I usually just light a candle and move it around from room to room...that way the house isn't too full of the scent. My house is small also though. I love Citrus smells! I just bought a Citrus candle from target

I always use a citrus scent in the bathroom. It cuts through any bathroom odor. I just have an unlit candle in the bathroom most times.

And I use Pine Sol cleaner. I have tried not using it... and going natural and with EOs... but it never smells clean unless I use Pine Sol. Must be because my mom used it and so it has that clean association from when I would clean the house.

What a good idea. Why didn't I think of that!

I wish my house smelled like a healthfood store. You know that herbaly hops kinda smell? I love it. Wish I could figure out how to make my house smell that way.
