With the holidays quickly approaching, your home will soon become a place of entertaining. And one easy way to transform your dinners, parties, and celebrations is with the use of essential oils.
To get you started, we thought we’d share a couple of our favorite Ellia blends, plus suggestions on how to incorporate them in the way you dress your dining tables, entertaining spaces, and kitchen.
Ellia’s Go-To Fall Blend
Three drops of Eucalyptus, one drop of Lemongrass, and two drops of Lemon. Diffuse these oils to add to the ambience of your holiday gathering.
Then, infuse your home with touches of these ingredients.
- Decorate your dining room table with a neutral runner, such as jute or rattan. Layer it with:
- Sprigs of eucalyptus

- A wooden bowl filled with lemons
- Soft light from candles
- Tie napkins with twine and a sprig of eucalyptus. Include a small name tag made out of craft paper.

Cozy Scents and Décor for Winter
As the season changes to winter, scent the air with a “cozy” feel using three drops of Fight It, two drops of Peppermint, and two drops of Orange.
