Change is in the air once again! In order to embrace and celebrate the bounty of nature, transform your home into a warm, welcoming sanctuary for you and your family.
Ingredients and Materials:
- Glass Bottles (as many you you prefer)
- Fragrance reed sticks
- Fragrance or essential oil of your choice (we chose a pumpkin soufflé type)
- Refined plant based oils (such as avocado or sunflower oil, with about 10% jojoba oil)
Instructions:
- Mix together about 90g of avocado or sunflower oil with 10 g of jojoba oil.
- Add between 1%- 3% fragrance oil of your choice (start with less, and add more if you need to!). Mix well.
- Pour the mixed oils into a decorative glass bottle/ small vase with a stable base to about ⅓ full.
- Insert the reed sticks into the oil.
- Wait a few hours for the oils to travel through the reed sticks to fill your home with delightful fragrance!
- You can occasionally turn the sticks upside down to increase the amount of fragrance you are diffusing.
Tips and Tricks:
- Use an oil blend that is fairly resistant to oxidation, like avocado, sunflower or ricebran oils. Nut oils are not a good choice.
- Add jojoba oil to extend the shelf life of your oils.
- Always place the diffuser away from a sunny window- this also helps to keep it longer.
- If you can, choose a dark glass bottle to further preserve your diffuser oils.
- Always check the maximum usage rates of any fragrance or essential oils you use.
