why does the smell of fresh basil make my whole day better?
Last summer, I planted a tiny basil plant on my windowsill. I didn’t expect much, but every time I brushed past it, the scent hit me—fresh, peppery, and a little sweet. It instantly made my kitchen feel like a cozy Italian café.
I started pinching off a few leaves for pasta and salads. The more I picked, the bushier it grew. Turns out, basil loves a little attention. Watering it in the morning became my mini ritual, and the smell always lifted my mood.
Now, whenever I need a pick-me-up, I just rub a leaf between my fingers. It’s wild how something so simple can bring so much joy. If you’ve never tried growing basil, trust me, your nose (and taste buds) will thank you.
