7 Quick Ideas to Scent your Home for the Holidays

It's a busy time of year! Too much to do to spend time reading a lengthy blog post. :-) Here's a shortie:

Want your house to smell like Christmas? (1) Heat some water on the stove, and throw in a few cinnamon sticks, a few cloves and heat gently. Do not leave unattended; and do not let the water evaporate until the pot is dry. (2) Use your diffuser. If you love that "real tree" smell, but have an artificial tree, try a few drops of Balsam Fir essential oil. (3) Bake cookies! (4) Diffuse some Bandit's Blend...it's a lovely mixture of cinnamon, clove, lemon, eucalyptus and rosemary. Bonus: it may kill airborne virus (5) Arrange some natural evergreen boughs in a wreath, on a mantel...anywhere they can scent the air (6) Stud an orange with cloves. Do a few, and put in a bowl where the fragrance can be appreciated. (7) Dry some pinecones. Dilute some cinnamon essential oil (25 drops in 1 cup of distilled water) in a spray bottle. Shake bottle vigorously; then spray pine cones. Mmmm!
