15 DIY Citrus Candles To Freshen Your Home

February 23, by Shellie Wilson.

Candles are a wonderful addition to any home. They create an inviting ambiance and can transform the atmosphere of a room with their warm glow and delightful fragrances. And what’s better than buying a scented candle? Making one yourself!

In this candle roundup, we’ve put together 15 different DIY candle tutorials that will show you how to make your own candles at home. One of the themes we’re exploring is citrus scents, which are not only refreshing but also have a range of therapeutic benefits. For instance, the scent of orange is known to be cheerful, uplifting, and relaxing, and it can help reduce your pulse rate, while lemon has been shown to boost mood, improve mental clarity, and reduce stress.

Making your own candles is a great way to relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Plus, you can customize your candles to suit your preferences, whether you’re looking for a specific scent or want to create a unique look that complements your home decor.

Each tutorial in this roundup features clear and easy-to-follow instructions, and most of the materials required are readily available. You’ll learn how to make candles in a variety of styles, from simple votives to elegant pillar candles. And with the added bonus of citrus scents, your DIY candles will be a refreshing and uplifting addition to any room.

Not only is candle-making a relaxing hobby, but it can also be a thoughtful and personal gift idea. Give the gift of a homemade candle to friends and family, and they’ll appreciate the effort and care that went into making it. Alternatively, create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere in your own home by placing your DIY candles around the house.

Whether you’re a seasoned candle-making pro or a beginner, these 15 tutorials are sure to inspire you to get creative with your candle-making. So, gather your materials, clear some space on your workbench, and let’s get started on making some beautiful and fragrant candles!

With the arrival of the Japanese Encephalitis Mosquito, it has become important to make sure those pesky mosquitos are not snacking on you.  Japanese encephalitis symptoms include Headache, neck pain, and Nausea. .  Japanese encephalitis does have a vaccine and you should contact your local medical professional for information on obtaining this vaccination.

But how else can you protect yourself against mosquitos? Keep mosquitoes away from exposed skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks, you can even wear a mosquito net hat.  Tuck shirts into pants and pants into socks to cover gaps in your clothing where mosquitoes can get to your skin.  For a natural repellent use essential oils for making your own Mosquito bug spray repellent. Add oils to water and spray into the air or add small drops to your clothing.  Use a Necklace or Bracelet oil diffuser to help repel mosquitoes naturally.  Insect bracelets and necklaces are great for children too.
