My current obsession is my essential oil diffuser. It is a great alternative to candles and there are so many different scents you can create. You can buy a diffuser on Amazon and the prices range from $15-$50. I purchased my diffuser for $21 (on sale of course) and it has been my best Amazon purchase by far! Essential oils can be expensive but I ordered a pack of 18 for $23 which is a steal. If you are looking to go all out with the essential oils I definitely recommend getting a variety so you can try different combinations. I get most of my recipes from Pinterest so here is a list of the best ones I have found!

We all need to take a chill pill every once and a while. After a stressful day, nothing is better than putting your feet up and relaxing. This is my favorite scent for when I need to unwind.
