If you've ever grown fresh herbs, you know that some plants just grow and grow?sometimes faster than you can eat them. Thankfully, eating them isn't the only thing you can do. Consider using fresh aromatic herbs like basil and rosemary as an all-natural air freshener for your car or another small space.
This tip comes to us from the folks at Stylist, which suggests using Basil to freshen your car by putting some fresh basil leaves on a piece of newspaper and just letting it dry itself out in the back of your car. The windows make it a natural greenhouse, so as the basil dries, the delicious smell will spread through your vehicle?it's much better than the gym socks in the backseat or the lingering smell of fast food from your last McDonald's stop.
The idea got us thinking though: why stop with basil? Rosemary, tarragon, and thyme are just as aromatic, and can work just as well. Plus, there's no reason to stop with your car: as long as you have a space that will get some light (and therefore heat), the herbs will dry nicely and smell great. Put a few leaves on some newspaper and rest them on your windowsill in your home office, and you'll have a natural air freshener that's perfect for small spaces (large spaces need not apply, obviously.) Just be careful, the smell might make you hungry.
