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.

Tangerine, Lemongrass and Joy diffused together is my go-to combination!
I have only used Valor, love the smell at night on my feet and in the morning inhaled. I cant waite to try the other ones. This is exciting wow!
Valor is my "amazing". I could use it every day but I have to dole it out. I have a sample of sacr. mt that I sniff regularly. I'm still new to it. Love this!!
I love Valor, calms and relaxes me. and I just love the smell!
Wow! So many oils, so little time! I just tried Valor and love it, esp. like the blue color. I used it for "Stop the Snore", and it's working. Will try it with Lavender next:) Can't wait to try Present Time and Gathering and Sacred Mountain!!!
I grew up with lavender plants around my grandma's home, and a lemon tree near her back door - now those oils are extremely calming and comforting for me. Stress Away, Peace and Calming, Joy, Christmas Spirit and Clove are also peaceful oils for me!
All these oils sound so wonderful. I am new on my journey with essential oils but already love everything I've tried. Thank you for the knowledge of each of these oils.

Stress Away is my go to in times of high stress, but would love to try these! Especially the Release, I need to let some things go that affect me daily
I love StressAway! Out of my starter kit, my other favorites are, lemon, lavender, and copaiba :)
I would love you try Release. I need to let go of past 6 years. Lots of stress. I love peace & calming, lavendar and frankencense and cedarwood. Just joined YL and am still trying to discover what works.
