- Has a fresh, uplifting, citrus aroma
- Helps neutralize unwanted odors
- Cleansing and purifying
- Great addition to cleaning products & DIYs
- Removes sticky adhesives and residues from non-porous surfaces
- Can support the immune system when taken internally
- Has natural mucolytic properties
- Is high in limonene
- Contains antioxidants
- Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
- Gamma-terpinene - a potent antioxidant, Chinese medicine believes that this constituent may halt the advance of unwelcome microbes, reducing the risk of colds and 'flu-like symptoms.'
- Beta-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown beta-pinene to support the body through inflammation, to help calm the mind and to ease the body from the ‘fight or flight' response
- Frustration is closely tied to our expectations (of ourselves, of others, or of a situation or outcome). The other side, or opposite feeling, of Frustration is Accomplishment. Most of the time when we feel frustrated is usually because we fear that we are not going to accomplish what we want to do/ feel/ or have happen! Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils suggests rubbing a drop or two of Lemon along the ribs, near the sternum (above the bile ducts), and focus on moving beyond your limitations or expectations. If we store up enough frustration that does not get resolved it turns to chronic anger, which is highly associated with liver and gallbladder discomfort or problems. So it's good to let the frustration go!
- Lack, or the feeling of emptiness- when we don't feel "Complete". The other side of Lack is Full. This also makes this oil great for the Enneagram 7s and Enneagram 4s! Releasing Emotional Patterns suggests rubbing Lemon over the heart and chest while focusing on our completeness and all that we currently possess.
- Stuck, the opposite of feeling Transformed and moving forward. When we feel stuck we fear experiencing life. So rubbing Lemon on the sinuses can be helpful for branching out and having new experiences and getting un-stuck! Note: do not use Lemon (or other citrus oils) on skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight within two hours.

- Your diffuser!
- A plastic decorative cauldron or galvanized pumpkin
- Orange & Clove essential oils
Step 1 - Poke a hole on the side/ bottom of the cauldron/pumpkin if plastic for the diffuser's cord. If using metal, simply set the diffuser in and lift the cord out the back.
Step 2 - Fill your diffuser with water, add oils, turn on. Add spider web or tissue paper on top of the cauldron as desired!
- To make a diffuser bomb - multiply the quantity of each oil by 10-20 and place in a dropper bottle with a pretty label. (You can also reuse old YL bottles and add a bamboo dropper top.)
- To make a 10mL roller - have the total number of drops around 30-50 and fill with carrier of choice.
- To make a 2oz spray - multiply the drops by 3-5, add a splash of witch haze and top with water in a glass spray bottle and add a label.
- 2 drops Clove
- 3 drops Orange
- 3 drops Cinnamon Bark
- 2 drops Nutmeg
- 3 drops Stress Away
- 3 drops Clove
- 2 drops Nutmeg
- 2 drops Vanilla
- 3 drops Cinnamon Bark
- 1 drop Vetiver
- 3 drops Sage
- 3 drops Nutmeg
- 4 drops Idaho Balsam Fir (or other tree oil)
- 4 drops Vanilla
- 4 drops Cinnamon Bark
- 2 drops Lemon
- 1 drop Nutmeg
- Organic wool dryer balls
- 3 drops each per ball - Cardamom, Cinnamon Bark, Nutmeg, & Vanilla
- Plastic pumpkins - real work as well but don't last as long
- Potting soil
- Small succulents
- Natural materials - wood slices, Spanish moss, small pine cones, wood rings, etc. (find them at the craft store)
- Essential oils of choice
Step 1 - Simply cut the top off of your pumpkin and scoop out the inside if you're using a real one.
Step 2 - Fill about 3/4 with soil, then plant 2-3 small succulents into the top.
Step 3 - Add moss, wood slices and rings, small pinecones, anything fall and festive that will soak in essential oils! Add 3-4 drops of oil to the porous materials for a 'diffuser' or spritz with a DIY room spray (witch hazel + water + EOs) every few days!
NOTE - If you use a real pumpkin, this will only last about a month at most. Using a plastic or ceramic pumpkin will extend the life of the diffuser/succulents indefinitely.
- Large grapevine wreath
- Dried florals of choice - eucalyptus, pampas grass, chrysanthemums, wheat stalks, etc.
- Large craft pine cones
- Craft/floral wire
- Essential oils of choice
Step 1 - Lay your grapevine wreath on a table and gather all dried florals or other items you wish to add to the wreath. Arrange the florals around the wreath as desired, securing them with floral wire.
Step 2 - Once finished, drop essential oils onto pine cones or grapevine for a passive diffuser!
- Pinecones gathered from your neighborhood, or unscented ones from the craft store
- Ceramic, glass, or stainless bowl
- Essential oils of choice
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 200°. Line an old baking sheet with aluminum foil and place pinecones on baking sheet. Bake pinecones for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Step 2 - Add pinecones to the bowl, then add essential oils of your choice about 30 total drops. Seal the bowl & shake so that the oils soak into the pinecones. Leave the bowl in a cool dark place for at least one week. The longer you can leave the bowl covered the better your pinecones will be scented.
Step 3 - Now they are ready to be displayed on your favorite tray!
- Pine cones in various sizes
- Yarn of desired color (or even dryer lint!)
- Essential oils
Step 1 - Gather your pine cones and spray with diluted Thieves Cleaner, then let sit overnight to dry.
Step 2 - Once dry, wrap the yarn around the pine cones as desired. You can wrap all of it in the center or cover the whole thing - it's up to you! Just weave the yarn through the individual ‘leaves' of the pine cone.
Step 3 - Drop a few drops of Cinnamon Bark essential oil (or your other favorite fall scents) onto the yarn and let it sit overnight. Store then next to the fireplace, and add 2-3 to the wood when starting a fire!

Step 1 - Explore around your yard and gather your leaves! Cut out a piece of air dry clay, then roll it out about 1/2 inch thick, making sure your leaf will fit fully onto the clay.

Step 3 - Remove the leaf from the clay, and cut around the outline with a knife (have adults do this part), then remove the excess air dry clay from around your imprint. Go around the perimeter of the leaf and gently press the sides up and in to create a small edge If adding oils, do so now.
Step 4 - Allow the clay to air dry and harden. We set ours on a baking rack so that both sides were exposed to air. After 24 hours they had hardened and were ready to paint!
Step 5 - Paint! Once the paint is dry, cover with a coat of Modge Podge gloss, then let that dry for 24 hours. After the coating is dry, have your children sign the back and write the year.
