We love these little room fresheners that plug in and scent with warm oils and such.  But at like $5 to $7 a pack, even at the Dollar Store, it was getting a little pricey.  And I don’t know, I just wanted my own blends, scents and such.

Well, golly.  That little plastic thingy just kind of pops off with a little pressure from a butter knife or a dull pair of scissors.  So I just added a little cheap vodka  (non flavored, non scented alcohol base)  and then 10 to 15 drops of essential oil.  Put it back together and plugged it in.  Perfect!  Wonderful scents and last just as long.  Even if you are not a drinker…  pure simple vodka is a cheap way to make all sorts of neat things.  Like vanilla extract, or actually any sort of extract.  And it’s good for making tinctures and such for herbs and spices.  I usually have a little bottle of it in the cupboard for various remedies.  Heck, don’t tell anyone, but I actually  blend my own perfume with a little vodka and essential oils and I’ve had many people remark that they thought I smelled very nice.  (It’s our little secret, eh?)  Well, now, my house can smell nice, too and inexpensively!
