You know already that I love using essential oils to create my own lovely scented things – from beauty products to candles, soap and fragrance diffusers, I always find a use for my little growing stash of various scents. I’m not huge fan of breathing in a lot of chemicals and additives in commercial fragrances (although I do admit to succumbing from time to time, I’m only human) but I do prefer to use natural fragrances whenever I can.

My latest essential oil venture was off the back of a Facebook conversation with a fellow blogger, Molly (from Molly and the Princess – go have a visit!), where she was talking about making her own pine-scented Christmas room spray which she sprays right on the tree to enhance the scent! Sparked by the idea, I decided to create my own and it’s probably the one of easiest ones I’ve made yet.

Suprise your family and friends with a homemade gift this year! Follow my simple steps and find out how to make my Christmas room spray with essential oils.

The smells of Christmas have the ability to evoke all the spirits of Christmas past – those nostalgic scents are always a welcome fragrance and so for this, I combined three of my favourites – cinnamon, orange and clove. Lightly spray in the air, on fabrics or curtains* for a lovely instant winter scent. This is also a great alternative if you don’t want to leave burning candles in the house or leave a stove-top potpourri on all day.

* Before using on fabrics, test it first in a discrete area. Because alcohol can irritate the lungs, avoid spraying immediately near children, pets or people with breathing difficulties. Stay safe, peeps.

Now as I was making this, I realised how lovely these would be as home made gifts. A bottle of essential oil is not terribly expensive (around a fiver) and as you don’t need loads, you can easily make quite a few room sprays (as well as other things) with a few bottles. I decided to get a bit fancy and also created my own labels which I’m making available for you to download (see below) and create your own too. See how easy Christmas is going to be??

I decided to use a glass bottle for mine to give it a bit of a luxury feel and so that I could leave it out on display. If you are really looking to make this a budget option, you can easily use a plastic bottle instead. The only recommendation is an amber colour, simply because light can destroy the oils and amber bottles will mean it lasts much longer.

Cinnamon, Orange and Clove Essential Oil Natural Room Spray

Here’s what you’ll need…

What you'll need to make my DIY Christmas room spray with essential oils

I linked to the ones I used but obviously, you can choose from any brand you wish.

1 100ml (3.5 fl oz) amber glass spray bottle *

10 drops Cinnamon Leaf Essential Oil *

60 drops Orange Essential Oil *

20 drops Clove Bud Essential Oil *

~30 ml (~1 oz) clear vodka *
(or substitute isopropyl/rubbing alcohol)

water (distilled or filtered works best but you can use tap as well)

Label (download here and print – opens in new window)

1 sheet of sticker paper ~or~ normal paper and double sided tape

*denotes afilliliate link – you don’t pay any more but you’ll be contributing a few pennies to Swoon Worthy! Win-win!

The reason you want to include the alcohol is because oil and water don’t mix very well as we all learned when we were 8 years old. However, the alcohol acts as an emulsifier and allows them to stay together more easily.

Here’s how it’s done…

Pour your vodka into the bottle first, then add the essential oils.

Screw the cap on and shake well and leave for 1 – 2 hours (this is important to ensure the oils will bind with the alcohol).

Follow my easy steps to find out how to make your own Christmas room spray with essential oils.

Once it’s blended, then add the water to fill up the bottle. Shake again to fully mix.

For the labels, I created three different ones – the one you see on my own bottle for this recipe, one for gift giving if you intend to mix a different fragrance at Christmas (consider pine, nutmeg, ginger or vanilla as other Christmassy scents) and a third that’s just generic that you can use any time!

You can download the labels here! (opens in new window)

Simply print on sticker paper and cut around whichever label you want to use. You can also print them on normal or heavier stock paper and affix with double sided tape as I’ve done here.

Follow my step-by-step instructions to create your own Christmas room spray

And that’s it! The smell of Christmas in a bottle, perfect for gift giving or a hostess gift!

I admit, I’ve already been spraying this with reckless abandon this week and it’s really got me feeling Christmassy!

I’m planning on making a few of these to give out together with some handmade candles to friends and family. I was considering doing another post with the candles that have a similar style of label that you can download to make a little set to give away – would you like to see that? If so, let me know in the comments! If not, that’s fine, just checking – ha!

Do you make any homemade gifts at Christmas? Do you reckon you might try a Christmas room spray out?

Ad (Press Sample) There are few kitchen products that are considered absolute classics but there is one that I have lusted after for YEARS and that is the utterly iconic @lecreusetuk large casserole pot. 🀩

For nearly a century, Le Creuset has been trusted for its superior performance, lasting quality and iconic design and the enamelled cast iron allows incredible versatility - not only can you use it with just about any heat source (from induction, glass, electric etc), you can also do everything from stir-fry to slow cooking to baking a cake in it and more. 

So, imagine my delight when Le Creuset got in touch to ask if I'd like to shoot their brand new colourway πŸ‘ PΓͺche πŸ‘ in my kitchen. I mean, there couldn't be a more perfect colour match with that juicy coral shade which if you've followed my account for any length of time, you'll know is one of my all-time favourites (not to mention that beautiful soft gold knob! 😍). The matching petite casserole dish and mugs are the perfect companions but you could easily mix and match this colourway with Le Creuset's other designs (Might I suggest the Sea Salt, a soft blue-green which would be gorgeous with PΓͺche). This new juicy summer shade is currently available exclusively at Le Creuset Official. I'd love to know which colourway is your favourite in the range?

Just wanted to introduce my latest plant baby in my dining room πŸͺ΄

It's from @botanique_shrewsbury and it's a Peparomia (I am probably pronouncing it wrong, I keep wanting to say
GUEST BEDROOM REVEAL 🌟

I decided on a whim, 2 weeks before we were expecting visiting family, that our guest bedroom was in desperate need of a refresh.

Well there's nothing like an impending deadline to light a πŸ”₯ under my πŸ‘ and I managed to clear out the clutter, repaint the woodwork, ceilings and walls and hang wallpaper as well as restyle the room in one week πŸ˜… (Meisha was zero help 😼)

I'm calling it Boho Vintage Victorian Grandma πŸ˜†

This wasn't sponsored in any way but the wallpaper and bedding is from @lauraashleyuk and the paint is @earthbornpaints Peach Baby - everything else I already had!

What do you think of the new look? ❀️

πŸ”₯JOIN US ROUND THE FIRE PIT! πŸ”₯

ad | One of my favorite things to do in summer is sit around the fire pit in the evenings with a cold beer 🍻 There's just something incredibly relaxing watching those flames and embers crackle, warming yourself up and taking the edge off falling temperatures as the sun sets!

Thanks to @homefireuk they've made the whole process incredibly easy and enjoyable with their Handy Firepit Bundle which include 2 bags of kindling, 2 bags of natural firestarters and 3 large bags of kiln-dried logs πŸͺ΅ for a really great price! 

No more standing around waiting for things to light properly or billowing smoke from wet wood, everything burns beautifully! ☺️ We literally sat around this for hours as the logs last so long, long after the sun set, just chatting and enjoying ourselves! πŸ₯°πŸ»πŸ”₯

Do you love a good firepit in the summer?

Ad 🩷 Before and after Deck makeover! 🩷

This little decked patio was looking worse for wear after a wet winter but @frenchicpaint came to the rescue with their beautiful Dusty Blush Alfresco Paint, perfect for all your outdoor projects!

The deck has been a few colours over the past few years but this is definitely the most fun and gives the whole space such a tropical vibe - even in Shrewsbury! 🏝️ πŸ¦©πŸΉπŸ˜„

The paint has incredible coverage and was so nice to use - I loved the tools they provided too, especially the oval brush which got into all the nooks and crannies easily!

Let me know what you think of the new colour!

So on a whim I decided to paint the bedroom pink yesterday πŸ˜…πŸ©·

This room has been neglected for so long as I've wanted to fully redecorate for about 3 years now but there are always other bigger priorities or a lack of time/energy/money so I keep putting it off πŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒπŸ™ƒ (tell me I'm not the only one) but happily this didn't cost a penny as I used what I already had although it did take me the best part of a day!

I went through my paint stash and found that I had extra @coatpaints Percy from when I did the living room early last year -- well I'm not one to let something this good go to waste (honestly this paint is absolutely wonderful to work with and has amazing coverage) and my goodness it's just so pretty in here πŸ₯° I also moved my pink curtains from my office into here and the whole room just glows!

I might actually be able to live with the mural a little longer until the room gets the attention it deserves! Let me know if you like the change β™₯️

*For those who are wondering, it used to be white walls and I had grey curtains! πŸ˜…

Finally managed to get the gallery wall completed in our hallway!

I couldn't have been happier with @violajayphotography capturing our little intimate wedding in October and knew as soon as I saw the photos I had to print them for our home! I admit, I've never been one to hang photos but it's probably because all we ever had after 14 years together was selfies πŸ˜‚πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ I'm so pleased we finally have some lovely shots of us together πŸ₯°
