About

Hi! I’m Terian, an Interior Designer and founder of Calm Your Tits, a small-batch home fragrance business based in a wee village in Fife, Scotland.

I created Calm Your Tits because I wanted to make a fun, JOYFUL reusable, essential oil reed diffuser that was not only striking in a home (like a piece of art!) but that was also made from natural fragrances (no nasties) that helped to make you feel good.

Our diffusers are hand poured using stunning blends of natural essential oils specially selected to help you feel chilled out.

Our Story

After 5 years of running a busy Interior Design studio, whilst being a mum to 2 very wee ones, running on adrenaline and pretty much neglecting my own health and wellbeing, I hit burnout pretty soon. Yes ok, I think everyone else could see it coming, aside from me. Inevitably, this led to experiencing a lot of anxiety (sooo much anxiety!) stress, and problems sleeping.

I tried sooo many different things, including medication, but I just really struggled with trying to relax. Out of desperation one day, I bought some essential oils in a bid to try and help me relax. I started off using them at night and noticed a huge improvement in my sleep. I then started to diffuse them whilst working to help with focus and feeling calmer and I even carried a portable mist diffuser in the car to help me whilst driving. Yes, I fully committed to the aromatherapy healing!

Fragrance oils vs Essential oils

Using essential oils for my wellbeing became part of my daily routine, and it was working!

But did it just have to be essential oils that could make me feel calmer? Could I not just burn any old candle with any scent and feel chilled?

I started researching the benefits of natural essential oils versus artificial fragrance oils (which are often used to fragrance things in our homes like candles (even the expensive ones!!), our beauty products and even cleaning products. The results were pretty shocking. While essential oils, because of their natural origins, have proven health benefits, artificial fragrance oils often contain toxins which can actually be harmful to human health. They have been linked to causing problems such as headaches, allergies, breathing problems and more! EEEK!

An "Accidental" Business

As a self-confessed fragrance junkie, this research was pretty shocking and was the catalyst for me "cleaning up my act" in and around our home. Starting with removing as many artificially fragranced items I could in a bid to "detoxify" our space and only bring things in that would benefit us and not cause harm.

I started experimenting with making my own home fragrance and beauty products using only non-toxic, natural ingredients and essential oils in a bid to reduce the toxins in my home and help me to feel better.

I knew I had to share this with a wider audience, to bring a bit of calm and joy into other people's lives.

As a designer, I wanted to create a colourful, bold and beautiful product for people's homes, whilst also encouraging everyone to reduce the amount of artificial fragrances they were using.

It was never meant to be a new business, but here we are, a sister company to our interior design studio. Before I knew it, Calm Your Tits was born!

Why Reed Diffusers?

Well, that's just the start really, but this is such a brilliant, accessible naturally scented product that you can take anywhere and you don't need a flame, like candles! Oh and did I mention it looks bloody beautiful?

Why "Calm Your Tits"?

Why Calm your Tits? Well, why not? I wanted to create a fun, playful, joyful tongue-in-cheek brand that didn't take itself too seriously but did take your wellbeing, and my wellbeing seriously, whilst making some cool stuff and having a laugh along the way. Now you have to admit, the name made you smile, didn't it? ;-)
