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 have been clinging to Valor and harmony the last couple of days. Frankincense added in, too, when I need to focus. I'm so grateful for my oils when I need a lift!!
I love that I can hug my oils and they can hub me back;) Just fell in love with Inner Child!
The last 4 nights I have used Valor to relax for bed. It has been wonderful! Great nights rest! I love peace and calming, peppermint and eucalyptus, and stress away as well! My husband uses the oils just as much as I do! Thanks Young Living!
Thank you for the info on these oils. Valor is a wonderful one for me!
LOVE HUGS! and all of the oils. A great day is when I come home to a surprise package from Young Living. I almost give the box a big hug!
I would love to have a Young Living hug and also share it with my mother.
This is a helpful list! Adding some of these to my ER list :)
I love Peace and Calming for relaxation, and lavender and cedarwood to help calm down at the end of a stressful day!
Peace and calm is our current favorite in the house! Even my kids request it for when they are studying and especially at night as we sleep. Of course lavendar and cedarwood are part of our night time diffusing. Its doing wonders for us!! Thanks YL!
I love Valor and use it every night with Lavender. I'm excited to learn more about the other oils you mentioned. Thanks for giving us such great information and great products!
