The weather here has been beautiful! We've had just enough rain to bring in cooler temps and green up the grass some but not so much that it feels super humid or wet outside.
This is our favorite time of year. We turn off the air and open all the doors and windows, and try to have most meals outside. In addition to the clothes I already dry outside, I also like to pull out all the blankets and clothes from the closets to air on the line. It helps to keep them smelling fresh and feeling crisp :)
I've started experimenting with new scents for candles to welcome in the season too! For the summer I used orange, lemon, lemongrass, lime oil etc for a light summer scent. But now I'm looking for warmer scents like pumpkin or evergreen. The problem is that there's not essential oils for that and I want to avoid artificial scents. My latest attempt was to put pumpkin spice in the candle. It smelled wonderful while I was making it and I was so excited to burn it the next day. When I got up I was disappointed to see that all the spice settled to the bottom during the cooling process and no longer smells nice :( So, if you have any ideas on how to achieve those fall scents without artificial fragrance please let me know.
