You walk into an upscale department store, your eyes pass over the luxury and shine of it all, and you’re immediately enveloped by the smells of cinnamon and sandalwood. Know the feeling? Those exotic, expensive, fill-your-heart-with-joy scented candles are hard to resists, but you know better! Fall is the hardest time of year for me. Those pumpkin spice candles and my old habits of going into Bath and Body Works is real. But over the past few years, and some oily education, I know better now too!
Candles can be full of harmful chemicals and artificial ingredients that have no place in the home. The next time you’re tempted to purchase sweetly scented harsh chemicals, remember that you have pure and potent, not to mention incredible smelling, aromatic oils waiting for you at home! So plug in your diffuser and fill the room with these essential oil diffuser blends for an aroma that’s better than any retail candle.
Cliffside Dreaming
When life is less eat, pray, love and more work, work, work, you need an Italian getaway! Combine the bubbly scents of Grapefruit and Citrus Fresh™ with high-class Geranium and the depth of Blue Cypress for an aroma that will have you considering a one-way ticket to a Mediterranean cliffside villa.
Midnight Blossoms
What’s more exciting than nighttime adventure when the clock strikes 12? Nothing! When your busy schedule and tired eyes leave little time for midnight fun, add together the blossoming aroma of Jasmine to the bold scents of Orange and Neroli with a bit of balmy Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood™ and warm Copaiba.
Staycation Sweets
Just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean you’re too old for sleepovers. Call your friends over, bake a dessert, and get ready to gab all night! Make everyone feel at home with this blend of sweet Stress Away™ and spicy Cinnamon Bark and Nutmeg. They won’t be able to resist this cozy aroma!
Forest Fantasies
If you don’t have wild moors or tangled forests nearby to wander in, you can still get lost in your own whimsical fantasies and daring daydreams. Add the musk of Patchouli with cozy Cedarwood, bright Bergamot, and earthy Juniper for a scent that will sweep you away to sun-speckled trees.
Snowy Escapes
Leave responsibility at the cabin door and get ready for a weekend of staying warm by the fire while it snows outside! For when it isn’t winter or you can’t make it to the mountains, diffuse brisk essential oils like Northern Lights Black Spruce and Pine with calming oils like Sacred Sandalwood and Ravintsara.
