The smell and taste of Autumn using essential oils

By Sheila McGinnis on 23rd Oct 2020

Oh, how I love Autumn! The colors of the leaves, the crispness in the air, the wonderful taste and smells of baked goods, and much more. I also love to diffuse essential oils in my diffuser that brings the scents of Autumn to my home such as clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange. Some companies even have some seasonal oils already blended that you can choose. Just a few drops and your house will smell fantastic.

Speaking of baked goods, did you know you can cook with most essential oils? Make sure you choose a reputable company and splurge for organic essential oils. Below I have included a healthy and delicious recipes with some alternatives to fit your need.
