How do I use lazy-girl morning routine in a diffuser?

Add Peppermint 2 · Lemon 2 · Sweet Orange 2 · Rosemary 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of peppermint?

Swap peppermint for spearmint — same minty family. The blend will shift a little: spearmint is sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum.

When is the best time to use lazy-girl morning routine?

Best in the morning, early afternoon, or right after a nap; avoid using it close to bedtime.

Lazy-girl morning routine · Peppermint, Lemon, Sweet Orange blend

Name: lazy-girl morning routine
Yield: 8 drops
Ingredients: 2 drops Peppermint essential oil; 2 drops Lemon essential oil; 2 drops Sweet Orange essential oil; 2 drops Rosemary essential oil

You can smell great even when you're lazy: just four oils, two drops each. Peppermint and lemon pop up first, clean and bright; sweet orange backs them up so it's less sour, and rosemary settles in with a warm, dry herbal note. Suits a small apartment when you've just dragged yourself out of bed and are still zoning out at the table. For a softer take on sluggish mornings, cut the peppermint to 1 drop.

How it unfolds

On opening. Peppermint (cool, sharp and clean); lemon (fresh, bright and clean); sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round); rosemary (cool, green, herbal and invigorating) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
