The Joy of Diffusing ~ CW Favorite Blends

What's so Great About Diffusing Essential Oils??

The fragrance of our home is unique.  It's a fingerprint of all who live there, that speaks volumes about it's inhabitants!   I bet it's safe to say that most of us love to walk into a home that smells of fresh laundry or baked bread, hot chocolate chip cookies or coffee brewing.  These aromas are relax and comfort us, they induce a physical reaction and create memories that stay with us for a lifetime.  Fragrance is no small matter!

Unlike chemicals, essential oils don't remain in the body.  They leave no toxins behind.  Essential oils make sense as air purifiers and refreshers because they cleanse the air by altering the structure of the molecules creating the smells.  Synthetic room scents only mask odors. 

The science of fragrance is real.  When we understand that synthetic scents fill our homes and our bodies with chlorofluorocarbons and other chemicals we can see the value of essential oils even more clearly.  A home's signature scent should never be the cause of migraines, allergies and ozone depletion.    

In December 2012, Camp Wander and Friends took on the "small" (of large proportion) project of putting together a group order for my favorite diffuser, The Whisper (as seen above on left).  

We were each able to save almost $30 by placing a group order!

Once again, a great big thanks goes to Diane for orchestrating the undertaking!
