I used to love scented candles! My favorite was a cinnamon bun candle. It smelled divine. When I embarked on my holistic health journey, I discovered some unsettling truths about candles that made me rethink my love affair.
The fragrances in those candles can actually have negative effects on our respiratory system, hormones, and so much more. Yikes!
That's why I'm inviting you to join me this month to make some simple swaps toward better health. Let's commit to diffusing our favorite essential oils every single day in our homes, offices, or even in the car this summer.
By incorporating daily diffusing into our routines, we'll experience the amazing benefits of these oils. Trust me, you'll feel the difference after these 30+ days together.
Are you up for the challenge?

Aromatic Use of Essential Oils
Aromatherapy is a powerful way to enjoy the benefits of essential oils and enhance your overall well-being. If you’re nervous about using your oils topically, but you’re still wanting the many benefits from our incredible EO’s then aromatic use is a beautiful place to start.
Here are some amazing ways to incorporate oils aromatically into your daily life:
1️. Diffuser Delight: Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to a diffuser and let the aromatic mist fill your space with its enchanting aroma. Create a calming atmosphere before bedtime, uplift your mood during the day, or purify the air in your home.
2️. Inhalation Inspiration: Place a drop of oil on your palms, rub them together, and cup your hands over your nose. Take deep breaths to inhale the invigorating scent. This method is perfect for an instant energy boost or to promote a sense of clarity and focus.
3️. Scented Spritz: Create your own refreshing and natural room spray by adding a few drops of essential oil to a spray bottle filled with water. Mist it around your living space or on linens for a delightful and personalized aroma.
4️. Aromatic Accessories: Infuse your favorite accessories with the scent of essential oils. Add a drop or two to a diffuser necklace or bracelet and carry the aroma with you wherever you go. You can also scent your car by placing a few drops on a wooden clothespin and attaching it to the air vent.
Remember, our oils are pure and potent, so a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and adjust to your preference.
Cleaning Your Diffuser
Keeping your diffusers clean is essential for maintaining their optimal performance and extending their lifespan. Trust me, I’m guilty for going way too long in between cleans. Life!
Here are some helpful tips on cleaning your diffusers:
1️. Regular Maintenance: Empty and wipe out your diffuser between uses. This helps prevent the buildup of residue and oil remnants, ensuring a clean and effective diffusion.
2️. Weekly Cleaning: Deep clean your diffuser at least once a week. Follow these steps: a) Unplug the diffuser and empty any remaining water. b) Fill the reservoir halfway with clean water. c) Add a few drops of mild dish soap or a cleaning solution specifically designed for diffusers. d) Use a soft brush or cotton swab to gently scrub the reservoir and interior surfaces. e) Rinse thoroughly with clean water. f) Wipe the exterior of the diffuser with a damp cloth. g) Allow the diffuser to air dry before using it again.
3️. Removing Stubborn Residue: If you notice stubborn residue or oil buildup, you can use a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water to clean the diffuser. Follow the same steps as mentioned above.
4️. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Refrain from using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the diffuser and leave behind harmful residue.
5️. Diffuser-Specific Instructions: Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific cleaning recommendations and guidelines tailored to your diffuser model.
By regularly cleaning your diffuser, you ensure that it operates efficiently, maintains the purity of your essential oils, and provides you with the best aromatic experience.
