This holiday season, consider skipping perfume or cologne when attending gatherings, as many people (myself included!) are sensitive to strong scents, which can trigger migraines and other unpleasant symptoms. Synthetic fragrances often contain harmful chemicals like phthalates and formaldehyde releasers that disrupt hormones.
Instead, choose natural body care products with light, plant-based scents or go fragrance-free. It’s a thoughtful way to maintain fresh air and ensure everyone’s comfort while staying free from toxins.
I totally understand that not everyone wants to completely abandon fragrance—sometimes, a delightful scent feels like a little luxury. That’s why I have a perfect solution for you! Try this quick and easy recipe for a lovely, toxin-free perfume that you can customize with your favorite scents. It’s simple, natural, and wonderfully enjoyable!

Hey Joy, how do you keep your home smelling fresh?
Thanks,

We use beeswax or scent-free candles and have a high-quality air purifier running 24/7. We also open the windows to bring in fresh air, keeping our home’s microbiome healthy.
I’m new to essential oils and DIY. I heard there’s a 5% dilution for 10ml, which is around 15 drops. How does the recipe above smell? Is it fruity? Do you have something that smells like coconut or similar?
