So I finally got all of the stuff in necessary to making my own reed diffusers. Yesterday, I had the chance to play! I surfed the net for a while to try to find a good recipe that included the fourteen or so essential oils that I ordered. That was the toughest part about the whole thing, other than finding the conversion for ounces into cups (I don't have anything that measures in ounces). I doubled the recipe because my little vase was large enough to do so. It's pretty nice!
I was able to smell it when I walked into my house after class, so I guess it's working pretty well! I think there is one oil that is more overpowering than others, so maybe I'll add some of the less powerful oils to try to even it out. Lavender is the very strong scent throughout my house, but when I get close to the vase, it's lemon that is the strongest. Maybe I shouldn't mess with it and see what happens after I flip the reeds over.
This is one of the vases that me and my friend found for me when we redesigned my living room. Here's my bookcase after:
And before:
My new small bookcase:
And my throw pillows match this other vase:
Bye bye old air fresheners and hello homemade diffuser!
