    I'm obsessed with having myself and my house smelling good at all times, I'm always looking for new scents and new ways to keep my house smelling fresh. I was taught by my grandmother when I was in grade school to put some clove, cinnamon sticks, and orange peels in a pot with a little water on the stove and let it heat up on low heat. The house always smelled like someone was cooking a desert.
    I personally like scented candles but it's not practical for me to burn them every day, what are some methods some of you use to keep your house smelling fresh/good?

    I used to do the air wick plug-ins but it got so expensive. The wax melts are dope. I buy them in bulk on Amazon and when I’m ready for some smell goods I pop two cubes in the joint and.

    I read that plug-ins might cause cancer, too.
    I love my wax melts, though. The scent lasts forever, too!

    There’s freaking cancer in everything. Every time I turn around something new is causing us to get sick.

    Incense all the time and plug-ins (2) for heavy traffic areas. I also keep fresh flowers and drying herbs in the house. So it's always smelling like something over here.

    I was taught by my grandmother when I was in grade school to put some clove, cinnamon sticks, and orange peels in a pot with a little water on the stove and let it heat up on low heat.
    This sounds like it smells wonderful. I gotta try it one day.

    Have you seen those potpourri packets? They smell so good and they are a lot easier to manage than having the potpourri. I got some a week ago and they smell amazing and have been very potent.

    I'm not sure if this is hearsay, but I've heard certain scented candles (especially those from bath and bodyworks) could be carcinogenic and aren't the best for your health. My personal go to is incenses for the scent of course and also that kind of meditative feel of lighting one up and watching the smoke. I probably sound like a hippy saying that though.
