Gave this little trick a try a few nights after I tried the oranges, should have stuck with the oranges!!!
I followed the instructions exactly, and I suppose this is where smell-o-vision would come in extremely handy because.....
It stunk.
I mean, STUNK! I could hardly air the house out fast enough as soon as the vanilla began heating up.
Perhaps I should have cleaned the oven first, but it's really not that bad to cause this smell or else it would smell terrible whenever I turned it on!
I am warning you now, you can try it if you want but I would wait until the weather is nice enough to open the windows, because if your experience is anything like mine, you will be airing it out!
We were having company over a few months ago and I am always using those Scentsy wax warmers, candles and plug-ins. Seems like I need one in every room, the scent just never carries the way I would like.
I saw this on Pinterest and thought, hey I have oranges and cinnamon, might as well give this a try.
The recipe for a Heavenly Smelling House is very simple. Boil orange peels with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon on Medium heat.
This did make my house smell nice, mostly in the kitchen and living room, which are connected, but even faintly in our bedroom. I was pleased with the results.
However, I must not have used enough water and after an hour of the peels boiling most of the water had evaporated and caused a sticky mess in the bottom of the pan. Burning cinnamon doesn't really smell that grand.
That was my error though, and I want make sure you all have the information that I didn't.
I suggest using a large pan with plenty of water and perhaps more cinnamon for a more concentrated scent since more water will dilute the smell-good effects this really does have.
