The holidays are upon us again- how did another year go by so fast?!
If you love experimenting with essential oils like many, then you're going to love these oils diffuser blend recipes. These diffuser blends also make great gifts for anyone who absolutely loves Christmas and quite simply goes all out during the holidays!
We recommend using a diffusing Nebulizer instead of a typical diffuser, as the scent is much stronger and longer lasting, thus requiring much less oils, which will save you more money in the long run. (If you're using a diffuser instead of a nebulizer), then divide the drops quantity of each oil by ten.
So for this year, if you're stressing about what gifts to get your loved ones and ask yourself "What could be the easiest and the most perfect gift that absolutely everybody would love? A gift you can't go wrong with?" We think we may have the answer- diffuser blends with a holiday specific aroma.
