    DIY Essential Oil Recipes for Fall

    Published: Oct 19, 2017 · Last Updated: May 18, 2020 by Kyndra Holley

    The aromas of fall are classic favorites. Pumpkin spice, apple cinnamon, and chai are just a few of the best fall scents. When making homemade DIY products with essential oils all the toxins and chemicals you get for store-bought products are left out. All that's left are the clean natural smells.
