The Holiday Season is full of colorful lights and decorations, beautifully wrapped gifts, sounds of music, and the many aromas associated with this special time of year.

The natural aroma of pine needles, oranges and spices, the nutmeg in eggnog, and freshly baked treats bring to mind pleasant memories of my childhood.

Unfortunately, synthetic home fragrancing has become all too common. Holiday candles and plug-ins are fragranced with synthetic fragrance oils that can trigger headaches and allergies.

Using natural aromas is easy, better for our health, and can be more affordable than buying synthetic candles, plug-ins, or other commercial products. It allows you to be creative in customizing your home's aroma to meet your mood.
