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.

Hope, Present Time, Release, Gathering, Sacred Mountain, Valor - out of all these I have only experienced the strength of Valor. I would love to win all of these wonderful Young Living essential oils!
I am new to oiling, and I am in love with diffusing every oil in the kit so far! Valor is on my list of wants and maybe needs! LOL
Stress Away to get me through the day. At bedtime I diffuse Patchouli, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and Orange.
I love Valor for the wonderful scent. I rubbed it on the bottom of my feet this morning as I will be going back to work after a few extra days off. Valor will make me feel as if I can conquer anything (even a desk piled high with work). Stress Away is also a go too when we are having a meeting at work. I diffuse Stress Way to keep --- Stress Away. It works great and smells AWESOME.
I love to use Vetiver and Believe together as a perfume, always makes me feel peaceful and full of gratitude. When I wear it people always comment on how good I smell and want to know what I am wearing
I love to put Valor on my neck at night. Smells so good! I love Lavender on my face! My face feels amazing! I love diffusing purfication, citrus fresh and a couple of drops of peppermint for a great start in the morning. This trio delivers freshness throughout my home. All of these are my peace and comfort!
I love the smell and feeling of Release. I have Valor II but need to try the reformulated Valor.
I'd like to try diffusing Gathering at our fellowship group or in my ladies' Bible study class.
I'm new to Young Living and would enjoy trying out these oils! Love what I've tried so far!!!
I just received Hope in the mail and am looking forward to getting acquainted with it! Thanks for explaining the different oils.
