Quick and Easy DIY Car Air Freshener Hack

I use a vent clip air freshener in my car keep the inside of my car from stinking up the joint in between cleanings. My personal go-to is t his Fabreeze car vent air freshener , but I also love the scent of these Yankee Candle car vent air fresheners . Depending on availability and sales, I tend to switch between the two.( Disclosure: I am including affiliate links for your convenience .) I stumbled upon a killer deal on Yankee Candle Sidekick refills. Without hesitation, I snatched them up, even though I didn't have the matching holder (the Sidekick air freshener looks like this ). My brilliant plan was to simply stick the refill in the car vent, similar to the air freshener sticks that look like this . It sorta worked but mostly didn’t. 

About Me

Hi, my name is Lisa and I am a foodie. I wasn't always this way. I grew up with most meals made from ingredients from a box or a can. When I ventured out on my own, I had to learn how to cook because if I relied on what I had learned in 8th grade Home Ec class I would be eating nothing but soupy quiche and Snickerdoodle cookies.

It was worth all of those trials and errors and still more errors. Now I cook most of my meals from scratch and they are delicious! And guess what? My health improved AND my food bill went down. I truly believe you can eat healthy on a budget.

So where does the lazy part come into play? Well, even though my husband and I like cooking from scratch we don't have a whole lot of time in the evenings to make 17 ingredient, 4 hour cooking time meals. I constantly rely on my household servants Mr. Breadmaker, Mrs. Slow Cooker, and sometimes in a pinch to defrost something Ms. Microwave.

I also am too lazy to jump in the car and drive to the store to buy a box mix that a recipe calls for so I make my own from scratch. It's not that hard if you have a couple of good cookbooks at your disposal.

I also write a green home improvement blog Condo Blues. There I discuss green living, money saving tips, decorating, home improvement, and crafts.

Joining my one this journey are my Husband and my one eyed rescue Pekingese Blitzkrieg. He likes carrots. The dog I mean.Although I think my husband likes carrots too.
