Do you enjoy stimulating one of your senses more than other ones?. Which one and how do you do that?
I enjoy tasting things. As a child I remember tasting soil and mixing it with chocolate and biscuits ext. As an adult I'd taste almost anything, it could be leaves or round colourful things from the trees, flowers, wood or chemicals. If it's possibly dangerous or not chewable, then I'd give it at least a lick. Tasting is such an adventure for me that I really enjoy. I remember it was one of the best parts of visiting the botanical garden.
Please share with me your sensory adventures
This is a nice thread
It's smell for me.
So, my very favourite plants are herbs and I grow a lot of them.
I'm always rubbing them for the intense aroma.
I grow unusual types of thyme and mint for the smell (and the mint moths).
I love walking through rose gardens when the roses are in full bloom.
The old fashioned roses are the best (Mottisfont rose garden is a favourite).
I wear perfume every day and that gives me a lift.
I also love aromatherapy and put essential lavender oil in the bath and on my pillow.
I get tester bottles of various aftershaves and perfums and keep rotating them in the day so by the time I go "nose blind" to the first one from the morning I get a new one in the afternoon. :)
Sounds very relaxing indeed :). When it comes to smells, I prefer to smell nothing at all although the smells of nature and herbs sound amazing. The smell of the sea water, soil after rain and a bakery are few of my favourites!
