Every Home Has a Story

This post was sponsored by Air Wick as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.

A house is one thing. It is just a building that holds your things and gives you a place to sleep. A home, on the other hand, is a place that holds your hopes and dreams and where your memories are created. Most people, once their house has become that home, can look anywhere and tell a story about it. Like "Remember when the little one tried to" and then out comes a story that brings a smile to their face.

We don't always get to have the same home forever. We move on with our lives.  Sometimes it is by choice, sometimes it is because your needs change and sometimes it isn't by choice. Kids grow up and move into a house of their own. People move for jobs or downsize to a smaller house. While you can always create new memories in a new home, it can be harder to bring back those warm memories and feelings. With the exception of talking about something specifically, there is one thing that is known for triggering special memories. Scents.

Air Wick knows this. With the new Life Scents™ Collection that features Spiced Apple Crumble, Snowflake Vanilla Cookie, Emerald Woodland, and Berry Cool Winer, these first-ever constantly changing fragrances is the perfect way to bring the holidays home this season. You are able to fill your home with these scents in an array of ways, using plugin refills, Freshmatic® Auto Spray Refills as well as candle and wax melts in select fragrances.

Because Air Wick knows the importance of a home, Air Wick has launched its Give The Gift of Home campaign this holiday season. This heartwarming video will resonate with feelings of home during this time of year.  Showing people's reactions to moving to a new home, it is something that everyone who has created special memories in their home can relate to.

Air Wick is donating $250,000 through a portion of their profits to benefit families in partnership with Habitat for Humanity International.

For me, it is the smell of something baking. My kids love to bake with me. When they hear me in the kitchen they come running wanting to help, and of course, lick the spoon. The smell of something sweet in the oven that makes me think of the kids being little. What scents brings home the holidays in your mind?
