Yes, I am THAT person who sees something pretty in a public restroom and takes a picture of it!

That’s what happened last week when I was out to lunch, I saw this reed diffuser and thought it would be so simple to make and would make a great centerpiece on a table.

What you will need:

* A glass container with a narrow opening (make sure it’s glass, essential oils can break down plastic)
* 5 Reed Sticks (If you’re having trouble finding these in local craft stores, search for Reed Replacement sticks on Amazon. You can find some great priced ones on their)
* Carrier Oil- a thinner oil like Sweet Almond Oil will work, or you can do a mix of water and vodka)
* Essential Oil of your choice (I buy all of mine form Young Living. You can find out more about their oils HERE)

Directions:
* Pour 1/4 carrier oil into container (if using water, vodka mixture do-1/4 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of vodka. * Note measurements for carrier oil and water,vodka mixture will change depending on our big or small your container is)
* Add 15-20 drops of essential oils
* Place reed sticks in container. The oil will travel up the sticks, but to speed up the process you can flip the sticks after the bottoms are saturated.
* Enjoy!

Some of my favorite oils for diffusing:
– Purification and any Citrus Oil
– Joy
– Lemon, Lavender and Peppermint
– Lemon and Thieves
– Joy and Citrus Fresh
– Bergamont (my new favorite!)
– Bergamont and any Citrus Oil (great summer combination)
– Wintergreen
– Peppermint (this is my go to for cold or rainy days)
– Idaho Balsam Fir
