Introducing Febreze Fall Home Harvest Collection – #FebrezeFall

P1280487c

The Fall Season is just around the corner!  Even though Fall officially starts on September 22, 2014 it is already starting to cool down in our area.  The leaves are falling, apples are ripening, and animals are scurrying around to finish stocking up for the cooler months.  Recently we received a package and this adorable barn was inside from Febreze, Walmart, and SheSpeaks!  Let’s just say the kids were as excited about seeing the barn box as I was about getting all the amazing fall Febreze scents and goodies!

One of my favorite parts about Fall is all the amazing Fall smells from toasted nuts, pumpkins, fall harvest, apple picking, pears baking, and more amazing scents of the season.  What are your favorite Fall Scents?  Febreze has come out with their Fall Home Harvest Collection!  Have you already tried the Febreze Home Harvest Collection?  If not it is a great way to get you ready for the upcoming Fall season!  They have some perfect Fall scents to get your house and car ready!  Some of the scents you might want to check out this Fall season are Vanilla Latte, Autumn Harvest, Spiced Pear, Toasted Almond, Sugared Cranberry, and more.

We opened up our Febreze Fall Home Home Collection barn box and were pleasantly surprised with all the cool scents, goodies, and activities included.  What a great way to get excited and prepared for the Fall Season!  Febreze truly eliminates odors so your guests will only notice the freshness of fall when they enter your home.

We received a Febreze NOTICEables Warmer with two NOTICEables NOTABLES.  One was the Autumn Harvest which is a blend of sandalwood and chai – smells amazing!  The other NOTICEables NOTABLES was the Vanilla Latte which is a blend of vanilla and sugar – absolutely love the smell of this one!  Reminds me of a fresh hot cup of coffee on a cool Fall day!  Febreze even took care of bringing Fall to our car!  They sent us a Febreze Car Toasted Almond vent clip which lasts up to 30 days and smells delicious!  Even the teachers have commented that they really like the scent when I pick the kids up in car line at school.

Febreze Fall Home Harvest Collection

We are already enjoying the Febreze NOTICEables Warmer with NOTICEables NOTABLES Vanilla Latte!!!   Makes the house smell amazing!  Do you like having a different fall scent in each room or one scent filling the whole home?

One of the recipes that Febreze included that will make your house smell like Fall – Oven Baked Smores:

Febreze Fall Home Harvest Collection

What you need:  A graham cracker, marshmallow, and chocolate bar per Smore and an appropriate baking sheet to fit all the Smores you are making.

P1280767c

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Place graham crackers on a baking sheet.

3.  Press marshmallows between your fingers to make them a little flat, then place them on the graham crackers.

4.  Bake until the marshmallows have puffed up and the edges turn a light, caramel brown color.

5.  Remove tray from oven, and firmly press a piece of chocolate down into the marshmallow.  You want the warmth of the marshmallow to melt the chocolate.  Enjoy!

Delicious Oven Baked Smores!  You can put another graham cracker on top if you want as well.  You can probably use a little less chocolate too, but we enjoy the extra sweetness!

Febreze Fall Activities – Whistle with an Acorn Top

P1280757c

What you need:  An acorn top.  I recommend washing your acorns with water first to make sure they are clean and bug free.

P1280761c

 

Directions (once your acorn is washed):  

1.  Make a fist with your hands, then place your hands together with your fingers touching.

2.  Place the acorn top on the top of your index finger.

3.  Put your thumbs on top of the acorn top, angling them so that the tips of your thumbs make a “V” shape.

4.  Blow over the top of your thumbs, and you’ll hear a whistle!

Our whole family tried the various acorn tops for whistles.  Jake won the contest for the the loudest and most shrill whistle!  These were a little more difficult than we expected, but if you got your fingers and acorn top just right you can get a really loud whistle which brings smiles to the kids faces.    Do you have any of the great scentspiration activities you would like to share?

Febreze Fall Home Decor – Acorn Centerpiece

P1280787c

What you need:  Acorns, leaves or flowers or ribbons, a vase, Febreze Air Effects

Directions:

1.  Gather lots of acorns.

2.  Take the vase of any shape and size and fill it to the top with acorns.

3.  Add colorful leaves or flowers if you want to cover the top of vase.

4.  Lightly spray the top of the arrangement with your favorite scent from the Febreze Fall Harvest Collection for a unique final touch, and then put it on display.
