It is officially fall...
My décor is out, and things are starting to feel cozy in our home. A big part of bringing those warm fall feelings into your home, are the aromas that greet you at the door and linger all day long! Over the years, it seems the first aroma that comes to mind when fall hits is “Pumpkin Spice”. Whether it be in your drink, lotion, or hand soap, we always want that sweet spice.
I was delighted to discover all the fall essential oils several months after I started making healthy product swaps in my home. When I can make my home smell like autumn AND keep the air in my home healthy for my family, it is a win.
The perfect Pumpkin Spice essential oil blend includes Orange, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Nutmeg, and Ginger. You can add them to your fall mixtures and diffusers one oil at a time, OR you can choose to make a large batch of Pumpkin Spice blend using the above oils. Either way, this bundle of oils is the perfect way to create all things fall. We are talking room sprays, body mist, hand soap, cleaners, etc.
To make a 15 mL batch of your Pumpkin Spice blend, you will want to use an empty essential oil bottle or grab a 15 mL glass dropper bottle from Amazon.
Add the following amounts to the bottle:
100 drops of Orange
100 drops of Cinnamon Bark ( about 1 5mL bottle)
30 drops of Clove
30 drops of Nutmeg
30 drops of Ginger
This Pumpkin Spice blend will be what you add to your diffuser, sugar scrubs, room sprays, cleaners, etc.
Below, you can find my new fall hand soap recipe using this blend!

Happy fall!
We are transitioning to the fall season and craving all the fall aromas, colors, and decorations that are going to make our home feel warm, festive, and cozy!
Back in the day, this mom would make a trip to the mall to stock up on all the fall candles, plug-ins, and hand soaps.
Here we are in 2022, and after a PCOS diagnosis in my late twenties, I know better. I know that what I am bringing into my home matters. I know that the environment I create for my family WILL impact their health. The transition to healthy products has been slow but I have found ways to make these swaps sustainable, budget-friendly, AND event better than my old mall favorites.
This is the time of year that I am trying to ramp up our immune system so the less toxin exposure the better! Luckily, I control this in our home.
