Lavender’s lovely perfume also makes you feel nice and sleepy, which is why it’s used in relaxing bubble baths.
Flower Belle likes to pick lavender flowers and dry them out, then she puts them in little pots around her house to make each room smell nice. Or she makes mini lavender sachets, which she puts near her pillow to help her get to sleep at night.
