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 like to use lavender, peace and calming 2 and stress away and my Valor and come Fourth of July when our dog was freaking out with the fireworks and stuff in her heart was pounding so hard and I thought it was going to she's going to end up having a heart attack I took the lavender , stress away, peace and calming and Valor and had 3 diffusers going in the house in 3 different rooms and then I took the same oils and put two drops of each in my hands and I rub them down her coat and put them on your paws and immediately she stopped huffing and puffing and relaxEd down and stuff so I'm glad I had my oils to help the dog through a very stressful time also I love Joy and ground too!
Some of the most amazing oils!! Feel in love with sacred mountian the min i smelled it!! So powerful!
I so need to do this sometimes. Life can be hard.

We love gentle baby for our preschoolers!
I love valor - but never thought of it as a hug in a bottle. Can't wait to try these others out.
I like to diffuse Peace & Calming with Stress Away when things get hectic.
I had never used the emotion type oils until recently. I didn't think I needed "that" kind of support. Boy oh boy was I wrong! Now that I have tried Valor on my wrist and motivation on the back of my neck for a pick me up when I just have the "don't wannas" with great results, I just ordered and received Believe (found out the tremendous support it gives at convention) and Abundance (our team is doing a challenge). I now know I wasted valuable time not tapping into these particular oils a long time ago!!! Valor is one of my favorites!!
Peace and Calming has always been my go to! I would love to try these mentioned and experience their beneficial qualities.
