You planned the food, you planned the table top, you sort of cleaned up, but YIKES, you forgot the smell of old sneakers coming from your kid’s room and the bathroom, well…

Here’s how to scent your home naturally and super fast for Thanksgiving. 

1. Whip up a quick batch of homemade scents:

• Homemade Spicy Apple Air Freshener
• Pennyroyal, Cinnamon, & Lavender Air Freshener

2. Toss some orange or lemon peels into your disposal, add a pinch of baking soda, run some water, and grind away.

3. Fill a spray bottle with plain old water (about two cups), add three drops of orange essential oil, (or another scent), spray lightly around your house, and even on fabrics – make sure you don’t spray this on white linens, as the oil might leave a visible mark.

4. Grab a pot. Fill it with water. Add some whole cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, a dash of ground nutmeg, and boil on your stove top. Alternatively, use this water mix in a bowl that sits on your wood stove or burn this in a water diffuser.

5. Kill two birds with one stone, and make Hot Spiced Cranberry Punch. You get a beverage and air freshener. 

6. To spiffy up a bathroom super fast, take an old cleaning cloth (small one), drop 8 drops of your fave essential oil onto the cloth,  and hide behind the toilet, in a drawer, or at the bottom of your waste basket. Your whole bathroom will smell much better.

Next up, I’ll be getting that new contest I previously mentioned posted, however I decided to take most of yesterday off. Hence the no contest yesterday.
