Little compares to a freshly scented apartment home. However, if you rely upon candles to achieve those sought-after smells, you might find yourself burning through countless jars of candles scented with artificial aromas and created with harmful wax ingredients. Essential oils provide a cleaner, more long-lasting alternative. Easily diffuse their potent scent when you try these unique diffuser recipes.
