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 diffuse lavender and cedarwood they are very calming for me.
I love stress away applied on the back of my neck and across my shoulders when I have had a stressful day and I can't seem to release any of the negative feelings.
I have become a huge fan of Valor! I used it once for my anxiety ridden dog when I had run out of peace and Calming and was very surprised at how this oil made all of us feel! I also have Sacred Mountain, and was not aware that it could be used for some of the same things as White Angelica which has been out of stock for a while now, so I will be using Sacred Mtn more due to this information provided.
I have not tried Valor, Present Time or Sacred Mountain, what a fantastic giveaway! I would feel so blessed to win such a fantastic prize!
Harmony is one of my favorites to open chakras, and to support emotional and spiritual health. I like to apply 1-2 drops over the solar plexus (area just below center of your ribcage) and diffuse at night. Just learned its supposed to be good for cravings... I'll have to keep some in my purse so I always have it available to inhale whenever needed!
Valor is one of my favorites. I have never tried the other two. So many oils...so little time...
Who doesn't need a hug on a bad day? ❤️
Anything citrus, ylang ylang, sandalwood. xo
These all sound wonderful. The last few days I have been diffusing joy and spearmint. Love it!
I do use Valor to help instill that extra confidence! So happy to have Young Living in my life.
