When sinus congestion and coughing are running rampant in the house (you know the sound 😅), it’s time to call in a little aromatic science.

α-Terpineol is a naturally occurring chemical component found in several essential oils and is known for its airborne antimicrobial properties. When diffused, it helps freshen the air while supporting clearer breathing especially when noses are blocked and coughs won’t quit.

One of my go-to oils for this is Fragonia (Agonis fragrans) a beautifully balancing oil that’s gentle yet effective. I’ve blended it with Oregano essential oil (Origanum vulgare — not to be confused with oil of oregano) and Mandarin Red (Citrus reticulata) to create a diffuser blend that’s supportive, comforting, and uplifting when used properly.

🌬️ Diffuse when congestion and coughing are circulating through the house and let the air do some of the heavy lifting.

Looking for a healthier alternative to dryer sheets? Try this!

If you’re trying to ditch conventional dryer sheets (hello synthetic fragrances + mystery chemicals), I’ve got two super simple, eco-friendly swaps you can start using today.

Option 1: Wool Dryer Balls
Add about 5 drops of essential oil to your wool dryer balls, toss them in the dryer, and let them do their thing.
Quick tip: More dryer balls = less static. Don’t be afraid to throw in 2 or even 3 balls if needed!

Option 2: DIY Reusable Dryer Sheets
Got an old cotton towel you’ve been meaning to toss? Cut it into 5x5 inch squares and keep them in a basket on top of the dryer. When you’re drying a load, add a few drops of essential oil to one square and toss it in.
Ta-da! Your own reusable dryer sheets.

Why these swaps are awesome:
• No synthetic fragrances
• Reduce waste + save money
• Gentler on sensitive skin
• Naturally soften laundry and reduce static
• Better for you and the planet

Essential oil ideas to try:
• Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) – calming & fresh
• Pine (Pinus sylvestris) – clean, woodsy, uplifting
• Lemon (Citrus limon) – bright & fresh (great for towels!)
• Sweet Orange (Citrus sinensis) – cozy and cheerful

A little goes a long way, start small and adjust to your liking. Clean laundry doesn’t need chemicals to smell amazing

Want to learn more about using and caring for your DIY dryer sheets? Comment “LAUNDRY” below and I’ll send you more tips plus a few essential oil blend recipes to add that extra something special.

Hi friends!
For those of you who may be new here, I’m Jennifer Carter, an Advanced Certified Aromatherapist, registered with NAHA (National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy).

I’m the heart behind Copper Essence Botanicals, where I educate, create, and share all things aromatherapy, clean living and more. What I love most is helping people understand that aromatherapy is so much more than just a pleasant aroma. It’s about education, intention, safety, and real-life application for everyday wellness.

I offer hands-on, educational workshops that can be customized for your space and audience, including topics like:
✨ Aromatherapy Basics & Benefits (perfect for beginners!)
✨ Understanding essential oils beyond the scent
✨ Clean living & reducing toxic load in the home
✨ Therapeutic uses of aromatherapy for stress, sleep, mood, and everyday support
✨ Family-friendly & practical wellness education

I’m currently looking to partner with local businesses, studios, shops, and community spaces that would be interested in hosting a workshop. These are interactive, approachable, and designed to educate while empowering people to make informed choices.

If this sounds like something you—or a business you love—might be interested in, I’d love to connect!

Blend of the Week

If cozy comfort had a scent… this would be it.
This week’s blend is warm, sweet, and nostalgic like a freshly baked cinnamon roll straight from the oven.

Diffuser Blend:
• 3 drops Gingergrass (Cymbopogon martinii var. Sofia)
• 1–2 drops Cinnamon Bark (Cinnamomum verum)
• 3 drops Peru Balsam (Myroxylon pereirae)

Why this blend is so delicious:
• Gingergrass adds a soft, sweet-spicy warmth with subtle floral notes, reminiscent of dough just starting to rise
• Cinnamon Bark brings that unmistakable spicy heart, inviting, energizing, and comforting all at once
• Peru Balsam wraps it all together with a rich, vanilla-like, resinous sweetness that gives major icing-on-top vibes

Perfect for diffusing when you want your space to feel warm, inviting, and comforting without turning on the oven. This blend is especially lovely for slow mornings, cozy afternoons, creative time, or seasonal nesting energy

Intentional use:
Diffuse during journaling, homeschooling, baking days, or anytime you want your home to feel grounded, safe, and wrapped in warmth.

Save this blend for cozy days and share it with a fellow cinnamon-roll-at-heart

A New Chapter Is Beginning

There’s a beautiful evolution happening behind the scenes at Copper Essence
What started as handcrafted, plant-based wellness is expanding into something deeper. More education, more guidance, and more one-on-one support.

Big things are coming, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

Putting together a little love-filled basket for my cousin who just found out she’s pregnant. CONGRATULATIONS!
Those early days are such a tender mix of excitement, emotion, and big changes.

I love gifting with intention, and aromatherapy is such a beautiful way to add extra care and comfort. Here are a few simple ways I added it into this mama bundle:

🌿 A thrifted gem of a book, 52 Timesavers for On-the-Go Moms — because wisdom can be reused and loved again
🌿 A Morning Ease nasal inhaler for gentle aromatherapy support with nausea, any time of day
🌿 New Dawn Belly Butter for the first trimester, made to support skin elasticity as her belly begins to grow
🌿 Rosehip Bliss chapstick, because a little self-care (and glowing lips) goes a long way
🌿 And homemade apple butter for those cozy mama cravings

Aromatherapy doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes it’s as simple as scent, touch, and a reminder that someone is deeply cared for.
Such a sweet, sacred season
