Ocean Views was kind of created on accident. I knew that I wanted a scent named after the song Ocean Views by Nipsey Hussle, because the song was such an inspiration to me. But, I also knew that I wanted to make a scent that was a combination of three of my favorite Tulasi incense, Aloe, Lavender and Lemongrass.

I embarked on a journey to build a scent that reminded me of the ocean.  I sampled so many water type fragrances; clear rain, ocean water, sea breeze, sea berry.  None of them were close to what I was looking for. None of them hit me like, yeah, that’s the one!  I had to deal with the fact that I would either have to give up on my Ocean Views scent or I would have to settle for something less inspiring and call it Ocean Views 😕. 

 

So, I paused the search for the time being and proceeded to gather the Aloe, Lavender and Lemongrass fragrances oils to make a scent that I didn't quite have a name for 😅.  I actually considered calling it, Lemonder (smh).  When I received the samples I requested, I proceeded to mix them together.  The lemongrass was so strong, I instinctively knew not to use it all.  I gave the fragrance oils a little shake and took a whiff.  Wow! I remember saying aloud to myself, "I think I found my Ocean Views!"  It was perfect…just the scent I had be looking for.  Who knew that my favorite Tulasi incense would be the aroma that I had only smelled in my mind. 

 

 

So that’s it. That's the story.  If the feeling and the sonic vibe of Nipsey Hussle's song, Ocean Views, could metamorphose into a scent, it would be aloe, lavender and a little bit of lemongrass.  We would call it Ocean Views, small circles for the chosen few… (somebody write the next line in the comments…keep it going!).

We've all been there. Our homes are filled with items that we no longer need or use, yet we struggle to let go of them. We might have a closet full of clothes we haven't worn in years, a pile of books we promised to read, or a collection of knick-knacks that we've accumulated over time. So why do we hold on to all this stuff? Here are 15 reasons that might explain why.
