DIY Room Spray Recipes Made With Essential Oils

DIY Room Spray Recipes Made With Essential Oils

Ditch the chemical laden , store bought room and linen sprays and make your own DIY Room spray with essential oils.

If you have been following me for any length of time, you likely know that several years ago I made a conscious decision to start replacing the toxic chemical laden products in my home with healthier and more natural versions.

In many cases , I make my own and while it is a part of my business selling ready made products, I believe everyone should have the option of making their own products as well.  Affordability can be an issue when it comes to buying healthier , more natural products but you can easily make your own with quality, budget friendly essential oils and some staple ingredients that you can buy off of Amazon.

These DIY Essential Oil Room Sprays, can also be used as a Linen Spray to freshen up your sheets, as well as add a antibacterial and antimicrobial benefit. ( Depending on the essential oils chosen.)

I will share with you some of my favorite essential oil recipes and essential oil blends that you can use to make your own diy linen spray.

Many people have been asking me to share my recipes over on TIKTOK and I have also heard that people need a more affordable option than the MLM Option that I have been using for years. And while I do believe they are some of the best quality oils, they are not within everyone’s budget . 

I have also heard you when you said you wanted a quality option that did not require you to be on a monthly autoship! I get it! 

Contrary to popular belief, there is more than 1 great essential oil company, but I definitely have my top 5 and will be doing some side by side and price comparisons very soon.

I recommend have a few different sized amber glass bottles. 4 oz bottles are great for travel and small gifts, 8 oz are great sizes for bathrooms and the 16 oz bottles are especially great for the Linen Spray , as you will find you go through more refreshing your furniture and linens.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

How much essential oil should I add to room spray?

My general room of thumb is 1/4  witch hazel to water ratio.  And a really easy way to measure for those who do not have a scale is to use measuring cups. There are 8 oz in a cup of liquid, so you would be able to make an 8 oz spray or two 4 oz bottles.  Double the recipe to fill your 16 oz bottle.

My recommendation for the essential oils is to use approximately 30 drops EO for a 4 oz room spray.

(Note: Witch hazel helps the oil and water combine and will help the scent linger for a longer period of time.)

I also add a drop or two  of liquid castile soap to act as an extra binder and emulsifier.

We use amber glass bottles for a few reasons, first to protect the essential oils from degrading through light , as well as to make sure that essential oils aren’t eating the plastic, there are no leached chemicals from plastic and glass bottles can be recycled over and over again!

 

Essential Oil Room Spray Recipe

  • 1/4 cup witch hazel
  • 3/4 cup distilled or Kangen water
  • drop or 2 plain Liquid Castile Soap
  • 40-60 drops essential oil ( based on personal preference)

DO NOT USE RUBBING ALCOHOL to make sprays!

Mix together all of your liquids and then add essential oils and stir with a non metal spoon or whisk. I will often just make a batch of plain room and linen spray base and add essential oils to the bottle and give it a little shake. This way I can make several different scents.  

This will fill two 4 oz bottles, so I would put 20 -30 drops of essential oil per bottle.

RECOMMENDED ESSENTIAL OILS & BLENDS

  • Mint Rain – Reminiscent of a fresh spring rain storm.  This  is a great choice for Linen Sprays!
  • Immunity Blend
  • Fearless – When we conquer our fears we can truly accomplish anything! Fearless is a blend to inspire confidence and overcome obstacles in your way.  
  • Dreamer – This is the perfect bedtime blend! My husband has suddenly started remember his dreams.
  • Courage – This is Revive’s version of Young Living Valor. 
  • Concentrate – Revive’s version of Doterra In Tune 
  • Calm – This oil is a MUST HAVE and is Revive’s version of Deterra Serenity.
  • Bright Future – Revive Version of Young Living Envision ( This is a favorite of mine from both companies! ) 
  • Apple Orchard – This is a great scent for the kitchen and makes a great house warming gift!
  • Allergy Relief – A blend of essential oils to aide in the relief of allergy symptoms. 
  • Vanilla Absolute – This is a great scent on it’s own but add it almost any other oil for a delicate, sweet lift.
  • Certified Peppermint and Winter Cocoa combined smell just like a Peppermint Patty!
  • Palo Santo , American Clary Sage & Kashmiri Lavender are all great scents for space cleansing. 
  • Ruby Red Grapefruit – Such an energizing scent! Great in the kitchen or office. I also like to spritz in garbage cans.
  • Iced Coffee – mix this with Vanilla to get a yummy iced vanilla coffee that will remind you of your favorite Starbucks drink! 

I honestly could go on and on because the variety of oils available at Revive Essential Oils truly is unmatched! You can save even further by choosing a starter kit .

You can also save by building your own kit and choosing the exact oils that you want.  USE CODE JENNIFERDAWN TO SAVE ON YOUR ENTIRE ORDER! 

With Revive you can order as little or as much as you want , no monthly autoships and they are less expensive because they are not having to pay on out tiered levels like an MLM. They use the same 3rd party testing that has been used by all of the bigger, more commonly known essential oil companies.  They also carry many of the other supplies you would need to make your own DIY Products. ( And several version of many well known higher priced blends) I have to take a minute to shout out their Version of Young Living’s Abundance Essential Oil.  

DIY ROOM SPRAY LABELS

Bring your DIY to a whole new level with professional looking labeling. Etsy has a number of different templates you can choose from and they are big time savers if you do not want to spend a ton of time designing a label.  These labels are a great idea especially if you plan on giving these out as gifts or selling. 

DIY Hibiscus Mint Lip Balm

DIY Hibiscus Mint Lip Balm

If you are anything like me #1 you just love to make things and #2 you are tired of chemical laden products. Make this DIY Hibiscus Mint Lip balm and have a little extra homemade goodness to add to your gift baskets.

I will often make an entire spa basket with lip balms, homemade bath bombs, Handcrafted candles an something else that has been made by me.

How To Make Lip Balm

This lip balm is super moisturizing and is so simple to make!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/4 CUP SHEA BUTTER OR COCOA BUTTER
  • 1/4 CUP COCONUT OIL
  • 1/4 CUP BEESWAX
  • 2 TSP JOJOBA, ALMOND OR VITAMIN E OIL
  • 30 DROPS PEPPERMINT OIL
  • DRIED HIBISCUS 

I had purchased this portable electric element / stove /hot plate …  because I thought it would be extremely handy during canning season and for my diy projects like this one, along with  candle making. I then take a stainless steel pouring pot and add a few inches of water in it to act like a double boiler. 

I filled a mason jar with everything but the peppermint essential oil  ( I recommend you always use a Good Quality essential oil … My 4 favorite essential oil companies are Young Living, Revive, Simply Earth and Fabulous Frannies)

I let this simmer on very low for a few hours to steep the hibiscus in to the oil. 

This high mucilage content of Hibiscus enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture and makes for a great addition to this DIY Lip Balm Recipe. Once the oils were completely melted and had been steeping for a few hours, I grabbed another clean glass container and strained the oil to remove the hibiscus. You may find  it easier to strain in to a small glass measuring cup if you do not have any pipettes on hand. Pipettes allow for more accuracy and less mess.

Fill each lip balm container to the top and allow to cool. Once cooled you will likely notice that there are holes in the middle, if you still have room at the top, you can take any left over balm and top it off , or simply use a heat tool on low to level out the tops. 

If you plan on giving these for gifts or selling, I recommend adding a nice label and some shrink wrap. 

If you are not very good with design, you can buy some editable templates on Etsy , like the one I purchased to make these.

There are so many different variations that you can make with this recipe. Instead of the hibiscus you can infuse other herbs, such as chamomile , butterfly pea flower or rose. 

Try a different flavor combo, like Sweet orange and vanilla for a tasty natural orange creamsicle flavor, or iced coffee  and Pumpkin Pie for a Natural Pumpkin Spice Latte ( Or make life even simpler by buying it pre -blended! . Blending Winter Cocoa and Roasted Coconut will give you a lovely Chocolate Macaroon Flavor. 

These oils are also great options on their own :

  • THROAT CHAKRA

It is important that you start from the Root Chakra, otherwise known as the Muladhara. It is responsible for your safety and basic needs, and is where the fight or flight response comes from.

The next oil will be sacral chakra essential oil blend. This chakra (Svadhisthana) chakra is responsible for your sexual & creative energy. It’s also linked to how you relate to your emotions as well as the emotions of others.

Next we move on to the essential oil for the solar plexus chakra ( Manipura) This chakra is where your personal power lies. It governs personality, ego, and identity, as well as personal freedom, choice, and authenticity and is also known as the Abundance Chakra.

The 4th chakra center is the Heart Chakra , Anahata, and is the center of love for yourself and others.

7 Chakra Balancing Essential Oil Blends

The 5th Chakra is the throat chakra (also known as Vishuddha)and is responsible for communication, self-expression, and the ability to speak your personal truth.

Chakra 6 is the the 3rd Eye Chakra ( refers to the ajna (or brow) chakra.) and is   linked to perception, awareness, and spiritual communication. 

The 7th Chakra is the Crown Chakra essential oil blend . This chakra also known as  sahasrāra chakra. This chakra acts as the individual’s center of spirit, enlightenment, wisdom, universal consciousness, and connection to higher self and to the divine. 

Print Your Own Labels

If you are wondering how you can print and design your own labels, I will be covering that in an upcoming blog post. However, if you are creating products to sell, I highly recommend getting professionally printed labels.

I actually prefer to have my labels professionally printed , unless I am in a real time crunch! However,  these labels typically only take a few days to ship out. The end result was a beautiful , high end product.

You can add relevant herbs  to these as well , just be mindful that it is not finely ground herbs because it will gunk up the roller ball. I will usually add a sprig of rosemary, lavender or a rose bud, for example.

I cannot wait to hear or see what you create! Comment on one of the pins for this post and let me know that you tried it!

Sustainable Living For Beginners – How To Make Money Selling Plants At Home

Sustainable Living For Beginners – How To Make Money Selling Plants At Home

One of the biggest challenges people are facing right are creating sustainable sources of food and income. We have made it our mission to teach others how to do both with our sustainable living tips for beginners.  Learn how we are making money selling plants right on our in town property. Hint: We created a DIY Roadside Produce Stand / Seedling Sale area.

Before the world began to face all of these challenges, we were already on the path to living a more sustainable lifestyle. Living with chronic illness has been a challenge of it’s own but I can tell you wholeheartedly that ditching chemical-laden food and products was a key component in turning it all around. The freedom that was created with our sustainable living business allowed me to work around my challenges and allowed us to create our little urban homestead.

Sustainable Living Business

We started our sustainable living home by building raised garden beds and this year decided to add an income source by starting extra plants and selling those on our little property. One of the initial issues we faced was where we were going to sell them that kept them separated from the rest of our gardens and property. We wanted to maintain social distancing due to my weakened immune system and also wanted to ensure some level of privacy.

DIY Roadside Produce Stand

One of the things we really needed was something that would be versatile. Starting with a seedling and plant sale stand and later becoming our easy DIY produce stand to sell any extra produce we harvested. We decided that for this particular project an open-style canopy tent would be the best because it would not block the view for any traffic as we live on a corner.

The tent was super easy to set up and literally was installed within minutes!  

Selling Plants At Markets

This has already got me thinking to the future on Branded Tents with Walls and other outdoor signage we can use. Banner Buzz has so many options available when it comes to branding your business. Right now they are offering 20% off of your first order! 

Whether you are selling plants at farmers markets, in your own yard, or selling at tradeshows , branding makes you stand out , get noticed and remembered. 

What I absolutely love is that this tent is durable and will provide a sheltered space for any other sales we hold. As creators, there are many things that we make and sell  throughout the year. At any given point we can use this canopy to sell candles, chakra sets, dried herbs, or wood products. Everything that is created is made with nature and a ton of intention on our little urban homestead.

We can also use this as a gazebo. Just add some outdoor furniture and we have a nice sheltered space to sit and enjoy our gardens. 

If you have a need for something to use for your farmers market stand or for trade shows, I highly recommend the quality products from Banner Buzz.
