Woodsy Winter Day Diffuser Blend

I don't know about you, but I've never been a big fan of Summertime. Of course I enjoyed not going to school for three months when I was a kid, but I do remember being so glad when those crisp Autumn days started showing up. It meant Winter wasn't far behind.

Walking in the woods was always a peaceful experience for me, even as a child. I've always loved the trees and since I was raised way out in the country in the middle of the deep Piney Woods, I suppose it's just natural that I love the woodsy scents so much.

Well, it's still the middle of a normal, hot Texas summer and I can only dream of Winter....and diffuse a little Winter feeling and atmosphere in my home.

If Summertime heat has you longing for a crisp, cool late Autumn or Winter day, try this blend in your diffuser. The Cypress and White Fir are such lovely woodsy scents and the Birch adds the crisp coolness to the blend with just a hint of the woodsy in there too.

I'm pretending it isn't 90+ degrees outside and there are no weeds to be pulled from the flower beds. So far it's working.....haven't thought about those weeds but two times today.

You could also add a few drops of Frankincense to this blend, it also has a wonderful pine smell. If you were unable to get the Birch, you might try Peppermint, Spearmint or Wintergreen in place of the Birch. It will be almost as good!

It's not Winter, but this sure helps makes the summer heat a bit more bearable until Winter finally rolls back around.

  2. Funny how where we live affects our weather preferences. Living in the Northwest, I get about all the winter I can stand, so I'm always wishing for sunny days! But I do love the scent of woods, so I will definitely try this one! :)

    1. I bet you do! We don't get much winter to speak of any more down here. It was different when I was a child. The pond would sometimes freeze over enough for us to walk on but it hasn't gotten cold enough in years for that to happen.
