For today's post, I am rearranging my planned schedule of themed posts on Sundays. I have several themed posts that will be coming up toward the end of this series, as well as quite a few that will flow over into November. For today, though....
During the summer, I had some fun experimenting with different essential oils to create a sweet smelling room spray. I love spritzing a bit of something lovely here and there, but most of the products you will find in a grocery store are loaded with chemicals and things that you don't really want to breathe in. I came across a base recipe for natural, healthy room sprays and have since had so much fun creating seasonal scents.
Here's what I came up with for Autumn, and it could well go into Christmas and wintertime, too. It smells delightfully inviting and full of a warm, cozy feeling. Spritz just a bit, and your whole room will smell delicious!
Warm Autumn Room Spray
Equal parts water and witch hazel (or vodka)
15 drops Clove essential oil
15 drops Orange essential oil
8 drops Cinnamon essential oil
Combine all together in a spray bottle, shake to mix well, and then enjoy the scent of a warm, cozy atmosphere!
What delightful, creative idea dear friend! I love room sprays but have yet to find one that is my idea of a little bit of heaven....((smiles))
ReplyDeleteI must try this recipe...bit perhaps as it is coming up for Summer Jere in South Africa, something lighter would be a good idea...so I'll be saving your lovely idea for Fall!
Hugs to you, Libby....will write to you later today....
Hello dear Kelly-Anne!
DeleteOh, yes! Room sprays are so delightful! I found that a lovely combination for summertime is lavender and lemon essential oils. Our lemon essential oil also has eucalyptus in it, and that adds a little extra something special {{smiles}} It was very refreshing and cool smelling...we used it so much during the summer months. I must admit though, that I am so happy to be using warm scented oils now!!
Have a lovely Sunday, sweet friend! Thinking of you all ♥
Love and hugs!
