You’ve probably heard of essential oils and the wonderful smell they can permeate throughout your home. But there’s more to it than just throwing a few drops of them into a diffuser.

There are many home essentials we use that have all sorts of toxic ingredients in them. Don’t get me wrong; I am guilty of purchasing items without even thinking about their ingredients. However, recently I’ve found a few easy ways to make non-toxic home essentials with my young living essential oils. Try out some of these non-toxic home essentials.
