Fall has always been my favourite time of year. The rich smell of the earth after a hot summer makes me feel so grounded. My essential oil collection has grown a lot over the last few months and so I am very excited to try some new fall blends to help bring the outdoors in. Let me know what you think!

I used to love having reed diffusers around the house but they were quickly eliminated when I began removing chemicals from our home. Sadly, the store bought ones generally contain artificial fragrances and can be the trigger for allergies, migraines, and asthma symptoms.
The Solution?
Make Your Own Reed Diffuser!

What You'll Need: 

​Glass jar or vase with a narrow neck
Bamboo skewers or natural reed sticks
1/4 cup of light carrier oil (apricot kernel or safflower for example)
15 - 20 drops of your favourite Young Living essential oils
2 Tablespoons of alcohol (this helps the oil travel up the reed) – Vodka works great as it’s odourless
That’s it!!! Just mix it all together, pour in to the vase and pop the sticks in. Let the reeds soak for 5 mins then flip. When you notice the scent fade just flip the reeds!
Easy and so much cheaper than store bought ones. And just think of the possibilities for your creations!
