OoOOooo that smell…

Last minute gift idea because I snatched up one for myself…

diffuser

I saw this essential oil diffuser and ordered it for my niece, Katie. When it arrived I opened the box (first mistake). I plugged it in (telling myself it was just to make sure it worked — second mistake), and then totally gave up and filled it with water and a few drops of essential oil (third mistake). The final and fatal flaw occurred when Katie arrived shortly thereafter and this gift idea was totally hosed.

I’m not a huge “holistic healing believer” — you won’t see me forgo Motrin for a drop of peppermint oil on pressure points. But I do really like the light scent, soft light, and moist air that the diffuser provides. Get one of these for a gift — even if the recipient has one already, they will always find a place for another. (Unless you’re my sister-in-law. I thought I’d get her one until my brother said she already has 6 strategically placed at their house.)

So far, my favorite scents are tangerine and peppermint. And one last tip — I put a couple drops of sweet orange essential oil in my Shark steamer when cleaning the hardwood floors. My whole house smelled AMAZING.
