Get ready for air freshener with ingredients and methods at home:

Gather your supplies. This air freshener contains vinegar, so it also doubles up as a disinfectant. Here's a list of what you will need to make one:


  • 8 ounce (240 milliliter) glass spray bottle
  • 2 tablespoons vodka, rubbing alcohol, or witch hazel
  • ¾ cup (180 milliliters) distilled water
  • 15 to 20 drops essential oil blend
Methods of making air freshener:

• Pour 2 tablespoons of vodka, rubbing alcohol, or witch hazel into an 8 ounce (240 milliliter) spray bottle. If you cannot find a glass bottle, then use a high quality plastic one. Try to use glass however, as essential oils can eat through most types of plastic.

•  Add 15 to 20 drops of essential oil. You can use all one small, or experiment with different combinations. Here are a few ideas to get you started:[7]
To make a calming scent, use the following essential oils: 10 drops lavender and 5 to 8 drops chamomile.
To make an energizing scent, use the following essential oils: 5 drops wild orange, 5 drops lemon, 5 drops lime, and 5 drops grapefruit.
To made a fresh-smelling spray, use the following essential oils: 5 drops lavender, 5 drops lemon, and 5 drops rosemary.
To make a refreshing scent, use the following essential oils: 4 drops tea tree oil, 8 drops lemon, and 6 drops eucalyptus.

•  Close the spray bottle and shake it. The vodka, rubbing alcohol, or witch hazel will help dissolve the oil and make it easier to blend with the water. They will also help preserve your spray.

• Add ¾ cup (180 milliliters) of water to the bottle and shake it again. You might end up using a little bit less water, depending on the shape of your bottle and how much essential oil you used.

• Use your spray. Whenever you want to freshen up your room, shake the bottle and give the room three to four squirts. The oils will naturally separate over time, so you will need to shake the bottle each time before you use it.

How to try a perfume

How to try a perfume: • Try a fragrance quiz. Sometimes, visiting the perfume counter can be overwhelming. To help you narrow down what you might like, try taking an online fragrance-finder quiz. That way, you'll have a place to start when you get to the store. You can find a fragrance quiz by doing a simple search, but many major perfume websites also have them. You can also test out samples that come in magazines or ask people you know what their scent is if you like it. • Skip applying fragrances before you go shopping. When you go to the store, you want a blank canvas, so to speak. Skip putting on any perfume that morning so it won't compete. Also, skip other items you use with strong scents, such as lotions and body washes. • Spray it on a card. The first step to testing a perfume is spraying it on a card.

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils: • Put together a double boiler. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, then put a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. • Add the coconut oil and beeswax (if desired) into the bowl. The beeswax will help give the lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you end up using the beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. This will help it melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in either form, shave it using a cheese grater. • Heat the coconut oil and beeswax over medium-high heat until they melt. Stir them from time to time.
