A DIY Trick That Will Make Your Home Smell Just Like Fall

Do you know how certain smells bring back memories? This easy DIY recipe totally brings me back to me childhood when it was time for apple pie and my all-time favorite orange pound cake. Cinnamon and oranges are perfect fall scents that remind me of falling leaves, cool breezes, and family gatherings. I live in Miami now, so I really do not get to experience the fall weather. But this DIY idea makes my home feel like fall, and transports me to those precious memories.

Indeed, research shows that odors are especially effective as reminders of past experience, much more so than cues from other senses, such as sights or sounds. A particular smell can trigger a long-forgotten event or experience. Smells are also highly emotive (SOURCE).

The point here is that there is just something magical in smells. Think about all the different smells that can evoke all sorts of feelings. Just like when we are cooking our favorite dishes. Check out my Comfort Food Recipes if you also want to taste your memories and feed your soul.

Artificial Scents Are Not The Best Choice

You are probably seeing lots of fall scented candles in stores lately, but the truth is most of them are made of petroleum-based paraffin with artificial scents. Air fresheners are no better. I am very sensitive to fragrances and do not tolerate them. Strong perfumes or any other artificial scents make me sneeze right away.

There are lots of very popular scented products out there, but be careful because they contain an array of hazardous substances which may compromise your health. This is why making your own all-natural scents is really the best option.

There is nothing better than a natural scent for your home, one that is free of chemicals. Chemical sprays, plug-ins and scented candles contain ingredients that have been linked with a raised risk of asthma in adults and children.
