Essential Oil Diffuser Blends for the Holidays

December 5, 2016

The weather is getting chilly, and the snow is falling in many parts of the country.  Although it’s still technically fall, it feels like winter.  I love this time of year, and I especially love trying new essential oil diffuser blends to get in the Chrismas spirit.  I have a diffuser running in my house most hours of the day, which gives me plenty of opportunity to experiment with different blends to see what I really enjoy.  And of course, what is being diffused changes for the seasons.  In spring and summer I love to diffuse resh scented oils like lemongrass and citrus oils, like lemon, grapefruit and lime.  In fall I love cedarwood, orange, and all the spicy oils like cinnamon bark, nutmeg, ginger and clove.  And in the winter it’s all about the smell of fresh pine trees, Christmas, more spice (hello holiday baking!) and getting in the holiday spirit.

These blends are some of my favorites.  And the favorites of many others.  From the moment I wake up and turn on my diffuser (*affiliate link), I’m instantly ready to get the holiday party started, or to relax and unwind while sitting in front of the fire with a glass of wine.  It all depends on the blend.  But no matter which blend you choose, you’ll enjoy breathing in the heavenly smells of a non-toxic holiday scent.

Oh Christmas tree: This is a blend that smells amazing to diffuse, but you could also stick both oils on a cotton ball and stick it in your artificial tree.  Balsam Fir also has a calming effect.  And as my girl would say, “Mama, can you make our house smell like a spicy tree?”  Why yes, yes I can, with this combination of oils. 
2 drops Christmas Spirit
4 drops Idaho Balsam Fir

Oh Holy Night: Both Frankincense and Myrrh date back to biblical times (yes, biblical times people….essential oils are not something new).  After all, these oils were two of the gifts that the Wise Men brought to the baby Jesus at his birth.  Both oils are used for relaxation and have grounding properties that help bring a sense of spirituality.  (*Both are also amazing to use as part of a healthy skin care routine.) 
4 drops Frankincense
2 drops Myrrh

We Wish You A Merry Christmas: Christmas Spirit is one of my favorite oils to use during the holidays.  It has such a complex aroma that it’s great to diffuse on it’s own to really get you in the Christmas Spirit (see what I did there. #imsopunny).    
6 drops Christmas Spirit

Santa Baby: Oh Thieves how I love thee.  Top 3 oils on my list, for so many reasons that would take an entirely separate post to explain.  Thieves has a spicy aroma, and when combined with orange it adds a smooth, spicy scent to your home.  And not only does it smell amazing, it helps remove odors from the air.  Whenever anyone in our house is feeling sub-par, out comes the Thieves and it is diffused day and night.    
3 drops Thieves
3 drops Orange

I’ll Be Home For Christmas: This is what I have in my diffuser right now.  It smells a-mazing!  Spicy and sweet and complex, but still all holiday. 
3 drops Christmas Spirit
2 drops Thieves
3 drops Orange
1 drop Nutmeg (P.S. you can substitute Nutmeg Vitality for the spice in your baked goods!)
1 drop Cinnamon Bark 

Baby It’s Cold Outside: Spicy and evergreen scents combine to make a perfect winter’s day aroma. The Black Spruce brings a freshness to the spice of the Christmas Spirit and cinnamon.  And it works so well!  This blend reminds me of pre-artificial tree days, when we’d cut our own tree down.  We’d haul it home, cut a few limbs off and the house would smell like the forest.  We’d have spiced cider cooking in a pot with cinnamon sticks and the combination would smell like holiday heaven. 
3 drops Christmas Spirit
2 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce
1 drop Cinnamon Bark

I think I’ve had at least 3 or 4 of these combinations going in my diffuser over the last week.  And Thieves is an oil that I diffuse year round for all the health benefits it provides.  The holidays are in full swing in our house and thanks to these holiday essential oil diffuser blends our house smells like it too.  

What is your favorite holiday scent?

    I have Christmas Spirit, and I’ve been trying to get Idaho Balsam Fir, but every time I think of it, and get on to look it’s not available. Bad timing on my part. Thanks for all the blend ideas. I’ll be saving this post!

    I have Christmas Spirit and Balsam Fir going every night! I just discovered how lovely Christmas Spirit and Frankincense are together too – you should try it!

    I’ve been doing Oh Christmas Tree for a while! Love it! I need to try the others. I also have a list from ORD that I need to try. Have you seen that one?

    This sounds amazing! I absolutely loved my diffuser whilst in India, thank you so much for converting me 🙂 I picked up a few EOs in India and they had some unique-to-India scents too! Will stop by the store to pick up some festive ones! x

    When I diffused Christmas Spirit during my girls’ weekend, I swear I got drunk off the Christmas spirit, for real! What a mood booster.

  • “A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.” 💑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are so flawed. Both of us. We get on each other’s nerves. We pick at little things. We even disagree on big things sometimes. But even when I’m exhausted and frustrated, there’s no one I’d rather wake up next to than this guy. We spend 24 hours a day, every day together, and I still get sad when he has to travel for work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are truly a team and work each day to build an amazing life and future for our family. It’s a crazy journey, and one I wouldn’t change for anything. Marriage is work y’all, but so worth it. ❤️
  • A few weeks ago my girl worked out with me and it was amazing. 💪🏼 She wanted to lift and learn the machines and we had the best time. I love that she enjoys exercise. ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On another note, we leave Palm Springs for Seattle on Saturday and I am so looking forward to spending time with friends and family this holiday season. 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you travel for the holidays? 🎄
  • {#ad} Finding ways to stay fit in the road has been one of my missions the last 6 months. Add in kids constantly needing your attention and my workouts sometimes get cut short. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my new favorite things to use is Jazzercise’s On Demand program! 😍 All the conveniences of fun Jazzercise classes wherever you want to be! Plus they have a variety of class durations you accommodate your busy schedule. 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • Not gonna lie, Joshua Tree National Park was pretty damn awesome. Dry AF, but those trees are 😍.
  • Typical morning with these three. 🥰 Mornings are my absolute favorite time with them. My second favorite is bedtime. #justkiddingsortof ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our mornings are much slower now that we homeschool. It’s not at all easy. It’s actually harder than I imagined it would be. But I love that we can go at our own pace, take breaks during the day for adventures, and use all sorts of awesome tools for learning. We can change things when we want and I can teach to my child’s likes and abilities. I always thought I would send them back to school when our travels are over, but now I’m not so sure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever considered homeschooling, or do you? What are your thoughts on the subject?
  • Throwback to our Hawaii trip. We talked about spending a month there this winter. I wouldn’t be mad at that idea. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you a lover of the heat or colder weather? I usually prefer the colder temps, because they mean snow. But we have spent a lot of time in the mountains so I’m soaking up all the time we’re getting in Palm Springs.
  • My body has been greatly confused by the 90 degrees in November weather. 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This guy y’all. 🥰 He is spicy and has a newfound obsession with Star Wars. He is snuggly for an hour in the morning, and independent the rest of the day. I never knew a child could be as busy as he is.  He’s definitely testing boundaries these days, but when he does something wrong he says “I’m sorry” in the sweetest voice and damn it is hard to stay mad at that. ❤️
  • I almost wasn’t going to post this photo for 2 reasons. 
1️⃣ Because it’s not a great picture. 
2️⃣ Because you can see my cellulite when you zoom in. But I decided to share for that exact reason. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We all struggle with insecurities. Even at the best shape of my life I still had things that bothered me about my body. But y’all, these insecurities do not define us! They don’t make us any less of a wife, mom, sister, daughter, or friend. People love you because you are kind and loving and funny and a good person! No one gives a shit about the cellulite on your thighs except you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We need to stop defining our worth based on how we look. We are all different and those differences make this world such an amazing and unique place.
