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.

So many great oils but Peace and Calming is my go to fave!
Bergamot is my go to along with stress away.
I would love to have the hug oils...
I love a combination of Ylang Ylang, Bergamot and Citrus Fresh. Would love to try the oils in the giveaway!
I love Friends! It can calm me down in minutes. I use Lemon daily in my water. Thieves is great when I have a sore throats.
I LOVE all of these. Young Living has been a blessing to supporting my emotional wellness. I don't know what I did without all of these blends. Currently have Sacred Mountain in the diffuser!
I love a Valor hug for calming myself when I teach a new class.
Mmmm these blends are incredible.. some of my favorites! I also LOVE the saying "hug in a bottle"!!!
I love to use Stress Away for quick tension relief any where and have been known to walk around my department offering a sniff to relax us all on high tension days (everyone loves it). Peace and Calming I love to use in the evening for me and my dog to help calm us down before bed.
I use the the citrus oils like bergamot, orange and grapefruit a lot to help uplift. Also love using Joy over my heart and valor for those more trying situations!
