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.

My go to oils lately is Joy and release, and I wear stress away on my bracelet and peace and calming on my necklace as needed.. I love my oils and I see a big difference if I go without them, ( which I never want to go without them again) y.l.e.o. has changed my life.
Release has been a godsend to me!I diffuse that while I sleep during particular times of high-stress, and I always wake up a little lighter. I would add Inner child to the above list of hugs in a bottle. Present Time is my perfume!!
I am so in love with Valor! I have been using Sacred Mountain a lot lately too! Love YLEO!!! The oils and products make life so much better!
Just got the gathering and oh my! That brings peace to mind. At least I get clear that I want my hug:-)
I've been wanting some of these! I've used valor before and it's great for relaxing! I like to put it a rice sock with lavender and heat it up for my shoulders also.
I am new and so far have loved my Stress Away and sample packets of the Peace and Calming. I'm also a sucker for a simple Lavender diffused or just rubbed on my temples and at the base of my neck. I'm always looking for something new to try and use on myself and my family.
I love the beautiful woodsy scent of Sacred Mountain and Valor is my go to morning oil. I use it before any others. Once Valor is on I let the oils tell me which ones I am also using. I've not tried Gathering or Hope, looking forward to adding them to my arsenal.
Valor is such a special blend for me, as is Sacred Mountain. I like to diffuse Sacred Mountain when it is too hot for me to practice yoga outside. And I use Valor after private sessions, when I know my clients need a little extra pick me up....
I love to diffuse Stress Away before bedtime or sometimes mix lavender with cederwood. Our children love it!
Peace and Calming will always be so close to my heart when it comes to relaxation oils 💙 I can't get over that sweet smell! This month on my ER I'll also be trying Awaken! I'm so excited to try another new oil! 😍
