I’ve been after an essential oil diffuser for quite a while now. But I just can’t decide. I am getting worse with making decisions I think. I delay them, I put it off, I add it to my to-do list. But buying a diffuser is a commitment. I only need one and they are not cheap. It’s a big purchase. But it’s about time I stop deliberating and make the call.

I’m a daily candle and incense burning type of girl. I love the smell and the look of the candles burning as you walk in the front door, on the dinner table, on the coffee table or bedside. It is a true ambiance that the diffuser can’t replace.

Yet the long lasting smell of the essential oils is incredible, and they come with a timer. I need that. The number of times I leave candles burning throughout the night… but we won’t talk about that.

If you know me well you would have thought I would have one by now. I’m all about natural, simple and things looking and smelling pretty. But I'm also a perfectionist. Candles; you light a match, they burn and smell pretty. You can’t stuff it up. Diffusers require thinking about which essence you should diffuse and when. It involves more decision making that I struggle with. You need to carefully pour 3-5 drops of oil in. You have to plug them in. I know, I’m an over thinker.

I love beautiful things. That has also been part of my delay in purchasing one. I have been looking for the perfect white diffuser. No wood, no fancy colours, just all white. So I have finally narrowed it down to a few;
