everyone wants a home that smells beautiful,
but many of the products made to do this aren't so great for us.
glade & fabreeze can send people like me into allergic coughing fits. & some are even be toxic to pet birds. there are natural alternatives that are cheap, easy, & won't hurt anyone.
plus, they smell much nicer.
sorry, glade lady! |
all you need is a large pot of water on the stove. bring ingredients to a boil for about 30 min, reduce to simmer, & add water when needed. this will also work like a humidifier.
to make your home ...
smell like a spa.
a few drops of pine essential oil |
a few drops of peppermint essential oil |
a few drops of lavender essential oil |
smell like you've been baking something amazing.
star anise |
orange peel |
cinnamon sticks |
smell fresh & clean.
a few drops of lemongrass essential oil |
if you want something for yourself, i suggest etsy's OpulentAlchemy.
she makes natural versions of well known perfumes & they are amazing!
this roll on perfume smells exactly like aveda's rosemary mint |
