🎄Diffuser Holiday Joy


Hi Aromatic Friends!

I hope this email finds you deep in the midst of a happy holiday season 🌟

I'm writing this email as I sit in front of a fireplace in a cabin in that woods that sits along the Spruce Creek. This is where James and I are spending Christmas with our adult kids and our grandson, Nico.

Naturally, I packed my essential oil diffuser along with a few favorites—Petitgrain, Clove, and Frankincense—to help us stay relaxed and feeling our best.

I’ve created two Christmas-inspired recipes for you to try in your own diffuser. They’re warm and sure to add a magic drop of a holiday feel to your home.


🎁 Christmas Cozy Blend

  • 3 drops Orange (Citrus sinensis)
  • 2 drops Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum verum)
  • 1 drop Clove Bud (Eugenia caryophyllus)
  • 1 drop Black Spruce (Picea mariana)

This one smells like sitting by a crackling fire with a mug of spiced cider. 🍊


🎄 Evergreen Bliss Blend

  • 2 drops Pine (Pinus sylvestris)
  • 2 drops Cedarwood (Juniperus virginiana)
  • 2 drops Orange (Citrus sinensis)
  • 1 drop Clove Bud (Eugenia caryophyllus)

Perfect for filling your home with the serene, grounding scent of a winter forest. 🌲


I’d love to hear if you try these blends or have a favorite of your own! Just hit reply and share your stories.

Be happy, be well,

Happy Monday my Aromatic Friend! I hope you had a great weekend...and maybe began to play in your garden? Saturday I began to clear the yard, getting ready for my distillation garden — such a joy to get my hands in the dirt again! But while clearing a patch near the fence line, I ran across something less joyful… poison ivy. 😬 Leaves of three, let them be! That encounter reminded me that I've got some terrific remedies if you’re sensitive to the oils in this vexatious plant - like I am! 👉Here...

Hello My Aromatic Friend! I hope you're having a great weekend and if you're in the US, have been enjoying lots of beautiful fireworks! We are dog-sitting Winnie, our granddog this weekend and we love it! Our cats, on the other hand, are so not happy LOL. I believe that synchronicity is never to be ignored because it's a sign from the Universe to pay attention. It is often guidance on what to do next. Last week I experienced some unexpected synchronicity. I had TWO people ask me in the space...
