make it smell pretty.hippy.
my line of work has a lot to do with scent. naturally, i like smell goody things. what i dont like, is glade crap and all of those fragrance oil mass marketed products that are available on every store shelf across the country. i swear they come out with something new every week. oil diffusers, auto-spray canisters, plug ins, little weird lamp thingies that supposedly make it smell pretty. i say, fumigate. i admit, ive been lured into the marketing from time to time and purchased them for my home too. then realized, i was abusing my inhaler because my asthma was triggered by “something”. over the years i have come to the realization that no matter how many times i try, or no matter how much these companies claim to use ” essential oils” … i simply cannot breathe them. i suffer.
so … ive come up with a way to make my house smell nice, without the use of such products. due to my line of work, at my disposal is an arsenal of real, pure, top notch essential oils. in my home, ive got this little nifty floor steamer, because there isnt a stitch of carpet in my house, again.. to try to eliminate allergy and asthma dust collectors. so i use the steamer on the flooring all over the house.
sadly, even floor cleaners bother me, so ive been using just plain water steam in my floor steamer for a while now. then it hit me – hey wait a minute. i can remove, wash, and replace these fabric coverings that go on my floor cleaner. right… so why cant i just put essential oils on the top of the pad, and as im steaming the floors, i can diffuse pure essential oils all throughout my home. bingo. works like a charm. no, works better than a charm, wait, what charms… do charms even work? – well, this works. it works great. period.
anywho – just thought id share this little discovery in case there are others out there like me, that simply cannot be, or do not wish to be exposed to the nasty mass marketed fragrance oil products out there.
thats all for now. off to make my house smell like a hippy hangout. patchouli-lavender today!
-until next.
