How To Make Your House Smell Like Fall Without Toxic Chemicals

Healthy Lifestyle, Toxin Free

toxin free fall candles, non-toxic fall candles, fontana candle company

Who doesn’t love some good fall scents making your home smell cozy?? Homes filled with Bath & Body Works candles, Yankee candles, fall Febreze scents, fall Glade scents have become the norm.

Unfortunately, these products are so bad for your health! Bath & Body Works candles and Yankee candles both contain paraffin wax which is a petroleum by-product. It emits carcinogens like benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde. These candles can cause headaches, nausea, and respiratory issues due to the synthetic fragrance added in.

Products like Febreze & Glade are fragrance in a bottle. Febreze and Glade do disclose their ingredients on their website and they are anything but non-toxic. Febreze contains paraffin wax, petroleum wax, PEG’s, fragrance, and more. Glade contains fragrance, butane, and propane! We are NOT meant to inhale these toxic chemicals.

Getting rid of toxic products like these can decrease the toxic load on our bodies which makes us feel physically better in so many ways!

Also, I know when people have guests over, they like to make their house smell nice! But one thing lots of people don’t take into consideration is if their guests might be sensitive to chemicals or if they have any other health issues like asthma. 

For me, I react HORRIBLY to Febreze and Glade. After a few hours, I’m literally wheezing and it’s hard for me to breathe. My sinuses also start to swell which makes it even harder to breathe. I get relief as soon as I walk outside, but it’s miserable. Don’t make your guests sick by bombarding them with toxic chemicals.

Also, these toxic chemicals can also wreak havoc on our hormones! If you have a hormone imbalance, the products you use daily can have a negative effect on your hormones. It’s best to use toxin free products whenever possible!

So what can you use to make your home smell like fall without harming anyone’s health? 

My FAVORITE brand that I always talk about because they are THAT good is Fontana Essentials. Fontana Essentials makes completely toxin free candles and room sprays to make any home smell great without the toxic chemicals. 

Fontana candles are made of beeswax and coconut oil and they are scented with pure essential oils. Their room sprays only contain witch hazel, water, and pure essential oils. Their ingredients are Made Safe Certified which means they are third party tested and do not contain any chemicals known to cause harm to humans, animals, or ecosystems.

So which scents do I recommend for fall? Keep reading for my list!

Fontana’s Pumpkin Pie Candle:

Fontana’s Pumpkin Pie candle is way too good! It smells just like Pumpkin Spice. It’s literally better than the artificially scented pumpkin candles because it’s not too sweet and it doesn’t make me nauseous! (Literally, artificial pumpkin candles always make me so nauseous.)

Fontana’s Cinnamon Orange Clove candle and room spray:

Cinnamon Orange Clove is my go-to for fall and holiday scents! They have a candle and a room spray in this scent so you can make it really strong if you need to. 

Cinnamon orange clove smells like fall spices or like those scented pinecones you’ll find at the grocery store. When I think of fall, I think of this scent…it’s SO GOOD!

Fontana’s Spiced Latte candle:

If you are a fan of pumpkin spice lattes, you will LOVE this Spiced Latte candle! Did you know pumpkin spice doesn’t actually have pumpkin in it?

This candle doesn’t smell like pumpkin, but it does smell like pumpkin spice! It’s such a cozy smell I find myself burning this candle often!

Fontana’s Allspice Ginger & Vanilla Candle:

I love how the vanilla brings out a sweeter smell. With the Allspice Ginger & Vanilla candle, you still get the fall spices with a hint of sweetness. This one has quickly become one of my favorite fall candles!

Fontana’s Pure Vanilla Candle:

If you’re not a fan of all the spices but you still want a cozy candle that’s not floral or fruity, Fontana’s Pure Vanilla candle is it! It smells just like vanilla bean ice cream. It’s not the strongest smell so if you like lighter smells, this candle is perfect!

Yesterday, I was thinking how different my life is Yesterday, I was thinking how different my life is in my early 30’s than it was in my early 20’s.

In my 20’s, 
I was in multiple toxic friendships.

After losing my boyfriend, I spiraled with alcohol.

I spent way too many nights out until 2 or 3am.

Especially in my early 20’s, I was living off of processed food.

I was spending way too much money on stuff.

In my 30’s,

I’ve said goodbye to people that drain my energy.

Tea is my go-to drink.

I’ve been getting up earlier and having relaxing mornings. 

I eat lots of whole, clean foods and haven’t touched fast food for YEARS!

I spend more money on experiences and way less on stuff.

I feel like your 20’s is all about learning who you are, what you’re okay with and not okay with, learning lessons the hard way, and growing into your own person.

Your 30’s is about embracing yourself, being at peace, and doing what makes you happy instead of trying to impress or keep up with others 💕

Holiday Cheer is for you if you like the more rich, classic holiday scents. It’s a blend of peppermint, fir, and wintergreen essential oils. This one smells very nostalgic to me! 

Christmas Cookie smells EXACTLY like my moms famous Christmas Sugar Cookies with frosting! It’s sweet, but not too sweet, and it’s literally identical to my moms sugar cookies. 

I’m obsessed! Which scent would you try???

These tampon brands might contain organic cotton, These tampon brands might contain organic cotton, but that’s not their only ingredient! 

These companies either don’t fully disclose their ingredients and use code words like “water repellant wax” (okay, what’s in your water repellant wax mam?), or they contain other toxic chemicals along with the organic cotton.

These ingredients they contain include…
❌Polyethylene
❌Polyester
❌Paraffin
❌Titanium Dioxide
❌Polypropylene 

My personal favorite tampon brand is @natracare. The only ingredient in them is 100% organic cotton! And that’s all that should be in your tampons!

Laser Hair Removal, Part 3! If I had to do it ove Laser Hair Removal, Part 3!

If I had to do it over again, I would definitely just do it at home.

Keep in mind though, everyone’s skin is different, everyone’s hair growth is different, what works for one might not work for someone else.

I know many people who have had a great experience with professional laser hair removal and it worked great for them! For me, the at home device worked better and it’s so, so, so much cheaper! 

But do what works best for you and your budget! I hope this helps you if you’re thinking about getting laser hair removal! And don’t forget to watch parts 1 & 2 if you haven’t already!

If you have any questions or want to share your experience with laser hair removal, leave a comment! 💕

I absolutely LOVE the @braun_global IPL device. It has so much power and feels extremely similar to the professional device in the dermatologist’s office!

I’ve had great results with the Brain IPL device!!!

Part 1/3 of my IPL laser hair removal experience! Part 1/3 of my IPL laser hair removal experience!

I got professional IPL laser hair removal from a cosmetic dermatologist and I purchased the Braun at home IPL device.

I decided to do laser hair removal because I hate being stubbly 1 day after shaving…it’s uncomfortable, time consuming, terrible for the environment, and doesn’t look the best. 

Laser hair removal has been a game changer!
