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 to diffuse Peace & Calming with Valor and Lavender in the evening. Release with Northen Lights Black Spruce. Joy and Purification are also uplifting! Really looking forward to trying all of these blends suggested!! Thanks YL for these amazing blessings called essential oils!
Stress away has done wonders for me.
Sleeping restfully is so wonderful and no neck pain to wake me up.
Valor is next on my wish list. I love the Peace and Calming blend.
My favorites for peace and comfort are Valor, Peace and Calming and Stress Away!! I will like to try Hope blend!! 🙌🏻
I've experienced most of those blends. My favorite is Sacred Mountain. I love the peace and calming it brings to my busy days.
All of these are some of my favorite blends. Everyone needs a hug every once in a while!
Love Valor and I definitely need Release to unload my feelings. I always keep them bottled up. Release would be great to use!
I need all the courage, love, hugs, peace and comfort possible! <3
I haven't tried many of these blends, but my go-to for relaxing is lavender. 😀
