Fall Essential Oils Diffuser Blend
It’s that time again! My favorite turn of season: Summer into Fall. I just love the crisp cool air, cozy sweaters and smells of fall. Fall essential oil blends are some of my favorites. I used to go all out on the fall scented candles this time of year, but you know what’s WAY better than candles in the home? Diffusing essential oils. Here’s why.
Essential oils are extracted from plants and seeds, capturing all the nutrients that have amazing health benefits. Many of them actually have anti-bacterial properties and even mood enhancing properties. Diffusing essential oils in your home literally cleans the air you breathe and breathing that air gives you all the health benefits.
My fall essential oil blend uses 3 oils to create that cozy warm scent. Each of them have wonderful health benefits:

Essential oils are the best for all kinds of DIY home and personal products. You just need a few simple ingredients + containers that you can get on amazon and you can start creating cleaning sprays, lip balms, creams, bug spray, massage oil blends and the list goes on!
I use this bedtime linen spray just about every night for multiple purposes. First, the lavender and ylang ylang essential oils help with sleep and relaxation. I don’t know about you but I find that my mind is racing at bedtime with thoughts from the day or to-do lists and I love having something that helps me wind down for bed. Second, essential oils have anti-microbial properties so it helps keep your pillow and sheets clean! And last but not least, it smells lovely 🙂

Essential Oils Containers
Essential oils should not be stored in plastic containers since the properties can break down the plastic, destroy the oil and cause leakage. You should always use glass when making your own home products to be on the safe side. I get mine here.
How To Use
Spray a spritz or two on your pillow or sheets as you’re getting into bed. Slow down your breathing with long and deep inhales and exhales as you breathe in the oils. Goodnight!

Natural DIY Lip Balm with Essential Oils
Lip balms and chapsticks from the store can have tons of unnecessary and potentially harmful chemicals in them. That’s why I’ve decided to make my own!

Did you know that there are very little regulations on what chemicals can be used in our personal care products? The numbers are mind-blowing. They also don’t even have to disclose what’s in them!
