I just learned the greatest trick. My daughter’s nursery was not smelling like a sweet little baby lately (the diaper pail has been in overdrive lately) so I asked my friend how to get rid of the cause. She said that a combo of baking soda and essential oil would do the trick. So off I went in search of the ingredients. Today at Whole Foods I found a great smelling oil from Aura Cacia called the Organic calming Nursery Blend. I picked up a package of baking soda and found a votive holder in the candle section (you can use any glass jar you have, an old jelly jar would be great) and I was ready for some fun mixing. I filled the glass jar 2/3 full with Baking Soda and then added about 10-12 drops of the oil (you can add more or less based on your preference). I placed it out of reach from my daughter on her dresser and within minutes the offending oder was gone. AMAZING!!

You can try this trick in any room of the house. If you start getting a lot of scents going, use a labeled popsicle stick to identify the essential oil added for easy refill.

Happy odor eliminating to you all! Have another eco friendly and baby friendly trick, I’d love to hear about it.

All the best,
Kim
