    This post is in partner with Alex’s Elderberries. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information.

I get so many questions about how I use oils in the home and how to switch to safer away from candles so I figured I’d share this again. I diffuse essential oils all day and night.
