A Happy Accident

The other day, PJ accidentally spilt some diffuser oil over in our bathroom.

But not just any diffuser oil, our favorite ever: White Cypress by Lauren Liess. She sent it to us over two years ago and it’s been in our bathroom ever since. It smells so good! It has notes of cedarwood, moss and cucumber, which might just be the most heavenly combination ever.

So he hit it and knocked it over by accident, not breaking it, but spilling quite a bit. He mopped it up with a spare towel that was in the dirty clothes and that was that.

Well, when it was time to do towels, I just threw them all in the washing machine, not thinking anything of it. But then when I got them out of the dryer, they all smelled like the diffuser and suddenly I’m wondering if I should put a little into every load? I washed them over a week ago and they all still smell so delicious. I never want the scent to go away. Every time I get out of the shower and bury my face into one of the towels, I instantly feel like I’m staying at a boutique hotel or a luxurious spa.

I love happy accidents like this. Thanks, PJ!!
