Make your home smell AMAZING without exposing your family to synthetic fragrance and toxic chemicals.
I just LOVE the way scents can transform a space and have always enjoyed picking blends for every season. After learning the dangers of synthetic fragrance and toxic chemicals a few years ago, I swapped my candles and plug-ins for essential oils and diffusers and haven’t looked back. Not only does my house smell even more amazing than it used to, the improvements to my respiratory and overall health cannot be ignored.
Choosing your Oils
Choosing quality essential oils is the most crucial part of swapping candles for cleaner alternatives. We obviously love Young Living for their Seed to Seal guarantee — I’ve been to a few of our farms myself and have seen firsthand the care that goes into every bottle — but it’s important for you to choose pure essential oils to diffuse in your home. Trust your brands and check your labels, the only ingredients should be oils — avoid synthetics and absolutely avoid fragrance!
Young Living distills an extensive variety of essential oils to cover every scent preference. Floral, citrus, spicy, woodsy, herbaceous, sweet, and everything in between.
Choosing a Diffuser
If you’ve been around for a minute you know I adore my Aria diffuser. It’s known as the Bentley of diffusers around the oily community because it’s the most luxurious diffuser. It’s both stunning and powerful enough to fill a large space with heavenly scents. I’m also obsessed with the hand blown glass diffusers and hand crafted ceramic diffusers that elevate any space without breaking the bank.
If you’re looking to get started on a budget, choose the highest quality oils first and then find a diffuser to meet your needs. There are several budget friendly options on Amazon that I love, including USB and car diffusers for taking your oils on the road.
Blending your oils
Promise me you won’t stress too much over this. Yes, there is a ton of information about essential oils and what they can be used for but when it comes to diffusing, you do you. If you love florals, try blending floral oils with citrus for a dreamy uplifting scent. If you enjoy woodsy scents, try blending with peppermint for clarity and grounding. Mix, match, don’t stress over ratios, and HAVE FUN! If you don’t know where to start, Young Living has pre-made blends like Stress Away, Peace & Calming, Citrus Fresh, Joy, and Clarity that do exactly what they say.
Blends I’m currently loving…
Rosemary + Peppermint + Lime
Northern Lights Black Spruce + Cinnamon Bark + Vanilla
Grapefruit + Geranium + Vanilla
