Love sweet scents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-578061 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:37:08 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 578061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is obsessed with having a scented house. OBSESSED! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-578058 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:36:15 +0000 T-Mom 578058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a huge scent fan, but I have somehow found myself with a stockpile of scentsy warmers and scents (coworker was selling and I felt bad for her). All of the baked good scents make me nauseous so if I have to pick, I choose fruity or soapy clean scents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577954 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:59:54 +0000 BananaPancakes 577954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most scents will give me a headache, and some scents (like baked goods) make me nauseous. I'm really sensitive to scent and hate going to people's houses (my MIL) where there are candles burning. It's always way too strong and I have to sit there and be miserable or secretly blow out candles or unplug glade wall plugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577944 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:57:11 +0000 mrsmenow 577944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: LOL, My mom had that</p> <p>I have a wax warmer plugged in that turn on when we turn our living room lights on. I am super paranoid about our house smelling like dog. I usually order from Scentsy and mix up the smell depending on the time of year-usually an apple/cinnamon or a light fresh scent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577827 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:29:47 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 577827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Ah, yes, I remember it well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577784 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:19:36 +0000 prettylizy 577784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: my first every perfume that I bought myself at age 12..... so awful!! </p> [attach=1542/13/mihyk1.300x362.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577773 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:17:17 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 577773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I don't think that would bother me...

My mom hates them too so I rarely use them in our house. I read somewhere that putting two capfulls of vanilla extract in a oven save dish in a 350 oven for 20 minutes will make the whole house smell like heaven in 10 minutes. I wonder if that would bother you guys/her too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577593 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:37:08 +0000 Dandelion 577593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. jacks: Yeah, I love to eat vanilla...just don't like to wear it or my house to smell like it, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577592 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:36:44 +0000 Dapple Grey 577592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sensitive to smells and they give me headaches.

(not the actual baking vanilla, just anything vanilla "scented") </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577569 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:31:49 +0000 Dandelion 577569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like candles.

I can't stand vanilla scented anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577567 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:30:53 +0000 matador84 577567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>too scenty and i get a headache. fresh scents don't bother me though...like clean laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577562 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:29:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 577562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Mmm... Love Dr. Bronners! Have you tried the almond one? It's truly snack-worthy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577558 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:28:01 +0000 Maysprout 577558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: That sounds really nice, now I want a humidifier. </p> <p>My husband has been washing his hair with Dr. Bronners lavender soap and I just want to eat him up afterwards. So instead of doing that I bought culinary lavender and have been sticking it in brownies, so delicious and smells great too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577528 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:19:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 577528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'm with you. I dislike the idea of covering up smell more than the original smell itself. Then I just smell the first smell and the overpowering second smell. No smells for me besides my cleaning supplies and whatever living smells like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577524 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:18:22 +0000 Reese 577524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I light scented candles often </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577517 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:16:19 +0000 prettylizy 577517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: our house has been pretty dry the last few weeks so I've been running a humidifier and I have been adding some lavender essential oil to the water just for a bit of oomph. I find it super calming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577513 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:15:02 +0000 Maysprout 577513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: :) Thanks. </p> <p>We got an oil kit for Christmas and have been experimenting with nicer smells. Both of us are big lavender fans and I usually throw some lemongrass and tea tree oil in too. I need to get a better diffuser or something because my husband really does put up good competition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577508 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:13:41 +0000 Ash 577508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use homemade baked scents in fall and winter and fun fruity scents in summer. Big fan of scentsy and b&amp;bw wallflowers. I avoid lineny and floral scents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577499 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:10:58 +0000 autumnlove 577499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I get a headache from scents! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577494 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:09:00 +0000 prettylizy 577494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: that's a neat idea, you use the same scent all through the house. I get a little crazy and buy all the B&amp;BW seasonal candles so I change it up all the time. I kind of like the idea of having a 'scent' that would be like our signature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577491 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:07:46 +0000 HLK208 577491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I have an old house...and it smells like old house :( so I buy pier one diffusers/candles/room spray in crisp bamboo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577488 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:06:40 +0000 prettylizy 577488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: bwahahahahaha! you win HB tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-scent-your-house#post-577487 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:06:34 +0000 Bao 577487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We light candles.

I also have a few reed diffusers here and there just to make things interesting. </p> <p>Do you use household scents? What kind do you like? Fresh, sweet, earthy? </p>
