Time for Pumpkin Spice

Can you believe it is the first of September already! The kids are back at school. Routines are changing from lazy summer routines to busy fall ones. The weather is changing. Days are getting shorter. Stores are already selling pumpkins … and that means it is just about time for Pumpkin Spice!

Diffuser Recipe

5 drops cinnamon

1 drop clove

1 drop nutmeg

Cardamom, Ginger, and Orange are also great fall scents. They can be added together for an incredibly delightful room spray as well.

 

Room Spray Recipe

8 ounces of distilled water

15 drops of cinnamon

10 drops nutmeg

10 drops ginger

10 drops clove

5 drops cardamom

Mix above in a spray bottle. Shake well before each use.

 

Like any recipe, play with it and make it yours. The Room Spray Recipe originally called for orange as well. I do not necessarily like the smell of oranges so I omit it in my recipes.

 

Coffee & Lattes

If your essential oils are food grade, you can also add a couple drops to your coffee. This is a great addition since Starbucks is not serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes until 8 September.
