I'm trying to remember to put fresh oils on the burner every day after finishing the daily housekeep. Its a lovely finishing touch!

Buying a beautiful vintage quilt was the thing that finally after years and years of nagging from mother and effort from me actually got me to make my bed every day - it's such a thing of beauty that I like to see it spread out over the bed and also I like to keep it in good condition so it lasts another hundred years, so I'm good about pulling the covers right back to air the bed when I get up and then making the bed up once I'm washed and dressed.

So... all I have to do is to have very single thing in my home beautiful and I'll become tidy and perfect!!!

Maybe not.. ;-)
But I think maybe the beauty of a thing helps to make it a habit to look after it - in your case the beauty of the scented oils.

I also have oils in my burner every day, such a beautiful smell.

Every night, when John and I are ready to settle down to watch our chosen dvd, I light the candles in the sitting room, put our lovely warm blanket on the sofa and then we snuggle up, we do this every night and it is something we look forward to, we have snacky things by our side to pick at while watching the dvd, and foxy and jack snuggled up to us on the sofa aswell, simple bliss.
