All-Natural Scented Stove Top Potpourri Recipe

DIY Scented Stovetop Potpourri

After the holidays are over, I start to miss the smell of pine needles and cinnamon. So, each year, I put a little stove top potpourri together to bring in some of my favorite scents from the holidays.

There are lots of ways to change up the scents too, depending on your preference. You could add cranberries, cloves, nutmeg, etc. But this citrusy winter scent is what I decided to try this year, and it smells delicious.
