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 just became a member today, and this was a huge jump for me. I have the tendency to need to research everything to death. I've "stalked" my oily friends and their classes, and I know I just needed to give oils a personal try to create my own story. I'm excited to see what a difference they will make in my families health and vitality. To me, this is huge...and I could probably use a "Valor Hug" right about now. :)
I use valor for relaxing after a long day. Peace and calming is my favorite for sleeping soundly. Stress Away is also one I like for winding down.
Use Stress Away and Lavender Daily before bed to wind down after a long day. Have Valor on my list for next month and recommended it to a friend that has a fear of failure and is afraid to try new things in hopes it will calm her.
Valor, frankincense, abundance and lavender are favorites. Quick sniff of the oils give me the pick me up needed to finish the work day.
A hug from gentle baby. It is like a newborn smell.

I love Valor, Gathering and Present Time. I use them when I go out places as my perfume and I always get such great compliments.
For me, Northern Lights Black Spruce is definitely my go to oil for ALL emotional support! I prefer to wear it on my chest, over my heart and on my wrists! It's truly amazing to me just how grounding and stabiliazing this wonderfully smelling oil really is! The confidence and positivity that come with it is phenomenal!
I am new to YL and already feel my life has been so enhanced by what I am discovering and the oils I am using. Look forward to expanding my collection and horizons.
Would enjoy all of them.
