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 love an essential oil that will make me focus on what I need to do. I also like Lavender Essential Oil for relaxing. You have some interesting named essential oils which I would like to try.
Valor was my first love and still is
Valor, tranquil and tangerine are some of my favorites for calming down!
Thank you for the compiled list. It is VERY helpful!
I'd love to try any of these; I can always use a "hug."
Joy is my hug of the day, every day. I wear a drop on my wrists. Present time is used in my home when I feel the entire family needs a hug!
I think my favorite hug would be Hope: A Hug for Optimism. There are days I could use a little more optimism!
I love peace and calming!!!!!! I use it when I'm driving in the rain. I also love stress away, and I use it when I'm stressed at work. I also use lavender, cedarwood and frankincense for an extra long deep nights sleep!! I mix the combination and usually use 2 of them in the diffuser. Before my classes I use valor and frankincense for courage and relaxation, so I can speak with courage and passion!
I'd love to win the Valor or any of the oils,
I'd love to win this.
