Fall Diffuser Blend Recipes Guide – Free Printable

Blog, Essential Oils, Holiday Printables, Printables

Bring the aromas of Fall inside your home by diffusing Essential Oils. I have put together a guide of 16 Fall diffuser blend recipes to help you bring the scents of Autumn into your home!

Scented candles may emit potentially hazardous chemicals; to help avoid artificial fragrances and possibly toxic chemicals use a cold water diffuser instead.  Essential oil diffusers typically use 70-80 ml of water and 5-12 drops of essential oils.  By using a diffuser your space will smell wonderful and will also deliver health-promoting benefits.

Can you boil water? If the answer is yes then you have the skills required to make hairspray from home!  Not only is it simple to make but it is also inexpensive and made with natural ingredients you probably already have in your home.  By making your own hairspray you will be avoiding all the nasty chemicals found in store bought hairsprays.

I honestly do not wear hairspray very often but when I do I want to use a product that is natural and non-toxic. What better way to know exactly what I’m putting on my hair then by making those products myself.  I discovered how easy it is to make a homemade & natural hairspray and best of all it works great! Now I’m sharing how simple it is to make hairspray with you and of course a cute label to go on your bottle because I love to make cute labels for everything!

Homemade Makeup Brush Cleaner with essential oils

Homemade DIY makeup brush cleaner with essential oils

When was the last time you gave your makeup brushes a good deep cleaning? I’m sharing with you a simple homemade makeup brush cleaner that is easy to make and uses common non-toxic ingredients! 

Now that I have found this great homemade/diy cleaner I won’t be so lazy when it comes to cleaning my makeup brushes.  You can use just an oil and soap to clean your brushes but I really like that this cleaner includes essential oils with cleansing and purifying properties for extra clean and purified brushes.  

 It’s really a good idea to do a deep clean like the one I’m sharing once a month.  This will remove old makeup, bacteria and other yucky stuff in your makeup brush bristles.  If you have oily skin or are prone to breakouts you can do this deep clean weekly or every other week.  

I just want to mention it is recommend to at least wipe your brush off with a clean towel in between uses daily.

Homemade Makeup Brush Cleaner You Will Need:

dirty makeup brushes

small bowl

wash cloth or paper towels

2 tablespoons oil (extra-virgin olive oil or fractionated coconut oil)

2 tablespoons dish soap or castile soap

Directions:

1. Add oil, soap and essential oils into a small bowl.

2. Swirl your brush in the mixture for 30 seconds, or until you see the makeup stored in your brush start to come out.

3. Rub in a circular motion on the palm of your hand to release all the makeup from the brush.

4. Rinse the brush under warm water (NOT HOT). Swirl brush bristles in your palm until clean, and the water runs clear.

5. Wipe brush bristle gently with towel and try to get out excess water.

6. Shape bristles to original sharp and set on towel for 4 hours or until dry. To prevent fluffy brushes from losing their shape roll fluffy brush bristles in a towel tightly while drying.

DIY Essential Oils Body Mist

Blog, Essential Oils, Green Living

Essential oils have so many benefits for your health and well being but they can also be used to make you smell good!  Ditch the perfume and all the hidden chemicals and use a natural and pure body mist or perfume made from essential oils.  It will probably cost a lot less too!  

I never wore perfume or body mist because they always made me sneeze but now I spray on my DIY body mist daily!  It smells good and I also benefit from the essential oils  aromatically.  For instance, I spray my Calming Blend body mist when I am feeling anxious or need to relax. 

It’s easy to make a body mist, perfumes are a bit more complex.

As you may know, I prefer easy and that is why I make body mist sprays.  For a body mist you simply add 5-10 drops of essential oil to 4 ounces of water and shake well. You can experiment and find the mixture that works for you. 

DIY Essential Oils Body Mist

Popular essential oils to use in for a body mist:

  • Calming Blend (My Favorite!)
  • Invigorating Blend ( My 2nd Favorite)
  • Blend for Women
  • Grounding Blend
  • Lavender

DIY Essential Oils Body Mist Fragrance Mix Ideas:

Mix #1: peppermint, lavender, sandalwood.

This scent is fresh, refreshing, clean, and has a hint of musk.

Mix #2: Invigorating Blend, fennel, vetiver.

This scent is woodsy, sweet, and citrusy.

Mix #3: cassia, cypress, vetiver.

This is a very sweet and spicy scent.

Mix #4: basil, lavender, ylang ylang.

This is a fresh and floral scent.

 I love using different scents based on how I am feeling.  Also, I get so many compliments on the my “perfume”! 

Do you use essential oils as a perfume or body spray? What scents to you prefer?

Beyond emotional benefits, diffusing essential oils can purify air of unwanted odors and some airborne pathogens.  In my home we use our diffussers in the living room and my bedroom.  Sometimes, I move the living room diffuser into my boys room at night if they need extra help going to sleep.

Here are 6 of my favorite diffuser blends that can be used for your emotional wellness. All of these blends are added to 80 ml of water.
