Technically, yes, you can use tap water. Distilled water is preferred for two reasons. First, it's purified so you're getting a better quality of water in the spray that you are spraying where you sleep. Second, it will help keep your sprayer lasting longer because it won't cause build up like tap water can.
This relaxing mixture works great in a diffuser.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
