Inspiration for Libra Season
If you were born between September 23 and October 22nd, congratulations, you’re a Libra!
Libra is the cardinal air sign of the zodiac, and interestingly is the only sign represented by an inanimate object: the scales. Libras are interested in keeping different areas of their lives in balance, and they strive for personal harmony.
Libras are fascinated by high art and other sources of beauty. They are aesthetes and connoisseurs. They want to surround themselves with beauty in everyday life. They’re proud of their excellent taste, and make wonderful designers and art critics.
The duality of the scales represents the Libra’s need for companionship. They enjoy stable, harmonious relationships, and may not be comfortable with being alone.
Libras are charismatic, and seek to earn and engage the attention of people around them. They love gatherings, but prefer fashionable and subdued parties to ragers.
Amazing colors for Libras
Libras tend to prefer soft, beautiful colors over brash ones, and pink and blue are particular favorites. Pink represents their affectionate and romantic nature, and blue speaks to their calm and intellectual nature.
It’s no wonder we chose our Blue Slushy Mica as a colorant for Libra season. This is a beautiful blue color that can range from a light sky blue all the way to a deep blue like calming caribbean waters. Micas are one of our most versatile colorants, and they work great in soap, bath bombs, and almost any other project you can think of.
For the Libra’s big heart, we chose our Pink EcoGlitter. It’s a beautiful pink color, but not a cotton candy pink, so it should remain within the Libra’s exacting aesthetic tastes. It adds a dose of sparkle to any project (you know glitter is back in fashion, now, don’t you?) and can be added to soap tops, to melt and pour soap, bath bombs, and more. Even better, it’s made from cellulose, so you don’t have to worry about microplastics going down your drain.
Fantastic fragrances for Libras
When we’re looking at fragrances for Libras, we’re looking for something understated, yet beautiful. Something that represents this sign’s calm and steady nature.
Naturally we chose our Serenity Fragrance Oil for Libra season. This fragrance represents this sign’s calming nature and desire for beauty. This fragrance combines classic florals like rose and lilac, and puts a fresh twist on them with fruit, herbs, and light woods. It’s a relaxing smell that wouldn’t be out of place in a high-end spa.
Roses are Libra’s birth flower, with their nearly universal association with love and romance. And what better way to get a true-to-life rose scent than with rose absolute? Using rose absolute helps to avoid perfumy or powdery scents that may offend the Libra’s standards for quality. Rose is a classic floral that can be combined with other fragrances or essential oils if a more complex scent is desired.
The best projects for Libras
Attention to physical beauty appeals to Libras, so what better project for Libra season than a moisturizing lotion bar? Our Dewy Rose Lotion Bar Project combines moisturizing cocoa butter and jojoba oil to keep skin looking its best. It’s scented with Dewy Rose Fragrance Oil, which combines familiar florals with fresh greenery and notes of amber. A swirl of Raspberry Mica gives it a soft pink color.
Scented candles are a great way to regain your serenity and balance after a long day, so we chose our Tranquility Candle Project for Libra season. It’s a candle designed to relax you. Scented with our Relaxing Fragrance Oil, a blend of sweet and fresh with a light base of musk. The wooden wick produces a soft crackling sound as it burns, and the wax itself is colored a pale blue, perfect for your favorite Libra.
The perfect additives for Libra projects
Maybe you already have your Libra season projects planned out and you’re just looking for that special extra something to add. Well, we’ve got you covered.
We love rose clay for Libra season. It adds a soft pink color to almost any project, and as with other clays it also brings gentle cleansing properties to the party.A little rose clay can also make your DIY soap feel silky and luxurious, perfect for the sign that loves the finer things in life.
Because heather blooms into the fall (and sometimes even into winter), our dried heather flowers are a wonderful addition to your Libra bath and body products. Heather is also easy to grow and very dependable, and dried flowers are a classic look for bath products that never goes out of style. Add heather flowers to bath teas, scrubs, and bath bombs for an added bit of luxury, or decorate the tops of your soap with them for texture and visual appeal.
These are just a few of our favorite picks for Libra season. Are there more? You bet. Check out our selection and see what’s a perfect match for your Libra themed projects.
