Spruce up Your Spring Cleaning in 5 Days
It’s that time of year again when we need to clean out the clutter and freshen up our home after the long cold winter months. Here are a few tips to start your spring cleaning task, make a schedule to conquer one room at a time and get it done in 5 days so you don’t get overwhelmed trying to do it all at once. Get into your spring cleaning routine by firing up the diffuser and add a few drops of your favorite essential oils, turn up pandora, and pour yourself a cup of hazelnut brew, (or your favorite coffee), and put on your cleaning gloves!Â
Happy cleaning!
