DIY Room Sprays and DIffusers Instead of Candles

DIY Room Sprays and Diffusers.

There are hundreds and hundreds 

Heidi said  "Ok, the cat is out of the bag! I was a HUGE candle person. Mostly for the pleasant, home sweet home ambience, they would create. Seasonal scents such as Warm Apple Cider, Pumpkin Spice, Christmas Tree Pine, Spring Is In The Air etc are very popular and can make our homes feel more festive."

Unfortunately, most mass-produced scented candles can have a negative impact on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). From the wax to the wick to the fragrance itself, the average scented candle can release harmful chemicals into the air — even when unlit. So while you and your family enjoy the fragrance of scented candles in your home, they may be damaging your health."

You can find heaps of research that supports my blog - just Google  "danger of candles".  I am going to keep it simple for you.  

There is no question that we particularly like to have our homes smelling lovely when guests arrive. 

So you come in the house and it smells musty and friends are coming so you find the nearest candle  (pine forest candle) and you are really not doing yourself any favours.   So today is the day and time to say "I will no longer burn smelly candles in my home."  Or if that is too harsh - say I will take a closer look to find out what is actually in the candles I have in my home before I light the wick again.  

You will appreciate that many candles on the market today are made from the petroleum byproduct, paraffin.  Yes, that is without question a repeat offender among the list of toxic chemicals.  

In fact, when you burn candles aside from accidental fires, the process of burning anything always runs the risk of emitting unhealthy fumes and particles.

Three things to consider when you are checking your candles:
1. Examine the wax ingredients
2. Inspect candle wicks
3. Avoid fragrance

Your healthy candle checklist

• Make sure the wick is made using 100% cotton
• Choose a fragrance-free candle, or one that uses 100% pure essential oils
• Choose 100% pure beeswax with no artificial colours

Heidi again says: 🌿HAfter discovering essential oils, I next learned about the difference of all the many kinds of essential oils you can buy.  If you want to join our 14 Challenge to Remove Chemicals from your home use this link and you can hear more of her story. Now that I had pure, therapeutic grade essential oils and not fragrance essential oils, I was all set & good to go! I started ditching the candle habits and found the same blends can be made with oils."

Let's take a look at the two DIY's you can make to replace candles, & fragrance room sprays.
