DIY Air Freshener

May 7, 2013

DIY Air Freshener

Sometimes, it’s not all about the make-up. Sometimes, dare I say, I walk around the house no makeup, hair on top of my head in pajamas and scrub my apartment. I’m a clean freak, and I’ve already shared with you how to spring clean your expired make-up. I have been in full on Spring cleaning mode && today I want to share with you one of my FAVORITE ways to make my apartment smell absolutely delicious while I am cleaning! This DIY air freshener is amazing and one of of my favorite ways to freshen the WHOLE place!

INGREDIENTS

  • Peels from 2 Oranges
  • Small pot of water 
  • A tbsp of essential oil 
DIRECTIONS
  • Throw the orange peels, essential oil into a pot full of water (enough to cover).
  • Simmer on the stove, for as long as you want.
I use ‘Fresh Cotton’ essential oil and that gives this the perfect clean citrus scent that fills up the apartment, I let it simmer all day and the scent stays for days. Amazing. I have also done this with lemon, lime and grapefruit peels but the oranges are my favorite and much stronger! Let me know if you try this DIY Air Freshener out.

    I love orange scent! My mother makes something similar to this, and it makes her house smell amazing. I’m sure yours did as well!

    OOOO! Awesome idea! I learned my favorite tip on making the house smell good when I was a bartender. The owners fiance told me she would trick him into thinking she’d been cleaning all day by adding a little bit of lemon scented lysol to a pot of water and simmering it all day. I don’t know if it actually works because I have this fear of inhaling chemical fumes so I never tried it, but I just thought it was so funny.

    You are adorable. And its funny cause I actually walk around most days without makeup too. 🙂 Im sure with my blog, people might assume Im always made up. But nope! Love this super easy DIY girl! Thanks for sharing. ♥

    Love this! And what a great smell for the kitchen to have. Pinning this.

    I’m going to do this! But I’ve got a question, after you’ve simmered it, do you just put it in a jar without cap and let it be?

  14. Angela Peters says

    May 10, 2013 at 7:02 pm

    I just throw it away after I let it simmer, I usually let it simmer all day on the stove 🙂

    My family would always do this during the holidays, but add some cinnamon sticks in as well. Live it!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣
⁣
In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣

While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣

So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
8️⃣ I recently became a plant mom and it escalated quickly⁣
⠀⁣
9️⃣ If I won the lottery I’d buy a tiny house in the middle of nowhere ⁣
⠀⁣
🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
