Natural Tips to Smell Good in Home

Most of the people do so with synthetic air fresheners and scents. It is must be noted that these can be harsh to your health by causing allergies and asthma like conditions. However, there are other natural alternatives to these synthetic ones which are not only healthy but can refresh the whole atmosphere by their perfumes. So, here are some hacks to make your own natural air fresheners.

Citrus Candles
The best way to use an orange or lime peel is to use as a candle. A candle, with its own perfume, can elevates your mood and add tranquility to the surroundings of your home. It is quite easy to make, you just need a citrus fruit of your choice, olive oil and a knife. Cut the citrus into two equal halves and remove its flesh completely but leaving the mid stem. You will find two bowls of citrus peels then. Pour some oil in these bowls and on the stem too. Let it soak for 30 minutes and after that you are ready to light up your fragrant candle. Your whole home will be full of fruity smell without the use of any chemicals.
