Super quick DIY tip of the day. If you have issues with your bathroom smelling as lovely as you imagine it should, or have at least one boy in the house- then this is a great tip for you!
Just take your TP, and your favorite essential oil (I like geranium or lavender for the bathroom- but any will do). Put two drops of your essential oil inside the cardboard roll of your TP, and voila- instant air freshener every time someone uses the roll!
Takes about 10 seconds, and smells of pure loveliness with no harsh chemicals are involved. Now all you need to do to enjoy your time in the “ladies room” is to lock the door, and pretend you don’t hear your children banging on the door and screaming to be let in.
Note… I saw this on a website months ago, but now I can’t find it to link to. Sorry anonymous blogger! Thanks for the idea!

great idea!
That is such a great idea!!!
Will remember this tip, Thanks!
now how to get my 8year old to flush the toilet so the bathroom isn’t full of ‘surprises’ when guests come over…
We’re still working on that one too!
We had this problem too. We imposed a $1 fine everytime the toilet wasn’t flushed and so then our 8 year old became the toilet flush cop of the house…she had to pay a $1 fine once and so did her Dad…we put the $1 bills on the fridge as a visual reminder and those were the only fines ever paid….she still talks about that fine
That’s is such a simple but great idea!
Thanks!
We were having that trouble with my almost 13 year old grandson…made him do the poop patrol in the yard…if someone else has to look at his then he can look at the dog’s! It worked so far!

I love essential oils and they are a delight to have. Thank you for sharing your wonderful tip with us at Healthy 2Day Wednesday! Hope to see you again next week. Blessings!
I just so happen to have both of those items in my travel trailer, so I’m going to do that right now!! YAY!! Thanks for the tip!! Way cool!!
what a great idea! I’ve done it for years with the smelly perfume samples in magazines, but since my interests don’t include those types of magazines, I haven’t done it in a while. Now to find a roll of tp…
What a great idea. I’ve just redsicovered my essential oils. Have had them on a shelf for about 15 years. Always have known they were there. Just kind of getting into it again. Can’t wait to try this little trick as I have 4 sons and a husband!!
What an easy and great idea! I love it!
Love it!
What a great idea – must try this sometime!
I’m doing this right now! Four boys share one bathroom, enough said.
