Natural Holiday Room Scents Made In The Crockpot

Fall and winter are the perfect time of year to make your own natural holiday room scents!

Cooler weather means spending more time indoors and holiday entertaining with friends and family. Your home will smell cozy, comforting, festive and absolutely delicious with these all natural holiday room scents made in the crockpot.

I’ll pass on the artificially scented candles and room sprays. While many of these do smell nice, they are filled with synthetic fragrances and toxic chemicals associated with hormone disruptions, allergic reactions, migraines, sinus pain, mental vagueness, dizziness, eye and skin irritations and more. What’s especially troubling is that these chemical toxins accumulate in human tissue. No, thank you. I’ll stick to my natural room scents that smell just as nice.

And these natural room scents couldn’t be more easy to make because they’re made in the crockpot! Oh how I love crockpots and this is just one more reason to love them. Just put your room scent ingredients in a mini crockpot (I love THIS one), fill it with water, turn it to low and you’ll have such a lovely holiday scent all day long.

Here’s 3 of my very favorite natural holiday room scents:

Ingredients

Holiday Spice

• Orange peels from one orange
• ¼ cup fresh cranberries
• 2 teaspoons whole cloves (Find HERE)
• 2 cinnamon sticks (Find HERE)

Warm Apple Pie

• Apple peels from 2 apples
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves

Orange Cinnamon Vanilla

• Orange peels from one orange
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or 4 drops of vanilla essential oil (Find HERE)

Instructions

1. Choose a scent and place the ingredients in a mini crockpot.
2. Fill the crockpot with water.
3. Turn to low and leave uncovered.
4. Enjoy!

Notes

If the water levels gets too low, just add more water!
You can reuse the room scents a few times – just keep the mixture stored in the fridge up to 4 days while not in use.
