Spring Cleaning is in FULL effect (and probably a little bit of nesting going on over here too!). And I’ll be doing a FULL Spring Cleaning post next week on how to DETOXIFY your home.
However, this week I want to shed light on a company called The Simmer Company. The Simmer Company is a line of all natural, non-toxic simmering potpourri, individually packaged with a variety of blends of dried fruits, herbs, and spices.
I think a common misconception about going “green” and “nontoxic” is that you have to eliminate your home of all the good stuff and be left with a sterile environment with plain white walls, “minimalist style”.
This is NOT TRUE AT ALL. You can still fill your home with lots of beautiful candles and scents without it being a chemical haven. That’s why when I stumbled upon The Simmer Company, I knew I had to share them with YOU!
In fact, simmering potpourri has many benefits, but the most important is that it releases NO chemicals into the home. All ingredients are natural and biodegradable.
Many wall plug ins, toxic candles and the like begin releasing toxins the second they are lit or plugged in.
The Simmer Company potourri is unique because it simmers on the stovetop instead of simply sitting in a decorative bowl. Simmering the potpourri releases a more potent fragrance (it is also looks beautiful in the pot and is a unique gift idea).
All one has to do in order to simmer the potpourri is simply empty a simmer pack into a pot, cover with water, boil, then simmer for up to 8 hours!
Currently they have the follow scents up on their website at www.thesimmercompany.com:
Lemon+lavender+rosemary
Rosebud+bayleaf+lavender
Hibiscus + lavender
Lemon + orange
French oak + clove + Tahitian vanilla
Pineapple + coconut
DOESN’T EACH AND EVERY SCENT SOUND DREAMY?!
Simmer packs are a unique housewarming, hostess, or birthday gift. They look beautiful while simmering and are a perfect final touch of fragrance for a cocktail party or having guests over.
