Christmas Diffuser Combos!

Merry Christmas Eve!

It's the time of the year to curl up by the fire with hot chocolate, the Christmas tree lit, a Christmas movie playing in the background & a Christmas scented candle burning.. or is it? I say a big YES to all of the above EXCEPT the Christmas candle!

I know I'm not the only one that has lit up one of those ever so popular candles & gotten a good dose of nauseous with a side of headache to accompany it. The smells are so strong & over powering to me. I literally can NOT stand the smell of super sweet fake pine anything from my mother burning those candles in my child hood. It wasn't until after a few times of burning her Pine scented candle that we put 2 & 2 together that it was the culprit. While I LOVE the smell of vanilla, those sugar cookie candles make me never want to eat another cookie. EVER. Parents with small children, I can almost bet most of your candle burning days are over with the possibility of those little hands & an open flame. Rest easy, I have your solution.. Diffusing Young Living essential oils! Not only do you have ZERO flame & it automatically will shut off when it runs out of water BUT you also have zero chemicals or toxins being distributed into your home.

First up, Sweet Candy Christmas. I was skeptical of this combo at first. It didn't take long for it to sell me. Call it peppermint patty, call it candy cane.. whatever it is will knock your socks off. This has been on repeat in my diffuser the past week! I do 3 drops of Ylang Ylang & 3 drops of Peppermint.

Next up, Festive Fireside. This combo is warm, spicy & calming with that hint of citrus. Not to mention that Thieves will help keep those germs away! For this combo I suggest 2 drops Cedarwood, 3 drops Orange & 4 drops Thieves.

Lets be real, it wouldn't be a Christmas diffuser post without a Christmas Tree combo! For this recipe I like to do 3 drops Christmas Spirit, 2 drops Orange & 2 drops Idaho Balsam Fir. It smells like Christmas is living right inside your diffuser.

Lastly, I couldn't forget Frankincense. This oil was worth more than gold back in ancient times & is one of the oldest known oils. Yes, oils are nothing new people! They have been around FAR before we were around. For this combo I suggest 3 drops Frankincense & 2 drops Cinnamon Bark.

The suggested drops are just what I have found that I prefer. You can always change them according to your preference. Want more Citrus? Add more Orange. You want more spice? Add more Cinnamon Bark! Tree scents up your alley? Add more Balsam Fir! The strength of the scent is completely at your discretion & they actually have benefits other than smelling nice. That's definitely one of the many perks to diffusing. Customizing is at your finger tips! I want to see you try to do that with a candle.. oh wait..

I'm wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy your loved ones & all the Eggnog you can handle!

Peace & Oily Love.
