One of my favorite things about the Fall is the warm spicy smells: pumpkin, spice, and pretty much everything spicy.  Essential oils are a great way to add warm, inviting and natural fragrances to your home this season. Essential oils not only create amazingly aromatic fragrances, but they can also naturally build and protect your immune system. In the last few years, I’ve come to love essential oils for their therapeutic properties and also for diffusing in my home and making it smell wonderful.
