The Key To Entertaining With Pets
Sponsored by AIRIA
The reason my partner and I have been putting so much TLC into our home isn’t just to make it more personal, comfortable, and functional, but we also wanted it to be a place that friends and family felt warm and welcomed — basically a place everyone wanted to be! We’re constantly trying to make the house more entertaining-friendly, so our dinner parties that turn into late-night karaoke sessions in the living room are even more enjoyable for all. One small issue: we’ve got three pets that pretty much run the place and as much as we love them, they can make having guests over a little trickier — or rather stinkier.
With our dogs, Luigi and Sterling rolling around in who-knows-what outside and our kitty Verbena’s personal restroom inside, there’s an abundance of scents — and they’re not always pleasant. I tried masking them with scented candles and sprays and it was a never-ending battle. However, when the folks at AIRIA contacted me to try their new smart home fragrance device, I was hopeful that this would be the game changer. And honestly, it totally delivered.
First of all, if you’ve followed along with me and the evolution of our home, you know I love me a good home gadget, especially if it syncs up with my other devices. The thing that initially excited me most about AIRIA was the fact that I could manage it from my phone via the AIRIA app, or turn it on or off, up or down with a voice command (thanks, Alexa!). I also thought it was cool that the AIRIA team includes design and fragrance experts, so the device is just as beautiful and sophisticatedly scented as it is user-friendly. The packaging is beautiful (minimal and black with iridescent lettering). The smart home fragrance device also features a light with adjustable color and intensity, so you can set the mood with one tap of a button or quick command.
But arguably the best part of using AIRIA in our home is just how effective it is. The magical scent micro-droplets float all over the house and evaporate, leaving just the right amount of scent — and it works on spaces up to 2,000 square feet, so every nook and cranny is covered! I love their Manuka honey and jasmine blossom infused with golden amber, soft woods and touches of fresh spice. Now whenever we have people over I can focus on what’s important: the food, cocktails, and conversation — not whether or not you can tell three animals occasionally poop or pee in in our home. Ha! You can purchase AIRIA online (use code: DABITO20 for $20 off your AIRIA device). And if you’re in NYC, stop by their pop-up at the Naked Nolita shop, which I went and it was really fun to see and test it out in person.
