Let’s talk about one more beyond-the-bar way to use vodka.

Vodka makes a fantastic base for a homemade air and linen freshener spray. Vodka acts like an emulsifier for fragrant essential oils, as well as offers some disinfecting properties. Vodka also dries quickly, which makes it perfect for spraying linens and surfaces.

Speaking of the holidays, Live Simply is going to be quiet over the next week. The kids are out of school, so we’re planning to enjoy the next few days with them: roasting marshmallows, making homemade hot chocolate, snuggling on the couch until 11am, and enjoying a house that smells “like the holidays” (thanks to a homemade air freshener).

Ingredient Notes

According to the National Association For Holistic Aromatherapy, the following formula is suitable for room sprays: 10-15 total drops of essential oils (total) per ounce of water. Based on this, the blends represented above may be increased if you’d like a stronger scent. As always, do your own research with essential oils, since some essential oils may not be suitable to use around children or pregnant women.

If you don’t want to make a room spray, the scent blends listed above also work very well in a diffuser. A diffuser works well for covering an entire room with natural fragrance versus just a small spritz of spray in the air.

In case you’re curious ;), I love the Vanilla Chai scent blend.
