    Talking burning essential oils

    i finally bought a new oil burner today and some melts from dusk (mind you there very strong) and im wanting to know:

    1. whats your favourite oil/melt to burn, and
    2. what oil/s best to burn to refresh the house? the house isnt that fresh over winter when the windows dont get opened as often, also needs to be baby friendly

    I love the smell of orange. I used to pop some drops of orange oil down the loo and it would smell soooo goood!

    I use a Lime, orange and lemon blend - so uplifting, I also use them in a spritz in summer.

    I do also love a drop of lavender on my vaccum filter.

    LOL on the theme of citrus: my favourite is mandarin I recently sent a bottle up to Mayaness for her birthday... it's my number 1 "feel happy" oil. Maya is a huge essential oil user... i hope she sees this thread!

    Geranium, Bergamot, Chamomile, Lavender, Black Pepper, Cardamon, Lily of the Valley (whilst it isn't a true essential oil)...

    I am definitely NOT a citrus fan, I'm more of a florally type person.

    Rose & lemon - divine!
    Geranium & lime - great uplifter
    Clove and orange - very festive and warm & welcoming in winter
