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 and would love to try all the oils that qualify as a hug in a bottle. I shared this post with a friend that lost her cat today, I hope she has one of these oils in her collection.
Love Release. Mixed with peace & calming, it really helps to calm the soul and sooth my emotions.
I love using Sacred Mountain when I'm blue and feel negative emotions around me or in my home... it gives me a sense of peace and divine pres
I love Hope. I use it topically around the edges of the top of my ear lobes.
I can't even explain how much oils have helped invite positive feelings and even encouraged feelings of hope and strength. White Angelica and Peace & Calming are definitely two favorites. Lavender, Orange, and Cypress in the diffuser are pretty amazing as well!
I love using Valor or Peace & Calming. Also, grapefruit--something about diffusing this is relaxing to me!
What an important post for me right now. I have just gone back to working in a busy and extremely stressful emergency department after having my baby. I am familiar with oils but new to YL and what has drawn me to really reaping the benefits of oils are these difficult emotions that have arisen since birth and transitioning back to work full time (and grad school). These descriptors were so helpful and I'm excited to put them on my ER order next month! Thank you!
Would love to try these! I am new to Essential oils and have only tried Lavender!
I'm very new to YLEO. I received my kit less than a month ago. As far as peace and comfort go, I'm loving the Stress Relief and Lavender so far. I just signed up for ER and ordered Peace and Calming II - looking forward to trying it. Other than what I just mentioned there are NUMEROUS oils and blends on my wish list Joy, Valor, Brain Power....maybe I should make it easier and just say I want one of everything!!
I'd love to win, who doesn't like a hug😉, Valor is in my August ER order 😀
