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.

I am new to YL and have heard so much about valor. So excited to try it! Maybe I will win. Lol. Otherwise will be in my next order. Loving my oils!! So many favorites in my starter kit already!
I usually reach for Sacred Mountain when I need an inspiring lift, but I sure could use some Hope right about now! A Hug of Hope would be awesome!
Valor was my first oil experience when I started using Young Living essential oils and it made a large emotional impact on my life. Having dealt with anxiety and depression for most of my life, essential oils have helped to support a calm mind and balanced mood for me for a long time. I enjoy integrating some of these blends into my spiritual practice to help me to unwind and feel peace in my heart.
I love trying new oils. I have used valorous but none of the rest of them
I love trying new oils and learning new DIY.
Abundance & Purification are my go to oils when I simply need to clear my head.
I’m new to oils and have not had a chance to try any of the ones mentioned above. Can’t wait to start my collection!
I have release and valor and love them both, I have loved all of the oils I have gotten and am looking forward to getting these to add to my collection
I am new to Young Living, so still finding my favorites… Lately I have been using a blend of Lavender and Patchouli to keep my stress level low. It also seems to ward off mosquitoes, which is a bonus (especially in N. Illinois with all the flooding). I love Peace and Calming at night, it helps me shut down and sleep, especially those nights my brain just won’t turn off. And during the day, I have been diffusing Lemon and Geranium with a hint of Peppermint…it’s clean and refreshing on a hot summer day.
Valor and Highest Protential to start the day!
I love Stress Away. I keep a bottle on my desk at work and a bottle in my bag that I carry everyday. Got a bottle of Valor last month, so I am pretty new to that oil. Love the smell of it.
I love frankincense and valor together in the diffuser.
I just started using YL. I receiv d my starter kit & am loving it! I smelled Valor at a YL group & loved it! I would love to try out the others.
I use valor in my necklace to help unwind from a long day at work. Love it!
I use stress away in my difusser every night. It relaxes me and helps me sleep. I love to share it with with my family and friends. It makes me feel good when someone isn’t so sure about oils and then when i share my collection they want to know more! My kids love it so much they want their own collection!
I love Valor. Looking forward to trying these Hugs in a bottle!!
After reading all the positive benefits about these oils, I would love to try them. I currently use Ylang Ylang and Stress Away to help with peace and comfort. When I’m teaching, I add several drops to my diffuser necklace and my kids (6th graders) want to sniff all day. :)
First, as a caregiver of our mature citizens, and then as a school bus driver, my go to oils are lavender, 2 drops rubbed between hands and inhaled, StressAway on the back of my neck and ear lobes, and Peace and Calming in the diffuser when I get home. This combo has gotten me through some pretty difficult times.
I just received my first bottle of Valor and love it! I’m fairly new to YL and can’t get enough. These blends sound amazing!!
I have been using Lavender with Peace and Calming II. I sometimes diffuse this in my classroom as well, when my students are feeling especially stressed or anxious. I have been experiencing some significant anxiety recently, so I can’t wait to try some of these oils.
Stress Away quickly became a favourite of mine when I needed a comforting boost, but the first time I tried Valor – wow! That stuff is AMAZING! I wear it daily in my diffuser bracelet and it has done wonders for my confidence levels. It is a worked day must have.
I found a mix of Frankincense, stress away and peace and calming (sometimes I add lavender) help me relax, especially at bed time.
I’ve never tried these blends. I’ll have to do that.
I adore Valor and have to say it is my favorite oil. It brings me into a balance and helps to center me. I fell like the worries and cares of the world fall away around me. Cant be without it! And when I get a hug or give a hug people always say how wonderful I smell.
I use Valor daily by my computer and my daughter just loves her Sacred Mountain in her room.
I love Stress Away!
I am waiting for my bottle of valor to try with my rescue Boston terrier. They are so fearful when they come into rescue.
Love learning about the oils. So far Peace and Calm is my favorite.
I love Valor! Great list of blends–thank you.
I love Valor for grounding and aligning all the frequencies. These are some of my favorite oils for transformation!
Sacred Mountain is my hug! It has the most soothing, calming fragrance for me. I also use Grounding and Tranquil along with Stress Away. Young Living has changed my life for the better as I have removed OTC products and incorporated YL pure products into my life.
I have just started using stress away on my neck and wrists. I use Lavender to relax. I am planning on trying more oils soon.
We recently started using your products and love them. It would be wonderful to win the three scents, especially Valor and Sacred Mountain. My wife lost her father a few weeks ago and I think they would be beneficial.
I’ve used three out of these six oils. Christmas Spirit also brings me comfort because there is something about the aromas around that time of year that soothes my soul. Janet C.
I’ve been diffusing Peace & Calming every night and it’s a life saver! And my friends love it when I use Purification because they say it smells so good. But I would REALLY LOVE to try Sacred Mountain & Highest Potential because I hear great things about them but haven’t had the chance to use them myself.
I currently daily use Joy, Orange, Valor on my chest area, Sacred Mountain above my navel, and Release on my liver area. I love these oils, they have helped me so much. Thank you for the possibility of winning the 3 oils 🤗
Frankincense is my favorite oil for peace and comfort. I find that it calms my mind and I find it relaxing!
Some of my favorite oils for daily use for relaxing and peace & comfort, are Lavender, Stress Away, Joy, and Peace & Comfort. Not only do I find comfort in these, my three children come to me when they feel that they need them as well. We love our oils.
I have used Lavender and Peace & Calming. I am fairly new to oils and would love to try these oils. Thank You YL.
Definitely need to try Sacred Mountain, because I love Ylang Ylang! And Stress Away is my escape “and” perfume!!
THis is my 1st time on the blog. Love the learning!
I am working on getting my adding to my essential oil collection. This would help me both with that and my well balance.
I need a hug!
Love stress away helps to calm!
Sacred Mountain seems like it would smell really good.
I have release in next months ER order!! Can’t wait to try it!
Love the usage tip for using Gathering during quality time with friends. Eager to try out in my new YL diffuser!
I would love to be hugged with these oils. I am just starting my young living journey and think adding these oils would amazing additions to my collection!
Some of my favorites for peace and comfort are Valor, Hope, Sacred Frankincense, Australian Blue, Release, Harmony and my new favorite Rose. I can’t believe that I waited so long to get it. Rose was considered an investment to me but I am worth it. These oils have given me peace, the sense of security and the ability to let go.
I love diffusing both Eucalyptus Radiata and Jade Lemon. I like to use Stress Away as my “perfume”. Sacred Mountain sounds amazing. I’ve not had the opportunity to try that one.
Valor I use daily. Is love to try the others mentioned. Very helpful info.
I love Valor and Stress Away. I purchased the Feelings Kit for my grandson who is 4 and was having some nighttime issues. I am so happy to say that they worked and all is well. He sleeps all night, no more issues… Thank you YL for our OILS!!
