I can’t believe we are already 4 days into August!

Welcoming August in, I wanted to share with you a diffuser blend that was inspired by visiting family over the long weekend ( we hadn’t seen them in 7 months, and took all social distancing pre-cautions).

Try out this Sweet Holiday Diffuser Blend and tell me what you think, just add:

  • 2 drops of Tangerine
  • 2 drops of Ylang Ylang
  • 2 drops of Cedarwood
  • 2 drops of Sandalwood

I hope you enjoy this sweet but relaxing blend!
