Lately I've been obsessed with essential oils, so today I want to share seven easy ways to

The first method is simple: Use an essential oil diffuser.

I use my diffuser daily and fill it up with whatever scents I feel like at the moment.

I love blending different oils to create new aromas.

You can check out my blog post that I've linked down below for my favorite recipes.

But the best part of this is there are no rules.

You can really put whatever oils you feel like.

Secondly, you can put essential oils in DIY cleaning sprays.

These are a great, non-toxic way to clean your home.

First, make sure you use a glass spray bottle because essential oils can degrade plastic.

Here are the ingredients you'll need for today's recipe:

Mix two tablespoons of castile soap with 10-15 drops of essential oils.

I put six drops of lavender, six drops of rosemary, and three drops of grapefruit essential oil.

Then add two cups of distilled water and shake well.

This recipe is safe to use on all surfaces and it's best when used with a microfiber cloth.

If you're curious, I'll list the most powerful essential oils for cleaning in my blog post

as well as two other recipes for all-purpose cleaners using ingredients such as white vinegar and vodka.

You can also scent your drawers and closet with cotton balls or cotton pads.

Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils onto the cotton and place it into your

I love opening my drawers and smelling that fresh lavender scent.

It's so calming and makes a huge difference.

Reusable wool dryer balls are a natural way to soften fabric and dry clothes more quickly

They work by getting in between your clothes, letting more hot air in and around your laundry.

What you can do is add a few drops of essential oils onto your wool balls a few minutes before

This is a natural way to gently scent your laundry without using dryer sheets that are

laced with chemicals and artificial scents.

This method is the most fun by far: Tear off a piece of tissue and put a couple drops of

Then lay the tissue on your floor and go over it with your vacuum cleaner.

Once your vacuum picks up the tissue, the scent will fill the barrel and be dispersed

into the air from the other end of your vacuum.

It was my first time trying this and I was genuinely impressed.

Lastly, you can always mix your essential oils with carrier oils like coconut oil or

You can use it as a body oil, massage oil, treatment for skin or scalp issues, and so much more.

Here I'm mixing lavender with olive oil, and it smelled so, so good.

I'm just using it as a body oil to moisturize, and also applying some to my scalp to treat
