If you are having a sh*tty day or week (or month, or heck, YEAR) then you need to embrace the power of aromatherapy.
Friday (Aug. 30) is Grief Awareness Day, so here are five scents that I've heard will put some pep back in your step if you are full of grief, misery or anguish. You can even rack up on some candles to get a jump-start your happiness.

Lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit-based aromas are purported to lift you out of those blues. You can even use these fragrances to help eliminate a funky-smell (which is why you find a lot of detergents, dishwashing liquids, and household cleaning products scented with lemon).
