Hug in a bottle: An essential oil guide to uplift and inspire

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: a hug for comfort

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.

 

Present Time: a hug for gratitude

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!

 

Release: a hug for liberation

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.

Grounding: a hug from Mother Nature

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.

 

Hope: a hug for optimism

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.

 

Peace & Calming: a hug for calm

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.

Gathering: a hug for connection

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 NEED to get the new valor!! Thank you so much on all of these oils! I am always looking for new ways I can support my emotions and oils are at the top of my list!

  • Some of these are my favorite oils!!! I haven't tried Hope or Release. I'll have to add those to my Essential Rewards order. 😊 I just scanned for Palo Santo over the weekend. I definitely need it. That scan brought me to tears because my sweet dog of almost 15 years recently passed away and I used to use Palo Santo to help calm her, even on her last day of life. 😢 I am so thankful to have these oils for my family. They've been an incredible blessing. ❤

  • I love to use lavender with a lot of different oils. I've been working on building up my collection and I've been eyeing those freebie oils for a while.

  • When I need a pick me up,I use Bergamot, Lime, and Black Pepper. That blend is SO cheerful and reminds me of summer. Summer is a happy time for me ALWAYS. So, it gets me out of my funk (especially during the dreary, cold winter).

  • I love love love my jade lemon and northern lights black spruce for peace and comfort <3

  • My family has experienced several trials over the past few years. We've faced struggle, and lack, and overwhelming pressure. We've always pulled through, but sometimes it's left our hearts heavy. I bring my Valor to work with me every day to remind me of how far I've come, and how far I still have left to go.

  • Just placed my EO order and wished I had read this before I ordered. Sacred Mountain and Gathering will be on my next order!

  • Besides loving Valor, Sara and Surrender are two oils I find myself reaching for at night. Those two often make it into my overnight diffuser and have made such a huge different in my outlook each morning.

  • I LOVE the Awaken oil! I use it as a perfume, and it helps me be crystal clear throughout my workday!
