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.

This would be awesome to win!!! I love anything to delete stress
I’d love to try these oils! I love stress away and lime when I need to feel uplifted!!
My go to oil is Stress Away. The smell takes me to my happy place and I feel so much better after I use it.
I love Peace & Calming! It is my favorite, but I also diffuse Release from time to time.
Thank you for all the information! I am just discovering all the amazing things essential oils can do!
During the day, my go to oils for peace and calming are Stress Away and Vetiver. I keep a bottle of each by my desk at work. At night, I diffuse Lavender, Cedarwood, and Peace and Calming. My pup likes T-Away for a calming scent, but her favorite is Peace and Calming. I’ve really wanted to try Valor because I’ve heard so much about it. I may be facing back surgery and I could use some courage. The other oils also seem like ones I would like to add to my collection.
I’m fairly new to Young Living and so far I have used and really love Valor. Eventually, I will aquire the others by adding them to my inventory. However, I would love a hug from some Sacred Mountain or Present Time or Gathering or Release or Hope right now. And winning any of them would be fantastic!
Thank you

Hi, I’ve heard Frankincense is great.
Cedarwood, Lavendar and Peace and Calming are my favorites to diffuse at bedtime! Love it!
Working from home, taking care of household chores, making breakfast, lunch and dinner for the little ones, I often feel the stresses of everyday life. Prayer with the combination of valor calms me and gives me the courage to continue doing what I love and enjoying the moments I have this stage in life.
Gentle baby is peaceful and calming. Somewhere inside even us grownups there is a child at heart.
I diffuse Peace & Calming, Cedarwood, and Stress Away every single night. If I’m traveling, my diffuser and oils go with me. I simply can’t stand to go to bed without these diffusing right near my face. I love the smell and I can feel my body just start to relax once I’m in bed. My mind doesn’t keep running circles, it simply powers down so that I can enjoy an absolutely wonderful night’s sleep.
do you diffuse them together? I often mix P&C with cedarwood
Hello Kim, These blends are great on their own, but it would be personal preference. Thanks for stopping by!
I want a Young Living hug 😍🤗
I enjoy using Joy and lavender to bring peace and a feeling of calm. Thank you for the information!
I have 4 bottles of lavender :) in the car, at work, home and purse. In this stressful world of always on the go it is nice to take it down a notch and enjoy the little things. Lavender allows me to do that. I would love to try these 4 amazing blends. Hugs in a bottle = more hugs I can give out 💜
Valor is my favorite. It helps me feel grounded and confident.
As for the others, I have not purchased those yet… If I do not receive one of them as a gift I will slowly incorporate them into my orders…
Thank you for the opportunity I have to possibly win a bottle of an oil I have never had and God Bless.

For peace and comfort, I love using joy over the heart, white Angelica to ward off negative energy, and valor for courage. Definitely a fan of peace and calming!! I have always wanted to try the others mentioned. They are on my wish list!!
Valor, frankincense, Cedarwood, and peace and calming are my go-to oils for mood. I would love to try these other oils. I definitely need a hug and a bottle I had two close friends pass a week apart this last week.
I love Sacred Mountain! It’s diffusing right now!
My favorites for peace and calming are just that peace and calming, Valor and a little bit of orange! Tranquil to help sleep! YL is the best!
I love Valor! Haven’t tried any of the others but thank you for the info on them!

Thank you so much for the information about these oils. The more I learn about the oils the I wish I had started learning about them years ago. I would really appreicate the opportunity to win these oils, I have not tried them yet.
Valor is my absolute favorite!! I made a roller containing valor mixed with some coconut oil and I wear it every day!
Oh, how I love Valor! I rub a couple of drops on my hands and inhale before tackling a daunting task.
I am fairly new to Young Living essential oils but I am continuing to learn more and more about these great oils and the healthy benefits they provide for our health naturally! I would love to win some of these and try them out!
Peace and Calming, Stress Away, Tangerine, and Lavender are my favorites that I use to give me a spiritual pick-me-up, and I add prayer to it.
I love learning all about the different qualities & uses for thes wonderful oils and what is in them. Young Living is pne of my favorite products.
I am brand new to Young Living and essential oils. I am very excited about learning all I can. I’ve been amazed so far with the different oils that I have tried. I’m sure this will be a lifelong obsession.
I love peace & calming!!
I don’t have any of these EOs yet, but hope to have them someday. I use Peace & Calming and Stressaway to help with peace and comfort
I scanned for Gathering and have been using it in place of perfume ever since. It is my favorite oil. It gets me through my crazy busy day job.
Hugs are always healing! Love all the many benefits of Young Living oils. I look forward to expanding my collection and trying new ones each month. Lavender and En Dr Gee are everyday musts for me.
After struggling with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness for years I’ve found that Joy is sooo emotionally uplifting and, since I’ve run out, I would LOVE to add these oils to my kit for extra emotional support! It would be a blessing to win these!!
I would love to win. Several of these are on my wish list.
Frankincense and Cedarwood are my favorite, I am new to oil’s so I am looking forward to trying Valor and sacred Mountain they are my list to purchase!
These are fantastic oils! So grateful for the changes in my emotional and physical health since joining Young Living!
I like Joy, every time i smell it it is like a HUG of comfort.
That is an awesome giveaway! Love my essential oils😀
Who couldn’t use a good hug :) I am fairly new to using essential oils and have not had a chance to try many of the blends that weren’t included in the starter kit. I love lavender and frankincense for calming! I would love to try these blends!
Stress Away is my go to blend to make things all better again. Works for my dogs too.
Peace and Calming is my go to for a pick me up or bring me back from the frustration. Valor is another oil I hoard! I keep this by my bed too. Such a calming, comforting scent. Any of the pine, woodsy scents bring me a peaceful, relaxing feeling and images of lush, green scenery of the woods. Many amazing choices!
