Picture: Can of stink!
This morning I was on a roll and was uber productive. Perhaps it was due to my extra 1 1/2 hours of sleep, thank you son for sleeping until 7:25AM! I opened the diaper pail at one point in the morning only to be met by the smell of death! I quickly remembered it was trash day and continued with my productive morning by taking the bag of stink to the curb. I actually managed to beat the garbage truck, which is impressive alone. However, my de-stinking was short lived because my son felt the void in the air and christened the fresh bag within minutes!
I then remembered reading the doTERRA blog about air fresheners and thought "If I can't get rid of it, then I will hide it!". I modified the recipe because I only have 2 oz glass bottles. I love the smell of lavender, therefore I decided to use it as part of my recipe. I also love how lemon has a crisp and clean smell, therefore I used it too!

I simply filled my 2 oz bottle with distilled water, then added 3 drops of lavender and 3 drops of lemon. I shook it up and began spraying it all over the house. I even sprayed it right in the stink pail. I liked that when I sprayed it everywhere it didn't make me cough like other sprays (I'm sure you've walked through a cloud of air freshener before!). Or that I didn't have to worry if any of the mist got on my son. Yeah for no chemicals!

The smell, which I dubbed "lemonder", was very light and fresh. It certainly was not overpowering, but it did mask the stink of the diaper pail. I do not like STRONG smells, so if you like strong smells you may want to use different EOs and/or more drops. I am the type of person that gets headaches in everyone's favorite body wash store, so the light smell was perfect. The great thing about EOs is you can use them how you like!
Happy de-stinking and oil using! -Amy
