TRAVELLIVE 01-2016

Dear Travllive’s readers, On these first days of New Year 2016, cheerful melodies of Tet have been played everywhere, marking the arrival of Lunar New Year. Lyrics of old traditional songs have their own power to call back my memories as if I was just a child happily singing the songs with my friends day by day when Tet was coming to town. When I was studying at university, I had two Tet each year, one for patients and the old in social protection centers and one for my family.

Sometimes, it's not easy to find raw materials<br />

to prepare traditional fragrant water.<br />

Therefore, Slow living introduces you a more<br />

simple formula to bring the Tet smell to your<br />

house. Try to mix essential oil as follow:<br />

. 5ml sandalwood oil - 10ml cypress<br />

essential oil - 50ml rose essential oil -<br />

15ml pomelo peel oil - 20ml tangerine<br />

peel oil (for 100ml "Tet smell")<br />

The Tet smell is so sweet and warm with<br />

familiar scents of pomelo and tangerine peel<br />

with sandalwood and cypress oil, bringing<br />

you tranquility in this busy life. Try this "slow<br />

living formula" by bathing with a few drops<br />

of the mixed oils or burning with candles,<br />

letting the smell spread throughout your room.<br />

You will have great moments.<br />

We wish you an "aromatic" Tet holiday<br />

with your own oasis of fragrance!<br />

My mother shares that "bathing in fragrant water on the last day of the year<br />

is considered a special custom to wipe out all the bad luck of the previous<br />

year and welcome in the luck and happiness of the new year". The most<br />

wonderful moments are the times children like me sniff the scent of fragrant<br />

coriander combined with the slight smell of pomelo peel, tangerine peel and<br />

lemongrass. My Tet memories are stored as these warm and sweet smells.<br />

Immersing myself in the sea of work, I travel a lot and have chances to try<br />

many premium fragrances from around the world. I seem to forget the<br />

scents of childhood then today, I am accidentally reminded about them. After<br />

2 hours flying, I will go back home to find these pure smells. The first<br />

place that I'll go to is not my office but my house. I will slow down my life<br />

pace, strolling down streets to see the colors of Tet and to sniff the Tet smell<br />

releasing from the pot of fragrant water in my house.<br />
