Essential Oil Tip

I am a resource teacher in an elementary school and have many students in and out of my room every day. Especially during the colder months, many of them have colds. I spray down my reading table, chairs, pillows, stuffed animals, and even book baskets with Thieves’ Spray a couple of times a day. I stay healthy and the room smells great! One child said he likes my room because it smells like Christmas. — Amy Umberger
