As I’ve learned more about the toxins in air freshener sprays and scented candles, I’ve been working hard to get those products out of our home.

Even though I make my own Febreze, it’s easier to have an essential oil diffuser to naturally freshen the air. Essential oils are safe, non-toxic, and much cheaper than conventional air freshener sprays. And they provide additional health benefits as well!

We have an essential oil diffuser in just about every room of our home, and we use different essential oil diffuser blends from morning until night–even while we sleep.

Not sure what kind of diffuser to buy? Short answer: always use a cool-mist diffuser. Here’s more info on the best essential oil diffusers and what to look for.
