A holiday hug full of carcinogens like benzene and toluene!!!
Nobody wants that. Not you. Not Grandma. Not sweet little Aunt Suzy. Not even your naughty nephew. But I can tell you what they do want...
A holiday smell that won't give them a headache.
Candles and rooms sprays are some of the most toxic products you can have in your home. Heck, all air fresheners are just a hot mess and it's mainly because of the dangers of artificial fragrance! But candles have one more important ingredient that can cause havoc in your body: paraffin wax.
If you have respiratory problems, headaches or are just sensitive to smells-- you may have trouble even going near a store that sells scented products. It's the chemicals! So why not make your a nontoxic holiday air fresheners instead?!
Remember to purchase top-grade essential oils because those cheap quality ones are no better than artificial fragrances!

Apple Pie Spray

I love using Thieves for Thanksgiving-- it's got this great scent that is almost like gingerbread! But when you add the bit of orange.... it's just heaven.
It Smells Like Christmas Spirit Spray
- 1 oz water
- 1 oz vodka, rubbing alcohol or witch hazel with alcohol
- 10 drops of Christmas Spirit Essential Oil
This essential oil is the quintessential holiday smell. It's got cinnamon. It's got the trees. It's got a bit of sweet. It's just perfect!
*If you want your spray stronger-- just add up to 20 drops of essential oil in either of these recipes
Holiday Floor Freshener
If you want to give your carpets or rugs a boost this holiday season try this recipe!

Sprinkle on your floors and let sit for 15-30 minutes. Vacuum up the baking soda mix and your carpets or rugs will smell like they are fit for Santa Claus.
Diffuse The Holiday Situation
Use holiday scents in your diffuser to really set the holiday mood!
Some of my favorite holiday scents are...
- Cinnamon
- Thieves
- Peppermint
- Frankincense
- Myrrh
- Christmas Spirit
- Pine
- Spearmint
- Evergreen Essence
- Clove
- Ginger
- Juniper
- Balsam Fir
- Orange
- StressAway
- Wintergreen
Mix and match and pair them up to your little heart's desire! You can make a delicious scent by mixing peppermint with spearmint, a Christmas tree by mixing pine with evergreen essence or perhaps peppermint mixed with cinnamon is more your style.
GO CRAZY and HAVE FUN!
So please ditch those holiday candles and room sprays to spare yourself and your guests from giving the gift of petroleum, benzene and toluene. Instead use your diffuser and make DIYs like these to keep everyone in the holiday mood without the headache!
