Can you mix any essential oils?
Yes, but it’s more about “what essential oils smell good together?”. And it’s most easily answered by using an essential oil blending wheel. Similar to a color wheel, an essential oil blending wheel helps us understand the relationships between different aromas and how our brain processes them.
To create appealing essential oil blends, you want to choose oils that sit next to each on the blending wheel. So, use this list of essential oils that smell like Christmas with the blend wheeling to create countless combinations.

Where’s The Best Place To Put A Diffuser?
I know all too well that finding a good space for a diffuser can be difficult. I’ve learned that it’s not really about decor. It’s about choosing the best place to reap the aromatherapy benefits of a diffuser. Yes, I am guilty of choosing an essential oil diffuser for its looks and choosing a spot to use it because it looked good there.
But, you’ll be less likely to use your diffuser if it’s not where you or your family are often. And the same can be said for your essential oils. If you keep them in a box in your closet – how often are you really going to use them?
So, take some time to think about where you and your family frequently spend time in your home and how you can creatively store your essential oils for ease of use. I share several storage tips for oils here and have a few ideas in the Oily Chic Lookbook.
Here is a list of some of the best places to put a diffuser:
- Living Room Sofa Table
- Kitchen Island
- Bedroom Night Stand
- Entry Way Table
- Bathroom Vanity
- Coffee Bar
- Office Credenza
- Portable Diffuser In The Car
- Kids Playroom Bookshelf
Once you’ve found the perfect location, or locations in our family’s case, for an essential oil diffuser, store essential oils, you will use most often there. And why not tuck these Christmas blends charts nearby?
