By this time every winter, Minnesotans are ready to be done. Enough snow, enough cold, enough darkness. We're ready for sunshine and green things. And just when we think we hear the birds chirping, we get hit with another couple of inches of snow.
So here are our two favorite diffuser blends for the last few weeks of winter. Pop one into your diffuser and let it carry you somewhere greener.
Spring Blend
- 2 drops Lemon
- 2 drops Grapefruit
- 2 drops Geranium
This simple blend just smells clean. Lemon and Grapefruit are bright and zesty, and Geranium adds a soft, rosy-green finish. Swap Basil in for the Geranium and add it to water in a glass spray bottle for a fresh room and linen spray.
Garden Fresh
- 4 drops Rosemary
- 3 drops Cedarwood
- 2 drops Ylang Ylang
- 1 drop Vetiver
One sniff of this blend takes us straight to the spring garden: digging in fresh earth, dirt under our nails, sun on our backs. Rosemary brings the green, herbaceous lift, Cedarwood and Vetiver add a deep, earthy base, and Ylang Ylang adds a sweet floral note.
Close your eyes. Hear those morning birds? Is it spring yet? Nope, not for us either. But the next few weeks don't seem quite so long now, do they?
