How's school going for you so far? Have you been the productive student that you committed to being at the beginning of the academic year or do you already miss the freedom of summer? Studying is DEFINITELY no joke and with all the distractions online, staying focused on the lesson at hand can be difficult.
When you need a little push to get all your schoolwork done, it means your brain needs a little stimulation! This is what certain scents and fragrances do for you. Studies have shown that specific scents can trigger your brain to become more productive, concentrated, and focused.
A
Harvard study showed that scents go directly to the regions connected with emotion and memory.
