Photo by: Aleksandra Tanasiienko
Spicy, warming, cozy, and uplifting! Add this simple blend to an essential oil diffuser, a pot of simmering water on the stovetop, or to a tea kettle atop a fireplace to make your entire home smell amazing.
Recipe:
- 10 drops sweet orange essential oil
- 3 drops cinnamon essential oil
- 2 drops cardamom essential oil
- 1 drop clove bud essential oil
- 1 drop ginger essential oil
Tip: you can transform this into an aromatherapy spray by placing the essential oils into a 2oz bottle, and fill to the top with water, Shake well before misting.
P.S. If you don't have some of the essential oils, that's totally okay ~ or, if you feel as though you'd like a little less orange, a little more ginger, or would like to add some nutmeg or allspice, go for it! This recipe is totally adaptable and will still smell festive and wonderful!
