These Spring Diffuser Recipes are wonderful for ushering in a new season and clearing out the stuffiness of winter. Diffuse these blends to help generate feelings of positivity and establish a peaceful environment in your home for spring.
Springtime has a certain scent to it. The plants and flowers start to wake up and the air starts to move again. It just smells better in the spring! When you can’t be outdoors enjoying the spring sunshine, you can still enjoy your favorite smells inside with your diffuser.

6 Spring Diffuser Recipes
Key Lime Pie

Hi Carole! We have been using oils safely near our pets for years. We can only speak from personal experience since we are not veterinarians. We have no hesitation diffusing any oils around our pets.
