I was talking to a friend yesterday about christmas. Somehow we got on to the subject of christmas smells and the air fresheners you can get now. She told me that artifical air fresheners have been linked to depression in a way that makes it worse and they can trigger it off in the first place.

I have just gone onto google and typed in

depression artificial air fresheners

There is losds of stuff there about it. I was quite shocked. I love my christmas mulled wine and spices air freshener but not sure i wanna keep using it now as thinking back i have had a few extra crappy days where things have piled on top of me lately.

Check it out.

Love Trudi. xx

I hate air fresheners! I can't breathe when we have them, to the point I won't even let ds1 have a spray deoderant in the house! It used to be because it made me feel sick during pg, now I just hate them and they never smell of what they say they will anyway!
