Spring is in the air!

At least the calender says so, although you wouldn't know it from the weather. We woke up to snow this morning! Mind you it was barely a dusting and only stuck on the shady side of the street.

Even if Mother Nature won't cooperate, we can still bring the sunshine indoors with this fresh blend of essential oils. Fill a small spray bottle with about 150mL (or 2/3 of a cup) of distilled (or boiled and cooled) water and add:

5 drops Lemon
5 drops Bergamot
3 drops Petitgrain
2 drops Geranium (optional)

Be sure to shake the bottle well before each use. Essential oils do not actually mix with water without the use of a solubilsor, but for simple home use just shaking the bottle each time will suffice.

Keep in mind that standing water has the potential to becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. When I make and sell an air spray, I always add a preservative. However, for simple home use (and since it won't be applied to the skin), you can store this spray in the fridge and use it up within 3-6 months to inhibit bacteria growth.
