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.

My personal favorites to relax are lavender and wintergreen oils. I enjoy a drop or two of lavender on my face with my moisturizer and a drop or two of wintergreen on the bottoms of my feet.
I'd love to try some new ones!
I would love to win these oils. I had a very sad weekend after finding out about some hurtful things done to me. I turned to Valor, Joy, and Peace and Calming. I also received a bottle of Surrender from my Royal Crown Diamond in April from becoming a new member in March and it has given me peace and comfort as well. After reading this article, I will be purchasing Release. I need this now and in the future. Everyone needs to release every now and then:) I love my oils!!
Lavender and stress away when feeling 😩 . I rotate daily, Valor, Grounding, and Joy. Would love to try these Huggable oils.
I love Northern Lights Black Spruce and Sacred Mountain to calm down. The tree oils are so calming for me and they really help me through difficult times! Plus they're such comforting smells! ☺
During times when I need a little extra umph, I love using joy to help brighten up my mood. I also like to add a lavender to just calm myself down! What a difference!
I'm new to YL, but so far Lavender and Stress Away are two of my favs! I've been itching to try Valor!!
What a great blog! I love learning more and more about the oils and their benefits :)
I put in gratitude oil each morning while getting ready and remind myself of my many blessings!
Love YL. Want to try them all!!!
I love valor or peace and calming.
