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 Release! It smells great and helps me wind down at night.
I Love Joy and Stress Away for especially tough days. They work so well at bringing me peace and comfort!
I am fairly new to YL oils.My next oil to order is Valor. I love Lavender,(so relaxing), Melrose, Frankincense. and Tangerine. My diffuser in the living room is Tangerine and Lemon , the bedroom Lavender. I would LOVE to win these oils and add them to my growing collection.
My peaceful hug is from White Angelica.
I would love a YL Hug right now!
I have used Peace & Calming 2 also diffuse Lavender plus have used Stress away during my work days. I have noticed that my work day has been more relaxed then other days I don't use the oil. I haven't tried Valor yet or any of these yet, they are on my list though to get. Everyone needs a HUG!
I LOVE Sara and Forgiveness when I need comfort, and Valor is one of my favorites.
I'm a relative newcomer to YL and essential oils and depend heavily on the oils in the Premium Starter Kit, especially Lavender and StressAway. I've also invested in Peace & Calming and Valor II, both of which have been so helpful in my struggle with anxiety. Oddly enough (or maybe not odd at all?), I have found the trifecta of Grounding, Clarity, and Motivation to be the most settling oils for me. I would love to try the original Valor and as many of Young Living's oils as I possibly can. They are life changers!
I love the stress away oil.
Peace and Calming is my all-time favorite but Valor is RIGHT behind it. Both blends have such a calming, grounding energy. Can never have enough of either!
