DIY Gel Air Freshener

I know that it's been awhile, but I'm back.  Part of the reason is for being sick and the other part is for trying to figure out what I want to take on as a challenge.

I already tried an air freshener that didn't work so why not try another.

Directions
All you need is:
2 Envelopes unflavored Gelatin 
1tsp or more of some perfume or other fragrance
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup ice cold water
Food coloring 
A small jar like a jelly or baby food jar

Mix the gelatin and hot water in a bowl until the gelatin in dissolved. Stir in Fragrance and food coloring, then the ice water. let set in a cool place. ( do not put it in the frige)  


My Thoughts
It smells great, when you put your nose to it.  I would assume that's the essential oil that I chose.  I cannot even smell it about 6 inches away.  It definitely will not scent up a room.  Oh well.  I guess it's just easier to buy air fresheners.

My Picture

Yeah I went ghetto and put it in tupperware.  I figured there was no point in making it look nice if I don't know how it's going to turn out.

My Leave of Absence

I haven't posted in awhile due to the fact that I've been sick.  I'm being treated for Lyme disease and I'm still awaiting the test results.

I have been looking up stuff on Pinterest but I've been having trouble figuring out what would be good to test.  I seem to keep seeing the same pins and nothing that's catching my eye to test.  There is a homemade pore strip that I would like to try but I need to by plain gelatin and I haven't found it yet.

So I'm asking you what you would like to see tested.  If there's a pin that you are curious about, please let me know and I'll see about testing it.
