I love exploring essential oil blends.
I have popped some of my favourite blends below.
To Make
Recycle your old diffuser jars and remove any stickers using the heat from your hair dryer. Gently heat and then the sticker will easily lift off.

If you have a nut allergy use safflower

Give it a stir and pop in your reeds
