how to make you house smell good naturally
We often talk about detoxing our bodies but not very often about detoxing our home but the air we breathe is as important as the air we expel… I guess you could say you are what you breathe.
I think more than ever this is a time to keep your home fresh and the air in the house clean. So here are a few tips on how you can do this naturally without using chemicals.
align your home with nature
Capturing the magic of spring, its warm rays, bird chirping, and bringing the scent of fresh morning dew indoors can be a very easy and a fabulous theme for not only your seasonal table but your home.
By introducing the fragrance of blooms, blossom and essentials oils you are sure to align your home with nature. Once this special room is complete, sit back on your favourite chair and breathe in the satisfying atmosphere that you have created linking your room and the outdoors.
Essential Oils
Whether you are planning a small gathering or just want something to enhance your spring cleaning, there are some great essential oils to diffuse in your home
spring cleaning with purifying essential oils
This is a great time to launch into your spring cleaning. After a period of “hibernation”, your house can become stale and feel a little drab. More than just clearing out the clutter and tidying, you might want to think about detoxifying the air in your home.
Make A Room Spray
- Another easy way to bring a fresh outdoor scent in your home is by making a natural room spray. In a spray bottle, mix 70 ml of water, 30 ml of vodka 10 drops of Geranium, 10 drops of Vetiver, 10 drops of Rose and finally 10 drops of Bergamot.
- Shake well and spritz around your home to enliven, freshen-up and get the energy flowing!
- Shake before each use.
make your home feel peaceful
Now that the air is purified, it’s time to use the diffuser and bring something that will make your home feel peaceful and help trigger sense memories to remind you of springtime.
Nothing evokes this season like the scent of flowers, so when I host an Easter event I use a diffuser to help my friends really sense the vibrancy of spring.

Diffusers are a fantastic way to make your home smell fresh. Ditch the toxic air fresheners by replacing them with essential oil diffusers. They are easy and affordable and so much healthier for your family. Your home will smell of spring and you’ll reap the therapeutic benefits of the essential oils you use.
