Summer sunsets and summer nights are hard to beat. You can still feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, but the air begins to cool and things start to slow down, giving a chance to reflect on the day.

And sweet Orange essential oil is very uplifting and opens your heart to accept the goodness that life is offering.

A Nice Room Spray
I personally love this blend because it has that clean citrus smell with the sweetness of vanilla, plus rosemary is beneficial for respiration.
This recipe is for a 4 oz. spray bottle, but of course it can be doubled or halved as needed.
- Spray Bottle (4 oz)
- 12 drops of Vanilla essential oil
- 8 drops Orange essential oil
- 10 drops Rosemary essential oil
- 1 tablespoon of vodka or rubbing alcohol
- 6 tablespoons of water
- Optional – a bottle sized piece of one of your ingredients (I used Rosemary)
Put the vodka (or rubbing alcohol) into the bottle, and then add the essential oils. Shake well. Add the optional herb if desired. Then add the water. Shake well before each use.
