Awesome. Yea it’s shocking how many of these traditional actions we’ve kind of been brainwashed out of using by large corporations just trying to sell us more products!
I use diffusers that you add essential oils to as well as my humidifier which you can add oil to as well. And even when it’s snowing I open all the windows for 15-20 minutes each day to allow God’s greatest gift-fresh air- into the rooms. Then I make tea.💕
Sometimes when I've been cooking etc. of course open the windows but mentally I like to just simply embrace the aroma of freshly baked bread or a stew etc. And think of how grateful I am for the food and the ability to bake and cook for my family.
I adore how your frame your shots...putting the camera behind a plant and allowing the leaves to frame the focus of the imagery...just captivating! I learn so much about filmmaking and composition from the way you organize and frame your shots. Also, I've been seeing those purple flowers everywhere lately in the Alsatian countryside and Vosges mountains in France! I'm not sure what they are called...but they are so beautiful
I grow foxgloves every year in my garden and I have never, in 35 years, had any problems with poisoning incidents. Don’t be afraid of growing them please.
This was just what I needed today! Have tried a few of these before and they are great tips! I put the baking soda and cinnamon straight to use on my rugs today! Another one I like to do is take a handful of coffee beans and pop them in a cup with a tea light...as the beans warm up you get a lovely aroma!
One thing people tend to forget is taking out the trash frequently. Can spray all the essential oils but if there's stuff rotting in the kitchen it's only masking the problem.
I have heard some people dip a q-tip in a favorite essential oil.. put it the toilet paper roll... and when you roll the paper down... it scents the room
A friend has a wood stove and when in use she puts a couple drops of essential oil directly on the stove, it burns off but creates a lovely scent for a while.
Hey there always good to hear your musical voice. We in India also keep our windows open most of the day. We dry our clothes directly under the sun. A good idea is to use camphor in the restroom. It clears any odour and keeps the bathroom dry. Incense sticks can also keep your house fragrant.
Nothing like the smell of sunshine in washed clothes . I keep some Mogra flowers in a bowl to make the summer evenings fragrant . Dried Neem leaves in food jars and clothings keeps away insects and moths .
The one thing I noticed right away was you had long sleeves in July. I live in the U.S. in the south Virginia and the only ones that wear long sleeves are older people. We have temperatures from 80to 100 in july and August.. thank you for this lovely video
I can't really grow things where I live, so I buy scented wax cubes and use them to make my apartment smell good. In the colder months, I like apple cider, vanilla, mulled cider scented wax cubes, and let them melt on a diffuser.
So many wonderful ideas. I totally agree about opening up the house to get fresh air and I always enjoy fresh flowers in my home. I am going to put some herbs in a pot and let them steep...thanks for the reminder! Hope everyone has a lovely day!!💖
I love the idea of essential oils with the hover filter. I like to keep a spray bottle with water & an essential oil(s) (usually lavender & geranium) in the bathroom, & every now & then I spray everything - the bath towels, hand towels, bath mat, then also any towels in the kitchen & the inside doormats 🙏💜 So Lush. Makes my house smell like a fancy spa 😁😍🥰
Sometimes I use an essential oil diffuser. I like to wipe surfaces down with lemon essential oil on a damp cloth. I sprinkle baking soda and/or crushed dried lavender flowers on carpets and then vacuum up.
So many of these remind me of my mama and what I learned from her growing up, and later in life, visiting her, in the islands. We do stove top summer pots a lot, and I make all natural antibacterial room and body sprays using botanicals and they don’t just freshen the scent of the room but the vibration and energy 🥰🤗🙏🏽
@@HomeLifeAus you can easily find video tutorials on UA-cam! You need to buy the right supplies first: I normally purchase soy wax in flakes and cotton wicks, that's all! I repurpose old jars as containers and I add essential oils I already have. :)
Some great tips. 😊 In the fall I like to simmer apple slices with all the fall spices; cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg....whatever I might have at the time. Crazy to think Fall is around the corner for us here in the U.S.
I have a phobia of smelly houses. I absolutely DETEST a stale, unclean smelling home, it's one reason why I will never own another dog (and I love dogs, but since the passing of my elderly dog last year, I have been amazed at how lovely my house now smells) I too make a carpet sprinkle with baking soda, but I use essential oils to infuse it for a couple of weeks before use. I also make my own Potpourri (I pick up pretty bowls from the thrift shop to display it in) and pomanders. I am a massive fan of open windows, it's very rare to find a window in my house no cracked open, even in the middle of Winter. And really, just having a clean home. There is nothing worse than a closed up, grubby house!!!
Fresh air makes so much difference, even in a city flat with 2 windows, having the cross breeze going really "lifts" the space (not to sound too hippy dippy) idk it's one of those things that I think you don't notice actively but subconsciously it makes everything feel fresher and brighter. Now I'm at home home with my parents, bedsheets that have dried outside VS tumble dried sheets - game changer. I sleep SO much better and they're so much softer than my sheets in the flat. Plus as well I suppose being able to garden and eat my body weight in fresh raspberries doesn't hurt either! Nothing like a global pandemic to make you re-evaluate what's important to your everyday. Have you found yourself re-shuffling your ideals/priorities during this time?
So wonderful as always💜 something I do, for those of us who have the space, is grow jasmine! They’re incredibly fragrant and suffuse the air around them with this amazing rich scent. The only thing is that throughout the years they can grow massively and become kind of like ivy; a big bush clinging to anything. So I’d suggest this to those who have a bit of space! Though they do take about two years to get to that size. :)
Glad I ran into this site yesterday. I've watched a few videos only, but they are very special. I needed to make some changes in my life and what I have been learning so far is just perfect. I'm just 73 1/2 years old. Better late than never. lol.
Opening the windows is a daily necessity here too. In the summer it means getting up early as the temperature rises quickly on days like today where I already have had to close them because the high temp for today will be nearing 100F. I also often diffuse essential oils which has the same effect as your little simmering bowl on the stove and helps with the super dry air here this time of year. I also use essential oils for room sprays and make sachets to help to keep the moths away. I also often wear essential oils, so that helps to move those good smells around the house too! It was nice to see a wool sweater on you this week-none of that here in Northern California where we haven’t seen daytime temps below 90F in a couple of weeks now. Be well, have a beautiful week!
I like to fill the house with the smell of freshly baked bread. I also diffuse essential oils so not only do I get the yummy smells but they also lift my mood as well.
Hello Fairyland! Since moving from Texas to Washington we enjoy wonderful cooler weather. I open the windows every day and no need for air conditioning here, I love it!
Thank you for your lovely ideas. I always like to have doors and windows open as much as possible. They are now, even though there is quite a gale blowing! Have a lovely Sunday 💗
Yea it’s amazing how much of a difference open windows makes! As an added bonus, my cats give me entertainment while they sit there and listen to the birds 🙂 so it’s natural deodorizer and natural entertainment! Haha
I'm glad that you guys also take off your shoes at the entryway! As a Japanese, I had a hard time inviting people to my place when I lived in the US. Also, I love the idea of infusing herbs in a water, which should be nontoxic to cats💓
So many wonderful tips! I’ll give them a try. The only thing I have to add is I sprinkle essential oil on a wet cloth when I wipe counters down and when I’m dusting.
I was so happy to see this video! I often find myself buying expensive candles and aerosols. These are full of chemicals and can be quite expensive over time. I’ve been searching for some low cost and environmentally friendly ideas. Thank you! I hope all is well for you.
Along the lines of the drying the sheets outside trick, I always liked to put my pillow out on the fire escape for a bit so when I went to bed my pillow would smell like sunshine
Hi Niamh, so delighted to see you and hear all your wonderful tips...and with Winter here in Australia I do forget to open up and let the breeze in every day as I don't like feeling cold. Interesting to hear you learnt this from your days of nursing and it makes a lot of sense. One thing I also do is leave a container in my fridge with bi-card soda in it, as it soaks up and discards any odours. Other than that I think you have pretty much covered everything. Have a wonderful week Niamh. XX
Thank you for your ideas. My home is always fragrant, as this is important to me. I continually spray lavender room spray, and most often have a candle or multiple candles burning.
Vinegar and water for cleaning floors, I also use baking soda, white vinegar for clogged drains, pour it in the drain, wait until it bubbles then add boiling water.
I’m a nurse and always have opened my windows daily, no matter what the weather! Are you still working as a nurse? What is your specialty? Mine is oncology. Thanks you for your lovely and calm vlogs. They are my favorite.
So many fab natural ideas. I particularly like the idea of essential oils on yr vacuum filter and your combo of pine, lemon peel and rosemary on your wood burner. Thanks for all the fab tips 🙂
Hello dear I love to watch ur every video because it's like to watch the land of fairies. Ur garden ur surrounding is very beautiful and peaceful thanks alot to our fairy 🧚♀️Niamh
Just wanted to share - I have planted fragrant plants outside every bedroom and bathroom of our home.. clematis, night queen, China box, Rangoon creeper and some other tropical ones . I live in India
M y morning witchy ritual. Open all blinds windows doors. I use hurbs like lemon grass, lavender,in my sweeper bag roses, lemon bom & mints cinnamon ,blue shage from my gardens put them in bowel on a old cup warmer or stove& i alway make my own wax insents for my burner . I try to never use fake sents .like always gr8 video thankyou ☘
Heard someone say they keep a bath bomb under their sofa for the smell and stuff pillows with little scented bags. Another one was to spray room spray onto radiators so that when they heat up it smells lovely ☺️🌿
And there I was, thinking that putting fresh cut lavender in a vase would be enough for a nice smell in our new home! Boy, was I wrong! Thank you much for your very useful tips!
beeswax candles naturally clean the air - as they burn, they attach to particles in the air, making it heavy and it falls to the ground, so you may want to sweep after. When we had heavy smoke in the air due to forest fires, it affected even indoor air quality. Burning beeswax gave me an oasis of clean air.
I love your tips! I'm going to try so many of them. I used to do the essential oils in the hoover, but I have pets now, so had to stop doing that. Also when I buy soap that is strong smelling, you always have this little hard piece left over at the end. I put that in a pan with some water and boil it. Once the soap is dissolved, I make it into laundry detergent, but the house will smell lovely in the meantime.
A trick I use is to put som drops of bergamot and peppermint essential oils on the mop I use with the steam cleaner: this way the floors are disinfected well and smell amazing. I also use a natural and alcohol free body mist (I'm allergic to alcohol) on the clean laundry, usually magnorlia or white musk scented, wait for it to almost completely dry and fold the laundry: the bathrooms and closets smell amazing for a while!
Right, that's it, I'm committing. I'm going to start taking notes and make an active effort to live more as you do, rather than just watching vids thinking how lovely it would be. My house is so stuffy and chores just pile up... I need a spring cleaning 2.0 Thank you for the continual inspiration :)
We always enjoy a video from you. we take our shoes off as we enter the house, we also use the diffusers for clean air and open windows if it's not too hot and humid.💚
Beautiful as always 🌺 Can you do a vlog type of video so we can see how a typical day in your life goes? I love the morning routines! What about a nightly one?
Adding live house plants is another great idea to add to your wonderful list. I love all these ideas especially line drying the sheets. Oh what a wonderful smell!!!! ❤️ you and your channel!!! ❤️
I absolutely ❤❤❤ your videos. They are always inspiring, uplidtinf and fun but I need them especially now during all this negative, dark stuff. You lift my spirits and make my days brighter. ❤👍☺ Thank you. Bless you. Be healthy.
Really enjoy your videos! Love the way you live with real purpose enjoying everything about life! Can tell from your lifestyle that you are beautiful inside and out! Thanks for the great tips that I can incorporate to live a more sustainable life!
I love Sweet Annie! Not many people know what it is. My family doesn’t like the scent! I grew a ton of it thinking I would put in every nook and cranny of the house but got out voted by the family!
Your videos are always so relaxing to watch 😌 I would always open my window in my bedroom to allow fresh air in and yes! It is quite nice! Sadly, I haven’t been able to lately because of the bad air quality due to the wildfires occurring in California at the moment 😔 but I have my good ol’ diffuser to help with that! Very helpful video! 😁
Great ideas. We don't have electricity or a vacuum OR rugs lol. What is your formula for room spray? Having 2 dogs on the farm who will always find the stinkiest poop to roll in, keeping them bathed is the key for sweeter odors lol
I absolutely love your videos! They are comforting and relaxing! Your house is beautiful and simple! I am going to start implementing some of these ideas for our house!! I will usually defuse some essential oils and it makes it smell so good!
Hello! How are you? Thank you so much for this wonderfull video. As you know I love lavender, I make sachets of lavender to put in wardrobes, drawers, I "spread" in many different places around the house. Mix anise is an excellent idea, I must try that, for sure! Your doors and windows design is so cute and cozy. Until sunday, have a nice week!
I have a habit of leaving the bathroom door open, so that the air can also circulate and not be stuffy ... but apparently it won't be the most correct: (( Beautiful video. Thank you !
I use the bathroom ventilating fan in the ceiling to draw bad smells away. Just leave the door closed after a "visit" for several minutes. I also leave the window open a crack even in winter to draw fresh air through the bathroom.
I can't close the bathroom door, my cat has her litter box in there and her food and water station. Also, a lot of people have allergies, like to pine, and that would not be a good idea to bring it in and boil it.
We always leave the bathroom door open, but we always have the bathroom window open, too, even if no other window is open (like if it is unbearably hot or cold outside). We just keep plants and beeswax candles in there to offset things 😂
Himalayan salt lamps are supposed to help air quality, as well. We have a few and while I can't say I've noticed a drastic difference the ambient light is certainly extraordinary.
My mom and my sister hates the smell of cloves. They said it smells like I'm brewing a smelly foot sock 😂.. For me its just fine specially when you added some orange or lemon and the best thing is cinnamon 😍
For anyone with pets make sure that these being dispersed into the air are safe for them as some plants can be toxic for pets or young babies.
How I love the way you live! Thanks for the purest inspiration 🌿 Our Planet needs more people like you
Love these ideas. My mother was an immigrant from Finland. She always did all of these hints. Made me miss her so much.💕

Nothing’s better than having the place smell like bread or stew for a couple of hours! Gives it a more homey feel in my opinion

@@goingy ooooooh thank you Ash! What a darling name! I've been seeing those everywhere lately - they are so vibrant and beautiful!
Awh thanks 😊 yes the foxgloves grow wild here in the countryside. They are just finished their season now. Such gorgeous colour.
I grow foxgloves every year in my garden and I have never, in 35 years, had any problems with poisoning incidents. Don’t be afraid of growing them please.

Jackie Azadi ah yes I use lemon Myrtle essential oil. The woman told me had higher anti bacterial qualities!
I also keep my extra soaps in my drawers ❤🙏
I loved to do that so much as a child will remember to do this :)
Haha great idea!
Me, too!❤🎯

I also love to make my own soy candles with essential oils: once I lit them I can smell a soft beautiful fragrance 💞
Sounds heavenly. I reuse old soy candles and add essential oil. But I must add more because it only has a light smell
HI marina please can you advice how you make your soy candles thank you ...
@@HomeLifeAus you can easily find video tutorials on UA-cam! You need to buy the right supplies first: I normally purchase soy wax in flakes and cotton wicks, that's all! I repurpose old jars as containers and I add essential oils I already have. :)

Yes! I can't wait to make crock pot applesauce! Gives that amazing smell but also you get applesauce and some cider❤️

I hear ya!
I think baking soda/cinnamon would work being sprinkled lightly on the mattresses as well.

So wonderful as always💜 something I do, for those of us who have the space, is grow jasmine! They’re incredibly fragrant and suffuse the air around them with this amazing rich scent. The only thing is that throughout the years they can grow massively and become kind of like ivy; a big bush clinging to anything. So I’d suggest this to those who have a bit of space!

Sometimez night time airing iz best & setting an alarm just at dawn to shut em
We are like that where I live but most don’t have air con

Grow Sweet Annie. I dry the stems and crumble some for my vacuum. I also grow it around my chicken coop as it prevents insects from entering the barn.
Maria Lane I just looked up the plant. Sounds amazing. I’ll have to check do they have in Ireland. I definitely want one now.
I love Sweet Annie! Not many people know what it is. My family doesn’t like the scent! I grew a ton of it thinking I would put in every nook and cranny of the house but got out voted by the family!
Your videos are always so relaxing to watch 😌 I would always open my window in my bedroom to allow fresh air in and yes! It is quite nice! Sadly, I haven’t been able to lately because of the bad air quality due to the wildfires occurring in California at the moment 😔 but I have my good ol’ diffuser to help with that! Very helpful video! 😁
I totally giggled at Herbs. In America the H is silent 🙂 I LOVE your channel. I want to take a flight and come spend a week with you!
I also love natural candles 🕯, I'm waiting for a video about your wardrobe and your attitude to fashion and clothes👗👙👒

Thanks for the tip about the baking soda and cinnamon. I’m going to try that one!
Thank you for inspiring me.i loved yiur videos
Watching your videos is so refreshing! 💚
Great ideas. We don't have electricity or a vacuum OR rugs lol.
What is your formula for room spray?
Having 2 dogs on the farm who will always find the stinkiest poop to roll in, keeping them bathed is the key for sweeter odors lol
I buy incense sticks and cones in bulk when I got the renaissance festival every fall and use those around the house.

I absolutely love your videos! They are comforting and relaxing! Your house is beautiful and simple! I am going to start implementing some of these ideas for our house!! I will usually defuse some essential oils and it makes it smell so good!
Hello! How are you? Thank you so much for this wonderfull video. As you know I love lavender, I make sachets of lavender to put in wardrobes, drawers, I "spread" in many different places around the house. Mix anise is an excellent idea, I must try that, for sure! Your doors and windows design is so cute and cozy. Until sunday, have a nice week!
So inspiring!! Thank you so much for sharing. I love these tips.😊
The pine W. lemon looks good enough to drink🤣 bless u 4 video 4 sharing and teaching 🤗
Nice tips. Thanks. Can you please give me a tips on how to make natural home spray?
What is the reasoning for leaving the bathroom door closed? P.s. I love your channel!
I have a habit of leaving the bathroom door open, so that the air can also circulate and not be stuffy ... but apparently it won't be the most correct: ((
Beautiful video.
Thank you !
I use the bathroom ventilating fan in the ceiling to draw bad smells away. Just leave the door closed after a "visit" for several minutes. I also leave the window open a crack even in winter to draw fresh air through the bathroom.
Always leave the. window open.
That makes sense. Does your bathroom have a vent or window. If so that will let the loo smell outside without going into the house.
I can't close the bathroom door, my cat has her litter box in there and her food and water station. Also, a lot of people have allergies, like to pine, and that would not be a good idea to bring it in and boil it.
We always leave the bathroom door open, but we always have the bathroom window open, too, even if no other window is open (like if it is unbearably hot or cold outside). We just keep plants and beeswax candles in there to offset things 😂
I just love ur videos and ur voice is so relaxing....would love to visit ur beautiful country one day🌷love from down under🌻🌻🌻🌻
Himalayan salt lamps are supposed to help air quality, as well. We have a few and while I can't say I've noticed a drastic difference the ambient light is certainly extraordinary.
My mom and my sister hates the smell of cloves. They said it smells like I'm brewing a smelly foot sock 😂..
For me its just fine specially when you added some orange or lemon and the best thing is cinnamon 😍
Really helpful tips 🤗 thanks and lots of love ❤ I'm gonna try all of them
I will make my house clean and smell good. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing such wonderful advice. I'll be sure to try them out!
Oh how lovely ☺️
A dab of essential oil on lightbulbs and radiators works well.
Lyn Hill ohh I’ve never tried on lightbulbs
Thank you for the tips💕 I hope your well, have a lovely day.
