As we are full swing in the holiday season, I have found that some just are not participating as much as year's past. This blog is meant to awaken your senses and bring back fond memories of holidays past.
The association of a particular aroma varies for many depending on where you were brought up or lived. Here in the good ole USA memories of happy childhood holidays may be evoked the the aroma of Bayberry,
because traditionally at this time of year, candles made from Bayberry wax was burned in the memory of the first settlers who made all their candles from the Bayberry.
There is another aroma that most of us know and it definitely warms the spirit and evokes fond childhood holiday memories and that is fresh cut Pine
or other resinous conifer.
So from my studio to your family, I give to you today a simple recipe for HOLIDAY HOUSE SPRAY.
Recipe:
Pine Essential Oil 4 drops
Orange EO 2 drops
Cinnamon EO 1 drop
Diluted in 1 cup of distilled water in a plant spray bottle.
(These oils are available at your local natural grocer and other specialty stores, or the never fail WWW.)
With the help of nature's essential oils, the evocative aromas of the Holidays need not be lost. Stay tuned as Part 2 will be here soon.
Happy Holidays and Most Abundant New Year!
