I have always been a fan of scented candles, especially the 3-wick candles from a certain store. I love how wonderful they make my house smell and being able to purchase the scents to match whatever time of year it is. I still love the way those candles smell, but a couple of years back I decided to try my best to get away from products with artificial ingredients or fragrances. I thought that would be a healthier choice for our family. I slowly made the switch to all my cleaning products and personal products. I was sad when I learned that it really isn’t very good for us to breath in all the artificial fragrances from scented candles either. So trying to be good, I only started buying candles without synthetic fragrances. I do admit last fall I cheated and allowed myself one fall 3-wick scented candle, and one Christmas scent but then the rest of the year I was good again. 🙂
This year trying to be better I started experimenting with some essential oils to see if I could come up with a fall scent. I am by no means an expert with this, or what brands of oils are the best to get, but I assume any would be better for our family to breathe in then artificial fragrances. My daughter and I had fun working on this the other day and we thought what we came up with made the house smell really good and ready for fall! I don’t think this smells near as strong as a 3-wick candle so you will have to spray it every so often to keep up the scent. I realize to buy all the oils for this can be more costly up front but they will last a long time. Let me know what you think!
I started with a 16 oz glass spray bottle. I use this one here.
Then I added 8 ounces of filtered water to the bottle. Next I added my oils. Here is what I used.
Shake up before each use and enjoy the natural smell of fall!
