Isn't this pretty? And not really related but since blog posts without pictures are kind of boring, here it is.
We've been using essential oils for health reasons and just for smelly reasons. I have a Pumpkin Spice candle I love to burn but haven't figured out oils to replicate or get close to it.
A friend borrowed one of my diffusers to try and she happened to have Young Living's Christmas Spirit essential oil blend. It contains Cinnamon Bark, Spruce and Orange oils. I don't know the specific amounts and I don't really like orange, but I bought a Spruce to combine with the Cinnamon I already had.
I am loving it. Amazing smell, health benefits and a nice, warm feeling even if it is miserable outside. I just sort of add drops of both and sniff and add more of one or the other to make the right mix.
I'm trying to break away from candles because they can have all sorts of objectionable things in them. Even the ones made in the USA. It's harder then you'd think it would be and I probably won't do it completely.
My favorite candle is from Walmart, Pumpkin Spice for $5. I love it. Don't tell the die-hard oilers! That ugly label peels off easily so you don't have to stare at advertisement when you gaze into the flames...
