𝙊𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 🍊🌲

this is by far my favorite holiday DIY and friends, I'm telling you, it's perfection! so easy to do, looks super cute, smells amazing + it also makes a great holiday or home warming gift.

It takes a little time to dry the oranges, but you can use them to either decorate your Christmas tree + gift wrappings, make a garland or even a beautiful potpourri.

we have already done our orange garlands for the season, but today we'll dry some more to use on gifts this year to fancy them up! I love that because it gives kids some ownership over our gifting + decor, and they keep little hands busy for a time.  

I've received oodles of questions about how I go about drying my oranges, so here is what I do.

Step 1◗ Slice oranges to 1/4 inch thick rings.  Place on a broiler pan. Cook in the oven at 200° F (100° C) for 4 hours. Flip the oranges over once an hour.

Step 2◗ Once dried, sprinkle the oranges with a couple drops of essential oils -i choose citrus + spice aromas such as lemon, cinnamon bark, clove, nutmeg + ginger.

I wish I could describe to you just how delicious this smells, or better yet, give you a whiff through the screen. but you’ll just have to trust me 👌🏼🌲🍊

candles ◗ they'd been my beloved companion for more than 15 years. i can remember myself buying scented candles since forever, getting excited about the new "fresh linen" scent I scored at the local market.

there's a SAD truth about candles though that needs to be brought to our attention. not all candles are made the same. unfortunately, big majority of them are highly toxic, harming both the environment, as well as our bodies.

most scented candles are made of paraffin wax, which is derived from petroleum -- used as car fuel 😨 -- studies have found that paraffin wax candles give off harmful fumes – the black stuff you see from flickering flames – these particles find their way into the deepest depth of the lungs, linked to lung cancer and asthma. add chemical fragrance to the mix, and tell me how you feel about it.

why then do they still make them this way? because paraffin is cheaper than other types of wax and it helps to create a stronger smelling fragrance than natural waxes. cause have you ever found a plant called "salted caramel" or "creme brulee"?? YUCK ❗

i still love my candles but now I know. I'm being extra careful with what I bring into our home. never again scented candles. beeswax candles are an option, if you're not a vegan. Essential oils are THE option if you want your home to naturally smell like your own personal heaven 🌿🌺 inhaling nature's nectar I call it.
