop smell" (new, not used.)

the scent of wild raspberries on your hands after picking them all day.

the lake, or the ocean.

fresh sweet corn!

and yes, candle shops and aromatherapy.
Reply:You don't have to smell the roses just what ever will wake u up from dreaming.
Reply:If you can't stop and smell the roses, then stop and smell the chocolate!!(mmmmm..good stuff)



If you are allergic to chocolate, then stop and smell the coffee. (mmmmmm)



If you are allergic to roses, chocolate, and coffee, then stop and smell yourself....cause you are a loser, dude, and you reek : )
Reply:It means be thankful for what you already have now and enjoy happy thoughts and things around you.
Reply:AXE!



ok seriously - people need to stop wearing that godforsaken body spray.
Reply:I've always preferred "wake up and smell the coffee" to "stop and smell the roses". The two things that keep people from achieving their potential are laziness and fear. But which is greater? And if we have only one life why shouldn't we experience every smell good or bad to the extent that we are capable to experience it.

Good luck -G
