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.

Valor and lavender are my two besties!❤️
Stress Away.
Stress Away is one of my favorite oils to help me relax and stay centered!
Surrender is very relaxing for me.
I love vetiver!!
This is a great article! Another oil that I love for emotional support is Grounding. It helps me feel rooted in confidence and a greater sense of stability. Thank you for the knowledge!
Valor was my introduction to YLEOs and remains my "if I were ever lost on a desert island and could only have one oil..." I will never be without my Valor for sure! I also love the soothing effects of tranquil. That oil is it's name!
Thanks for the HUGS! I love Stress Away or Peace & Calming
Have been using my stress away for peace and comfort in the midst of everyday stress, and especially now as I am in the midst of a major transition of packing to relocate overseas. Would love to get to try Present time, hope, and release! They sound so awesome! :)
I love Ysop, i brings me back to my heart and from there on my entire being relaxes :) i love it, thanks for bringing the wisdom of nature through the oils to the people and us
