  5. Tie a short length of twine around the stem to resemble the vine.

Fun Fall Activities

Although there are plenty of fun outdoor activities to participate in during the autumn season, as the days get chillier some are better spent indoors. Here are two of our favourite fall activities enhanced with the aromas of some of the most seasonal essential oils.

Friends and Family Gathering – Fall is the perfect season to gather with friends and family. Along with seasonal dishes and treats, adorn your table with a festive pinecone centerpiece scented with the warm, spicy aromas like Cinnamon Bark or Cassia, or seasonal Harvest Spice essential oil.
Autumn Adventures – After returning home from an afternoon at the pumpkin patch, going on a hayride, or taking an autumn hike, make everyone’s hands toasty warm with these simple and functional DIY Hand Warmers. To get in the fall festive spirt, swap the suggested Adaptiv™ blend with your favourite seasonal scents, like, Siberian Fir or doTERRA Passion®.

Along with enjoying the cool fall breeze and the colourful autumn leaves, allow the scents of some of our favourite essential oils elevate all your fall activities and traditions.
