whets your favorite oils for Christmas and what do you do with them?

[Guest guest]

I like to use a lot of the pines on my artificial garland, it doesn't help

the look ( still looks like old plastic) but it smells 'right " .

 

 

 

I do have a real tree, not sure if that's good or bad these days, the guy I

buy from plants two more for everyone sold.

 

 

 

For the house, I like to blend orange, clove and cinnamon with a tiny touch

of sandalwood, I diffuse this in my family room.

 

It makes my house smell yummy, makes the kids crave cookies, lol..

 

 

 

What is your fav mix this holiday season?

Carol,

I like to take Cranberry, pomigranite, cedar * only a touch*, cinnamon, clove,

orange, vanilla and sandalwood and make a scenting mix then put it on cut dried

slices of orange or apple and string these with cranberries and sometimes

pinecones to make decoration for the house.. i often use pine boughs and cedar

branches to add these to and make swages for the wall.

Smells divine all season and causes virtually no mess.

Vicki, your blend sounds heavenly.

 

 

 

My local grocery store chain is selling cinnamon pine cones, and they smell

great, I use those to scent the bathrooms.

I tried putting pine on some pine cones and putting them in a sealed

bag for a few days. When I took the pine cones out they had such an

intense smell, but after a few days the scent was barely there unless

you held them right up to your nose. I thought the eo would " soak "

into the pine cones but it seems to have evaporated. Any suggestions?
