So if you guys have been following me the last few months, you probably already know that I recently ditched allll of my scented candles.
I made a YouTube video recently talking about the hidden dangers/chemicals in artificial fragrance, and therefore in candles..you can check that out if you’d like more info!
But just because I’m no longer lighting candles in my home, doesn’t mean I don’t want to bask in the cozy fall & holiday scents on the season!! So instead, I use my YL essential oils 🙂
I’ve been playing around with different combos SO much recently (one of my fav parts about oils: how customizable they are) and in this post I’ll be sharing with you my tried & true favs. So let’s just get right into it!
My holy grail festive blend: 6 drops Christmas Spirit, 2 drops Davana, 2 drops Cinnamon bark
The perfect warm, spicy, sweet fall scent: 3 drops Christmas Spirit + 3 drops Orange + 2 drops Thieves + 1 drop Clove
Smells like sweet, mulled cider – 3 drops orange + 2 drops cinnamon bark + 2 drops ginger
Perfect Christmas scent – 3 drops Christmas Spirit + 3 drops Pine (Christmas Spirit all on its own is also AMAZING)
Smells like a sweet orchard – 2 drops Bergamot + 2 drops Orange + 2 drops Cedarwood
Only have the starter kit? 2 drops Thieves + 2 drops Stress Away + 2 drops Lemon
You can adjust the amount of drops you use based on how big the room your diffusing in is, and also to your liking! And also, if you don’t have one of the oils listed, doesn’t matter! Leave it out, sub something else in, whatever! If a couple more drops fall in, no big! There is literally no rules when it comes to diffusing – just do what feels right & have fun with it!! My house has been smelling so cozy & festive, I seriously wish I could have you all over for a glass of wine so we could all bask in it, lol!
If you want to join me in this oily lifestyle (promise you won’t regret it!) you can start here 🙂

How can I get my oils to be as potent as my old candles? Just continue to add more drops? I feel like my home diffuser barley touches my living room and it’s so sad!!

Yeah you just gotta play around with the amount of drops you use – it totally depends on how big the room is!
