baking – The Joyful Oilers

Hey friends! I hope you guys are enjoying fall so far! Me? Well, I’m just going to have to pretend for now because San Diego hasn’t gotten the memo that it’s supposed to be fall and we’re in the middle of a crazy heat wave at the moment. But that’s ok, because I can create my own sweater weather in the meantime with my a/c and I can trick my subconscious mind with all the autumn smells wafting through the air courtesy of my diffuser. Yay for autumn smells!

If you follow me regularly you may recall a recent blog I wrote on scented candles and why you should avoid them like the plague. Think cancer, asthma and many other terrible things you don’t want for yourself or for your family. Long story short, most scented candles are highly toxic and release undesirable chemicals into the air, which you then breathe in and take into your lungs and into your blood stream. It’s not worth it, friends. Just say no to toxic scented candles!

But smells are such a huge part of our lives, aren’t they? Especially during this fun and festive time of year? What’s a girl to do? Forego dreamy autumn scents in exchange for healthy lungs? Well, guess what friend. You can have your dreamy autumn scents and keep your lungs healthy at the same time. This is where essential oils come in, obviously. 🙂 Today I am going to share with you my top 20 diffuser recipes for fall.
