The sun is shining, fresh air blowing in the window and you can smell the floral scents from the garden. Well, maybe it isn’t – but I have some refreshing essential oil diffusing blends that will make your house smell like summer, any time of year.
How To Create Blends
I get asked a lot how do you come up with essential oil blends.
The best way I find is to take your oils that you are considering blending and open each bottle up and put them close together, and then sniff in the aroma. It will give you a good idea of how the blend will smell.
I have used this method tons of times, and I am happy to say I now have some fantastic combinations that I keep in my essential oil book of blends. I write down the blends I use so that I can use them later on. I wanted to share some of the top mixes I have used or found on the web and fell in love with it!
