. Having your home smell like autumn is a must and it is quite easy to pull this off. Bringing in the apple-cinnamon-and-nutmeg vibe into your home can be done in a number of ways. One is to make your own autumn citrus and spice room spray. To make this you’ll need some water and a combination of essential oils (sweet orange, clove bud, and cinnamon). Mix the oils together with the water, shake well and you’re good to go.
Aside from the autumn spray, you can also make your own beeswax and coconut spice candles. Get some jars, a wick, a cup of beeswax, a cup of coconut oil and some spices. Place the wicks in the jars by using metal wick holders or simply taping them at the bottom of the jars. Be sure to take the tops of the wicks and wrap them around an old pencil in the centers of jars. Melt the beeswax, coconut oil and spices together in a double boiler. Once fully melted, put the mixture in the jars with the wicks you first set up. Let the wax sit and harden. It won’t be long before you’re ready to spruce up your home with the scents of autumn!
