I feel like my house smells. I know it doesn't but with 2 dogs, 1 reptile, 3 kids, and a small house, I know it can get "not so fresh" quickly.

I love all my candles and yummy plug ins from Bath Body Works but I know they can be considered toxic. Any suggestions for easy, 24/7 use for essential oils? Maybe a plug in diffuser that can be plugged in all the time? Do those scented rings around the light bulbs? What do you do?

TIA!

I love the fragrance oils they sell here.

Part of what I love is going in and smelling everything but you can order online as well. I never confirmed it, but they have told me in the store that everything is natural.

I bought an electronic diffuser on ebay a few years ago. It just takes a few drops of essential oil.

This is going to sound odd, but it really works. Fill a spray bottle with some vinegar and a bit of essential oil (I like lavender.). When a room seems not so fresh you just spray a mist in the air. The room will briefly smell like vinegar. After a few minutes it dissipates and the room smells refreshed.

i found something on Pintrest to just uncap your old wallflower refils and fill it with EOs. seems easy enough to do :)
