I absolutely love little tips that show you easy ways you can use essential oils to improve the quality of daily life. So when I came across this great little article about making your own natural car air-freshener using essential oils and a piece of felt I just had to share it with you all.

How to Make Your Own Natural Car Air Freshener with Wool Felt and Essential Oils

- Make it smelly! Drop several drops of your favorite combination of essential oils right onto the wool shape. Essential oils are a natural source of scent, and you can always benefit from aromatherapy in your car–for instance . . .
