Ooh these are some great tips! Thanks =)
I love these tips! I have essential oils/this gave me great easy ideas for them! Thanks
I'm using my slow cooker to diffuse essential oils - I kept forgetting to refill the potpourri pot and burning it dry. I fill my slow cooker every morning and add essential oils whenever I need a lift.
Right now my favorite blend is lemon, lavender and tea tree to ward off viruses (and it smells great!)
I posted my favorite essential oil diffuser blend recipes at Easy Aromatherapy Recipes.com
The Cinnamon Spice recipe is a nice winter-warming one.
