Smell the sweet aromas of a custom blend infusion of peppermint and lavender essential oils filtering throughout the room. Hear soothing songs of meadowlarks singing in the morning, wind sweeping across a prairie, wheatgrass swaying from side-to-side, melodies of nature captured for the ears to hear. Dimly lit candles flickering on the countertop, fresh white linen draped perfectly across the table, colorful Hawaiian boutique accenting the division of realism and escapism for what your eyes want to see. Feel the warm abiding embrace of a nurturing, kind and gentle soul that lies within you. Then, taste on your palate the herbs enriching your body from the organic tea you just consumed while waiting for this moment of therapeutic bliss.
