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'd love some sacred mountain today!
This couldnt have come at a better time! It has been a rough week, I literally had to walk outside and take a quick break at work today just to cry. I plan to order release, hope, angelica and valor today!
oh man! Sad to have missed this.. this is one of THOSE weeks where I turn to tranquil.. and stress away.. which are always in my purse!!
Just love all the oils. How can I possibly pick my favorites. Stress Away, Pan Away, Rosemary, especially to rub in my hands after a day of crocheting and/or knitting. Eucalyptus in the diffuser at night... SILENCES my hubby LOUD snoring. I could go on and on. THANKS to the "oil" family!!!!
Love Love LOVE Stress Away! It is my go to oil. I also like to wear it as perfume. On occasion I will combine it with a little bit of Joy oil as well. The combo is very up lifting!
I love, love Valor! When I'm needing a confidence boost, I readily turn to Valor. Haven't yet tried the other oils listed in the blog entry, but I hope to soon.
I would love to try Valor, I have heard so many great things about it!
