DIY Room Freshener

I have been having so much fun making all these goodies, and researching different things to make

My Favorite thing in life is when people say how good my home feels, how comfy it is :)

One of the things I do is always have some sort of room freshener going
From Candles, Warmers (Scentsy), Reeds, Solid Room Fresheners to Room Sprays

Well I LOVE Room Sprays, and started looking at how much I spend on them
Yea, never going to spend that much ever again!!!

I looked to, of course Pinterest first and my boards (I had quite a few pinned)
Most of the ones I had pinned consisted of a large amount of water
That did not work for me, I wanted something that would bind better to the Essential Oils and when I sprayed it I did not want "water" left to dry

So the research/search continued

I learned that Alcohol Dries FAST and that it is a great binding agent, thus why it is used in Mouthwash so much then I found  - Cheap Ways to Make Your House Smell Good on eHow (Click to see original post)

What you need
1/2 Cup Vodka (the cheap stuff works fine - this bottle was $6)
1/2 Cup Distilled Water
Essential Oils - I used
    3 Drops of Lemon
    3 Drops of Orange
    3 Drops of Grapefruit

I call this spray my Orgasmic Citric Happiness!!!

This is by far the BEST Room Freshener I have EVER Used!!!!

I can't wait to try different blends of Oils :) :)

Enjoy!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Lemon Water

My husband calls me a Water Princess - The reason, because I am so Picky about the water I drink.
I do Not like the taste of the tap water where we live, nor have I in the last few places so we have gone to a refillable Water Cooler.  One of those that you refill the 5 gallon bottles, and it dispenses either Hot or Cold water. Great Right :) Well it gets "worse"  I am picky about where we refill the water, and the taste.
It can take us trying EVERY water refilling place in the area (it took up to 6 different places before I found the best in one place)

Drinking water is so important, I just have a thing about it has to taste good too :)
Plus you can save a ton of money drinking water instead of soda, especially at a restaurant.

I have always loved Lemon in my water, first it is good for you, second makes it taste better ;)
Most times when we go out to a sit down restaurant I will get a water, some times they don't have lemon for water, or the wedge they send is just - Tiny.  So I bring my lemon with me, no not a fresh lemon, my lemon oil.

11 Benefits of Lemon Water

In the morning I start my day with a glass of water and few drops of Grapefruit oil, then through out the day a glass or 2 of Water with Lemon Oil.

In the picture you will see not only my Oil Bottles, but that little amber glass one, yep that is the one that I keep in my purse. It is the perfect size and so easy to just pull out and use :)

Again it is VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT To ONLY Use Therapeutic Grade Oils
Read the Label if it says for external use only - DO NOT USE in water you are drinking!!!
