Some days your skies are clear, blue, and beautiful—and some days your picnic plans are interrupted with an unexpected storm warning. But don’t worry! Ruined plans can be a bummer, but the sun will come out again soon. In the meantime, try one of these essential oil blends that will remind you of getting a great, big hug!
SARA™ is a sweet blend of Geranium, Ylang Ylang, and Rose. Think of SARA as a big sister, ready to wrap you up in a quilt, hand you a cup of cocoa, and comfort you with compassion. Try rubbing a drop of this blend onto your wrists when you feel like you could use a listening ear. Dilute it with a few drops of a carrier oil to keep your skin happy.
If you have way too many alarms set on your phone, an ever-growing to-do list, or a pile of dirty dishes that keeps doubling in size, you might want to reach for Present Time™. Diffuse this delicate scent as you take a minute to reconnect with the present and let go of the expectations you have for yourself. Once you feel calmer, consider doing those dishes before the leftovers grow legs!
Ready to let go of some of the “nope” from your day? Throw on some jams, roll out your yoga mat, and diffuse Release™. After stretching out and focusing on your breathing, you might just feel like saying, “Heck yes!” instead.
Sometimes all we need is a little nature. Even if you can’t get outside, you can connect with your roots by taking a tech detox for a few hours while diffusing Grounding™. This blend of White Fir, Black Spruce, and Pine combines into a forest-inspired aroma. Close your eyes and breathe in the scent of the great outdoors as you enjoy some quiet time.
Looking for some sunshine? Try a little Hope™. While it can’t really change the weather, it might just be the bright spot on a dark day. This gentle blend can be added to a favorite lotion, diffused, or applied topically.
Couldn’t we all use a little more Peace & Calming® in our lives? This gentle blend is one of our most popular essential oil blends, and for good reason! Whether you need a bear hug or are trying to settle in for a night’s hibernation, diffusing this scent adds a special something to the end of a long day.
It can be hard to gather your thoughts after a long day. Or gather your family for dinner. Or gather strength to keep up on your goals. Sound familiar? Try diffusing Gathering™ as you turn daily chaos into calmness by journaling, meditating, or writing an award-worthy to-do list.

I love Valor. Looking forward to trying these Hugs in a bottle!!
I use valor in my necklace to help unwind from a long day at work. Love it!
I use stress away in my difusser every night. It relaxes me and helps me sleep. I love to share it with with my family and friends. It makes me feel good when someone isn't so sure about oils and then when i share my collection they want to know more! My kids love it so much they want their own collection!
After reading all the positive benefits about these oils, I would love to try them. I currently use Ylang Ylang and Stress Away to help with peace and comfort. When I'm teaching, I add several drops to my diffuser necklace and my kids (6th graders) want to sniff all day. :)
First, as a caregiver of our mature citizens, and then as a school bus driver, my go to oils are lavender, 2 drops rubbed between hands and inhaled, StressAway on the back of my neck and ear lobes, and Peace and Calming in the diffuser when I get home. This combo has gotten me through some pretty difficult times.
I just received my first bottle of Valor and love it! I'm fairly new to YL and can't get enough. These blends sound amazing!!
I have been using Lavender with Peace and Calming II. I sometimes diffuse this in my classroom as well, when my students are feeling especially stressed or anxious. I have been experiencing some significant anxiety recently, so I can't wait to try some of these oils.
Stress Away quickly became a favourite of mine when I needed a comforting boost, but the first time I tried Valor - wow! That stuff is AMAZING! I wear it daily in my diffuser bracelet and it has done wonders for my confidence levels. It is a worked day must have.
I found a mix of Frankincense, stress away and peace and calming (sometimes I add lavender) help me relax, especially at bed time.
I've never tried these blends. I'll have to do that.
I adore Valor and have to say it is my favorite oil. It brings me into a balance and helps to center me. I fell like the worries and cares of the world fall away around me. Cant be without it! And when I get a hug or give a hug people always say how wonderful I smell.
I use Valor daily by my computer and my daughter just loves her Sacred Mountain in her room.
