The Smells of Christmas {Essential Oil Blends}

One of the things I love about this time of year are the scents and smells of Christmas!  Cinnamon and cloves and peppermint just enhance the season and bring so many wonderful memories to mind.  I’ve been experimenting with different essential oil blends that capture the magic of Christmas and I wanted to share some of my favorites so you can fill your home with the smells of the season!

Use these essential oil blends in your diffuser {with water}, in a pot of simmering water on the stovetop, or in a small crockpot on the countertop.  Just be sure to watch a pot on your stovetop so it doesn’t simmer dry.

You can also add natural products to enhance the blends: orange peels, apple slices, fresh mint leaves, or sprigs of fresh pine.  Try these essential oil blends and then use your imagination and your favorite oils to create combinations of your own!
