Next up are a few great diffuser blends:

Fantastic combo, perfect for the holidays!
● Earthy but Sweet Blend:
● 3 drops Orange Essential Oil, 2 drops Cinnamon Essential Oil and 3 drops White Fir Essential Oil 
in your diffuser. The smells of Christmas!
A few tips for the kitchen:
● Peppermint Hot Chocolate:
● Make your favorite hot chocolate and add in 1 to 2 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil and stir well. If it sits very long, be sure to stir it again before drinking as the oil will rise to the top – and you’ll have one minty sip in your mouth – so stir!
● Mexican Hot Chocolate – or Coffee:
● Add 1 to 2 drops Cinnamon Essential Oil to your favorite hot chocolate or coffee for an awesome kick. Be sure not to do more drops than that, it is potent stuff but so tasty!
● Cinnamon Drink Stir Sticks:
● Make stir sticks for a party by soaking the sticks in a Ziploc bag with about 4 or 5 drops of cinnamon or Peppermint Essential Oil if you choose that instead.
● If you are only doing a few, like less than ten sticks, then just use about 3 drops of the oil instead.
● Let them sit overnight and they will soak up the oil.
● This can also be done with toothpicks as well! They are great with Peppermint Essential Oil or Spearmint Essential Oil!
This last recipe is for a favor, to hang on your tree, to give as a gift on top of a present, or to give as a small token of appreciation:
● Bath Salt Ornament;
● This is perfect for teacher gifts or for small favors for party guests or family that are visiting. You can change the color of the salts with different food coloring drops, so you can make them more for Thanksgiving by adding Orange Essential Oil or choose red with Peppermint Essential Oil for Christmastime.
● Fill an empty ornament ball with 2/3 Epsom salt or sea salt and 1/3 baking soda.
● Leave just a little bit of room at the top.
● Pour the mixture from the ornament into a mixing bowl and add in 2 to 3 drops of your choice of oils, a teaspoon of dried flower petals if your choice, and a drop of food coloring for color.
● Mix well in bowl and then add back into ornament and tie on a cute ribbon for the hanger.
Some suggestions are: Green coloring with a woodsy scent like Cedarwood Essential Oil or White Fir Essential Oil, Orange coloring with Orange Essential Oil or Orange and Cardamom Essential Oil mixed, or red coloring with Peppermint Essential Oil.
Note: None of this is meant as medical advice. I am not a doctor, and do not play one on the internet. Please consult a physician if you have any questions about using essential oils so your doctor can better explain to you the benefits, possible side effects, and any warnings about essential oils.
