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.

Would absolutely love to try these. Just started using Young Living in April and really been trying to slowly introduce new oils in our lives.
So thankful I found this post. The past year has been a roller coaster mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Now I know which blends I need to get and for what purpose.
Would love to try it!
Stress away all the way!! My grounding in a bottle! Literally within minutes I feel eased!
I think I will hug away today!
This sounds wonderful. I think I need each of these! Been a hectic week! Looking forward to getting into YL more and more :)
Valor, Peace and Calming, and Joy are my go to oils when I'm in a funk and need a pick me up. I like to wear valor on my wrists and temples, and Joy over my heart. Often I'll diffuse peace and calming so everyone in the house benefits from it! Love young living!
I'm currently defusing lime, lavender and peppermint. Very relaxing to me and my kids. I have a 3 year old with autism spectrum disorder and I use oils on her all the time!
I recently was able to purchase a bottle of valor and I am in love!!!!
Release was another exciting oil to experience.
I like to use Stress Away behind my ears or on my wrist to melt away my worries and a spray of lavender in the evening for relaxation.
