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 Stress Away. I also put Peace and Calming on dryer balls for my clothes. But always looking to try new oils to help with everyday comfort.
Thank you for this wonderful information. My daughter who is 8 months pregnant just went through one of those days where she really needed a hug. I love that I can give her an essential oil to help with that.
I love the feeling of Valor!! It makes me soooo Happy!!
I love using stress away to calm me. It works before, during or after times of stress and tension. I would really like to try sacred mountain -it's been on my wish list. Valor is one of my favorites- it both calms and uplifts me! Thank you YL! 💙
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sacred Mountain. To me it helps to calm and relax more than the Stress Away. I always have it in my diffuser in my bedroom during the evening to help us unwind and sleep peacefully.
I love Stress Away . Also love to combine Believe and Valor.
I really like diffusing Peace and Calming or Stress Away and Lavender to make my mind shut off so I can fall asleep.
Love Peace and Calming, Stress Away, Lavender and Valor
